Kerry-Ann and Lawrence take great care of my cavapoo on his walks and have done for years. He's always happy to see them and keen to go on walks, either 1:1 or in a small group with other dogs he knows and gets along with. I love getting video and photo updates from his walks, too. Kerry-Ann and Lawrence provide a strong friendly service, always with clear communication and are able to accommodate my changing schedule if needed (thank you!). I love having such a reliable team who knows my dog well and looks after him with great care. More...

We have been delighted with Mindful Mutts. Our requirements for dog walking often change on a week by week basis and I have always been impressed that with very short notice our dog can be quickly accommodated. I can't recommend them highly enough! More...

My Dog Rosie has been walked by Kerry for over a year and she absolutely loves her. They are friendly, reliable, professional and super knowledgeable. I love the fact that they only take out small group walks and I feel like Rosie is always in safe hands. I would highly recommend them. More...

We’ve been so lucky to have Kerry and Lawrence looking after our teenage lab for almost a year now, and we honestly couldn’t recommend them more. Our boy absolutely loves them, they’re genuinely some of his favourite people! They always go above and beyond to make sure he’s happy, comfortable, and has everything he needs.They’re also incredibly accommodating, always doing their best to fit him in on different days and at different times when we’ve needed it, which has been such a huge help. They genuinely care about him and it gives us huge peace of mind knowing how well walked and looked after he is! More...

Kerry-Ann and Lawrence take such wonderful care of Mischief on her walks. Mischief is always so happy to see them and keen to go on her walks which is a recommendation of itself! We get video and photo updates on her walks. Kerry-Ann and Lawrence provide an excellent service with clear communication and are able to accommodate our changing schedules which we truly appreciate. We couldn't recommend a kinder or more reliable team for looking after our dog. More...

I’ve been with Mindful Mutt since my dog was a puppy, and I honestly can’t imagine using anyone else. Over the years, he’s done solo walks, paired walks, and group walks, and every experience has been fantastic. Watching Mindful Mutt grow over the past four years has been wonderful. They’ve become so much more than a dog walking service—they genuinely care about every dog as if they were their own. They really get to know each dog’s personality and make sure they’re getting the type of walk that suits them best.Knowing my dog is happy, safe, and so well cared for gives me complete peace of mind. It’s clear how much love, time, and thought goes into everything they do. I’m incredibly grateful for everything they’ve done for my dog, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mindful Mutt to anyone looking for exceptional care. More...

Pet Care
We’ve been using Mindful Mutts for a while now, and I really can’t rate them highly enough. I love the fact that my dog is taken for a walk from the house so he gets the full hour. Kerry is also very knowledgeable about dogs. He got a stick stuck in his mouth on a walk which is often something you would need to take a dog to the vets for and Kerry was able to remove it there and then. my wife who is a vet was very impressed. It’s also fair to say that the pooch loves her to pieces he is so excited when she comes to the door. They are also very flexible when it comes to booking in your dog. I tend to use them twice a week but I change the days every week and they are very happy to accommodate. All in all a brilliant service. More...

Kerry-Ann and Diane (Mindful Mutts) are amazing with our dog! We would highly recommend them.
Our dog is very nervous about new people coming into the home so we weren’t sure how he’d manage being collected by a dog walker.
Kerry-Ann and Diane were brilliant with him. They took the time to understand him, were so patient with him and very quickly built his confidence. Now our dog bursts with excitement and happiness every time they arrive to collect him for his walk. He has the best time and Kerry-Ann and Diane keep us updated with lovely photos.
Kerr-Ann and Diane clearly have great experience with dogs. They are so warm and affectionate, and also great at making sure our dog behaves safely and appropriately when out with them.
Booking and communication is very easy and we are so impressed by the quality, flexibility and reliability of the service.
We are delighted with Mindful Mutts! They are absolutely the highlight of our dog’s week! :)

Mindful Mutts have been supporting me with the training of me and my pup since he was 4 months old. The support and guidance has been fantastic. Knowledgeable and gentle in their approach. No question is a stupid question, reassurance and confidence boosting when challenges arise. Just brilliant. More...

Dog Walking
Kerry-Ann walked my puppy, Ginny while I was away for 4 days. The puppy stayed with mum and it was a big help knowing Ginny was getting a lovely long walk each morning, saving my mother from doing this. Kerry-Ann came to my house to meet Ginny first and was very friendly and asked all about her. I received texts to say how the walk had gone and got a lovely photo of Ginny enjoying her walk by the river. Would definitely use Kerry-Ann’s services again. More...
What do you love most about your job?
Dogs! What's not to love? Seriously, they are all so different and unique, I love getting to know them and all their funny little quirks. Because we offer mainly solo walks we attract some challenging dogs, rescues and generally anxious dogs and I love working with them and gaining their trust.
What inspired you to start your own business?
To be honest the pandemic changed things, I had always had and loved dogs but I had some downtime in lockdown and started studying all things canine (as well as gaining a puppy) and decided to go for it!
Why should our clients choose you?
My clients will testify that I definitely go the extra mile for their dogs. I offer a flexible service with no charge for cancellations up to 6pm the evening before. I work slowly with anxious dogs at their own pace if need be, I help with training for puppies, I have accompanied client's dogs to the vet when their owner has been unable to. I don't bundle 8 dogs into the back of a van off to a field somewhere, I give them the attention they deserve. Most of our walk are solo walks, where dogs can be walked together we would never walk more than 3 per dog walker.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I rarely come into contact with human customers but always sanitise hands before entering a client's home.
Dog Walking
No two dogs are the same — which is why Mindful Mutts offers solos, pairs and small group walks. Each dog is matched based on temperament, pace and social comfort to ensure relaxed, enjoyable outings. Whether your dog needs focused one to one attention or thrives in a small, friendly group, their walk is designed around them.
Puppy Training
Mindful Mutts provides accredited 1 to 1 puppy training, specifically focusing on recall, loose lead walking and focus on handler in real world environments. These sessions help young dogs build confidence, good habits and calm behaviour — ideal for new owners or anyone wanting support during those early months.
