At Eden Waggy Wanderers, I understand that every dog is different. Some love long adventures with their four-legged friends, while others prefer a quieter stroll at their own pace. That's why I offer flexible dog walking services tailored to your dog's personality, routine, and individual needs.
Based at the foot of the beautiful fells in the Yorkshire Dales, I’m perfectly placed to give your dog the exercise, enrichment and fresh air they deserve. Whether you're at work, away for the day or simply need an extra helping hand, I’m here to provide safe, reliable and professional care.
Before your dog's first walk, I offer a two-hour introductory session. This gives me the opportunity to get to know your dog in a relaxed environment, understand their routine, discuss any training, medical, or behavioural needs, and ensure they feel comfortable with me before heading out on future walks.
My group walking sessions are ideal for sociable dogs who enjoy spending time with others. Every group walk lasts at least one hour, giving your dog plenty of time to explore, exercise, and enjoy the stunning countryside around Kirkby Stephen and the surrounding areas.
For dogs with reliable recall and appropriate training, I can offer off-lead walks in safe, appropriate locations. These walks allow dogs to enjoy greater freedom while exploring the beautiful surroundings of the Yorkshire Dales. Your dog's safety will always come first, so off-lead walking is only available once I’m confident they are ready and with your permission.
Alongside my dog walking services, I also offer dog day care for owners who need someone to look after their dog during the day. Whether you're working, attending appointments or simply need extra support, your dog will enjoy companionship, exercise and plenty of care in a safe and welcoming environment.
If you're away from home or need someone to check in on your pets, my pet sitting service offers dependable care and peace of mind. I'll make sure your pets are comfortable, well looked after and receive the attention they deserve while you're away.
In addition to caring for your pets, I create beautiful pet portraits that give you a lasting keepsake of your much-loved companion. Head to my dedicated Pet Portraits page to learn more!

Choosing the right dog walker is about more than simply taking your dog for a walk. It's about finding someone who genuinely cares about their wellbeing and treats them like one of their own.
At Eden Waggy Wanderers, I’m passionate about providing friendly, reliable and professional care for every dog I meet. Whether you need regular dog walking, dog day care, pet sitting, or group walking, or would love a personalised pet portrait, I’m here to help owners across Kirkby Stephen and beyond, keep their pets happy, healthy, and well cared for.
We are very pleased with the beautiful drawing of our dog Milly. Teresa has captured her perfectly. Due to my mistake I overpaid for the drawing , this was quickly pointed out to me by Teresa and the excess money was returned to my bank account the next day.

I could not be more thrilled with the portrait Teresa did of my dog and, though she is still with me, I’m so grateful I have this drawing to remember her. My financial interactions with Teresa were professional and extremely honest giving me comfort in asking her for additional work in the future. I highly recommend Teresa Ferguson - Pet portraits.

Teresa is absolutely wonderful with our nervous dog Molly—whether it’s a full sleepover or just daycare, we always know she’s in calm, caring hands.

I asked Teresa to draw a picture of my friends cat for her birthday . She really brought Ginge to life . His eyes were particularly lifelike and the attention to detail just amazing
