Dog Walking Services in Barton-under-Needwood

For reliable pet care services


Looking for a reliable dog walker in Barton under Needwood, Staffordshire, or a nearby area such as Yoxall, Tatenhill or Branston? Victoria offers a fully insured, DBS-checked and canine first aid trained dog walking service. Every walk is GPS tracked, with a detailed report and photos provided each time. 🐾
Your dog will receive a calm, focused GPS tracked walk tailored to their pace and personality. Walks are taken directly from your home, ensuring your dog enjoys the full time outside with no travel deducted. This service is perfect for dogs who benefit from dedicated one-to-one attention, prefer quieter, calmer walks, need confidence-building outings, are reactive, or simply enjoy local sniffing adventures at their own pace. Walks will be on lead until an assessment has taken place.
Before dog walking services begin, Victoria will arrange a home visit to meet you and your dog. During this initial consultation, she will discuss your specific requirements and gather important information about your dog’s health, routine, preferences and behavioural traits. All necessary paperwork, including Terms & Conditions, will be completed to ensure a smooth and professional start to her pet care services, and your first walk will be scheduled.
Solo walks are tailored to each dog, with no other dogs joining from outside the household unless agreed in advance. An additional £5 may apply for every extra dog from the same home. Victoria will provide a detailed walk report and photos after every visit, ensuring owners are fully updated on their dog’s adventures. This service is available in Barton under Needwood, East Staffordshire, Burton upon Trent, and across parts of Derbyshire 🐾
Depending on your dog’s pace, up to three miles can be covered during a 60-minute walk — perfect for burning off energy and keeping your canine companion happy and healthy. A live GPS tracker via the app allows owners to view the route in real time, offering complete peace of mind.
Comforting visits and friendly check-ins are an important part of Jolly Dog Walks’ pet care services. Whether you are looking for regular or ad hoc care for your dog or cat in Yoxall, Barton under Needwood, Staffordshire or a nearby area within a 20-minute travel radius, Victoria welcomes the opportunity to discuss your individual requirements and provide the right support for your pet.
Victoria will visit your home to discuss your pet care needs and ensure the best possible service for your pet. During this visit, all necessary paperwork, including Terms & Conditions, will be completed. You will also receive access to an app where she can send notifications and care reports, as well as allowing you to book and view upcoming appointments.
This service can be provided across Barton under Needwood, Burton upon Trent, and throughout Derbyshire and Staffordshire.
These 15–30 minute visits (depending on your preference) are ideal for dogs and cats who don’t require a walk but would benefit from a caring check-in and some company during the day. Each visit helps keep pets comfortable, calm and settled, and can include a garden toilet break, fresh water and feeding, playtime and fuss, and medication if required.

Victoria provides 15–30 minute pet care visits designed to keep cats happy and comfortable in their own home whilst you’re away. Visits can include feeding and fresh water, litter tray cleaning, companionship and fuss, basic home security checks, adjusting curtains or lights, putting out bins, and watering plants.
This 20-minute gentle, reassuring visit is designed to support your puppy’s early development. Visits can include toilet breaks, accident clean-up, playtime, enrichment, socialisation, feeding, fresh water, comfort and cuddles, along with reinforcing basic routines such as sit, wait and toileting.
Once fully vaccinated, Victoria can begin short walks, gradually building confidence and positive experiences outdoors.
These visits, typically lasting around 20 minutes, are specifically for the collection and bagging of dog waste from patios and lawns. All waste will be securely bagged and left on site for the owner to dispose of. This service does not include patio or surface cleaning. Additional time may be required for larger gardens.

Local walks bring big smiles!!

Hello! My name is Victoria and I’m the heart behind Jolly Dog Walks – a lifelong dog lover, experienced dog walker, and former nurse with 27 years of caring for others. After decades in a profession built on trust, compassion, and responsibility, I now bring those same values to the dogs, cats and families I support every day in Burton upon Trent and the surrounding areas.
Dogs have always been a central part of my life. I’ve lived with them for as long as I can remember and spent valuable time working in a boarding kennel, giving me hands-on experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. Today, I share my home with two much-loved companions: a gentle greyhound and a lively schnoodle who keep me smiling and constantly inspired.
As a NARPS UK Member (National Association of Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers), I’m proud to offer a professional, trustworthy, and fully insured service. Your pets safety and wellbeing are always my priority. For your peace of mind, I am DBS checked too. I’m also currently working towards my OFQUAL Level 3 Qualification in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare, and I regularly update my skills through specialist courses, including Canine Health & First Aid, Care of the Young Dog, Canine Heart Disease, and the Care of Active Dogs.
Based in Barton-under-Needwood, Staffordshire, I’m proud to serve my local community, including Yoxall, Alrewas, Branston, Fradley and all nearby villages within an eight-mile radius.
I provide:
• Solo walks (or can walk multiple dogs from the same household)
• Pet care services tailored to your dog or cat's individual needs
Every dog and cat I meet is treated with the same warmth, patience, and respect I give my own pets. Whether your companion needs a gentle stroll, energetic outing, or simply a comforting visit, you can feel confident they’ll be in caring, capable hands.
At Jolly Dog Walks, your pet's joy truly is at the heart of everything I do. Walking from your home, you can be sure of local walks and big smiles 🐾
