💡 Quick Tips

1.Bath dog walkers often offer 'Skyline walks' — a 2–3 hour off-leash adventure on the National Trust trail, ideal if you want to use a spa session or visit the Roman Baths.
2.Tailster.com is the UK-specific competitor to Pawshake — sometimes more options in Bath specifically.
3.Most Bath pet-friendly hotels do NOT allow dogs to be left unattended in rooms. A local sitter or in-room day care service is essential for indoor attractions.
