Insured, Qualified & DBS-Checked Dog Walkers in South Manchester
Why Wythenshawe and South Manchester families trust us with their dogs — our insurance, training and accreditations in full.
Trusted, qualified pet-care professionals
The Dog Walkers is run by Daz and Viv — a small, trusted team who treat every dog like one of our own. Viv left the corporate world over 15 years ago to work with animals full-time, and every new client starts with a free home meet & greet so we get to know your dog before their first walk. The credentials below aren’t just badges — they’re how we keep your dog safe, happy and properly cared for.

Real expertise, real care
Our training is real expertise, not just a logo. Daz holds a diploma in canine psychology and uses IMDT (Institute of Modern Dog Trainers) techniques for reactive, nervous and boisterous dogs. Both of us are canine first-aid trained — Viv once performed CPR on a dachshund mid-walk and revived it. Every walker is DBS-checked, dogs travel in secure, individual crates, and walks can be GPS-tracked for complete peace of mind.
It all starts with a free, no-pressure meet & greet at your home. See our full range of services or get in touch to arrange yours.
