ABOUT THE K9 GENTLEMAN
For over 30 years, The Gentleman worked in roles requiring exceptional trust, responsibility and attention to detail — qualities that now define the standard of care offered through The K9 Gentleman. Traditional dog-walking services often operate at volume, with rushed routines and group walks that simply don’t provide the calm, personal, structured attention many dogs truly need.
​
The K9 Gentleman was created to offer something different.
​
A premium, one-to-one walking experience designed for owners who value consistency, reliability and a higher level of care. Every walk is calm, structured and tailored, ensuring your dog receives focused enrichment, gentle guidance and the quiet reassurance of a single, trusted gentleman every time.
​
The Gentleman has supported hundreds of clients over the years across high-pressure roles, developing a reputation for reliability, professionalism and calm confidence — qualities now dedicated to delivering exceptional canine care. This experience is what sets the service apart. It isn’t just a walk; it’s a thoughtful, refined approach to your dog’s wellbeing.
​
Now your dog can benefit from this premium, personal service — with one-to-one walks from just £20.

Dean has built a reputation for professionalism, reliability and the highest standards of personal service. Having spent decades in roles that demanded trust, responsibility and calm decision-making, Dean has now channelled those qualities into something far more personal — creating The K9 Gentleman, a premium one-to-one dog walking and canine-care service for those who value exceptional care for their dogs.
​
A lifelong dog lover, Dean has always believed that our canine companions deserve attention, understanding and consistency — qualities often missing from high-volume walking services. After stepping back from the corporate world, he chose to build something that reflected the values he cares about most: calmness, integrity, companionship and genuine one-to-one attention.
​
Dean’s approach is shaped by the same principles that guided him throughout his professional life:
focus, structure, detail, respect and trust.
Every dog benefits from that experience — whether through calm, structured walks, personalised care plans or the quiet reassurance of knowing the same gentleman arrives every time.
​
His track record in leadership and client service has always been built on relationships, and The K9 Gentleman is no different. Dean is passionate about helping dogs thrive, supporting owners through busy schedules, life changes or recovery periods, and providing a level of care that stands apart from traditional dog walking.
​
Now, he is excited to bring that commitment, care and gentlemanly approach to dogs and families across Yarm and the surrounding areas — offering a premium, refined and truly personal canine-care experience.
