Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from dog walkers in Birkenhead every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Dog owners choosing a walker they found on Google
Owners pick whoever looks most trustworthy online. Without a strong presence, someone else gets the client.
Clients love you but haven't left reviews
You have 4 reviews while a competitor has 35. New owners pick the one that looks like the safer bet.
Not showing up in local dog walking searches
Owners search nearby and pick from top results. If you're not there, they don't know you exist.
No way to show you're insured and DBS checked
Owners want proof their pet is safe. If your credentials aren't visible online, they choose someone else.
