Dog walking packages are used for regularly scheduled walks on a set schedule and frequency. On the first walk of your package, the dog walker will bring a tracking sheet to your house and note each walk with times and comments.

Canceling a walk

Please email us at [email protected] or call us at 514-564-3647 at least 48 hours before the walk you are changing.

Same day cancellations cannot be processed and the scheduled walk will be counted as “completed” and billed in full.

Adding a walk

If you need to add a walk, outside of your regularly scheduled package, please contact us a minimum of 48 hours in advance. Additional a la carte walks, are private walks and are billed separately.

Last minute (under the required 48 hours notice) service requests incur a $20 administrative rush fee.

We cannot guarantee that a dog walker or pet sitter will be available for same day service requests, but every effort will be made to accommodate your pet’s needs.

We offer the following group walking time frames. A specific time cannot be guaranteed for group walks.

• Morning – 9am to 11am
• Midday – 11:30am to 2pm
• Afternoon – 3pm to 5pm

Extended Hours

We may be able to schedule private walks as early as 8am and as late as 9pm depending on your location. Please contact us to check on walkers availability.

We pick up your dog from your home and go on a little adventure around your neighborhood.

We create calmness and relaxation by providing exercise for all fitness levels and by channeling our own energy into a peaceful and enjoyable walking experience for our dogs.

Based on the dog’s personality and activity level, we do anything from a leisurely stroll, to playing games of fetch and tug, or we go on a fast paced walk, all while socializing them with their own kind.

We walk your dogs in your neighborhood. We take recommendations from the owners as to favorite routes and neat passageways that the dog likes.

If a client requests that their dog be walked somewhere specific that is far away, a special arrangement will have to be made as most of our walkers do not have a car. We like to stay green as much as possible. This is about walking, after all ?

We walk all breeds, sizes, ages and activity levels. We do not discriminate. The only prerequisite is that the dogs are socialized, not aggressive towards any dogs or humans, and walk well on leash.

Groups are formed slowly and selected very carefully to match not only in personality and energy level, but also physical strength and the comfort level of the walker.

If a walker feels that a dog is not suited for, or not enjoying the group walks, they will communicate that to the owners and private walks can be arranged.

With our emphasis on behavior and training, our groups cannot be big. We usually walk 2 to 4 dogs, and that is only if the 4^th dog comes from the same household as others in the group, and that particular group has a good chemistry for walking and playing together.

We feel that walking more than 3 or 4 dogs on regular basis is unsafe and does not allow for the necessary level of attention to detail and training for each dog. In an urban setting, pedestrians, multiple leashes, squirrels, bicycles, skaters, traffic, alley cats, and the like do not mix well.

You have to be alert and focused at all times, think of all the “what ifs,” and be able to respond to them in fractions of a second (that’s how fast the dogs will respond). That is why our team feels that walking large groups of dogs in the city is stressful for everyone involved and inconsiderate to other pedestrians.

We do not use retractable leashes as they do not promote good walking habits. We use regular 4’ to 6’ leashes, one leash per dog, no couplers, knots or bag holders.

We may use the dog’s own leash if it’s not too long or too cumbersome, but we may replace it with one of our own for comfort and ease during the walk. Every dog walker has their own preference of thickness and materials that they carry with them.

We do not use prong or electric collars and will advise dog’s owner if we feel that the dog’s collar is unsafe for any reason, be it sizing, strength of material, or otherwise. We will use training collars chosen by the owner while the puppy is still learning to walk on leash, but will faze them out as they become unnecessary.
