Hi there! I’m Lailla, owner of Willow’s Walkies
Do you not have time or are you unable to walk your dog?
Maybe you have recently returned to work and your dog is home alone?
I would love to help!
Services & Pricing
Group Walks
£12.50* Per Hour (+ £6.25* for an additional dog from the same household)
These will consist of no more than 5 dogs being walked together (off the lead where possible) in a secure field with interesting, natural scents for your dog. These are fun walks while improving the socialisation of your dog(s) along with their fitness.
Solo Walks
£16* Per Hour
If your dog is not able to be walked with other dogs or you simply prefer them to have some extra special 1 to 1 time with lots of fuss, a solo walk is for you. These are 1 hour in length and are generally conducted in the local area on a lead.
Puppy / Senior Walks
£10* Per 30 Minutes
If you have a puppy or older dog then our Puppy / Senior walks are the best option. These are 30 minutes in length and your dog will receive lots of fuss and attention.
These will help ease your Puppy into the outside world gently and not overwork an older dog, whilst still exercising them. These are carried out in the local area, in woodland if nearby and primarily on a lead.
Home Visits
£9* - This is a pop in 20 minute visit (+ £3 for an additional dog)
On a home visit, we will let your dog out to go to the toilet, ensure they are fed if necessary and that their water is replenished. There will be lots of cuddles and fuss before settling them down and ensuring your home is left secure. Any post etc. will be collected and put aside and your dogs paws will be towel dried during poor weather to keep them warm and your home tidy.
Whilst on these home visits, should you not wish to alert anyone that you are not home, I can attend in my personal car instead of my branded van.
*Please note these are my 2022 prices.
About Me
My Willow
Willow’s Walkies is named after my beautiful first fur baby Willow, who we brought into our lives as a pup in 2010. She quickly became the absolute love of my life, until she was sadly taken from us too soon at the age of 7. I didn’t realise just how much a dog can impact your life. Willow brought us so much joy and happiness. She was more than just a “dog” but my baby who I loved like a child.
I have now been lucky enough to have another beautiful girl join our lives, named Daisy, who once again I adore.
My Husband is a dog handler and so I also have hands on experience with his two service dogs at home.
I have realised that dogs are a passion of mine and I wish to share my time to assist others in caring for theirs.
FAQ’s
How many dogs are walked at any one time?
I believe dogs have more fun if they can play and interact with other dogs. My groups are kept small with a maximum of 5 dogs. Groups are carefully selected with breed, age, sex and personality in mind and can be discussed with the owner beforehand.
Will I get to meet you beforehand?
Yes. I offer a free face-to-face initial consultation in order to understand your dog’s personality and needs. This will also give you the chance to get to know me and my Brand, and ask any questions you might have to find out how things work.
Are you insured and DBS checked?
Yes. I’m fully insured (this also includes house key cover) and DBS checked. Feel free to ask to see a copy of my documents at your consultation.
Where do you walk?
I walk my furry friends in Crawley and the surrounding areas.
Do you arrange picking up and dropping off the dogs?
Yes. I collect your dog from your home or place of work at an agreed time and then return them after their walk.
My dog has not been neutered / spayed, can you still walk them?
Yes, they can join me for a solo walk, but are unable to join my group walks.
How do you transport the dogs to the walk location?
I have a fully insured air-conditioned van, which has a dog guard and cages fitted. Each cage has non slip mats to make the journey to the walk as safe and comfortable as possible.
Do I need to be home when you collect or drop off my dog?
No. Most of my clients are comfortable sharing a set of keys to enable me to collect and drop off your dog even if you are not home.
When are you available to walk my dog?
I’m available 08:45am to 2:30pm Tuesday to Friday. Please contact me if you require services outside these hours.
What happens in bad weather?
We get wet!! I will towel dry your dog off as much as possible.
Will my dog be supervised at all times?
Yes. Your dog will be under constant supervision and will NEVER be left unattended.
Testimonials
“I would highly recommend Lailla to walk your dog. I have a Shihpoo dog that is normally very shy and slightly nervous called Tallulah. Tallulah was very apprehensive at first but now runs to the door when Lailla arrives, she loves her hour walk.”
“I have two Yorkshire Terriers that Lailla walks for me. I’m unable to take them out myself due to bad health. Lailla has taken a lot of my worry away and my dogs Toby and Mac look forward to her coming. ”
“Having to no longer work from home and returning to the office, I needed someone to walk my lovely Springer Spaniel, Charlie. Lailla was the perfect fit! I can see Charlie’s excitement on our Ring doorbell each day as he goes for his walk with Lailla. Lailla is kind and caring, I love that Charlie gets to spend time with her each day. ”
“Dexter is our beloved Westie. Being a little older, he can’t walk quite as far as he used to. As I work shifts, It’s convenient to be able to book Lailla on a adhoc basis to take Dexter out for a nice 30 minute stroll. We’re so glad we found Willow’s Walkies, Not being a huge company, its a much more personal service.”
