About Walkies & Wags Dog Walking
Our Story
Five years ago, Jake Morrison left his role as a canine behaviourist assistant at a busy veterinary practice in Leeds with one goal: to create a dog walking service that puts safety and happiness first.
Having spent years studying canine behaviour and communication, Jake understood that not all dogs thrive in the same environment. Some love the energy of a group walk, while others need quiet, one-on-one attention. That understanding became the foundation of Walkies & Wags.
What started as a handful of morning walks around Headingley has grown into a trusted, fully insured, and DBS-checked service covering North Leeds. But the core values haven't changed — every walk is carefully planned, every pack is safety-checked, and every dog is treated like family.
Today, Walkies & Wags serves dozens of happy dogs and their owners across Headingley, Chapel Allerton, Roundhay, Meanwood, Kirkstall, and Horsforth. With GPS-tracked walks, photo updates, and detailed report cards after every outing, owners can relax knowing their dogs are in the best hands.
Our Pack Safety Approach
Every pack is checked for temperament, size, and energy compatibility before your dog joins.
Temperament Matching
We match dogs by personality — gentle dogs walk with gentle dogs, and confident dogs get the stimulation they need. No clashes, no stress.
Size Compatibility
Giant breeds and tiny dogs are never mixed unless both have gentle temperaments. Safety comes first in every pack.
Energy Balance
High-energy dogs get the exercise they crave, while calmer dogs enjoy a relaxed pace. Every pack is balanced for comfort.
