Walking & Home Visit FAQs
Everything you need to know about our daily walks and home visits.
Can we meet beforehand?
Yes – we always recommend a meet & greet.How long are the walks?
Typically 45 mins, giving your dog the exercise and stimulation they need. For clarity, this is 45 mins exercise, not 45 mins from when the dog is collected.Why are your walks 45 mins instead of an hour?
Our walks are designed to provide focused, structured exercise rather than simply time on the clock. A 45 min walk offers plenty of physical activity, enrichment and stimulation for most dogs. It also allows us to keep small, well-managed groups and maintain high standards of care throughout. When you factor in collection, drop-off, towel drying, and post-walk checks, your dog enjoys a complete, well-rounded experience – not just the walk itself.What time are the walks?
Typically, these will be at 10am / midday / 2pm. However, please enquire if you require any other times (early morning, etc) and we’ll do our best to accommodate.Do you collect and return my dog?
Yes - safe home collection and return is included.Will my dog be off lead?
Only with your consent and if it is safe to do so.Are the walks in groups?
Yes - mainly small, friendly, well managed groups.Do you offer solo walks?
Absolutely - we understand not all dogs are the same and some require individual time and care on their own.What happens with home visits?
I’ll call in at a pre-arranged time to give your dog the care it needs - whether it’s just to let them out, feed them or just give them some well-deserved attention!Are you insured?
Yes - fully insured for complete peace of mind.What about keys if I’m not in?
Many customers have a key safe. However, you can leave a key with us - we’ll label it up with a code so that your address stays hidden.How do I pay?
An invoice will be created either weekly or monthly - whatever you prefer. Cash / bank transfer both accepted.

Meet Mark
Hi, I’m Mark - founder of Relax & Paws.I’m 45 years old, happily married to Emily, and proud dad to Daisy (18) and Leo (15). As a family, we’ve always been dog lovers - they’re not just pets in our house, they’re part of the family.For 18 years I worked out in the field at BT, but dogs have always been my real passion. After taking voluntary redundancy, I decided it was time to pursue something that truly means something to me.We sadly lost our beloved dog, Gus, the week before Christmas. Gus was a Labrador Collie cross and my absolute shadow. For 13 wonderful years we walked miles together -countryside paths, muddy trails, quiet mornings and long adventures. He was by my side through it all.Starting Relax & Paws is my way of honouring Gus and filling the space he’s left behind - by giving other dogs the exercise, care and companionship they deserve.I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. They’re family. And I’ll treat every dog I walk or care for as if they were my own.
I’m really looking forward to meeting lots of new furry friends and becoming a trusted part of your dog’s world.
