As the UK's second-largest city, Birmingham combines busy urban areas with plenty of green space — Sutton Park, Cannon Hill Park and Lickey Hills are all popular with dog walkers. This mix means most local providers can offer both quick neighbourhood walks and longer outings into the surrounding countryside.
Pricing in Birmingham tends to be more affordable than London. Expect to pay around £10–£15 for a 30-minute solo dog walk, £8–£13 per dog for a small group walk, and £10–£15 for a 30-minute cat-sitting visit. Overnight home boarding starts at around £25 per night.
Birmingham's diverse neighbourhoods mean there's no shortage of specialist services either — including breed-specific groomers, mobile dog grooming vans, doggy daycare centres and home boarders licensed by Birmingham City Council. Many providers happily cover the wider West Midlands, including Solihull, Wolverhampton and Coventry.
