What Is a Pet Taxi? — The Dog Walkers, South Manchester

Getting your dog to the vet, groomer or kennels isn’t always easy — especially without a car, with an anxious dog, or when work gets in the way. That’s where a pet taxi comes in. Here’s what our South Manchester pet taxi is, and when it’s worth booking.

The short answer: A pet taxi is safe, temperature-controlled transport for your pet to vets, groomers, kennels or emergencies. Ours is DBS-cleared and pet first-aid trained, with secure, soft-floored crates — billing only starts once your pet is safely on board. From £10.

What a pet taxi actually is

It’s a dedicated, pet-safe transport service — not a regular taxi. Your pet travels in a temperature-controlled van with secure, soft-floored crates, handled by someone trained to keep them calm and safe.

When you might need one

Common reasons: vet and groomer appointments, trips to and from kennels or catteries, collection after surgery, and emergencies when you can’t get there yourself. It’s a lifeline if you don’t drive or can’t get time off work.

Safe, trained, insured

Our pet taxi is DBS-cleared, pet first-aid trained and fully insured — see our accreditations. Fairly, billing only starts once your pet is safely on board, not from the moment we set off.

What it costs

From £10 (15 minutes), depending on distance and time. For how our pricing works across the board, see what a dog walker costs in South Manchester.
