Premium Dog Walking with The Surrey Ark
At The Surrey Ark, we offer a premium dog walking service that prioritises your pet’s well-being and happiness. Unlike many other companies, we specialise in solo walks to give your dog the individual attention they deserve.
Our experienced and dedicated team consists of highly conscientious animal lovers who take great care in ensuring your pet’s safety and comfort. We rarely walk more than two dogs at a time—only when we know they are a great match and you are happy with it. Large group walks can often lead to excitement or tension, which is why we take a more personalised approach.
A Tailored Approach to Your Dog’s Needs
With The Surrey Ark, your dog will never be paired with an unsuitable companion—a rare promise in today’s dog-walking industry, where multiple dogs are often walked together with little consistency.
We focus on positive human-dog interactions, engaging them in fun activities that encourage good behaviour and strengthen their bond with their regular walker. Our small, dedicated team of 10 ensures continuity and trust, allowing your dog to build a strong relationship with their walker while also providing reliable cover during holidays or illness.
We take the time to understand your dog’s unique personality, including their likes, dislikes, and any behavioural needs, so we can tailor each walk to what they enjoy most.
Discreet & Stress-Free Service
For added security and discretion, we use unmarked vehicles—so there’s no outward sign that you’re not home. Unlike many other services, we don’t transport dogs around in crowded vans or leave them waiting for long periods. Instead, we collect them from your home, take them on their walk, and return them clean, content, and happy.
Join Our Waiting List
Many of our clients have trusted us with their pets since we started over 10 years ago, and demand for our service remains high. We currently have a waiting list for new clients, but please get in touch—availability changes all the time!
