Trusted Dog Walking & Pet Sitting in Ashford, Kent & the North Downs
Transparent, honest pricing — no hidden extras, ever.
Structured, stimulating outdoor time — great for a midday stretch or lighter exercise needs.
A full hour of exploration, keeping your dog active, happy and well-exercised.
A 30-minute check-in for feeding, toilet break, fresh water and plenty of affection.
A half-day of attentive care in your dog's own home — perfect for shorter trips or busy days out (weekends only, subject to availability).
Your dog stays in the comfort of their own home overnight — familiar surroundings, loving care, and a peaceful night's sleep.
Social walks with carefully matched companions for dogs who love making new furry friends (subject to suitability assessment).
Safety and compatibility are my highest priorities. Every new dog is assessed during the meet and greet to confirm social skills, manners, lead skills, and recall (or calm long-line handling) before group placement.
As part of this premium vetting process, I include a compatibility check alongside my own well-socialised dog to help ensure safe, balanced groups for future North Downs adventures.
I am currently taking on new group-walk clients whose dogs meet these standards. Dogs not yet ready for groups may be offered one-to-one walks if availability allows. I can also provide preparation walks and, where needed, refer to a trusted local trainer with clear guidance on readiness goals.
Fully insured and DBS checked for your complete peace of mind.
Canine first aid & CPR certified. Your dog's safety is my top priority.
Currently offering solo walks — your dog always has my full, undivided attention, with dogs formed into groups where appropriate.
Walk updates and photos sent straight to you so you can enjoy the adventure too.
North Downs Hounds, previously known as Puppy Love Walks, was founded from my unwavering love of walking my own three dogs. I left my career as a paramedic to spend more time in the gorgeous Kent countryside with my favourite companions. I currently offer solo walks, with plans to create safe, fun small groups of up to three dogs for North Downs adventures. I understand your dog is a cherished member of your family, and I treat them that way. When your dog walks with me, their needs are met through fun, stimulating exercise, and they have the time of their lives.
