more than just a walk

All dogs need more than just physical exercise. They also have emotional, mental and behavioural needs. Embark prioritises these factors in the way I walk, handle and care for your dog to ensure your dog is exercised, enriched and socialised.

Whether you need a regular weekly slot or an ad-hoc walk while you're at work, I'm here to help. Learn more on my services page, read what clients say in my reviews, or browse the FAQ if you have questions.

I operate within a 3 mile radius of TN1, Royal Tunbridge Wells, including Southborough, Rusthall, Langton Green, Hawkenbury, Pembury and High Brooms.

client reviews

  • “Our lively cockapoo, Bigsy, absolutely loves his walks with Joe and always comes back happy and tired. When I was pregnant with my son our dog became very sensitive and didn't want to leave the house without me. Joe was fantastic with Bigsy during this time. He was patient and really understood Bigsy's needs and behaviour. We've found Joe reliable and would highly recommend Embark Dog walking.”

  • “Joe and his team at Embark Dog Walking have been walking my Cockapoo for over a year now and have been brilliant. They clearly love dogs and my dog is always delighted to see them and go on her walks. They are always reliable and are great at cleaning and drying my dog the best they can before she comes home. They walk in a variety of different places and I love getting my texts at work after every walk telling me where they've been and what my dog has been up to. I would highly recommend them.”

  • “Joe and his team are all absolutely fabulous at taking care of our furry friends! When completing a home visit, they are thorough and accommodating to your needs. I never have a problem getting in touch with Joe and response time is very efficient. We LOVE receiving the feedback emails following each walk and the occasional photo just goes to prove what a fun time the dogs and staff have together. Walks are varied and it is a great opportunity for your dog to socialise in a well managed group. Would highly recommend : )”

  • “Embark dog walking are absolutely fantastic. My dog Jessie is a huge part of our family and for us to be at work knowing that she's having a lovely time and not having to worry is brilliant. Jessie absolutely loves her walks with the team and I fully trust them looking after her.”

  • “We love having Embark to walk our dog Reggie and so does he! They are reliable, trustworthy and great to communicate with. We especially look forward to receiving the feedback email letting us know how he got on during his walk. We feel completely at ease when Reggie is with one of the team as they are clearly professionals who know their doggie stuff and really care about the dogs too.”

How It Works

  1. Joe crouching on a woodland path, stroking a black greyhound

    Pick-up from your door

    I collect your dog from home within my 3 mile radius of TN1. No hassle for you, just a friendly face at the door. I can also keep a key and let myself in if you're not in.

  2. Dogs trotting along a narrow path through bright green ferns

    1 hour+ woodland group walk

    Group walks are limited to a maximum of six dogs. Every dog has a trial period to ensure they're the right fit for an Embark walk. Hand picked groups mean safer walks, managed in a responsible way in an appropriate environment. Dogs who are well socialised with matched temperaments and good recall create a happy walk with no stress. How every dog walk should be!

  3. Four dogs running across an open grassy clearing beside a forest

    home time!

    I drop off your happy dog back at home. Your dog will arrive home tired, happy and ready for a nap. I wipe muddy paws and send you updates along the way.
