Dog Walking in County Durham

“Jamie looked after Flash for three days in the summer and is currently walking him regularly for us while I recover from surgery. He’s reliable, friendly and Flash loves him. Flash is a dog reactive dog and it’s a big deal for us to know that with Jamie he behaves himself.”

“It's hard trusting someone else with your dog, but meeting Christine put me at ease. She's now walked my dog twice (in this awful weather, might I add), and each time my dog has come home worn out and happy. I love getting updates from Christine, and she always let's me know what they've been up to. My girl now waits at the door for Christine to arrive even when I haven't booked a walk.”

“I would highly recommend Carrie to take care of your dog. She always looked after my dog when I went on holiday and he absolutely loves her. She would take him on the most wonderful walks and she treated him like her own dog. I could rest easy knowing my dog was cared for and enjoy my holiday. She sent regular picture updates to me which was great.”

“We have used Ashley 3 times now (with more booked) and he is absolutely fantastic! He replies really quickly and with plenty of information. He is flexible when necessary. Always tidies up any mess which Winnie has made in the house which is really appreciated! Leaves so much information about Winnie’s walks and her behaviour and always provides pictures. I always look forward to seeing the pictures and summaries of her walks whilst I’m at work! We plan on using Ashley regularly for our energetic pub!”

“Laure is absolutely brilliant. She looked after Rizla as if she was her own. Laure understood that Rizla is a member of our family and sent us pictures and videos to reassure us that she was having a great time. I cannot recommend Laure highly enough. She is a delight and your dog will love her!”

About: I've taken care of my dog since I was 12 years old. I took her for walking and slept with her every day. I'm fully experienced of getting along with dogs, and I have a lot of time, so I can take them for walk anytime. I'm currently a student who do not have many classes. I've got almost whole day free, so I can work anytime in the day on any day in the week. I have a room which big enough for cats and dogs, there's a yard in front of my flat. Furnitures like bed and chairs are allowed to stay🥰

About: I have always had a pet at home my entire life, ranging from axolotls and hedgehogs to guinea pigs and tortoises. I also current have a pug who I have cared for since she was a puppy for the past 5 years. I have also frequently looked after other dogs when friends were on holidays etc. I’m currently a Durham University student, however I no longer have any more classes to attend so I am very available! I also have my car so can easily travel. In my house the garden is completely fenced in and no other animals are present. There is also many nearby open spaces which I can take the dog too.

“Isobel is amazing with any furry friend! She's looked after my dog on numerous occasions, and honestly, I couldn't be happier. She's always on time, super caring, and just gets what pets need. She makes the whole pet sitting and walking process feel easy and worry-free. Totally recommend her if you need someone loving and dependable for your pet.”

They are both always very excited to see her. Eve will play with them as well as walk them. She is reliable and is polite and a good communicator.”

“Shauna looks after my dog in her house very often. I feel that Bella loves going to Shauna’s house as she is given nothing but love and care the whole time. She gets plenty of cuddles, play time, healthy meals and snacks, toilet breaks, and walks.”

“I highly recommend Nathan as a dog walker or dog sitter. His passion for animals is evident in the care and attention he provided to Marty, my furry friend! Nathan went above and beyond to ensure my dog got the exercise and companionship he needed whilst I was away. With his reliability and professionalism, I had complete peace of mind knowing my pet was in good hands.”

About: I live in newton hall County Durham with my 1 year old cavalier King Charles spaniel called Bruno. We both love all animals and people and Bruno likes to be everyone’s friend. He has been neutered in December 2023. As a dog owner I know how anxiety provoking it can be when leaving your beloved pet with someone so I will always ensure that there is a care plan in place of what your needs/expectations are for your little one. I will always send updates throughout and you can be assured that they will be treated as one of my own. I can do drop in visits and dog walking for however long necessary/frequency. This tends to be weekends, however will always have my calendar up to date. I work as a mental health nurse during the week and some days I get to work from home. Bruno does go to daycare twice a week and I have family popping in to see him the days I’m in the office. However, I will always have my calendar updated for when I’m at home during the week/annual leave. I am always at home on weekends though. I can do little walks/long walks whatever your preference at any time during the day I have a large fenced garden that is a mixture of grass and paving stones plenty of space to play games, zoomies etc. there is also a cavalier King Charles to keep your baby company! We go on 4 walks a day but this can be adapted and also happy to do lone walks or group walks whatever your preference. We go on a morning walk, lunch time, tea time and evening. Bruno gets fed on a morning and at tea time but can provide meals whenever you prefer for your pet.

“Issie is a long term friend who has taken care of my cockapoo multiple times. She takes her on long walks and treated her like the queen she is, providing her lots of love and cuddles.”

About: Hello. I have grown up around dogs all my life. I now have my own 9 month old puppy, Poppy who I adore. She is well trained and super sociable! My work shifts now allow me extra time to get outside for walks more often, and help others with friendly drop-ins on a flexible basis. I know first hand how tricky it can be to juggle life’s responsibilities whilst making sure your pup is well looked after! Flexible for drop ins and walking in the Durham area throughout the week. Mid week walks limited to 30-60 minutes, weekends walks 60minutes or more. I have a fenced back garden with plenty of space to play and relax. Outside of the home I’ll ensure pets are always on the lead.

Always reliable, always keen to put our dog first. Mindful of his needs, and you can tell Dylan just loves being around Alice. Highly recommend.”

“Willa is a huge dog enthusiast, she loves nothing more that getting to know a new little fury friend and going out for long walks and adventures outside together. She is a very trustworthy, responsible, and reliable girl with a kind, caring and thoughtful nature. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust her looking after my pet as I know she would take such good care it, and go as far as putting its needs before her own!”
