Frequently asked questions
Straight answers about dog walking in Royal Tunbridge Wells. No jargon, no fuss.

How much does dog walking cost in Tunbridge Wells?
Regular bookings are £17 per walk (minimum one walk per week). Ad-hoc walks are £22 per walk. There is a £5 surcharge on bank holidays. See my full pricing for details.What happens on a group dog walk?
I pick your dog up from home, drive to a local woodland location, and walk with a carefully selected, limited group of well-matched dogs for a minimum of one hour off lead. Your dog is then dropped home clean and worn out. You'll get updates about how the walk went.How are walking groups put together?
Each group is carefully selected and limited to ensure the best possible walk, and the safety of all dogs. Temperaments are matched thoughtfully so every dog can enjoy a calm, well-supervised outing.How many dogs do you walk at once?
I am insured to walk a maximum of 6 dogs, but often the group is smaller. I tailor the size of the group depending on the personalities and temperaments of the dogs as well as my location.Do you offer pick-up and drop-off?
Yes. I collect and return your dog within a 3 mile radius of TN1, Royal Tunbridge Wells. That covers Southborough, Rusthall, Langton Green, Hawkenbury, Pembury, High Brooms and surrounding areas.What time slots are available?
I run three daily walk slots on weekdays: approximately 9am, 11am and 2pm. Most regular clients keep the same slot each week.Are your dog walkers insured and first aid trained?
Yes. All Embark walkers are fully insured and pet first aid qualified. Your dog's safety is non-negotiable.Does my dog need to be neutered?
Dogs over one year old must be neutered to join group walks. This helps keep the group calm and safe for everyone.Can my dog walk on the lead only?
All dogs on Embark group walks must be able to walk off lead with reliable recall. My woodland walks are off lead by design. It's a core part of what I offer.What socialisation level does my dog need?
All dogs must be well socialised and comfortable around other dogs. Not sure if your dog is ready? That's what the free consultation is for.Do you walk on bank holidays?
Yes, subject to availability. Bank holiday walks carry a £5 surcharge on top of the regular walk price.What is your cancellation policy?
I ask for at least 24 hours notice to cancel or reschedule a walk. Cancellations with less than 24 hours notice may still be charged. I know life happens, so just let me know as early as you can.How do I get started with Embark?
