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. 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.

So thankful to have found Darren and Viv! With 2 large breed energetic doggies the importance of finding someone who is trustworthy and caring was top of our list. The girls absolutely love walks with The Dog Walkers and we love having someone to rely on including stepping in for last minute dogsitting duties! ❤️🐾 More...

Darren is amazing with Blue! As an anxious and nervous dog it was a worry with us finding the perfect dog walker but The Dog Walkers put us completely at ease. We get videos and photos of Blue daily out on his walks and he is always exhausted when we come in from work which is a bonus! 😁 More...

Darren is absolutely brilliant!
His super friendly communication, his fun walks, ball play and messy play really made for a happy 9 month lab’ Maggie, she loved him and was so excited to see him!
I cannot recommend him and his excellent friendly efficient service highly enough!
Thank you Darren!!!!

Darren of The Dog Walkers is amazing with all animals and has an affinity for dogs. At our Wildlife Sanctuary he had to manage and care for all of our dogs. This included walking, feeding and bathing which he did with enthusiasm. Darren is professional and reliable always going the extra mile to ensure the animals are happy. I can recommend Darren to look after and love any of your pets. More...
Dog Walking
The length of time for each walk is the actual walking time. The dogs may be out with us for up to 2 hours a day, Our dogs socialise with each other in one of our MPV's "multi purpose dog carriers" 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, 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 gladly dry your furry friend down when we arrive back at their home.
Home Visits
We offer home sitting and visits for all your pets for playtime, feeding, petting, water refills, administering oral medication and litter cleaning and we can water the plants too. We will take care of it for you.
