Dog Walker in The Village
The village, right in the heart of Manchester, is one of the most vibrant areas in the city. With busy streets, nightlife, and apartments, it takes a trusted dog walker who knows the area well to keep dogs safe and happy.

Local Walking Routes in The Village
The Village can be lively and crowded, so we plan safe routes nearby that give dogs proper exercise without stress.
Rochdale Canal
Running through the edge of The Village, the canal path is ideal for relaxed, traffic-free walks.
Ashton Canal
For longer walks, the Ashton Canal offers open routes with fewer distractions and safe paths.
Clayton Vale
When dogs need more space, we use Clayton Vale — a large green area with quiet trails away from the city centre.
We avoid the busiest nightlife areas and main roads, ensuring each walk is calm and enjoyable.

Settling In Period
Every new dog starts with a settling-in period. We usually ask clients to be home on the first day, but key access can also be arranged through a concierge, advance collection, or drop-off at our office.
All settling-in walks are charged at £18, the same as standard walks. If after a few walks it doesn’t feel like the right fit, we can stop with no extra fees.
Flexible Support for The Village Pet Owners
Walks run 09:00–17:00, Monday to Friday. For shorter visits, we also offer dog sitting and puppy visits. Our pet taxi service covers The Village and wider Manchester.
