Dog Walking & Pet Care in Northumberland

Good Dog Walking provides professional dog walking and pet care services across Morpeth, Ashington, Amble, Hexham, Ponteland, Gosforth and surrounding areas of Northumberland and the North East.

We have local walkers covering different locations, so please contact us to check availability in your postcode.

Where possible, we aim to provide a regular dog walker so your dog can build a familiar and trusting relationship with them.

If your usual walker is unavailable due to holidays or other commitments, we'll do our best to arrange suitable cover from another member of our local network.

We use Pet Sitter Plus, our online booking system, which allows customers to register their pets, request services and manage their bookings.

Once registered, you can provide important information about your pet's routine, behaviour and individual care requirements.

All bookings are subject to availability and confirmation.

We operate within agreed two-hour arrival windows to allow our walkers to manage their schedules and travel between appointments.

Although we cannot guarantee an exact arrival time, we'll always consider your pet's individual requirements when arranging care.

At Good Dog Walking, we limit group walks to a maximum of six dogs per walker.

We carefully consider each dog's temperament, behaviour and suitability for group walks to help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

Group walks can be a great way for sociable dogs to enjoy exercise, companionship and outdoor enrichment.

However, not every dog is suited to group walking. We consider your dog's temperament, confidence and behaviour before recommending the most appropriate service.

For dogs that prefer their own space, we also offer individual dog walks.
