Cheshire’s dog-walking scene, like a lot of counties, leans heavily on marketplace apps — Rover, Pawshake, Bark, Gudog. We’ve left those unclaimed profiles out and only listed businesses we could verify through their own website, genuine independent reviews, or a recognised trade body. Our Cheshire hub page covers trainers and vets if that’s what you’re after instead.
Verified dog walkers
Scamps and Champs – Macclesfield branch
Covering Macclesfield, Alderley Edge, Wilmslow, Poynton and Congleton, run locally by carer Alison (Scamps and Champs’ own site — use the “Find Your Local Branch” page for Macclesfield), the business is a member of NARPS-UK and the FSB, with all carers DBS-checked, insured and canine first-aid trained. Multiple independent reviews specifically name the Macclesfield branch and Alison.
Petmates Chester
Run by Ellie, covering Chester and surrounding villages including Vicars Cross, Hoole, Upton, Christleton, Handbridge and Blacon (Petmates Chester’s own site), the business states it’s fully insured and shares named, specific testimonials from local clients.
My Best Friend Dog Care – Chester
Run by franchisee Stephen Abson, covering central Chester and areas including Hoole, Boughton, Saltney, Tarvin and Broughton (My Best Friend Dog Care – Chester), the branch states a clean DBS check is held and displays named local client testimonials.
Cheshire Dog Lady – Audlem & Nantwich area
Covering Audlem, Hankelow, Hatherton and Buerton in south Cheshire, this one-person service was covered by a local AudlemOnline news article when it expanded into the village, and is independently listed on dogfriendly.co.uk. The business states it’s fully insured, DBS-checked and canine first-aid trained — worth confirming details directly on 07900 008868, as we couldn’t independently verify that specific number.
Where we came up empty
Northwich, Winsford, and standalone Knutsford, Crewe and Sandbach searches turned up only unclaimed marketplace profiles with no independent website or review to back them up, so we haven’t listed anyone for those towns specifically. If you’re based there, Scamps and Champs’ Macclesfield branch is the nearest verified option, or ask around locally — a dog walker with genuine local reviews is worth more than any directory badge.
While you’re sorting dog care, our Cheshire vets guide is worth having to hand, and a good walking routine pairs well with the right nutrition — we rate the Calmdogs probiotic chews at Calmshops, though it’s always worth checking with your vet first.
