These are the problems we hear from dog walkers in Kettering every single week. If any of these hit home, we can help.
Not showing up in local dog walking searches
Owners search nearby and pick from top results. If you're not there, they don't know you exist.
Clients love you but haven't left reviews
You have 4 reviews while a competitor has 35. New owners pick the one that looks like the safer bet.
No way to show you're insured and DBS checked
Owners want proof their pet is safe. If your credentials aren't visible online, they choose someone else.
Your experience doesn't show online
You've been walking dogs for years, but your online presence looks like you started yesterday. Reviews and a proper website change that.
