Dog Walking services in Oxfordshire & Berkshire - STARTING OCTOBER 2025
At Barksby, we believe every dog deserves the perfect balance of exercise, companionship, and care. Whether it’s an energetic group walk through the countryside or a one-to-one walk with your older statesman or young pup, we treat every dog like one of our own.
Our attention to detail means your dog gets a tailored experience — we remember their favourite routes, their quirks, and the way their tail wags when they’re happy. Providing a Fully insured, DBS-checked and dog first-aid trained walker, you can relax knowing your best friend is in expert hands.
We are currently going through IMDT accredited training experience, to support with the basics, and further development. We welcome every dog of any size and personality!
📍 Areas Covered: Oxford, Abingdon, Wantage, Didcot, Reading, Henley, Newbury & surrounding villages/towns (within 10–12 miles).
PLEASE NOTE: Weekend slots available only (weekday slots should be available in the near future).

🐾 Barksby for a Cause: Running for PHAB
At Barksby, we’re not just passionate about caring for dogs — we’re passionate about making a difference in our community. That’s why 100% of our profits will be donated towards the Barksby London Marathon Charity Fundraiser, supporting the incredible work of Phab.
About Phab
Phab is a UK charity that brings together children and adults — with and without disabilities — to enjoy activities, build friendships, and create opportunities for everyone to thrive. Through clubs, residential holidays, and inclusive projects, Phab helps break down barriers and make inclusion a reality.
LONDON MARATHON - APRIL 2026
Barksby will be taking on the full 26.2 miles of the London Marathon in April — dressed in a giant inflatable golden retriever costume 🐶.
Yes, you read that right! Our team will be bouncing, waddling, and tail-wagging their way across London’s streets to raise vital funds for Phab — proving that a little bit of silliness can go a long way in supporting a serious cause.
