Small Paws Outdoors

I’m Andrea — Southampton’s dog walker extraordinaire, experienced in leading small breeds and lively spaniels on their outdoor escapades.

With a blend of skill, enthusiasm, and a whole lot of tail-wagging energy, I guarantee each walk to be an adventure filled with laughter, exploration, and unforgettable memories for your furry friend.

But why small dogs… and why spaniels I hear you ask?

It’s actually a bit of a long story but to give you a little rundown…

My journey as a specialist dog walker began when I relocated to Southampton alongside my adorable Pomeranian and sidekick, Kobi. As any small dog owner can attest, these little bundles of fur hold a special place in our hearts, and I couldn’t stand being cooped up in an office when all I wanted was to lavish my boy with the love and care he deserved at home.

Recognising that many others shared this deep bond with their precious little dogs, I embarked on a mission to turn my passion into a profession — and Small Paws Outdoors was born.

For me though, it wasn’t just about walking dogs. It was about creating a tailored experience that catered specifically to the needs and desires of our cherished furry friends.

And as my journey unfolds, it’s become evident that spaniels are a huge hit within the small dog community. My group walks have quickly filled with Cocker Spaniels, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, and a variety of spaniel mixes. What’s more, they all bond effortlessly with each other and their pint-sized pals (cue the mini Daxis who are head over paws about their spaniel companions). They’re a beautiful breed as I’m sure you’ll agree.
