About
Destination Walkies provides a premium, structured alternative to traditional dog walking. We offer exclusive half-day off-lead adventures in private, secure countryside fields, ensuring every dog enjoys freedom in a safe and controlled environment. Our membership model focuses on consistent social groups, where dogs are matched by temperament to foster confidence and positive behaviours. Led by an expert with 16 years of experience, a BSc in Animal Science, and IMDT certification, our service is grounded in professional canine behaviour knowledge. We are fully insured, DBS checked, and canine first aid certified, prioritising quality care over high-volume walking. We offer limited memberships for owners who value safety, routine, and enriching outdoor experiences for their pets.
Meet Your New Dog Walker...
Hey! My name is Curt! I have worked in the Animal Care & Management industry for over 16 years in a variety of settings including kennels, rescues, farms and zoos. My main passion has always been dogs, so much so I own 8 terriers of my own. There is nothing I love more than watching my own dogs run free in my own private fields, living their best life! So many dogs unfortunately don't get this opportunity enough, so this is why I've decided to start Destination Walkies, to let dogs have this opportunity as part of their regular care; as off-lead exercise has SO many benefits!

With over 16 years of animal industry expertise and qualifications in Animal Management,Â
I bring professional care and deep behavioural knowledge to every walk.
