Lily’s Woofs & Walks in Mudeford

In a coastal stretch where paths and harbour edges make longer outings easy, smaller dogs can still end up either overstimulated in a mixed group or left out of the main activity. Lily’s Woofs & Walks limits its walks to small groups of small and medium-sized dogs, so each animal has room to explore and socialise without being overshadowed.

The walks are set up for safety and manageability. Dogs of similar size share the outing, which keeps the social side more even, while individual attention continues throughout. The service covers Mudeford, Highcliffe and the surrounding areas. A free meet and greet is offered before any booking is confirmed, giving both the owner and the dog a chance to settle into the arrangement.

Alongside the walks, the business provides home visits for dogs when owners are at work, out for the day, or away on holiday. These cover feeding, toileting and play. The same operator also handles drop-in care for cats, chickens, reptiles and other small pets, with options for regular slots or one-off bookings for holidays and short breaks. Every visit begins with the same free meet and greet.

The credentials listed are direct: fully insured, DBS checked, and experienced and trained. Spaces for the small-group dog walks are limited, so the focus stays on the dogs that fit the group size rather than expanding the numbers.

For anyone with a smaller dog who needs a reliable outing, or a straightforward check-in at home that can also cover other animals, the setup is deliberately restricted rather than scaled up. Details and contact are on the website, with updates also on Instagram @lilyswoof.
