Choosing a dog walker in Milton Keynes
Dog walking is not a licensed profession in the UK, but there are clear signs of a responsible walker. Check that they hold public liability and care, custody and control insurance, and ask whether they are members of a recognised body such as the National Association of Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers (NarpsUK) or the Pet Industry Federation. Canine first aid training, a DBS check and a written service agreement covering your dog's routine, feeding and vet details are all reasonable to request. If a walker offers home boarding or daycare rather than just walking, that activity is licensable under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018, so ask to see the licence issued by Milton Keynes City Council.
Getting the most from a local service
Ask how many dogs are walked together, as many councils and insurers set sensible limits, and check that public spaces such as Willen Lake, Campbell Park and the redway network suit your dog's temperament. Clarify whether walks are solo or in a group, how long each walk lasts, and how the walker handles recall, other dogs and adverse weather. A short trial walk and a meet-and-greet let you confirm the dog is comfortable before committing, and it is worth agreeing arrangements for keys, GPS tracking or photo updates, and cancellation in advance.
Do dog walkers in Milton Keynes need a licence?
Dog walking on its own does not require a licence in England. However, if the same business also offers home boarding, daycare or breeding, those activities must be licensed by Milton Keynes City Council under the Animal Welfare (Licensing of Activities Involving Animals) Regulations 2018. It is reasonable to ask which services a business is licensed for.
What should I check before booking a dog walker?
Ask about public liability insurance, canine first aid training and whether the walker is DBS checked, since they will often hold keys to your home. It also helps to confirm group sizes, walk length, the areas used and how emergencies or vet contact are handled, and to arrange a meet-and-greet so your dog can settle before the first walk.
