Hiking Hounds Dog Walking Services

General information

I realise that not everyone works daytime Monday to Friday and so I will try to be flexible to accommodate your pet care needs whether you intend to use my services on a regular or occasional use basis.

Before agreeing on any service I will call round to meet with you and your dog. This will help me to find out your exact requirements, obtain important information and complete the required paperwork.

SERVICES

Group Walks / Adventures
These take place in and around North Edinburgh area Like Silverknowes/Cramond/Corstorphine and are in small groups of a maximum of 6 dogs. Dogs will be walked on/off lead as pre-agreed with the owners providing I am happy that good recall is established. Your dog should also benefit from being in its natural pack environment where it can have fun and learn positive behaviour from others. Your dog will be collected from / returned to your home. I will check the water bowl and can feed if necessary on return home.
1 hour walk - £10

Individual walks
I am happy to provide this service when it will fit in with my other commitments. The style and pace of walk can then be tailored exactly to the requirements of your dog(s).
1 hour walk - £14

Puppy Care
Puppies are so much fun but they also need lots of attention. They need to develop stamina for walking whilst they are growing so rapidly. Only when they have completed the vaccination program and their legs are stronger will they be ready to join in with a group dog walk. Due to this, I offer short walks and home visits for toilet breaks, clean up, play and some help with their development. My service can be designed to suit exactly what you and your puppy require.
30 minute home visit with short playtime or walk - £8

Pet Visits & Pet Sitting
I am also fully insured to offer a pet sitting service. Maybe you wish a late night out or to attend a long function or family event where your dog isn't included but you don't want your dog left along for a long period of time. I can help by coming to your home, providing a walk and then staying with your pet for 2 hours+. During this time I can feed them and provide them with company, fun and play.

Pet Visits - 30 minutes - £8 per visit
Pet Sitting - 2 hours - £16 to £18

Dog Photography
I will take formal dog portraits, indoor/outdoor + with/without humans. Most things are possible. However, I really enjoy capturing the personality of animals as they move around. You will find examples of some action shots of dogs on my Facebook or Instagram pages. Dogs are such good subjects when they are enjoying a good run around in an exciting place.

A set of digital images can be provided. I can post process images to add particular fun effects or colours to suit where you wish to display the image.

If wished I can arrange for your chosen image(s) to be mounted and framed or printed onto canvas or aluminium. The choice of sizes, finishes and styles is almost limitless.

The price for a photo session will depend the time span booked and on your individual requirements. Please just ask me for more details.

For my dog walking clients I may capture a good image of your dog when we are out on a walk. If you see a photograph you like on my social media pages then just ask as I may be able to provide the full size digital image for a small fee ( it will depend on which camera I took with me that day! )
