From the Rat Race to the Dog Park
I’m Mark Williamson, and after 15 years in digital marketing, I finally decided to close the laptop for good.
As a long-term Northern Quarter resident, I’ve walked every inch of our backstreets a thousand times over. But I’ve realised that no matter how impressive the street art is, the view is always better when there’s a happy dog leading the way.
While I’m a proud "Cat Dad" at home, I grew up surrounded by big, powerful dogs. That early experience taught me exactly how to handle pups with a bit of muscle and a mind of their own. I might be new to the professional side of dog walking, but I’ve spent a lifetime building trust with animals—and 15 years learning how to be the most reliable person in the room. If you’re looking for a neighbour who’s calm, capable, and genuinely thrilled to be out of the office, I’m your man.
High-Energy Care & Active Walks
I know that for many city dogs, a slow stroll around the block isn't enough to burn off that apartment energy.
Because I’m physically fit and a keen runner, I’m more than happy to pick up the pace. Whether your dog needs a brisk power-walk or a high-tempo session to truly wear them out, I have the stamina to keep up. I’m also no stranger to large breeds; growing up with them taught me how to stay calm, confident, and in control, regardless of a dog's size or strength.
A Trusted Neighbor (In Any Weather)
Your dog is family, which is why I’ve made sure I am First Aid trained and fully prepared for the unexpected.
I’m at my best when I’m out in the elements. And because this is Manchester, I come fully waterproofed. I’m happy to head out into the drizzle or the downpours so your dog never has to miss their exercise just because the clouds rolled in. Rain or shine, I’m dedicated to getting them the fresh air they need.
Meet & Greet Sessions
While online profiles are a great start, nothing beats a face-to-face connection. To ensure the best possible care, I always arrange a Meet & Greet at your home before our first scheduled walk. This allows me to bond with your dog in their own environment and discuss their unique temperament, socialisation habits, and any specific requirements they might have.
