4 Paw Friend walks dogs across Vauxhall and Albert Embankment. We collect your dog from home, take them out for a proper walk, and bring them back the same day.
We are just up the road
Our team is based in SW9, a few minutes from Vauxhall. That matters more than it sounds: short collection runs mean less time in the van for your dog, and it makes us more useful when something changes at short notice.
Albert Embankment
Albert Embankment is a riverside strip of offices and apartment blocks where a lot of dogs live several floors up with no outdoor space of their own. We collect from the residential buildings along the Embankment and take dogs somewhere they can actually run.
If your building has its own entry arrangements, tell us at the meet and greet and we will work with what is already in place.
How collection works
Every service is door to door. A walker comes to you, collects your dog and transports them to the walk, then brings them home. You do not need to be in – many Vauxhall clients leave a key with us, and we are fully insured for key holding.
Where your dog is walked
Vauxhall sits inside Lambeth, and Lambeth parks are where we hold a professional dog walking licence. That licence permits off-lead walking, with a maximum of six dogs off lead at any one time.
Whether your own dog goes off lead depends on their recall and how they are around other dogs. We agree it with you rather than decide it for you.
Group walks or solo walks?
Group walks suit sociable dogs. Solo walks suit dogs who are nervous, reactive, elderly, recovering, or simply happier on their own. Every dog has a meet and greet before joining a group, and if a group is not right for yours we will say so.
Puppies and nervous dogs
For puppies not yet ready for a full walk, home visits cover feeding, toilet breaks, company and check-ins. Nervous and reactive dogs start solo.
What you get after every walk
Every walk is GPS tracked, and you get photos from every single walk. Photos stay available for 14 days so you can download any you want to keep.
Insured, DBS checked and permitted
