What we do

✓One to one walks, never a group. Your dog goes out with us on their own, or with their own housemates, and nobody else's dogs.
✓Puppy visits and daytime drop ins. A comfort break, a feed, a bit of company and a play while you are at work.
✓Pet sitting in your own home, day or overnight, so nothing about your pet's routine has to change while you are away.
✓Cat sitting, usually a couple of visits a day, in the house they already know.
✓Small animals too. Rabbits, guinea pigs, birds and the rest are all welcome.
✓Photo updates on WhatsApp, every time, so you can see how they are getting on while you are away from them.

Where we cover

Langley Mill, Heanor and Eastwood, and the villages around them.

Further out than three miles from Langley Mill, there is a £1 surcharge per mile, or part of a mile, to cover the travelling. The 11am to 2pm slots are kept for bookings inside that three mile radius, because they are the ones we can reach and still be back.

Not sure whether that reaches you? Ask anyway. If we cannot get to you we will say so straight away.

What it costs

Clear, honest pricing for happy pets and happy owners.

Dog walking

30 minute walk£8

60 minute walk£15

Each extra pet, beyond the two included+£4

Always one to one: your dog goes out with us on their own or with their own housemates, never with another household's dogs. Up to two pets from the same household are included in a walk, and each one after that is £4. A third dog is only possible where all three are genuinely easy in company, and we would rather say so honestly at the meet and greet than find out on a pavement.

Would you rather two dogs went out separately? They can have a 30 minute walk each, back to back on the same visit, for £15 in total. Two separate visits in a day, morning and afternoon say, are £8 each.

Puppy visits and drop ins

30 minute visit£8

Each extra pet, beyond the two included+£2

A visit is up to half an hour and covers up to two pets from the same household. Two visits a day is the usual pattern, which comes to £16.

Pet sitting, at your home

Overnight stay, 6pm to 6am£25

Daytime visit, per 30 minutes£8

Each extra pet on a visit, beyond the two included+£2

An overnight covers a toilet break and a short evening walk. Any daytime visits on top of that are charged at the half hourly rate.

Cat sitting

Per visit, up to two cats£7.50

Each extra cat, beyond the two included+£2

A visit is up to half an hour. Usually two visits a day, which comes to £15 for two cats, and £4 a day for each cat beyond the second.

Other pets

Per visit, typicallyfrom £8

It depends on the pet and the care they need, so tell us about them and we will give you a price.

Watch the walk as it happens

When we head out with your dog, you get a link. Tap it and you can watch them moving on the map, live, with how long they have been out and how far they have gone. When the walk finishes it becomes a replay you can watch back, so you can follow every towpath and lane they sniffed their way along.

We built it ourselves, from scratch, for our own clients. It is not an app we signed up to. There is nothing for you to download and nothing to sign up for: you just tap the link.

Your doorstep is never shown. The start and end of every route are hidden automatically, every single time.

Every hour earns a stamp

We run a loyalty card, and it costs you nothing to be on it. Every hour of walking or sitting earns a stamp, so a half hour walk earns half a stamp and two half hour visits in a day make one between them.

20 stamps gets you an hour free. It comes off your invoice automatically, so there is nothing to claim and nothing to remember. No card to carry and nothing to sign up to.

Leaving us a review on Google or Facebook is worth 2 bonus stamps on top.

Once you are a client you get your own account at loyalty.beardedbuddy.com, with your upcoming walks and visits, your invoices and your card. Sign in with your mobile number and one of your pets' names, from the day after your first booking.

What happens next

You fill in the form below. It takes about a minute, and whatever you do not know yet can wait.
We get back to you, usually the same day, by whichever way suits you best.
A free meet and greet at your home, so we can say hello to your pets and you can ask us anything at all. There is no obligation to book.
If it feels right, we get you booked in and sort out the paperwork then.
