"Walkeaze are so experienced with all different shaped and sized dogs 🐕. My little Pom Harry adores Sam and I fully trust her with him...we couldn’t imagine anyone else to look after my fur baby! Thank you as always Sam, from me and Harry" 😊
Kelly and Harry
"Sam is absolutely wonderful with my dog Charlie and he loves his long walks with her and the girls. I never have to worry knowing she was popping in throughout the day to check on my special boy"
Alice and Charlie
"Fantastic dog walking service catering to my dog's individual needs. Competitively priced and fast responses to enquiries means that communication is easy. The option of weekend walks is a huge bonus too! I feel very confident and happy leaving my dog in Walkeaze's safe hands. Highly recommended"
Jenny and Millie
“Sam walks my 9 month old puppy twice a week. He’s already into a routine and loves his walks! She is helping us to train him to heal walk and to not bark at strangers. After two weeks we have seen an improvement. With her knowledge and experience with animals I trust her with my dog and would highly recommend. Sam is doing brilliant work with our puppy on his walks, he can’t wait for her to come.”
Tanya and Floyd
Sam has been walking our dog, Spirit, for a while now and is absolutely fantastic. Spirit always looks forward to her walks with Sam, who makes sure they're fun and varied. Sam has also helped us a great deal with training re-enforcement. Spirit was very nervous and sometimes quite reactive, when we first got her (she's a rescue). Sam did a brilliant job of befriending the fluffy white monster and gaining her trust. Ever since, she (the dog, not Sam) has been going from strength to strength, is so much more calm on walks and able to deal with the majority of dog encounters without reacting. We also get to enjoy a steady stream of pictures of Spirit, on Instagram. Which is very entertaining and also handy as I can never convince Spirit to look at a camera! Highly recommended!
Rob and Spirit
“Sam and Sandra are so helpful, friendly and informative. They provide exactly the service I was looking for, for my beloved senior dog. Nothing appears to be too much trouble. Everything but my dogs collar is provided and my dog really enjoys his walks with the ladies! Would thoroughly recommend.”
Adele and Peanut
“ I had a very long list of requirements for a walker for my two dogs. Sam hits those and more. She honestly loves every dog she walks. My two come back happy and tired. She also posts pictures from the walks so i can see the mischief my two get up to. She has been a godsend fitting in extra walks when i have been sick. When my dogs see her van they pull my arm out the socket and cannot get in quick enough. Cannot recomend her highly enough.
Lauren with Nori and Gizmo
Sam and her team are absolutely amazing at looking after our cat when we are away. Friendly, reliable, trustworthy and very helpful. It's a treat for Mici when we go away and peace of mind for us as we know he is in the best hands xxx

Sam and Sandra are just fabulous. Diego loves them so much. I could not think of anyone better to look after my super anxious boy. He is always so thrilled to see them and they are so patient, knowledgeable, kind and loving and best of all, treat him like their own. I completely trust them, as does m boy.
