Puppy & Dog Care for Busy Owners

Treating Every Pet Like One of Our Own

At Heidi’s Four Legged Explorers, we understand that your pet isn't "just a pet" — they're part of your family. We're a family-run pet care business based in Dorset, providing loving, reliable and personalised care for dogs and small pets across Poole, Broadstone, Wimborne and surrounding areas.

Whether you're working long hours, juggling family life or simply need an extra pair of hands, we're here to give your pet the attention, exercise and companionship they deserve.

🐶 Puppy & young dog care is at the heart of Heidi’s Four Legged Explorers

Our small-group puppy social walks for 8–20-week-old puppies are designed with busy working owners in mind, giving young puppies positive opportunities to socialise, explore and build confidence while you're at work.

As puppies grow, their needs change — which is why we also offer young dog social walks for dogs aged around 20–30 weeks. Not quite ready for the adult group walks, but beyond the puppy stage, these walks bridge the gap with age-appropriate exercise, lead manners and continued confidence-building.

We also offer puppy home visits, helping your puppy get the care, toilet breaks, attention and interaction they need during the day.

Every dog is different. Their care should be too.

We don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. From energetic youngsters who love exploring to older dogs who prefer a slower, more relaxed walk, we take the time to understand your dog's personality, age, confidence and individual needs.

Small groups. Personal attention. Happy dogs.
