Emergency dog walking and collection service - when you're stuck at work, feeling ill, or your regular walker's cancelled. Your dog gets a proper walk, you get peace of mind.
### When Your Dog Can't Wait
You're stuck in a meeting that's overrun. **Your dog's been home alone for 8 hours already.** The regular dog walker's ill. You're feeling terrible but the dog still needs walking. Life happens.
This is emergency backup - I'll collect your dog, take them for a proper walk, bring them home, make sure they've got water, and lock up. You focus on whatever crisis you're dealing with.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Put my number in your phone as "Emergency Dog Walk." When you need it, you'll be glad you've already got the contact saved.

Our Crediton Service Coverage
We cover Crediton and a 30-mile radius from Exeter, meaning you get local service with the backing of an established business. Whether you're in the centre of Crediton or in the surrounding villages, we're here to help.
Good to Know
> 🐕 **First time?** If possible, let me meet your dog briefly when you're home first - even just 5 minutes. Makes collection much easier if they've seen me before and you've said I'm okay. **Regular emergencies?** If this becomes a pattern (shift work, caring responsibilities), we can set up a retainer or regular slot arrangement. More reliable for you, easier for me to schedule. **Exeter's great dog walking spots:** I know Ludwell Valley, Riverside Valley Park, Exwick playing fields, and the canal paths. If your dog has a favorite local spot, just let me know and I'll take them there.
Frequently Asked Questions about Dog walking collection in Crediton
Is this a regular dog walking service?
Not really - I'm a handyman who happens to like dogs, not a professional dog walker. This is for emergencies when you're stuck at work late, feeling ill, or your regular walker's let you down. One-off help when you need it, not daily walks.
What kind of walk do they get?
Depends on the dog - typically 30-45 minutes at a local park or field. I'll follow your instructions on where they like to go and whether they can be off-lead. It's a proper walk, not just a quick toilet break in the garden.
My dog is nervous with strangers - will this work?
Probably not on short notice. If your dog needs slow introduction to new people, this emergency service won't be right for them. This works best for friendly, confident dogs who'll happily go with someone new if you say it's okay.
How do you access my property to collect them?
However you arrange - you can leave a key, use a key safe, or be home to let me in before you dash off. Same for returning them. We'll work out what suits your situation.
What if my dog does something embarrassing?
I've had dogs my whole life - nothing fazes me. Poo bags provided and used. Any issues like pulling on lead or reactivity to other dogs, just warn me in advance so I'm prepared.
