Walks n Wonder is a small, heart-led space providing thoughtful, enrichment-based care for dogs, cats, backyard chickens, and small pets.
Our Story
Walks n Wonder grew from years of hands-on experience with animals, from walking dogs and caring for cats, to looking after small pets and running a doggy daycare.
In 2025, Ellie and Ricky decided to build something more intentional.
Something personal. Something thoughtful. Something that truly puts animals first.
We keep things small and intentional so we can focus on what matters most:
– Building trust with every animal
– Reading behaviour and responding thoughtfully
– Creating enrichment through movement, exploration, and play
– Supporting both physical and emotional wellbeing
If you’re looking for care that’s tailored, thoughtful, and focused on your pet’s wellbeing, you can explore our dog walking, cat visits, and small pet care services
