🦮 Dog Walkers across Renfrewshire

About Dog Walkers

A dog walker takes your dog out for regular exercise when you're at work, away, or unable to walk them yourself.

A reliable local walker who knows your dog, your neighbourhood and your routine is worth their weight in gold - especially for working dog owners.

Ask how many dogs they walk at once, whether they're insured and whether they hold a dog walking licence from the local council if one is required in your area.

About Renfrewshire

(opens in new tab)

Renfrewshire is a council area in west-central Scotland, lying immediately to the west and south-west of Glasgow on the southern bank of the River Clyde. It covers around 270 square kilometres and has a population of roughly 180,000, making it one of the more densely populated council areas outside the four main cities.

Paisley is the largest town and administrative centre — the fifth-largest settlement in Scotland — with a rich industrial heritage built on thread-making, weaving and the iconic Paisley pattern that took the town's name around the world. The medieval Paisley Abbey, founded in 1163, remains one of the finest monastic churches in Scotland and is believed to be the birthplace of the Stewart royal dynasty.

Beyond Paisley, the landscape varies considerably. The northern strip along the Clyde is low-lying and industrialised, taking in Renfrew, Inchinnan and Erskine. The centre and south-west rise into the Renfrewshire Heights, a belt of rolling farmland and moorland dotted with attractive villages like Lochwinnoch, Kilbarchan, Houston and Bridge of Weir that have a distinctly rural character despite being within easy reach of Glasgow.

Transport links are excellent. Glasgow Airport sits within the council boundary at Abbotsinch, the M8 motorway crosses the area east to west and railway lines connect Paisley, Johnstone and the surrounding towns to Glasgow Central in as little as ten minutes — making Renfrewshire one of the most accessible parts of the Glasgow city region.
