Our Services

  • 1 hour - £14 per dog

    (Available at 9am, 11am or 1pm)

    Your dog will be collected from your home, transported to their walk location and returned safely - all in the hands of an experienced, Dog First Aid Trained walker. We take the time to match your dog to the right group, whether they’re a social butterfly, a keen sniffer or more of a plodder. Flexible and fuss-free, with no need to commit to set days in advance.

  • 45 min walk - £13

    30 min walk - £12

    (Available before 8am and after 3pm for our group walk clients only)

    Maybe your dog is recovering from an injury, you’re going to be getting home later than usual or they just need a bit of one on one time. We’ll pop in and take your dog out for a short stroll.

  • 30 min visit - £12

    15 min visit - £11

    (Available for our group walk clients only)

    Sometimes a walk isn’t what’s needed - just a friendly face. We’ll pop in to give your dog some fuss, a feed, or a well-timed toilet break. Perfect for busy days when you just need peace of mind.

  • Just let us know what you are looking for! We may not offer the service ourselves, but we will be happy to help by giving recommendations or sending you in the right direction

  • We offer a range of solutions designed to meet your dogs needs—whether you're looking for your dog to socialise, burn off some energy or simply needs a toilet break during the day.

  • Getting started is simple. Reach out through our contact form and tell us what you need. We will let you know how we can help

  • Flexibility is at the heart of everything we do. Because your dog gets to know all of our walkers, cover is never a problem - if your usual walker is unavailable, your dog can still enjoy their walk without any stress. There’s no need to commit to fixed days or book weeks ahead; we work week by week to fit around you. But its not just the flexibility - it’s the genuine care and personal touch we bring to every single walk.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Each of our walkers use their own vehicles to transport the dogs. All of our cars are fitted out with seatbelts for your dogs safety. We do not crate dogs for travel, we get your dog used to travelling in the car with others and use unbranded vehicles to prevent becoming targets to dog theft.

  • Yes, if you are looking for walks 5 days a week, or multiple walks a day we can absolutely help you with a discount. Just get in touch and we can give you a price.

  • Each walker will have 4-5 dogs with them on a group walk. Our insurance covers us for up to 6 dogs per person.

Chess

Chess founded Helpful Dog Mums with a clear vision: to build a reliable, transparent and genuinely caring service for the Leamington community. She brings big-picture thinking and real hand-on experience — and that combination sets the tone for everything we do. Chess has been working with dogs since 2018 and genuinely can’t imagine life any other way. She’s also a qualified Dog First Aid Instructor, delivering courses across the South Midlands. And of course, a special mention goes to her springer spaniel, Phoebe, who plays a vital role in the day-to-day operations.

Joely

Joely has been dog walking since 2023 and has proven time and time again just how dedicated and hardworking she is. Her love for dogs — and animals in general — shines through in everything she does, and its made her a firm favourite with both dogs and their owners alike. Her caring nature and can-do attitude make her a perfect fit for the Helpful Dog Mums team. She also has her own dog, Vallis — a pointer with a talent for photogenic poses and, reportedly, pooing on the move.

Leah

with mascots, Bonnie & Bella

Leah has been working with animals since 2022 completing her first lambing season at just 17. After time spent at a horse yard, she turned to dog walking in early 2025 — and took to it like a natural from day one. Her hands-on experience with all kinds of animals clearly transfers beautifully to dogs. Leah has two dogs of her own, Bella ( a Sprocker Spaniel) and Bonnie (a Labrador), plus a chicken and three sheep — and she’s a former Chairman of the Young Farmers, no less! Her positivity and natural instinct with dogs maker her a true cornerstone of the Helpful Dog Mums team.
