Walks and Waggy Tails in short

Walks and Waggy Tails is Graeme's Telford round covering walks, home sitting, puppy visits and vet or groomer transport in a ventilated vehicle with caged compartments. Full insurance and a CRB certificate are stated, with seven-day availability. There is no website, so the whole offer lives on listings. The round reads as one local person covering walks, sitting and transport end to end. The round is based in Wellington, serving Telford owners seven days a week.

One person covers the lot: walks, home sitting, puppy visits and vet or groomer transport, all run through a ventilated vehicle with caged compartments. That setup suits multi-pet households where different animals need different stops on the same day. Full insurance and a CRB certificate are stated, and bookings run through listings and the phone rather than a website.

The customer evidence is a perfect headline over a solid base, Google-only in the held record. For a one-person round that volume reads as steady local demand rather than a thin footprint. The gap beside it is paperwork, not popularity: no prices and no documented history sit alongside the reviews.

Reviews are spotless: 5 from 22 Google reviews, with no other platform ratings in the record we hold. Our view is that Walks and Waggy Tails suits multi-pet homes wanting walks, sitting and transport from the same pair of hands. What counts against it is the thin paper trail, with no prices and no documented history beside the reviews.

Questions about Walks and Waggy Tails

Is Walks and Waggy Tails any good?

On the evidence, yes for an all-rounder: it sits sixth in our Telford dog walkers table with 5 from 22 Google reviews, covering walks, sitting and transport on one round. Insurance and a CRB certificate are stated and the fitted vehicle suits multi-pet homes. The gaps are prices and history. Ask for walk, sit and transport rates at enquiry.

Is Walks and Waggy Tails registered with a trade scheme?

There is no mandatory register for dog walking, and no licence or scheme memberships are on record for this round. The directory listing states full insurance and a CRB certificate. Ask to see both documents, and get them confirmed before the first booking is agreed. With no website to check, put both documents and every answer in a message you keep.

What does Walks and Waggy Tails charge?

It publishes no prices for walks, sitting or transport. Send your routine and postcode for an exact quote, and ask what a standard walk and a sit each cost. Confirm the price and the cancellation terms before you agree anything for your routine. Ask how puppy visits and transport runs are priced beside standard walks.

Where does Walks and Waggy Tails work?

Graeme's round is based in Wellington and serves Telford owners, running seven days a week across walks, sitting and pet transport. There is no website, so contact runs through listings and the phone number. Call with your routine to confirm the round covers you and your dogs. Ask where walks usually go and how the caged vehicle is set up.

How is Walks and Waggy Tails ranked?

It ranks sixth of the ten dog walkers in our September round, picked for owners wanting walks plus sitting from the same pair of hands. The five-star reviews carry it into sixth despite the thin paper trail. Read the full review and its sources, then ask for rates for your routine.

What do the reviews say about Walks and Waggy Tails?

The held record shows 5 from 22 Google reviews, seen 4 September 2026, with no other platform ratings beside them. That is a spotless picture from steady local demand on a one-person round. Read a spread of the reviews themselves, then ask for the rates and history that the headline does not show.

How does Walks and Waggy Tails compare with the other Telford dog walkers?

It sits sixth of ten, between Haydens Home Dog Boarding and Telford Dog Trainer. The one-person cover across walks, sitting and transport is what sets it apart. The missing price list leaves it harder to compare than the priced training practice below it. Compare the full table, then match the pick to your household.
