About: My family have had pets as little additions to the family since I was born, I don't remember any time when we didn't have pets in our house. I have fed them, walked them, bathed them and loved them unconditionally. Pets really are an addition to the family, they should be loved and treat like one! I am permanently working from home so your pet will never be left waiting. I will have to double check with when I would be able to pick up your little babies. I will ensure that any dogs off lead are in an enclosed area, that any treats offered from strangers whilst on a walk are "accepted" then immediately thrown away.

About: I have had dogs my whole life!

About: I got my first dog when I was 20 after unsuccessfully asking for a dog for Christmas every year for about 16 years straight. He, and his brother, are my best friends. I love adventuring outdoors and being surrounded by animals makes that even better. The most important thing for me in caring for animals is to be respectful and patient, and ensuring they have everything they need. My youngest dog is nervous and, as a result, can be quite a handful. This has lead me to research dog psychology and gain a decent understanding of animal behaviour. I work full-time on a hybrid basis. When I am not working, I am always desperate to get out for walks and spend time with animals. I generally take my dogs on a long walk once a day but I am able to be flexible in terms of exercise requirements. My dogs get other mental stimulation daily in the house/garden, including being scatter-fed, playing with toys and chews, and training obedience. The safety and happiness of animals in my care is my priority. I will always be considerate of instructions you give me as you know your pet best, and I will be sure to communicate to make sure everyone is as happy as can be. I will work with you and your pet to understand what suits everyone best.
About: I have always loved dogs and looking after those belonging to my friends. In 2021 I was able to get my own pup, Winnie. I didn’t think it would be possible but I now love dogs even more than before. I really enjoy taking them for walks and taking care of them. I have experience training my puppy as well as others, and always bring fun and excitement to a dogs day. Currently have a lot of spare time during the week and weekend so am happy to fit my schedule around your needs. Let’s chat and see what works best for you! In my home we have an enclosed garden so safety is guaranteed. I can look after your dog however you prefer. Whether that be to go for walks, play at home or in your garden, I am very easy.

Happy to travel to your property to either walk or stay with your pets. I am fully insured and have a lot of animal experience.

About: As a dedicated pet parent to both a dog and a cat, I understand the love and care our furry friends need.

I treat every pet like my own, ensuring they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away! Pet care naturally fits into my daily routine because im already used to feeding, walking, playing with, and caring for my own pets. Having a cat and a dog means i understand different needs, like daily walks for dogs and litter box maintenance for cats. When pet sitting i will make sure i stick to their routine, keep the home nice and tidy and clean up any accidents if needed. I am also willing to do any little jobs as instructed like watering plants etc. I will spend quality time playing with the pet. Before leaving i will ensure all doors that need to be closed are closed and that the pet is safe in the home.
About: I’m very active and love walking. My fiance is also on rover so it’s something we both enjoy doing. My Dalmatian is a big softy and has never had any issues with any dogs or cats. As long as they are friendly with her she would always enjoy a play mate. One of us are always in the house and we are happy to cater for any special requests. We can assist with any training requirements. I can do hybrid working when required. I don’t work weekends at all. My fiance is also at home during the day so there is always somebody in the house. Callie gets a minimum of 2 walks a day. Happy to cater for any special requests I have a fenced garden and a backyard. I’ve got a very friendly Dalmatian that loves play dates. Wouldn’t ever need to leave the dog by themselves. Plenty of photos and videos with regular updates
About: Have had pets my entire life and helped friends and family with walking and dog sitting when they had other commitments so happy to help. Free almost everyday and can move things around if needed on short notice. I am happy to drive a little to complete a visit too.

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-to-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Darlington. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighbourhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk.
