We serve East York and the Upper Beaches. Walks are at 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.
