About
I'm Lily, owner of Salty Paws and Labrador Mum!
My love for animals began in childhood, and I've always felt such a strong connection towards them.
After initially training as a Canine Hydrotherapist, my passion for Animal Welfare led me to study Canine Care, Canine Behaviour and Canine Welfare.
I started Salty Paws as a way to give back to animals, and combine my love of dog care with being outdoors in nature.
I am also qualified in Canine First Aid, am fully insured, and DBS checked, so you can rest assured that your dog is in safe hands.

Services
I believe in quality over quantity when it comes to dog walking, so I only walk one to three dogs at a time. No pack walking - this way I am able to give my focused attention to the dogs in my care, ensuring their safety and enrichment comes first.
As a Canine Hydrotherapist I understand canine health conditions, and that the requirements of each dog can vary, which is why I offer personalised solo walks to suit each dogs individual needs. This also allows me to carry on any positive reinforcement training you may be working on with them, to help support their learning and development.
Personalised Solo Walk - 1 hour
Solo walks are ideal for:
- Dogs with health conditions
- Anxious dogs
- Dogs with behaviour issues
- Dogs that don't get on well with other dogs
- Dogs that prefer a quieter walk with individual attention
- Younger dogs still in training
I will work with you to personalise their walk to suit their needs.
Personalised Solo Walk - 30 minutes
Shorter walks are ideal for:
- Older dogs who require some gentle exercise to sniff and stretch their legs
- Dogs with Arthritis
- Dogs recovering from illness or injury
- Younger puppies who require shorter walks while their bones are still growing
I will work with you to personalise their walk to suit their needs.
Small Group Walk - 1 hour
I offer very small group walks with carefully matched pairs, or threes where suitable.
Small group walks are ideal for:
- Dogs who like to socialise without the overarousal of large packs
- Dogs who prefer a calmer environment of a smaller group
- Dogs who will benefit from a combination of balanced play, socialisation, and enrichment
I walk no more than 3 dogs at a time to ensure increased safety and supervision.
Additional Dog - Same Household
- For additional dogs from the same household
- Pay full price for one dog and a small fee for each additional dog
- Maximum of 3 dogs
Morning, lunchtime or afternoon walks are available.
I can walk your dog daily, weekly, on a regular or occasional basis, or if you are simply out for the day.
Dogs are only ever walked and cared for by me.
I will only ever use positive, reward-based training methods when interacting with your dog
Drop-in Welfare Visit
Drop-in welfare visits are ideal if you need someone to check on your dog during the day, giving you peace of mind, ensuring they get all the care and attention that they need while you are away from home.
Services include:
- Feeding
- Water change
- Letting out in the garden for a toilet break
- Administer medication if required
- Playtime and enrichment
Each visit is personalised to suit your dogs needs.
Free Meet & Greet
A relaxed, no obligation meeting, where I can get to know you and your dog/s and we can chat about their needs.
If we are a good fit, together we will fill out your dog information forms so that I have all the details I need to make sure I can provide the best possible care for them.
If you would like to we can head out for a short walk, this gives me the chance to observe your dog/s in a walking environment and go over any training commands you may have in place.
I look forward to meeting you and your dog!
Kindly note
Dogs must not eat at least 1 hour prior to taking part in a walking service
I am not a dog sitter, I'm unable to offer evenings and overnight stays.
I am happy to offer walks and drop-in welfare visits on weekends and bank holidays for an additional fee, please see Prices for details.
If you require a specific walk where there is a parking meter, it is the responsibility of the owner to pay for any parking fees.
I am happy to use your own lead if you prefer, however for safety reasons I am unable to use retractable leads.
It is the responsibility of the Owner to ensure that their dog is microchipped and wearing a collar with an ID tag.
Sorry I am unable to walk dogs with an aggressive nature.
Thank you ,
Lily
