Wrexham has more dog walkers than our first pass suggested. Four independent walkers have a Google Maps listing, their own website and at least 10 reviews, all rated 5.0 when we checked. We haven’t tested any of them, so treat this as a shortlist to meet, not a guarantee.

Two more list a website but have fewer than 10 reviews, so we’re not putting them in the main list yet: Glyn alyn pet services (4.6 from 9 reviews) and WonderPaws Walkies (High Street, 5.0 from 8). Other Wrexham walkers show only a phone number and one to four reviews, and we’ve left them out. Wuff Wuff Doggy Daycare (4.8 from 19 reviews) offers daycare rather than walking, and daycare needs a council licence, so ask to see it. One Rover walker showed 77 reviews on the search page, which would clear our 50-review bar for marketplace walkers, but we couldn’t open the profile, so check Rover yourself. Google ratings come from the public and we haven’t checked them independently.
Rules and licensing
We found no council scheme that licenses or registers dog walkers in Wrexham. Wrexham County Borough Council’s dog control order, in force from 1 October 2026, sets no limit on the number of dogs, though it requires leads in certain zones (see our dog walks in Wrexham guide). The council’s licensing page says boarding kennels and catteries, including home boarding, need a licence, but it doesn’t mention walking. A news report from December 2023 said the Welsh Government was consulting on bringing dog walking into animal licensing, and we couldn’t confirm any later progress. We found no commercial walker permit information for Erddig or Chirk Castle, so ask the properties.
What to ask before you book
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. Walkers who also offer home boarding or day care should hold a licence, and you can ask to see it. We also excluded a Cheshire-based walker who advertises a Wrexham radius, and walkers listed on Chester and Wirral platforms.
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 Wrexham dog services hub, which links our Wrexham dog sitters and trainers pages.
Once you’ve met a walker you like, it’s worth thinking about the rest of your dog’s week. Our secure dog fields in Wrexham are there for off-lead runs, and our dog-friendly pubs, cafés and restaurants in Wrexham suit a rest stop afterwards.
