Hello, I’m Michelle
The relationship matters as much as the walk.
Getting to know each dog is what makes this work so rewarding.
I started The Dog Walker Leicester in the summer of 2009, bringing together my love of animals and being outdoors. Many of the dogs I walk have been with me from puppyhood into later life.
That time together matters. I learn their personalities, recognise when they need a gentler pace and choose companions they can feel comfortable around. You know who is collecting your dog, and they know who is at the door.
Meet meHow it works
Safe, structured and easy to understand.

Collected securely
Dogs travel in an adapted, air-conditioned van with secure crates and anti-slip flooring.
02
Matched thoughtfully
Groups are kept small and chosen around temperament, confidence and energy level.

Walked properly
Full-length walks with exercise, sniffing, play, recall and positive reinforcement.
