Get to know the person behind the walks.
Catherine McDonaldYour local Digs for Dogs walkerI love dogs and being outdoors, and I want your dog to enjoy their time with me. I’ll get to know them properly and pay attention to how they’re getting on, from the first hello onwards.
The Haughton Green Circular and the Tame Valley paths give me woodland and meadows to explore. I choose an outing that suits the dogs, with plenty to sniff and time for some fun along the way.
I offer small group walks, one-to-one walks and puppy visits. On walks, there’s time to sniff, play and enjoy some company. I’ll get to know what your dog likes and keep an eye on how they’re getting on.

“Catherine and Carl took our dog on quickly, very professional, very reliable all the way through, can't recommend them enough, he's a nervous little fella and they took excellent care of him and he always looked happy and tired after their walks, for reasonable priced dog care/walking in Denton you won't go wrong hiring them”
“Caring .. reliable .. trustworthy.. don’t know what we would do without her . Our 2 year old staffy Maya loves her group walks .. long may they continue. Thank you.”
“I have been using Catherine and Carl for about 5 months now and I can’t thank them enough. They are so professional in every thing they do but they are also so good with Honey our Labrador so loves them and they have helped her become more socially confident and are very flexible around my shifts.”
“Catherine and Carl are very friendly and Kobe immediately gets excited when they arrive to take him out. Great service!”
“We were referred to Catherine's dog walking services by a neighbor. We were initially concerned because our dog is very nervous, especially around new people. However, Catherine and her husband have been incredibly wonderful. They empathise with our concerns and worked through them.”
“Digs for dogs have been fantastic. They managed to fit my dog Archie in at short notice for walks. He loves going for his group walks and gets very excited waiting to set off. Thank you for making Archie happy. Very professional.”
“Catherine was willing to accommodate my dog for walking at very short notice. I feel confident that my dog is well looked after during her walk and I know when she returns, she has had a great time. Digs for Dog rates are extremely competitive and I would have no hesitation recommending them.”
“Excellent service and very reliable. Yogi loves his walks and being outside so having Catherine take him out while we’re at work gives us peace of mind he’s happy :-)”
