Our first pass couldn’t check review counts for Swansea dog walkers, so we left them out. Google Maps fills that gap: four Swansea businesses have a listing, a website and at least 10 reviews, all rated 4.9 or 5.0 when we checked. We haven’t tested any of them, so treat this as a shortlist to meet.

Google ratings come from the public and we haven’t checked them independently.
Other listings we left out
Muddy Paws Pet Services (4.6 from 42 reviews) and Tinas Tails and Trails (5.0 from 62, listed as a dog boarder) have plenty of reviews but no website on Google, so they miss our bar; they may still be good, so check them yourself. Oak Tree Pet Care Services (5.0 from 35, with a website) is listed as boarding, and boarding is a licensed activity, so ask to see its council licence. Many other Swansea walkers have only a few reviews, and we haven’t named them.
What to ask before you book
We found no Swansea Council walker licence or dog-number limit, which isn’t proof there isn’t one. Ask to see proof of public liability insurance, whether the walker is DBS checked, and what first-aid training they hold. Ask how many dogs they walk at once, where they walk, and whether your dog travels in a vehicle. A meet-and-greet with your dog is worth the time. Beach rules matter here, so see our Swansea dog walks guide.
A new walker can be a big change for a sensitive dog. A calming bite may help take the edge off, and if your dog is anxious about being handed over, speak to your vet or a qualified trainer. For more, see our Swansea dog services hub.
Beyond the walk itself, you may want ideas for the rest of the day. Our dog-friendly pubs, cafés and restaurants in Swansea are handy after a Gower walk, and our dog-friendly accommodation in Swansea helps if you’re planning a longer trip.
Frequently Asked Questions
How did you choose these Swansea dog walkers?

Do dog walkers need a licence in Swansea?
We found no licence scheme for walking alone. Boarding is a licensed activity, so ask to see the licence if a walker also offers it.
What should I ask a dog walker before booking?
Ask about insurance, DBS checks, first-aid training, how many dogs they walk at once and whether dogs travel in a vehicle.
