Rooted on the farm, at home in the city
Paws & Pathways was built on a lifetime around animals, starting on a farm, where caring for them was simply part of everyday life.
Our promise is simple. We’ll treat your dog like our own. We’ll keep groups small, show up on time and keep you in the loop. If something doesn’t feel right, just tell us and we’ll fix it.
— Francis, owner
Where do you walk?
We serve East York and the Upper Beaches. Walks are at local east end parks, including Stan Wadlow, Monarch Park, Taylor Creek Park or Woodbine Beach.
What times are walks?
We usually run two walks a day: 11:30 am to 12:30 pm and 1:00 to 2:00 pm. Evening walks are also available.
How do you choose which dogs walk together?
We match dogs by size, energy and temperament. Groups never go over 6 dogs.
Will my dog be off leash?
No. Every dog stays on leash, every walk. We recommend a well-fitted harness.
What's the difference between a group walk and a private walk?
A group walk is with up to 5 other dogs. A private walk is just your dog and us.
How do you get into my home?
With a key or door code. Keys never have your address on them. Codes are stored securely.
What if it rains or snows?
We still walk, unless it's unsafe. We'll towel your dog off before they go back inside.
Do you pick up poop?
Always. We bring the bags.
What does my dog need for boarding?
Their food, leash, any medications, and a favourite toy or blanket if they have one.
What do I need to get started?
Fill out the contact form. At the meet & greet, we'll ask for vaccination records and your vet's contact information.
How do I pay?
We send an invoice every week.
What if I need to cancel?
Please give us 24 hours' notice.
