WE ARE MORE THAN JUST A WALK
Your Dog Deserves the VIP Treatment
​​As you may have seen, we’re more than just a dog walking service — we provide a complete pet care experience. I often tell new clients that if you’re simply looking for someone to walk your dog, we may not be the right fit. We pride ourselves on delivering a premium, industry-leading service that goes beyond the basics, including tailored care and drop-in visits for cats.

More Than a Dog Walker
VIPDOGS is a full-service premium dog care company built on one belief: that dogs are family, and family deserves the very best.
Built on Trust
Every member of the VIPDOGS team is fully insured, DBS checked and extensively trained in dog care, behaviour and handling before they ever collect their first client.
​
Premium at Every Level
From our crash-tested individual travel crates to our bespoke wedding chaperone packages and cold-pressed dog food, nutrition range, we operate at the top end of the market in everything we do
Small Groups, Big Attention
We walk a maximum of four dogs at any one time, ensuring every dog in our care receives genuine individual attention rather than being part of an unmanageable pack.
Rooted in Newton Mearns
We are a proud Glasgow southside company serving Newton Mearns and the surrounding communities, and our dedication to the area and its dogs is at the heart of everything we build.
Everything Your Dog Could Ever Need
VIPDOGS offers a complete ecosystem of premium dog care services. Whether your dog needs a daily walk, a safe and loving home away from home, a perfectly curated mealtime, or a starring role at your wedding, we have a service designed around exactly that.
Dog Walking
We collect dogs directly from home, walk groups of a maximum of four for a full hour in outdoor locations around Newton Mearns, and return every dog cleaned, towel-dried and settled. Our secure key holding service and personalised ID tags come as standard.
Puppy Care
Shorter 30-minute walks designed specifically for growing puppies, including lead training and socialisation. Vet guidelines recommend shorter walks for young dogs, and we follow those to the letter.
Pet Visits & Boarding
Drop-in visits for cats, birds, rabbits and other pets, plus a dog boarding service where regular clients can have their dog stay in a familiar, loving environment during holidays, with pick-up and drop-off arranged to suit.
Elderly & Special Needs
Dedicated care for dogs with mobility challenges, health conditions, or older dogs requiring a more gentle, patient and knowledgeable approach than standard group walking services provide.
Our Dedicated Dog Transport Fleet
The VIPDOGS transport fleet is purpose-built for the safe, comfortable and stress-free transportation of dogs. Every vehicle is fitted with individual crash-tested anti-shatter hard-plastic travel crates, each lined with veterinary bedding, properly ventilated, and tested to the same rigorous safety standards as child car seats.
Fuel the VIP Life
Dogs in the VIPDOGS programme eat, walk and sleep like royalty. Which is why we created our own cold-pressed natural dog food range — three complete flavours crafted from the finest UK-sourced ingredients and processed at temperatures below 40°C to preserve every nutrient in its natural form. No fillers. No synthetic vitamins. No compromises.

What Our Clients Say
"Mark was completely attentive and truly loves dogs. He provided regular updates with photos, went above and beyond to make Milo comfortable and is highly professional, kind, patient and communicative throughout."
Vinit Shah
Milo
"Olly has been walking with Mark since January 2024. When Olly lost his sight, Mark supported us with incredible professionalism and care. Ten months later, Olly is an extremely happy, carefree dog who leaves the house with his tail nearly wagging off."
Angela McGrory
Olly
"Mark always gives a full hour walk not counting transport. He takes them to different places so they are constantly exploring. He treats them like absolute VIPs."

The Story Behind VIPDOGS
VIPDOGS was founded by a lifelong dog lover who believed that dog care in Glasgow deserved to be elevated. What began as a personal passion for premium, attentive, small-group dog walking has grown into a full-service dog care company offering everything from daily walks and boarding to cold-pressed dog food, bespoke wedding chaperone services, and a dedicated transport fleet.
​
Our team shares the same belief that guides everything we do: dogs are family members, not obligations, and they deserve care that reflects that. We operate with small groups, personalised attention, transparent communication and an unwavering commitment to the health, happiness and safety of every dog in our care. We are fully insured, DBS-checked, and licensed for dog boarding, and we continually invest in our knowle service so that VIPDOGS remains the best choice for dog owners across Newton Mearns and the Glasgow southside.
