Grow Walkies Avis 

My local Gro Walkies is a great lovely facility Wide open space, easy to get into, clean and a great space Dogs love it.
However, this is a review for the company.
If you charge your customers for a full hour they made a contract with you for the full hour.
The last two times I have booked a session the previous person has not left until 10 past the hour and as your Ts & Cs state that ‘customer need to wait until the previous user has left the field’ This means you’re often paying for somebody else to be in the dog field during your contracted time.
I’ve written to you asking why you cannot make it a 50 minute booking or even to put up signs to say people must leave the car park by at 55 past, I was told you just rely on customers goodwill My contract is with you not the previous user, so jt shouldn’t be up to me to either feel speak with often groups of people still hanging around chatting in the field or having to sit with my reactive dog barking because the person hasn’t left the facility.
The other thing is on your website it says arrive five minutes before your session and people often are arriving 10- 15 minutes before. So you end up with an even shorter period of time then you’ve actually paid for because the dogs are focused on the people in the car park.
A sign at the gate of each field would alleviate this or alternatively if you cannot get in the field then reimbursement for the time that you’re unable to use the field that you’ve paid for

Just wanted to say what a womderful hour we had this afternoon with our 2 doggies

What a fab set up you have and so easy to access we will certainly be back, it was nice to see them having so much fun.

Well done

2 very tied doggies now

I have been coming to Epping since it opened, sadly it’s now not the same lovely place.

Other users are not picking up after their dogs after they poop, and multiple times we come there are bits of broken toy which is a hazard for our elderly terrier who picks things up.

Final straw today a massive crap on one of the tyres. No way an owner could have not noticed their dog do that. Paying over £14 an hour for a field that isn’t cleaned is gross.

I have lurcher cant take off lead i bring her here she really enjoy lots of ground to run and off lead very secure the owner keeps it well maintain very good custmer service if you cancel they try arrange time suit you to rebook annette poppy lurcher9

We have visited a couple of times with our 3 dogs. They love this place and we can relax.

We booked field C at Chelmsford and spent the first 15mins picking up endless cigarette butts which are toxic to dogs, empty McDonalds sugar sachets, disposed of a used McDonalds coffee cup left on the bench and picked up other people dog mess that they could not be bothered to pick up. Not a great experience for a first time user. I have used other dog fields in the past and have never had to do this before. Very disappointing when wanting our puppy to have a great experience!

Didnt know these places existed! Brilliant idea, took my 6 month old puppy to let him run free off-lead. He absolutely loved it.
Field is large and secure with the enter and exit gates safe and simple to use.
Great that there was a tap to refill our dog's water bottle too.
Only losing a star as there was unpicked-up poo, which i did step in.
Not reflective of the company, as its the dog owners responsibility to check before they leave.

My 2 dogs love it here, it's safe and fun for them, plus it's huge! Entering and exiting is easy and efficient and I don't have any concerns at all about potential escapees!

This was a great opportunity for my 3 newly adopted dogs to run off lead and have a good time without the worry of other people or dogs. I have been twice in 2 days as they had such a good time. The field was very big and they particularly enjoyed the sandpit. I was worried about their recall and also one of them is very reactive to everything, but she was relaxed. I will definitely take them again but maybe once a month as it would work out expensive to do it all the time.

My rescue whippet loved the opportunity to have lots of zoomies off the lead in a secure area. (Recall is not fully established yet). We also enjoyed using some of the equipment.
This was at South Mymms, so it was noisy from the M25 traffic and although she is quite nervous of traffic, she soon gained confidence

We loved our first booking ! We had a great time and our dog George loved it ! It was so easy to book , find and also the gate opening system . Really straightforward . Lovely facilities . Only thing was I think despite the signage some owners were not clearing up after their pooches ! We went round with the picker and scoop that was provided and picked up lots that we found left by others as George played . Was so nice to have a facility that he could run about safely in off the lead . Thank you we will def re book !

Love this dog field, really big with various bits of equipment. Helped me feel secure walking my labrador

I discovered this place a couple of weeks ago while searching for a safe area to take my newly adopted dog. Since her recall isn't very reliable, I needed a location where I could let her off-lead and still be able to get her back easily.

I’ve been using the facility in Colchester, and it’s absolutely amazing! My dog loves exploring every part of the field and the available equipment. I highly recommend bringing your dog(s) here. I also appreciate their gate system; it's a fantastic way to keep dogs safe.

We use north London c field which is perfect aside from being completely enclosed it has no passing cars or people

Lovely scenery from this field and love the track all around which has been covered with bark makes it easy to walk around - that’s great for us to legged animals 😀

So much to keep the dogs busy, all equipment very well kept

Love the easy booking and easy entry into the field itself

Just perfect to give the dogs an off lead run

Great parking , secure field .
I use the south mimms site it’s only a stone throw from my house but great for puppy training when my dog was young .. also she digs he heels in if we walk past as she wants to go in .. loves to dig and climb .
Poo bins and shelter with phone charger is great

Been visiting the Chelmsford fields (A, B and C) for a couple of years. Great space. Safe and lots of room for zoomies. Well cared for fields. Climbing and digging apparatus for the clever. Reasonable price. Secure and lots of fun. Can't recommend this company enough 5* 🐾

Very secure and clean. My dog loves his time at grow walkies . Would highly recommend

I love using Grow Walkies, I’ve tried multiple of their locations and they’re all brilliant - the facilities are great! The customer service is amazing. The website is easy to use and I like the fact they provide a spacious car park for customers to use so there’s no need to worry about finding somewhere to park. My dog absolutely loved her time there with so much space to run around and play. The fact they provide a water tap in each field is certainly bonus! Can’t recommend enough!!🥰

We have been using various Grow Walkies fields (Epping and Roydon mostly) and have always found them excellent.

The new community groups are great and we look forward to being able to arrange play dates!

I love the fields and they make such a difference to my dog’s life! The system is efficient, fields are well equipped and lit at night, there is water and charging point and plenty of bins for poo bags, which all makes for an excellent experience.
