🐾 Welcome to The Surrey Ark 🐾

 

The Surrey Ark is a small, family-run, fully insured pet care and dog walking company based in Claygate. We’re proud to be independent—not a chain—so with us it’s always personal.  

Many of our clients have been with us for years and become friends along the way.

 

Our team is run by Sue, a Degree-Qualified Dog Behaviourist, and together we have over 12 years’ experience caring for dogs, cats, and other much-loved pets across Claygate and the surrounding areas (Esher, Chessington, the Dittons, Hinchley Wood, and Oxshott).

 

We offer:

Expert, Positive and Degree Qualified Dog Behaviour Training

Professional Dog Walking (specialising in solo walks)

Reactive Dog Walks

Loving Pet & Cat Care

Reliable Dog & House Sitting

​

✨ Premium Dog Walking with a Personal Touch

At The Surrey Ark, your pet’s well-being always comes first. Unlike many services, we focus on solo walks or carefully matched pairs, so your dog gets the attention and calm environment they deserve. Large group walks can lead to stress or over-excitement—something we avoid to keep walks positive and enjoyable.

 

Our small, dedicated team of conscientious animal lovers take time to really get to know your dog—their personality, preferences, and any special needs. Continuity is key, which means your dog can build a trusted relationship with their walker, while we also provide cover for holidays or illness.

​

✨ Tailored, Caring, & Professional

We are qualified, experienced, and Canine First Aid trained:

​

- All walkers are trained by Sue to meet the needs of each individual dog.

- We happily walk reactive dogs once assessed, with careful management in place.

- We provide discreet, stress-free service using unmarked vehicles—no crowded vans or waiting around. Your dog is collected, walked, and returned home happy and content.

 

🐾 Why Choose Us?

  - Over 12 years’ experience in the local area

   - Degree-qualified Dog Behaviourist leading the team

  -  Personal, friendly, and professional service

   - Tailored care for dogs, cats, and other pets

🐾 A Big Surrey Ark Update October 2025 🐾,

After 12 wonderful years, Leah, who started the business is off to pastures new to start a new chapter 💕 From 6th October, Leah and Sue will be relocating to Devon. Both will be back from time to time with regular dog sitting and Sue for her Behaviour clients.

✨ The good news is that the rest of The Surrey Ark Team will continue walking and caring for their regular clients, with Sue still managing the team remotely. Most of Leah’s regulars have already joined other lovely team members, so diaries are a little fuller—but your service should remain unchanged.

At the moment, we’re still operating a waiting list for new dog walking/sitting enquiries, as we’ve been at full capacity for some time. We always do our best to prioritise our existing clients when it comes to dog sitting requests. 🐶

Thank you so much for your continued trust and support—it truly means the world to us and our dedicated team of walkers and carers. 💜
