Dog Walking Tameside

“I was looking for a walker to replace my only walker I’ve had in three and a half years who had a perfect 100% record so big shoes to fill. Matthew has made the transition to new walker for Kevin(3 1/2 yo staffie) so seamless I’ve barely noticed the difference.Excellent timekeeping and great communication with a thorough Rover report card and checking to see if mine and Kevin’s needs are met. I will be using Matthew as my new regular weekly walker and I would highly recommend him to look after you furry friend.”

About: I’ve been a huge animal lover all my life; owning dogs, cats, reptiles & guinea pigs over the years. I’m experienced from large breed dogs (my own girl was a GSDxLab), to small breed dogs (regularly boarded a little pug called Marcy). I can’t wait to spend time with your fur babies and provide them the love and enrichment they need while you work!! Currently working a 4 day shift pattern, which can change from week to week, but I’ll update my availability to reflect this. I live close to lots of green space so there’s lots of options for long & short walks, and I also drive so I’m more than happy to take them on a big day out if that’s preferred. I have a large, fenced off garden with a padlocked gate. The house also has multiple security cameras too, covering all entry points. I don’t have crates, but I have plenty of space for them if provided. Your fur baby would have full access in the house, I don’t mind them exploring or using furniture.

“Chloe’s communication is great, my pup always looks like he’s had a fun walk from the photos, she makes sure he’s settled after the walk before she leaves and he sleeps all day afterwards! Definitely recommend!”

“Nicola swooped in when I couldn’t walk my dog and needed 3 last minute bookings. She was so responsive, and very grounded in response to Friday deciding to have a bit of a strike. Thank you!!”

“Absolutely fantastic service, will definitely be booking with Elizabeth again. Bang on time, Hexem loved her and she even helped us out when he had an accident in the house.”

About: I had a family dog since I was a teenager for 12 years and have looked after them in my spare time ever since. Now in my thirties, I've gained a lot of experience with dogs of many different ages, breeds and temperaments. I'm currently available pretty much whenever you need, for whatever you need. Whether it be just a few hours or a few days, I'm happy to help!I I live on a quiet, dog friendly cut-de-sac with lots of parks nearby. And I have a fenced garden, with plenty of space for your pup to run around and play.

About: My names Amy & I have two beautiful dogs called Narla and Mika! Narla is an XL Bully and Mika is a Patterdale Terrier. I have loved animals ever since I was only a few years old, ranging from Cats, dogs, gerbils, degu’s, skinny pigs and many more! I have worked with many different breeds with many different temperaments. Every dog is different and that’s what makes them all special in their own little way. I’m currently working part time, meaning I have time both before and after my shift to care for your pets. Whether that’s for a cuddle or a feed! I am DBS checked, have pet first aid and many other animal qualifications meaning my knowledge of pets wellbeing and what to do in the harder situations is advanced!

“Megan is fabulous!! She’s been walking our Foxy now for a couple of weeks and takes such good care of her. It’s great to have such good communication and have such detailed reports with gorgeous pictures during a busy day at work! Thanks so much Megan, Foxy loves you!! 🤩🐾”

About: I have grown up with pets all my life. Family and friends would let me look after their pets if it was needed. I have earned my degree in wildlife conservation so I have a passion and love for all animals. In March 2026, i come back from travelling where i volunteered in different countries look after and caring for animals. I currently work part time on weekends but I finish no later than 4pm. So I am free most weekdays, at any time. I drive so distance is not a problem I have some experience in animal training. I have help trained family and friends pets from lead training to toilet training. As well as knowledge on animal welfare and over all care.

About: I’ve helped my partner look after many different types of dogs over the last few years, from German Shepherds to Teacup Dachshunds. I’m now looking for dog walking opportunities of my own. I have owned dogs for 35 years and I’m currently the owner of an 8 year old Springer Spaniel and a 10 year old miniature Yorkshire Terrier (these 2 won’t be joining me on the walks). I’m willing to offer solo dog walks where required. I’m currently studying Counselling and splitting care for my elderly father with my family, this allows me some free time during the week to fit in local dog walking. I always walk other people’s dogs on a lead and try and cover as much ground as possible to give the dog and myself a good amount of exercise (unless the dog is elderly or I have been given precise instructions on how to walk a dog)

About: Hi, I'm Donna, a lifelong dog lover with over 15 years of experience owning and caring for dogs and other pets. Friends and family regularly trust me to look after their dogs when they go away, so I have experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes and exercise needs. I currently have a 5-year-old neutered Cocker Spaniel called Brodie. He is a loving, friendly and well-socialised dog who enjoys having other dogs around. He has a very calm temperament, is well behaved, doesn't chase wildlife and is happily relaxed around cats. Dogs staying with me become part of the family and receive plenty of love, attention and exercise. I provide multiple walks every day, as well as lots of playtime, enrichment and cuddles. At weekends, I often head out on longer adventures in the Peak District with dogs who enjoy exploring and longer walks. Equally, if your dog prefers shorter, quieter strolls, I'm happy to tailor their care to suit their individual needs. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else can be a big decision, so I always aim to make them feel safe, comfortable and at home. I'll also keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your dog is happy and well cared for. I work from home full-time, which means I can provide plenty of company, supervision and attention throughout the day. Dogs in my care are rarely left alone and quickly become part of my daily routine. Every lunchtime, I take a 45-minute woodland walk, giving dogs the opportunity to stretch their legs, explore and enjoy some fresh air. After I finish work at 4pm, I head out again for a longer walk of around an hour in the local woodland, ensuring plenty of exercise and enrichment each day. Most Saturdays, weather permitting, are spent exploring the beautiful trails of the Peak District. If the weather isn't ideal, we enjoy longer walks along the River Mersey instead. These outings provide plenty of opportunities for adventure, sniffing, socialisation and exercise for dogs that enjoy being active. I understand that every dog is different, so I always tailor walks, activities and care to suit their age, energy levels and individual needs, ensuring they feel happy, comfortable and at home while staying with me. 🐾 Your dog's safety and wellbeing will always be my top priority. I work from home full-time, so dogs in my care receive plenty of supervision, company and attention throughout the day and are rarely left alone. I have a secure, fenced garden where dogs can safely play, explore and enjoy time outdoors. Inside the home, dogs are treated as part of the family and have access to comfortable spaces to relax and feel at home. There is also plenty of space within the house to separate dogs if needed, whether for mealtimes, rest periods or if they simply prefer their own space. My dog Brodie is a loving, well-socialised dog who enjoys the company of other dogs and has a very calm temperament. He doesn't chase wildlife and is relaxed around other animals, including cats. I always follow each dog's usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, exercise requirements and any special instructions provided by their owners. Every dog is different, and I believe they deserve individual care, attention and lots of love while they're away from home. 🐾

I work from home full-time, which means dogs are rarely left alone and receive plenty of supervision, attention and companionship throughout the day.

I adapt routines to suit individual dogs, whether they prefer active days, quiet companionship or a little of both. I am flexible with feeding schedules, medication requirements and established routines to help your dog feel comfortable and settled during their stay. At Ruby’s Retreat, dogs stay in a calm family home with secure outdoor space and are treated as part of the family. I carefully manage introductions and group dynamics to ensure dogs are well matched and comfortable with one another.

Dogs are welcome on furniture and have access to both indoor and outdoor spaces throughout the day. However, I am always happy to follow an owner’s preferred rules and routines to maintain consistency. Regular photo and video updates are provided throughout your dog’s stay, giving you complete peace of mind while you’re away.

About: I’ve taken care of pets for the majority of my life whether it be my own cats or family and friends dogs and cats. I’ve always loved taking care of animals and helping out so taking them for walks or looking after them for periods of time when needed, making sure they’re happy and well looked after brings me so much joy. I am currently working from home trying to start my own photography business so i am very flexible and can provide drop in visits/ walking services whenever needed. I will always keep your dogs safe and on the lead when on walks, as well as always checking with you on whether your dogs are okay to interact with other dogs on the walk or not, if they are i will always keep an eye on body language and other signs of stress when they are around other dogs. Your dogs safety and happiness is my main priority when looking after them When doing drop in visits i will make sure your cat/dog has food in their bowl, has been to the toilet and has had a good amount of play/cuddle time. I am happy to do drop in visits for longer if you need me to! as long as both you and your furry friend are happy then i don’t mind!. I will also make sure the house is safe, ensuring doors and windows are locked upon leaving.

About: I've taken care of family and friends' dogs from a young age. Particularly my grandma's border collie mutt regularly through my teenage years. I have dog-sat amd walked a lovely german shepherd girl in the past. While I'm doing some self-directed study my calendar is wide open for cat care and dog walks :) I'm currently studying on my own part-time schedule so I have plenty of time to take care of pets. I'm available all week though I do need go return to my house to also look after my own fur babies :) I am a naturally quiet person, which works well for introducing myself to new cats. During visits I would feed your pet(s), stay while they enjoy their meal and give them a nice play time once they are finished. My cats keep to separate spaces and I would ensure each pet in the home gets the attention they need.

“Very pleasant young lady. I booked Yarah to take my dog out for a midday walk. The meet and greet went great and she was eager to learn all she could about my dogs personality and his temperament. After the walk she discussed everything with me and was open and honest about how it went. Would definitely recommend Yarah she is passionate about all animals.”
