What we do

Care that fits around your life

Four services, all built on the same principle: your pet stays in their own routine, with people they know, doing what suits them rather than what suits a schedule.

Why a group walk

Dogs are better company for each other than we are.

A dog walked alone gets exercise. A dog walked with friends gets exercise, play, company and the kind of social practice that keeps them easy to live with. They read each other, they run properly rather than trotting to heel, and they come home tired in the way that only comes from a real adventure.

Your dog goes out with a group that suits them, on varied routes rather than the same street every day, with the same familiar faces — ours and theirs.

  • Sociable walks with dogs your dog actually knows
  • Varied routes and proper adventures, whatever the weather
  • A family-run team, so cover never falls through
  • Years of experience in training and breeding behind every walk
  • A photo and honest update after every single visit

  • Back from a lovely week in Cornwall safe in the knowledge that Jacqui Westbrook from Basingstoke K9 Companions was cherishing our pup Harvey. She even took him for his very first walk! We were sent pics and videos regularly for peace of mind and here are a few. Would definitely recommend 🦮🐶☺ Thank you x

  • We have been extremely happy with Jacqui and definitely recommend. It’s so reassuring to know that when we can’t take our dog out, she is safe and happy with Jacqui. It’s lovely to see little videos of her on her walks and we know she is having a lot of fun.

  • Jacqui! I cannot thank you enough for looking after our dear pup Bella at such short notice. Not even an hour after messaging you we had arranged a time to meet and discuss our needs for a sitter after being disappointed.... Right away we could see you were a trustworthy person and gained Bella’s affection too!!! John and I will be sure to get in touch should we require such services in the future, and will of course sing your praise if ever asked for recommendations :) All the best, Joan H xx

Good to know

Questions owners ask

If your question is not here, phone or send a booking request and ask — you will get a straight answer, not a sales pitch.

Do you walk dogs in a group?

Yes. Most dogs get far more out of a walk with company than a solitary lap of the block — they play, they socialise and they come home properly tired. Dogs are put with a group that suits them, and if yours is nervous, reactive or recovering from surgery, say so and we will talk honestly about whether a group is right for them.

Are you insured and DBS checked?

Yes to both. We are fully insured for pet care and hold a current DBS check. You are handing over your keys and your family pet, so you are entitled to see the paperwork — just ask and we will show you.

What happens before my first booking?

We come to your home for a free meet and greet. You show us where everything lives, we meet your dog on their own territory, and we build a care plan around your routine — feeding, medication, favourite routes, things to avoid. Nothing is booked or paid for until you are happy.

Which areas of Basingstoke do you cover?

We cover Basingstoke, Kempshott, Hatch Warren, Brighton Hill, Beggarwood, Winklebury, Worting, Rooksdown and the surrounding villages, roughly within 12km of Basingstoke town centre. If you are just outside that, ask anyway — we will tell you honestly whether we can get to you reliably.

Will my dog get on with the others?

That is exactly what the free meet and greet is for. We will be straight with you about whether a group walk suits your dog, and we would rather say no than put a dog somewhere they will not cope. Plenty of dogs who start out unsure end up with firm friends in the group.

What happens if my dog needs a vet while in your care?

We take your vet details at the meet and greet and keep written consent to seek treatment. If something happens we contact you first wherever possible, and if we cannot reach you we act in the best interest of your pet and get them treated immediately.

Do you walk in bad weather?

Yes. Rain, wind and cold are all fine — your dog still needs the exercise, and they come home towelled off. The only exceptions are conditions that are genuinely unsafe, such as severe heat, ice or storm warnings, when we swap the walk for indoor enrichment and let you know.

How do I pay and do you take a deposit?

Send a booking request through the site and we will confirm availability, then invoice you directly. For house sitting and longer bookings we ask for a deposit to secure the dates. Card payments through the website are coming soon.

Can you give medication?

Yes — tablets, topical treatments and injections including insulin. Tell us what is needed at the meet and greet and we will show you we can do it properly before you leave your pet with us.
