” Joe responded to my last minute request with professionalism & gusto! Otis took to him straight away making it obvious he we was in good hands. They bring back a very happy (and suitably tuckered out pup!) Without a doubt I recommend him to any one seeking pet care. 10/10!

I am thrilled to share my experience with Harlequin Dog Care, an exceptional dog walker service! Joe's professionalism and genuine affection for dogs shines through in every interaction. Joe has taken such wonderful care of my dog Otto since he was a puppy, Otto adores him and I wouldn't want him going anywhere else!. Joe is super flexible around my work commitments, has very competitive prices and I trust him completely to look after Otto. I receive updates throughout the day and Otto is always completely shattered when he arrives home. I could write pages of positive things about Harlequin Dog Care, a well-deserved five-stars!

Got to know Joe by meeting him several times on the common and he now regularly walks our beloved black lab Oscar. Joe is very reliable, passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about dogs; most importantly, he loves Oscar nearly as much as we do!

Couldn't recommend Harlequin Dog Care enough! Joe has been absolutely amazing with our Rotti - Coco! He is extremely good with dogs. Makes sure he engages with them through play and training. He is also very patient and calm!

Our little Schnauzer has been going with Jo and Harlequin for over two years. This is a very professional service with handling and training second to none and we highly recommend

Our dog is always super happy to see his dog walker and we know he is in safe hands on his walks. We would wholeheartedly recommend Harlequin Dog Care!

Definitely a 5 🌟 rating from me. Dixie has settled in to Harlequin so well. She is really happy and excited to see Joe and walk with the tribe. Joe is fantastic with the dogs and he really takes care of them. He is flexible and accommodating and I know Dixie is safely being looked after. Thanks Joe.

Joe has been walking my dog Carrot since he was a small puppy and I have nothing but great things to say about him. The moment I tell Carrot he's going for a walk with Joe he rushes to the door with excitement. Joe always provides such enriching walks, and when Carrot is dropped back off to me he is ready for a big long nap. I can't recommend Harlequin Dog Care enough.

Fantastic dog walking. Always a lovely happy group of dogs and Joe is great with them. I'd give more than 5 stars if I could!

Joe has truly transformed our lives! We're overjoyed to see how much Arco adores him, and the progress we've witnessed is beyond what we ever imagined. Arco has gained many friends and eagerly anticipates outings with Joe, Freda, Sandy, and any other companions who join them. Initially, we thought Arco's wouldn't be able to socialize with other dogs. However, from the very first outing with Joe, she has been remarkably at ease, and her behavior during walks has significantly improved. We still have work to do but we are so grateful to Joe and can't wait to continue this journey with him. Thank you, Joe!!!

We are very happy with Harlequin Dog Care. Joe walks our cockapoo, Milo twice a week and takes him out with other dogs to the woods or country parks like Itchen Valley or Southampton common. Joe has been walking Milo for about a year now! He socialises Milo with other dogs and from the photos and videos he shares Milo always looks like he is having fun! Joe is patient and able to adapt to when we needed to change a walk if it needs to be on a different day with some notice of course. Overall we are happy and thanks Joe for walking Milo each week and having him on stays when we go away it is much appreciated!
