- Declan CAbsolutely fantastic walkers! My dog gets walked daily from them and he always comes back tired and happy. They truly care about him and have a bond, his tail is always wagging when they come to collect him. They are very flexible with changing days and very pleasant to talk to. They give you pictures and an update after each walk. They also take the dogs to many many different places so they always get to experience a change of scenery. They are amazing value for money and I highly recommend them!

- ella iWe have been using Darren and Vivs dog walking services for around 2 months now we cannot fault them in anyway, our 1 year old Doberman can be a handful and they have helped and worked with us to make sure he is getting the best out of his walks. He comes home happy and sleepy after every walk, it’s great knowing you have trust in your dog walker and he is in safe hands. I would highly recommend Darren and Viv!☺️
Exercised dogs are happy dogs
Vivienne and I met some years ago during an extended visit to South Africa. I am a Carpenter by trade and an animal lover by heart. For over 40 years I have loved and cared for my own dogs and cats. For some time I wanted to move away from Carpentry and follow my dreams of working with animals for a living and today I cannot imagine doing anything else. Viv left the corporate world 15 years ago to follow her passion of working with animals. Where she successfully built a Wildlife Consulting business. She was professionally involved in the hand rearing of wild cats such as serval & caracal, the capture, relocation, and rehabilitation of various other animals from small antelope to rhino and when Viv decided that she would join me in my home town of Manchester there was no doubt in our minds that with our mutual love for animals and the outdoors, the logical step would be for us to find a way to follow our hearts and work with animals and so The Dog Walkers was established. We have been walking dogs and caring for people’s pets and loving it ever since. We pride ourselves in being able to offer a professional but personal service to our clients. Whether we're out walking your special little friend or looking out for them whilst you are away from home, you can be rest assured that they are in experienced and caring hands. We know that they are never just your “pets" they are an incredibly special part of the family and whilst they are with us, we will always take great care to treat them as just that – special!
Consultation
We enjoy offering that personalised service and therefore like to meet with both you and your fur babies first to find out your specific requirements plus any special requirements, behavioural issues, or illness your dog may have prior to walking and caring for them and we do this from the comfort of your/their own home as this helps them to feel safe and for us to build some trust with your dog in their secure environment. This will also give you the opportunity to ask any questions you may have for us and to make sure that we are right for you.
10 - 60 minutes - Free
We only walk up to 4 dogs each at a time and we use lots of treats for positive reinforcement training for the dogs, which we believe keeps them happy, better behaved and stimulated in between running, sniffing and playing with their paw pals.
Group Dog Walking
Prices start at £13
Age, size and behaviour dependent
Group walk times are 10am - 12pm - 2pm
The length of time for each walk is the actual walking time but the dogs may be out with us for up to 2 hours of the day, for a 60 minute group walk. Our dogs can socialise with each other in one of our multi purpose dog carriers and can be grated whilst they are picked up from and dropped off home safely.
We want your dogs to be happy, safe, and well exercised when they are with us. We take them to various meadows, woodlands and large parks in South Manchester, Trafford and SK postcodes giving them the opportunity to experience and explore new and exciting places, letting them have as much fun as possible. If your pup should get wet whilst out and about, we will gladly dry your furry friend down when we arrive back at your home.

We offer solo walks for the reactive or boisterous. We do this hoping to integrate them successfully into one of our walking groups if and when they are ready.

It would be our pleasure to send you photos and vids of them enjoying their time out.
