# Walkies NI: Dog Walking & Socialisation Services
Walkies NI is a dog walking service based in Newtownards, serving the greater Belfast area including Dundonald and surrounding regions. With over a decade of experience, they specialise in group walks designed to provide dogs with essential exercise, mental stimulation and socialisation opportunities.
The business caters to busy dog owners who struggle to provide adequate daily exercise and social interaction for their pets due to work commitments and lifestyle demands. They serve dogs of all ages, sizes and temperaments, though they maintain standards by excluding unneutered males over 12 months and aggressive dogs.
What sets Walkies NI apart is their philosophy that "a tired dog is a happy dog." Rather than offering one-size-fits-all walks, they carefully match compatible dogs together and vary locations—from forest adventures and park visits to secure enclosures and country treks. Every one-hour walk is tailored to individual dogs' needs, considering breed, age, health issues and temperament.
The team maintains close relationships with both dogs and owners, providing regular feedback and advice. All new clients undergo a meet-and-greet session where needs and expectations are discussed, ensuring compatibility and peace of mind. Their genuine passion for canine wellbeing and commitment to quality care—treating each dog as if it were their own—builds trust with owners and results in long-term client relationships.
