# Heather's Walkies: Professional Dog Walking in Bolton
Heather's Walkies is a professional dog walking and home boarding service operating in Blackrod and Horwich, serving local dog owners who demand ethical, experienced care. The business specialises in smaller dogs, providing a less intimidating alternative to large group walks where sensitive or anxious dogs might struggle.
What genuinely sets this service apart is the commitment to professional standards and animal welfare. Heather maintains full insurance, Enhanced DBS clearance, and holds multiple professional qualifications including first aid training for dogs and cats. The operation adheres strictly to RSPCA guidelines with no more than four dogs per group, ensuring quality interaction and individual attention. Every walk is underpinned by force-free, compassionate methodology and animal-centred approach, avoiding aversive training methods.
The business holds a 5-star Bolton Council license (reference 138514) and membership across several professional organisations including the Modern Dog Walkers Association, Professional Dog Walkers Association, and Association of Dog Boarders. Additional credentials include membership with the International Institute for Canine Ethics, reflecting commitment to ongoing professional development.
Service delivery includes detailed walk reports with GPS maps, photographs from each outing, and secure online booking with automated payments. Essential safety equipment, including first aid kits and crash-tested boot crates for car travel, is carried on every outing. This combination of professional credentials, ethical practice, and personalised service creates a trustworthy option for Bolton dog owners seeking more than routine exercise.
