Colchester Dog Walking

At Ginger and Tails Colchester, booking your dog walks is simple and convenient through my user-friendly app, allowing you to schedule walks a month in advance. All payments are securely required upon booking to guarantee your dog’s spot.

I collect your dog(s) from your home and return them safely after their walk. I am fully insured, DBS checked, and insured to hold keys. Your dog’s 50-minute walk begins when we reach the scenic walking location, ensuring no travel time is deducted from their exercise.

On group dog walks, I never walk more than four dogs at a time, carefully matching dogs by size, temperament, and location to ensure they enjoy a safe and comfortable experience. I am certified in Pet First Aid and carry a basic first aid kit, with a full kit in my vehicle for added safety.

Walks are available Monday to Friday, with the first one of the day starting around 10am (with earlier pick-up times) and then subsequent walks throughout the day. For group walking, I match dogs based on temperament and proximity, so while specific times may not always be available, I strive to be as flexible as possible. If you have questions about timings, feel free to contact me.

For safe transportation, all dogs must wear a harness, as required by my insurance. Dog walking services include a 4-mile round trip. Any additional mileage beyond 2 miles from my location is charged at 45p per mile. I typically serve the CO1, CO2, and CO3 areas and am based in CO3 3.

To ensure consistency, I require at least one walk per week for each dog. I generally do not take bookings on bank holidays.

All dog walking is done on-lead by default, unless:

• You agree I can walk your dog(s) off the lead
• I am confident that the dog(s) will recall
• There is a safe area for the dog(s) to be off lead
• I have walked your dog(s) before
