Dog Walker Swanwick | Wagging Soul

Swanwick Lakes Nature Reserve is one of the best local spots for a varied hour-long walk, with woodland paths, open spaces, and seasonal wildlife interest. It is a firm favourite with dogs who like to explore at their own pace.

The River Hamble towpath connects Swanwick to Warsash and Bursledon, offering longer route options for more energetic dogs. Mia is familiar with the tidal sections and picks the right access points based on conditions on the day.

Group walks are limited to four dogs at a time, keeping things manageable and safe. Solo walks are available for dogs who prefer one-to-one attention or are not yet comfortable in a group.

New bookings start with a free meet and greet so Mia can get to know your dog before the first walk.

Mia also covers dog walking in Sarisbury Green, Warsash, Locks Heath, Park Gate, and Bursledon. Get in touch to check whether your area is covered.

• Mia knows Swanwick Lakes and the Hamble towpath well — including routes that work at low tide and paths that get waterlogged in winter

• Small group sizes — maximum four dogs — so your dog always gets proper attention

Swanwick sits between Sarisbury Green and Bursledon, giving Mia good access to the River Hamble on both sides. Swanwick Lakes is the standout local walking spot — the reserve is managed specifically for wildlife and green space, which means it stays quieter and more natural than most local parks. It's a particularly good option for dogs that benefit from calmer, less busy walks, or for those that need space away from other dogs while they build confidence.
