The 30 Best Dog walkers in Edinburgh

“Our dog Oryn has been going to Meadowhill for about 3 years now and absolutely loves it! He gets excited when the car turn the corner at the top of the road as he knows where he is going and can't wait to get out and run inside. They have an outdoor play area, a deck area and a cosy area inside, so the dogs have a great choice of what to do and a rest area when needed. The staff there are all very friendly, take great care of your dogs and they put regular posts on the Facebook page, so you can see what your dogs been up to. I would highly recommend Meadowhill.”

“An amazing service. I was very nervous leaving my cat while I went away but after I met Angela in the pre house visit I was put at ease. It is clear how much she loves animals and my usually timid cat went to her straight away...even climbed on her back. My cat was taking medication which was no problem for Angela and they sent me daily updates including pictures. I would not trust any other company to look after my girl! A***”

“Campbells Walkies are excellent and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Linda has been walking our dog Duke since he was 12 weeks old, just over a year now. She is 100% reliable, honest and trustworthy. Duke absolutely adores her and the group walks she takes him on. He comes home from his walks exhausted and happy. It's great having Linda as our dog walker and I particularly enjoy the pictures she sends every day of Duke on his walk and the text to let me know when he's home safe and sound.”

“My dog loves Alana more than me! On Alana Days she recognises the sound of her car and runs to the gate to wait for her. Over the last two years Alana has always looked after her and kept her safe even when she can be a little madam and goes walk-about. There are only a handful of people I would trust with my fur baby and Alana is one of them.”

“Steph has looked after our cat Bella a few times now, and she provides a fantastic service! She's really organised and thorough, and Bella clearly loves her visits - we also love looking out for the updates on social media while we're away! We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Pawsome Walkies ❤️”

“After attending and loving a GRC competition trial run by Linnea, I signed up for Walk and Train’s shadow programme — and I’m so glad I did! Between both Linnea and Gregor, they were full of knowledge and genuine love for the work they do. Throughout the programme, I got to discuss my future and how to get into the dog training world as well as observe a wide range of training sessions, from puppy development and obedience work to behaviour modification and GRC training. Each session offered something new to learn, and both Linnea and Gregor took the time to explain methods, reasoning, and the “why” behind every technique! What I loved was how calm, patient, consistent and fun they were with every dog and client. The ability to tailor their approach to each individual dog was brilliant and made me reflect on how I can apply the same adaptability in my own work. The experience was educational, motivating and so much fun — I came away with a deeper understanding of canine behaviour, training structure and the importance of clear communication between handler and their dog. I’d highly recommend this shadow programme to anyone looking to grow their knowledge, gain hands-on experience, or simply spend time learning from passionate, and skilled trainers! I can’t wait to continue developing my training journey with everything I took away from this experience ❤️”

“After alot of thought and hesitation. We took the plunge and contacted Kristie. So helpful, so understanding of our circumstances. Now our wee timid 'Fergus' cannot wait for his walkers Susan & Emma. He sits at the window waiting for the car and off he goes. Best decision we have made. We get regular updates on what the wee one has been up to, together with pictures. Cannot recommend enough!!!!”

“Jess and Aimee were absolutely fantastic with our little chaotic border collie during the puppy classes. We would recommend these classes to anyone. They were always willing to answer any questions we had and made the process fun and engaging, which it should be. We will definitely be back for the adolescence classes. Sorry in advance for the barking!”

“Absolutely love this dog park, is our favourite dog park in the area. Is always clean, lots of space with different areas for dogs to investigate and love the forest area too. My dogs face in the pictures says it all, he loves coming here. Thanks to the owners for hiring out the space :-)”

“Omg what can I say. I took my wee Princess here today for a full groom for the first time. Will was amazing with her as she has always been nervous about getting a groom. We had a good chat while he let her roam about for a bit so she could have a good sniff and feel relaxed rather than just starting straight away which I thought was lovely. He really does have a caring nature for dogs. The cut itself is absolutely perfect, smooth and on point no scissor marks in sight! One happy pooch and one happy owner. We have found our forever groomer. Thank you so much Will x”

“Mark and the team are an amazing dog walking / socialisation group. My dog knows exactly when he is getting picked up and is very excited to go, they take amazing care of my doggy and he always comes back shattered as he has had a wonderful time. Even in bad weather Mark and the team are there on time and even ensure Milo is clean on his return. No ask is too much, they are reliable, friendly, supportive and very very protective of all the dogs. You can even see yourself through their facebook pages how much fun your dog has on every walk. I would HIGHLY recommend Mark and the team 100%, your pet is another member of your family and Mark and the team know this and treat your pets as they would a family member of their own. Thank you Mark!”

“Barklay Park Dog Daycare is an absolute gem. My dog Benny absolutely loves it there - he has the best time every single visit and comes home happy and tired from all the fun. The staff are incredible; so friendly, caring, and always go above and beyond to help. It's clear they genuinely love what they do, and Benny clearly feels that too. The location is brilliant, and really easy to get to, which makes everything that bit smoother. I honestly couldn't recommend it more - it's the perfect place if you want your dog to be safe and loved, and have a ball while you're away.”

“I take my cocker spaniel here he is very old and just a new family pet and Lee and her staff are fantastic he just loves coming ❤️”

“Christine is a trustworthy and extremely reliable lady. Our dog absolutely adores her. Christine keeps me up to date on his progress, and sometimes sends photos of their walks. She keeps him calm, as he is still a puppy. She offers sound advice if I have puppy questions. I would highly recommend Christine.”

“Louise and Louise have gone above and beyond to deliver a fantastic service, they are reliable, flexible, and deeply committed to looking after dogs. I couldn't ask for a better walking service and cannot recommend them enough. Thank you CDW!”

“Lynne was very kind to accomodate our greyhound Piper at very short notice and he's had many subsequent visits to her since. She does a phenomenal job and he's always so happy to be there. Lynne herself owns a couple of greyhounds which is fantastic for greyhounds who are maybe not so comfortable around other dogs.”

“Nicola has been walking our dogs three days a week for over a year now. She is reliable and really accommodating. She takes wonderful care of the dogs and gives us regular updates and photos!”

“The best, most caring dog walker. Our dog has the time of his life and is so excited when Jennie arrives. She takes a genuine interest in his welfare and he comes home exhausted and happy.”

“Excellent company. Would not use anybody else.”

“Lucy has been walking my pup since 2022 and my pup adores her. She truly cares for the dogs and provides GPS trackers for them too. Lucy is very easy to talk to and reach and is always professional and friendly. I definitely recommend her.”

“Laura started walking our dog last year as we wanted to get him more socialised. He was nervous at first but now absolutely loves his walks and is so excited when she arrives. Laura is professional, kind and genuinely loves her job and the animals she cares for. Wouln’t trust anyone else to walk our dog!”

“Could not praise Tails and Trails enough! I always receive an amazing service and am continuing to see massive improvements for my pup. Along with myself my pup absolutely loves going to Tails and Trails. I know he is extremely cared for when with Tails and Trails. Extremely friendly and loving service, it's like being part of a family, definitely home from home. Highly recommend Tails and Trails to everyone.”

“These guys are a breath of fresh air. The pet is the centre of everything they do and you feel safe leaving your pets in their capable hands. Would recommend Karen to anyone! 5*”

“Looked after my puppy. Highly recommended these guys for your dog walking needs.”

“When our previous dog walker Anneka announced she was retiring we were really concerned we could find a dog walker as good as her. Thankfully she recommended Blue Lead. We have been delighted by the service we have received and more importantly our dog Penny has loved Blue Lead's Fraser and Vicky. We have found Blue Lead to be everything we could have wanted: caring, friendly and reliable. We know for many people your dog is like one of the family, therefore you want the best and I think you will find it in Blue Lead.”

“Ally has been our walker for more than a month now and has been great. Our dog can be weary of people, especially men, but she loved Ally straight away and he definitely knows how to approach different dogs with various needs. He is also very flexible to the needs of a dog and their owner and always sends us the best photos. Great service all around!”

“Raymond was our dog walker for 4 years before we moved and we couldn’t recommend him highly enough. He goes above and beyond, is extremely reliable, and most importantly he cares for and spoils the dogs like they’re his own. He will send pick up and drop off messages and post photos of the walks. I’ve met Raymond while walking my dog and Cooper then doesn’t want to stay with me, he wants to go with Raymond which I think says it all! Would highly recommend Spoilt Paws, Raymond is the best!”

“Best dog walker in East Lothian great with my dogsJoanne goes above and beyond call of duty to ensure the dogs are having awesome fun and long walks”

“Jasper has been with pawdlers for around 3/4 months now. He never used to like being sent out with his dog walker but since moving him to pawdlers he sprints out the door excited to see Lauren every time and stays at the door for cuddles with her when she drops him off! They take the dogs for beautiful long walks in the pentlands and provide fresh home made treats! I get to see snippets on social media which show them being given enriching games with treats as they walk with all the dogs playing really nicely and with good manners...and jasper always comes home squeaky clean even when I see him on Instagram having jumped in a big bog! (Which is most walks...he's a grub!) I wouldn't want to put him with anyone else. They really are the best!”
