Edinburgh Dog Walking

Dog Walkers in Edinburgh

Edinburgh is one of the UK's most walkable cities for dogs, with Holyrood Park, the Pentlands, Cramond Beach and the Meadows all within easy reach.

Local walkers offer a mix of solo walks, small group walks and lunchtime drop-ins. Group walks often head to Holyrood Park, Inverleith Park or Cramond Beach, while quieter solo walks suit nervous dogs or those new to the city.

Costs are typically £12–£16 for a 30-minute solo walk and £10–£14 per dog for a small group walk. Many Edinburgh walkers offer weekend adventure walks in the Pentland Hills for active dogs.

Scottish welfare regulations are administered by the City of Edinburgh Council. Although dog walking itself isn't licensed, professional walkers will carry public liability insurance and care, custody & control cover.

When choosing an Edinburgh dog walker, consider:

  • Insurance and care, custody & control cover
  • Group walk size and dog matching
  • Pentland or beach walk availability
  • Free meet-and-greet and trial walk
