Dog Walking
and Home Boarding
Based in St Johns, Worcester
Where is St Johns Walkies located and what area do you cover?
St John’s Walkies is based in the St John's area of Worcester, a historic suburb located just west of the River Severn. While my dog walking service is limited to those within St. John's only, my customer base for home boarding covers a wide range of local neighbourhoods throughout the city, including St. John's, Dines Green, Henwick, Lower Wick, and Rushwick, as well as adjacent parts of Worcester city centre.
Is there a consultation before the first booking?
Yes. I schedule a free initial meet & greet at your house for walking services, and at my house for home boarding. You can introduce me to your dog and discuss their needs and routine.
What services does St Johns Walkies offer?
I provide professional dog walking, and home boarding services.
Do you accept dogs that are not neutered?
I only accept adult dogs that are neutered.
Does St Johns Walkies accept puppies?
Puppies must be able to walk for 1 hour in order to join my dog walking services. Dogs must be 12 months or older in order to be accepted for home boarding.
What is the maximum number of dogs do you accept for home boarding?
My Worcester City Council licence permits me to host a maximum of 4 guest dogs per day, alongside my 2 very friendly resident dogs. However, I highly value a calm, stress-free environment, so I rarely operate at full capacity. In most cases, I generally only look after 2 guest dogs at any one time, bringing the total household group to 4 dogs. This lower ratio ensures that every dog receives lots of individual attention, dedicated play sessions, and quiet space to rest. By intentionally keeping my guest numbers small, I can focus entirely on providing a safe, comfortable, and tailored "home away from home" experience for your dog.
Is St Johns Walkies council licensed and insured?
Yes. I have a licence from Worcester City Council number 24/04881/ANIACT. I am 4-star rated which is the highest rating available at a first inspection. My dog walking and home boarding services are fully insured. I can show you this information at the meet & greet.
What should I pack for a home boarding stay?
Pack everything that you would if your dog was staying with a friend or family member. Bring their bed and a blanket, these will smell like home and give comfort. Bring their food plus 10% extra for emergencies (in case you are delayed). Bring their lunchtime snack or treat, and any medications they need. Harnesses, coats, a collar with an ID tag. I can provide you with a detailed list when I confirm your booking.
Is St Johns Walkies canine first aid trained?
Yes, absolutely. Your dog’s safety and well-being is my top priority, which is why I am fully trained and certified in Canine First Aid. This professional training is regularly refreshed and updated to ensure I am always up to date with the latest veterinary emergency protocols.
