With Sam's Pet Services a one-hour group walk costs £14 on weekdays and a one-hour one-to-one walk costs £19. Shorter 30-minute walks are £11 for a group walk and £13 for a one-to-one.

On a group walk I pick your dog up and they join a small group of other dogs for an outdoor adventure. It suits sociable dogs who enjoy company.

On a one-to-one walk your dog is the only one with me, on a route you choose or one of my favourite routes. It suits puppies, older dogs, reactive dogs and dogs still learning their manners.

Overnight cat care is £35 a night. Overnight dog care starts at £50 a night and includes an hour of walking, plus £5 for each additional pet.

I stay in your home overnight so your animals keep their routine and the house is lived in while you are away. A longer walking routine, weekends and bank holidays cost a little more, and I will tell you the exact price before you book.
