Website Design for Dog Walkers, Built by Someone Who Picks Up the Phone
If you've tried Checkatrade, Bark, Yell, MyBuilder, and a relative's nephew who builds websites, and none of it brought you steady work, this is the next thing to try.

Why It's Different for Dog Walkers
The honest reason most dog-walkers struggle online is that they hire someone whose other clients are dentists or e-commerce. The advice does not transfer. We work specifically with trades and we know how the calls actually come in.
The work coming through the door for dog-walkers is mostly multiple dog handling, key holding, and trust and insurance. Most dog-walkers are accredited with No mandatory regulation; Narps UK, insurance requirements, DBS checks, and that is one of the things dog-walker customers check before they call.
What We Actually Do
Dog Walkers get told the same marketing advice as everyone else, and most of it does not apply. Here is what actually works for dog-walkers in 2026. Honest list of what is included so you can compare: website (built and hosted), Google Business Profile (set up and run weekly), review automation, SEO work, missed-call text-back, monthly report. Nothing hidden.
Dog Walkers who join the package go through the same dog-walker-specific onboarding: we collect dog-walker business details, photos, and existing reviews on day one. We build the dog-walker site over the following week and start the dog-walker SEO and Google profile work in week two.
What Most Owners Get Wrong
We work with seven UK trades businesses, and the same diagnosis keeps coming up across our dog-walkers and other trades clients. The common thread is search visibility, not skill. Here's what's really going on. When someone searches for what you do near them, Google shows three businesses on the map. Those three get most of the calls. If you're not in those three, you may as well not exist for that search.
The Clients We Already Run
Dog Walkers get told the same marketing advice as everyone else, and most of it does not apply. Here is what actually works for dog-walkers in 2026. Seven paying clients across the UK. A plumber in Pontyclun who started us in March. A plumber in Nottingham with 188 reviews on Google. A heating engineer in Liverpool. A paving contractor in Staines. A bathroom fitter in Blackpool. A heating engineer near Battle. A plumber in Cheshunt. All paying monthly.

The Three Things That Move the Needle
Local SEO and Google Business Profile
Local SEO is the bulk of what we do. Real keyword research using DataForSEO, on-page optimisation for the queries that bring calls, Google profile management every week, and ranking checks every Monday. No hand-waving, no monthly PDF that says 'progressing well'.
Missed-Call Text-Back
Most owners we set this up for save the cost of the entire month's package in the first week, just from missed-call recoveries. It is the part of the system that pays back fastest.
Review Automation
Reviews show up in two places that matter: on your Google Business Profile (where new prospects see them) and as a ranking signal (Google rewards businesses with steady, recent review flow). We feed both at the same time.
What It Costs
Total cost: £199 setup, then £199 each month. Less than £6.70 a day. Compare that to one Checkatrade subscription that locks you into twelve months for the same price and gives you nothing but a listing.

Frequently Asked
What does it actually cost?
Two numbers, no surprises. £199 for the website itself (built and hosted by us, yours to keep). £199 a month after that for the management. Three months minimum.
What do you actually do every month?
Plain English: we make your business show up first when people Google for what you do nearby, we make sure no calls get lost when you cannot answer, and we show you exactly what changed every month.
Do I need to do anything technical?
None at all. We are the team you would hire to handle the technical side of marketing, except cheaper, and run by one person who actually replies. You do not touch any settings, ever.
What if I already have a website?
If you have already got a website, we will migrate it over and keep your domain. Your old content stays, your pages stay, your URLs stay. Nothing breaks. We just make it faster and rebuild the bits that are not working.
How long until I see results?
Some things move quickly (Google profile improvements, missed-call recovery, more reviews) and some things take longer (search rankings, traffic). Most of our clients see noticeable improvement in the first month and bigger movement by month three.
Can I cancel?
Quick version: three months minimum, then cancel whenever you like by text. The website stays with you. No exit fees, no penalties, no admin charges.
