Dogwalking Services

Our Service areas in Ottawa South include: Hunt Club, South Keys, Airport area & Uplands, Glebe, Alta Vista & Old Ottawa South

What we do:

We offer off-leash DogWalking adventures for dogs all year long!

During the summer the dog enjoy walking on the trail and running through the tall grass, and swimming to cool

off on those sweltering summer days. In the winter the pooches enjoy running and playing in the snow which gives them a fun and great workout.

Want your pal to join our pack?

Our Requirements:

All dogs must be friendly and social with other dogs.
Dogs must be fixed to join us.
Our walks are off-leash for optimum exercise & play so we'd prefer your dog to be ok off-leash and have good recall.
We offer our services in the Ottawa South including: Hunt Club, South Keys, Glebe, Walkley/Alta Vista
& Old Ottawa South. Unfortunately we do not cover Downtown, Centretown, Kanata, Orleans, West Ottawa or Ottawa East.
Our walks are group off-leash walks. We do not offer private/solo walks or puppy visits at this time.
We prefer dogs to be at least 8 months old, have all their updated shots, and also must be on monthly anti-parasite/heartworm prevention (Sentinel etc) even during the winter months.

Rates: $17 per walk for our daily adventures. Our walks are for a full hour, however your pooch will likely be out of the house for several hours (usually for a good part of the afternoon).

Note: We can't take dogs that are not used to being off-leash or those without good recall. For those who need to remain on leash, we recommend finding a pet sitter or solo-dog walker.

Benefits of hiring us to walk your dog:

Exercise- Important for your dog's health and overall happiness. We take your dog on a good hour long walk in the park. Our walks are off-leash, giving the dogs a chance to run around and get a good workout.
Lowers stress levels- especially for younger dogs.
Decreases behavioral problems- plenty of exercise helps with this
Tires your pooch out-your dog will be too pooped out to cause any havoc or chew things while you're gone.
Relieves boredom- the common cause for troubled behaviours.
Socializing- your pooch will get a chance to meet and play with many dogs of various ages and breeds. This is important for the social canine!

We provide the following on our adventures:

Exercise and playtime when you're at work
A ride to and from the park, and, if necessary we'll dry off your dog and clean up any messes.
Fresh water regularly as well as 'good-dog' treats, our homemade cookies (unless you tell us no treats).
Reinforcement of training he/she is undergoing with you, according to you instructions and suggestions.
A social atmosphere for your pooch in the park. In addition to our other furry pals, your dog will likely meet and play with other dogs we run into at the park.

If requested, we can feed your pooch when we drop him off. We do not have any staff so you can be assured that it will only be us walking your dog and picking him up. Please note that if we have to take time off, we do have several back up dog walkers (who run their own Dogwalking businesses) who help us out.

You can be assured we offer safe, excellent care of your furry pal! We've been in business for almost a decade, please read our testimonials to see what our clients have to say about us. And just let us know if you'd like a few references, we'd be happy to provide them.

Note: We do not go downtown, Kanata, Orleans, Ottawa West or New Edinburgh/Ottawa East. For these areas, check with your local pet store for referrals for a Dogwalker or pet sitter near you. Also, we only offer dogwalking at this time, we do not offer Pet Sitting, Day camp or Overnight Boarding services. Thank you.

Please give us a call or email if you have any questions, we'd love to hear to hear from you!
