Dog walkers and pet sitters: what to expect in Leicester
A reliable dog walker gives far more than a lap around the block: exercise, mental stimulation and company while you're at work. Trust is the key here — someone you don't know is taking your dog out, or coming into your home. Choose someone who fits around your schedule and checks in after the walk.

- ✦Feedback: a photo or quick message after the walk to say all went well.
- ✦Responsibility: what they do if the dog falls ill or gets loose during a walk.
- ✦Flexible times and dependable punctuality.
- ✦References or reviews from other owners.
