When you love your dog but can’t always be there for every walk, finding the right help matters. Whether you work shifts, have a full day of errands or simply need support, a good dog walker gives your dog the care, exercise and stimulation they deserve and gives you peace of mind.

But how do you know who to trust?

Here’s what every dog owner in Cleethorpes, Grimsby and across North East Lincolnshire should look for in a professional dog walking service.

🐶 TL;DR:

If you're looking for a trustworthy dog walker in Cleethorpes or Grimsby, here’s what to look for:

✔ Local knowledge of safe, fun walking routes

✔ Full insurance, DBS checks and first aid training

✔ Reliable routines and dog-specific care

✔ Glowing testimonials from local owners

✔ A friendly, professional service (like us at Salty Sea Dogs)

✅ Local knowledge matters

Not all dog walks are created equal. A local walker who actually knows the parks, coastal routes and dog-friendly spaces in Cleethorpes and Grimsby can give your dog a safer, more stimulating experience.

From early-morning beach runs to quieter country paths for older or nervous dogs, local know-how makes a big difference and it’s something we’re proud to bring at Salty Sea Dogs.

🐕‍🦺 Insurance, training and trust

Don’t be afraid to ask the big questions. A reliable dog walker should be:

Fully insured
DBS checked
Canine first aid trained
Able to handle group or solo walks with care and control

We tick all those boxes — and then some. Your dog is treated like one of our own, with structured walks, plenty of fresh air and a good towel-down afterwards.

🌊 Routine, stimulation and wellbeing

Dogs thrive on routine and sniff-based stimulation. A walk isn’t just exercise — it’s mental enrichment. The right dog walker will understand your dog’s needs and adjust the pace, environment and group dynamics to suit.

Got a puppy still learning? A rescue who’s nervous around traffic? An older dog who’s happier with a slow wander and a sit-down on a bench? We get it — and we’ve got you.
