QUICKFIRE - dog walking business name suggestions

[blaghe]

I am on the way to starting my own dog walking business, the part that is stumping me the most is a catchy name.

I'd love for it to incorporate some sort of nature theme in some way but I don't know how. Or alliteration. Just something quick, catchy and snappy ... I'm usually good at helping others with this but when it's came to my own, I'm stumped!

If I was looking for a dog walker I'd want to know they are local so I think including your town/area name would help.

Ie

River Meadow dog walking- not helpful

Basingstoke Buddies Dog Walking - helpful

Muddy Paws.

And will you give my DD a part time job please?

Actually I agree with Bucket re putting location in the name.

Fetch

Mablethorpe Muddy Dog Walks

Furness Forest Dog Walking

Etc

PlaceName Dog Walking

It's what I’d Google if looking for a dogwalker in my local area. Should help you to come up in searches easily.

I agree about the local thing because I suspect if you used something pun like such as the fairy dogmother (one of my local ones), there’s probably several in the country and you’ll have issues with people searching and getting domain names, Facebook pages etc. I don’t suppose you’re in a “4” postcode area? I saw one this week which was the first part of our postcode -paws e.g.SE4 paws dog walking, but that only works for certain areas!

My friends dof walking business is named after her dog.

Birmingham City Dog's Time Out
Banfield Run & Play Dog walking Service
Greenwich Meadow walking Service

All the clever puns for dog walking businesses have been used and some are really cringe.

Wakefield Walkies
Hatfield Happy Pups Dog Walking
Redcar Rovers Dog Walking
Macclesfield Muddy Paws Dog Walking

Thats kind of thing would work and make sure people could find you on google/Facebook searches.

Tail Blazers
Woof on the Hoof
Floof on the Hoof
The Fast and the Furriest
Pooches Mooches

Barking Mad
Waggy Walks

D-Tails

Ours is simply A1 Pet Services. A bit old fashioned as it used to be the way to get yourself first in the Yellow Pages.

The name matters less than your reputation and facebook page. Lots of info in the about us or a pinned post, videos showing happy dogs out walking, playing in streams etc, and comments from happy customers usually does it.

We live on an island so location probably isn't as much of a big thing as in UK is all I'm thinking?

@PuttingDownRoots I'm curious as to how you'd flow it with your own pets name.

I know a few using the business owners name things like.

Pippa's Pals
Freddie's Friends Dog Walking
Walk with Winston

I wouldn't use your own pets names, I'd assume you had a favourite and my dog would not be priority. Like a childminder having their own child the same age.

@CrapBucket interesting opinion - my childminder does

If location is not the thing, either god or your own bar, ie Claire’s Dog Walking or if you want puns etc:

Walk this way
Lead On
Four Paws
Walkies

And nature ideas:

Fields Walking Services
Wind in the Willows
Parks and Recreation

Have a fun logo that works backwards Step-Pets

I always think one word business names work best.

For dog walking something like walkies or paws could work well although they’re a bit twee. Or something like Rover.

I think names like that are better for building a brand but you do have to work harder on Google and socials as pp said if you haven’t got location in the name.

Taking the lead 😊

There's one near me called We Will Walk You.
So the punnier the better I think.
