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: 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.

About: I grew up in the countryside in a family with dogs and cats and also chickens, ducks, sheep and even a pony, so I am very comfortable around all animals and have had both dogs and cats in my own family over the years. I do love both and do understand and enjoy the difference between them. I believe they all have their own identity and personality and it is up to us to encourage them to feel they can express themselves in a fulfilling way both for themselves and their owners and carers to enjoy. I have taken care of dogs and cats from puppies and kittens, through maternity and on to end of life care so have wide experience of caring for them through all stages of their life, from early exercise, socialising and training to simply spending quiet time together providing close comfort and companionship. I am currently free to devote all of my time to caring for our furry friends. I am very flexible and reliable, planning and hoping to make pet care a major part of my life from now on. I have a large Victorian terraced house with plenty of space and a safe walled rear courtyard for fresh air. I will only board one pet at a time so your pet will get all the attention and space he or she needs.

About: I have grown up with dogs my whole life, we’ve had 3 labradors and a terrier. I have also had experience walking multiple breeds and dog sat for multiple dogs at a time. I love dogs and as an active person love to get on a walk but also enjoy spending time with the dogs that need more attention. I am currently a student and an athlete so I do have quite a busy schedule, however fitting walks in during the day I can be flexible. Also most weeekends I would be free to board dogs. There are no dogs or children in my house. I have a fenced garden and then dog would not be left unattended. I will walk the dogs and make sure it feels comfortable.

About: As a dedicated pet parent to both a dog and a cat, I understand the love and care our furry friends need. With years of hands-on experience, I can provide attentive, reliable pet sitting tailored to your pet’s unique needs, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or extra patience for senior pets. 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: 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: Since young I have walked dogs here and there for others & as of recent have looked after a local man’s lovely cat at his house for a few weekends. I’m his reliable cat sitter & can be yours too! I’m more than happy to send frequent pictures & videos of your loved one whenever you want & will more often than not provide my own treats for them too! I work 3-4 days per week so frequently have days & nights that I can be caring for animals consistently! I work both days & nights and am flexible around this! I am more than happy to set up camp within your home or close too in order to be close and safe to your pets at all times! Depending on the animal & their care needs I may be able to house them in my own home however I do rent & have to be careful in terms of keeping the place clean!

About: I (Emily) have been a dog Walker / sitter for over 16 years, looking after every sort of dog, I love them all! My husband (Sam) and I have done home boarding on and off over the years but we recently lost our beautiful dog Lola, heartbroken and with a very quiet house we would love to start home boarding again. Your dog would bring us so much comfort and be absolutely spoilt rotten! My husband works from home full time and I am a dog Walker so your dog gets the best of both worlds, if they prefer to stay at home they will have the company of my husband and if they love their walks I can take them to work with me. Whether we are taking care of your pet in our home or yours, their safety is always our main priority. We will want to know as much about your pet as possible so we can give them the best care, making sure they will always be safe and happy.

FAQs for Dog Walking - Darlington

Frequently asked questions about Rover

The average cost for Dog Walking in Darlington on Rover is £19.55 per walk (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

As of July 2026, there are 933 sitters on Rover offering Dog Walking across Darlington. Enter your postcode to see which available sitters are closest to your home.

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. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poo and pee breaks, and distance travelled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Darlington.

Got specific details you'd like the dog walker to include? Message them in the app before your dog’s walk begins.

The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes dedicated customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement programme for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to £25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

Every walker on Rover must pass an identity verification before they can list their services. An identity verification confirms that the sitter is who they say they are based on their documents.

Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have.

Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement walker.
