Higham Ferrers dog walker
individual dog walker in Higham Ferrers
Hello I'm Simon, a Higham Ferrers based professional dog walker with years of experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes! I am different to the majority of dog walkers because I individually walk dogs rather than group walking them. All walks start from your home, I do not transport your dog - many dogs do not react well to being placed in a van with other dogs or on a group walk. I offer a more personalised service for you and your dog. I have walked many of my dogs for several years which is testament to the service I offer.
You can be sure of a professional and friendly service where I put your dogs first. All one hour walks include some countryside or park walking and I try to walk your dog in different locations each day for some variety. I will treat your dog exactly the same way as I do my own dog with cuddles at the end of the walk.
I try to run an environmentally friendly business, I travel between dogs on an electric folding bicycle and I only use compostable dog waste bags.

Experienced with dogs
I grew up around dogs and cats and had many dogs of my own over the years before setting up as a professional dog walker in my mid 40s, now a decade later I have walked many dogs from a tiny Yorkshire Terrier with a big personality to a pair of Czechoslovakian Wolf dogs who stood as tall as me when on their hind legs. I have experience of reactive dogs although due to my insurance conditions I can not walk overly aggressive dogs or those with severe behaviour issues.
I have full insurance and am first aid trained.
All dogs great and small deserve a one to one solo dog walk!

about me
Hi...
I’m Simon (Uncle Simon to many dogs), chief dog walker at Higham & Rushden Walkies. I set up as a professional dog walker when my elderly Golden Retriever no longer wanted to go for long walks, it seemed the perfect way to combine my love of the outdoors with my love of dogs.
Dog walking isn't my only job! I am also a busy wedding photographer at weekends, travelling all over the country and sometimes abroad. Dog walking gets me away from my computer screen for several hours a day and also keeps me fit as I walk around 12 miles on an average day. Because I do no earn my entire income from dog walking I can concentrate on doing one to one walks and I only have a maximum of six walks a day, this ensures your dog will get my full attention.
