# Business Description
Walkies and Whiskers is a solo dog walking and pet care service operating across Rainworth, Mansfield and surrounding villages including Blidworth, Ravenshead and Farnsfield. Founded by Gemma, the business specialises in one-to-one walks tailored entirely to individual dogs' needs, rejecting the group pack walk model entirely.
The service caters specifically to dogs that struggle in group settings — large breeds, reactive dogs, anxious pets and senior dogs requiring gentler paces. Gemma's approach centres on understanding each dog's personality and providing walks built around their specific requirements, whether that's patience, space or calm companionship.
What sets Walkies and Whiskers apart is the combination of genuine expertise and personal commitment. Gemma holds certifications in dog CPR, first aid, animal psychology and pet behaviour, alongside full insurance and DBS clearance. She prioritises using cars rather than vans for sensitive dogs, and provides photo updates following every visit.
The business emphasises reliability, active engagement and trustworthiness. Rather than rushing through multiple dogs simultaneously, the solo walking model ensures each dog receives undivided attention, steady energy and enrichment tailored to their individual temperament. This bespoke philosophy extends to all pets, not just dogs.
For pet owners seeking a dog walker who genuinely understands reactive, anxious, large or elderly dogs — and who won't compromise on care quality — Walkies and Whiskers offers a distinctly personal alternative to conventional dog walking services.
