FAQS | Dog Club Derby

How much do you charge?

For dogs within a 2/3 mile radius, 1 hour group walks start at £13 per dog with block booking or multiple dog per household discounts available. Solo walks start at £16 per hour.
How many dogs are walked at one time?

Group sizes are around 4-5 dogs. I carefully pick which dogs are walked together based on personality type to ensure each dog gets the most from their walk.
Do you pick up and drop off?

Yes I do, within a 2/3 mile radius. Other locations can be discussed, please get in touch with me. Lauren@dogclubderby.co.uk
Do I need to be at home when you collect and drop my dog off?

No, most of my clients are comfortable with sharing a spare set of keys with me. I can pick your dog up and drop them off when you can't be there.
Where do you walk?

I am very lucky to live close by to some big beautiful rural walks and two big parks. Walks often end up being longer than 1 hour as we have too much fun exploring!
How do you transport the dogs to the walking location?

We have a fully kitted out van with six safe and secure compartments for the dogs to enjoy a comfortable and safe ride!
I only require occasional walks, can you help?

We prefer to take on regular slots to ensure we can always fit you in! but please get in touch for availability, if we can help, we will!
Do you offer block booking discount?

Who doesn't love a discount!? I sure do! If you pay up-front for 10 walks - we'll give you 10% off the total!
My dog is quite nervous, can you walk him/her?

Of course, my oldest dog Blue is a nervous sole. It might be that they are better suited to a solo walk or a walk with one other calm dog. We can discuss your dog's specific requirements and ensure that I am offering the best service to suit their needs.
My dog doesn't get along with other dogs, can you walk him/her?

That's ok! We can look to book solo sessions and I can be mindful of planning slightly quieter routes, where we are less likely to bump into lots of passing dogs to ensure that your dog has the most enjoyable walk for him/her.
Do you offer boarding?

We offer a total 1-1 pet sitting experience in our home. We only take one dog at a time, your dog will enjoy coming to work with me in the day (walking) and then lots of family time in the evening
Will you stay overnight at our house whilst we are away to look after our pets?

Of course! I can look after your pets and your home. Please get in touch to discuss requirements. Lauren@dogclubderby.co.uk
We have a new puppy and we both work full time, can you help!?

Sure thing! Puppies usually have to go out around every 2-3 hours, so if you are out all evening, or working 8-5, regular check ins are a good idea! Having a dog walker for your puppy can be very beneficial. Not only will it give you piece of mind whilst you're out of the house, I can also introduce them to other dogs once they are fully up to date with vaccinations.
We are worried about leaving our dog alone in the house after returning to work, what would you recommend?

As a dog mum of 3 myself, I totally understand how hard it is to leave your fur babies when you have commitments. I can give you some piece of mind by checking in on them and ensuring they have a long walk. A typical package would look like: AM pop in and 20-minute cuddle, toilet break and play, lunch time long walk either solo or in a group, evening pop in for a 20-minute cuddle, toilet break and play.
What does this service cover?

Please get in touch with me at Lauren@dogclubderby.co.uk to discuss a bespoke requirement. A package can be quite varied and designed around your day. I can look after them during the ceremony, take them for a local walk and then bring them along for the key photo opportunities or accompany them during the whole event.
