Walk This Way

Dog Walking & Pet Sitting Service

Hi, and thank you for visiting the web page for “Walk This Way”. A company established in early 2012 to accommodate the requirements of your busy lifestyle and aid your pets daily requirements when you are away, at work, poorly or just need a break from it all.

My name is Karen and I run “Walk This Way”. I have a yellow Labrador and 2 cats and know how stressful it can be to juggle work commitments, social and pleasure time. That’s why “Walk This Way” is here to help no matter how regular or occasionally “Walk This Way’s” services are required.

“Walk This Way” offers a pet sitting and dog walking service in Hertfordshire and surrounding areas. Based in Bovingdon and able to cover areas including Berkhamsted, Chesham, Hemel Hempstead, Boxmoor, Kings Langley and anything in between.

Dog Walking

Are you unable to walk your dog due to your current circumstances changing or just out for the day, commitments at work, convalescing after an operation or illness? Whatever the reason let “Walk This Way” ease your stress and do it for you!

Whatever the weather, “Walk This Way” are committed to exercising your pet. We will collect your beloved dog and take him/her for a fun walk on a designated route (this ensures you know the terrain and area they are in). Dogs can benefit greatly from a long, energetic fun walk and are then less likely to develop behavioural problems, as this ensures they are released from boredom and isolation. All dogs benefit from exercise mentally and physically after all dogs are pack animals and sociable creatures just like us.Your dog will receive individual attention as well as the companionship of other dogs who like nothing more than exercising in parks, open fields or woodland and once the walk is completed “Walk This Way” will ensure that your pet is returned to your home towel dried and ready to be welcomed back into the home. Each walk lasts for around one hour; you have the option of morning, lunch time or afternoon.

If you wish your dog to be walked on an individual basis this is not a problem and older dogs and puppies can be given exercise at a pace more suitable to their ability.
