Sound Familiar?
These are the problems we hear from dog walkers in Leeds 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.
No photos of happy dogs putting owners at ease
Dog owners want to see smiling dogs. A website with photos from your walks builds trust faster than anything else.
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.
Recurring clients going to whoever they find first
Dog walking is a recurring service — once you lose a potential client, that's weekly income gone for months or years.
