About
Our Approach
We keep things small on purpose
Most dogs are happiest on walks in small, calm groups.
We consciously limit our walks to 1-3 dogs at a time - no large packs or overstimulation.
We explore the countryside on dog walks around Burgess Hill, Ditchling and Hurstpierpoint, selecting quiet country paths, bridleways and beautiful meadows.
We never rush. Your dog will have the freedom to roam, sniff and socialise at their own pace. Whatever your dog’s temperament - whether confident or cautious, our walks are designed to give them a weekly ritual they look forward to.
Your dog will have fresh water on every walk, as well as high-value treats and you'll always receive updates on how they're doing.
Our dogs love our walks - and we know yours will too. We can’t wait to welcome your dog as one of our four-legged friends!
Meet Sophie
Hi, I'm Sophie.
I started Walks by Sophie because I believe dogs deserve better than rushed walks in large packs.
For our dogs, walks are about so much more than exercise. Walks are how they socialise and explore the world, where they can feel included and cared for.
I've always adored dogs, from our first family dog to my current pup, Cher. After a decade building customer success teams for other peoples businesses, I decided it was time to build something of my own - here in Burgess Hill, the community I live in.
I didn't rush it, I spent time working for an established local dog walking business first, learning the job properly before putting my name on it. Walks by Sophie is the result of that - a small, considered business built to last. Each dog I care for gets the same love, patience and attention I give my own dog. By keeping my groups smalI, every walk stays calm, unhurried, and something we all look forward to. I want walks by Sophie to be more than a service.
I want it to be part of this community, supporting local, growing sustainably and doing one thing exceptionally well for a long time. Fully insured, DBS checked and pet first aid trained. Because the basics aren't optional.

See why local dog owners trust Walks by Sophie with their four-legged family members. 🐾
Winter loves her walks with Sophie - It's really reassuring knowing she's had a proper walk and is well looked after. Sophie is great with her and clearly passionate about what she does!
Tim - Owner of Winter
Sophie has been incredible with my dog Olive. She often takes Olive for a solo walk or with just one other dog was reassures me that she’s getting full attention on a walk.
Sophie is kind and has brilliant communication. I would definitely recommend (and so would Olive!)
Hollie - Owner of Olive
Really glad I found Sophie! She's been walking storm 3 x a week for the past couple of months. She's just got a calm nature with dogs and storm comes back chilled and content. Very happy!
