About us
Founded by Sarah Hough, Pick Up The Paws is dedicated to keeping pets happy, healthy, and cared for while giving owners peace of mind.
At Pick Up The Paws, we bring a pop of pink and a whole lot of heart to every walk. Based in Arlesey, we offer professional dog walking and pet care you can count on. Whether it’s a brisk lunchtime stroll or an adventurous countryside ramble, we make sure every dog enjoys their time outdoors.
Fully insured, DBS-checked, and trained in canine first aid, we’re here to make tails wag and owners smile, one paw at a time.
We launched our online pet shop as a natural extension of our dog walking and pet sitting services, driven by a desire to share the trusted, high quality brands we use every day. Over the years, we've carefully chosen products that are not only safe and reliable for the pets in our care, but also kinder to the environment. By offering these same eco-conscious, well-loved items to our customers, we aim to make it easier for pet owners to shop confidently, knowing everything we stock has been hand-picked, tested, and truly trusted by us and the pets we look after.

Our Dog Walking Services
At Pick Up The Paws, we specialise in both 1 to 1 dog walks and group walks, designed to suit your pet’s personality and needs. Every walk is focused on safety, enrichment, and fun – from gentle strolls for older dogs to adventurous outings for pups with lots of energy. Our walks are more than just exercise; they’re an opportunity for your dog to explore, socialise, and enjoy a full walking experience.
Pet Sitting & Home Visits
We know life can get busy, which is why we also offer pet sitting services in the comfort of your home. From puppy playtime and toilet breaks to feeding and cuddles, we make sure your pet feels secure and loved while you’re away. Every visit includes a friendly update – often with photos – so you’ll know exactly how your pet is doing.
