What our clients (both furry & human) are saying about us:
A passionate dog lover and
owner, Al is no stranger to dogs! Born and raised in the Yukon, he's also
used to being outdoors and inclement weather. While living in Whitehorse he
took dogs for walks, hikes and swimming throughout the wilderness of
Canada's rugged North! He's been a Dog walker in Ottawa since 1999, taking
his doggie friends to the park whether it's a bitterly cold winter day with
a wind-chill of -20 or a hot, sweltering summer afternoon. Al started
DogWalking in 1999.
Al considers his job a walk in the park, literally! "You know you've got a great job when your customers are so happy to see you that they nearly knock you over with excitement!" he says. When he picks up his doggie friends for their daily adventure, his clients say their pooch goes crazy with excitement and run towards the door as soon as they hear his Dogmobile coming up their driveway.
He looks forward to meeting you & your pooch.
Testimonials
From Daisy & Trevor
"We'd like to thank you for providing such wonderful care of Belle while we were on vacation this past Spring. It was heartwarming that you took the time to post photo's of Belle while we were away. We really enjoyed being able to log on and see that she was happy and healthy.
As most dog owners can appreciate, it is very difficult to leave your pet while you are on vacation and even more so to leave your pet for the first time. We were so pleased to have Belle cared for in such a pet friendly and loving home. When we arrived to pick her up, she was hesitant to even go with us and would go back to Al's leg and try to get him to take her in his arms.
This was a sure sign that Belle had bonded and was treated very well. We strongly recommend Happy Doggie to anyone who is looking for a wonderful vacation spot for their dog while they are out of town. If you wish to further discuss our experience, please contact us at daize32@hotmail.com

From Tracy, Bear's Human Friend:
Dear Al,
Leaving any child at home is traumatic for all involved. Key to the well-being of all" is a
caregiver who is honest, dependable, and most of all willing to give of themselves.
The relationship you have developed with Bear has warmed our hearts and home. When we
return from work, Bear is happy to see us, but many times he gives us a good "licking" greeting
and goes to sleep (pooped from his walks with you, we assume).
To us you are not a dog-walker, but a caregiver, and it shows in everything you do. It’s the
little conversations you have with Bear (and Meika -’meow’), the way you carefully introduced
him to the dogs in the car, toweling him off when you bring him home (a habit now for him),
and the ever-ready smile that shows you enjoy the companies of our babies as much as we do.
Just as any caregiver helps to shape and mould young minds and character, you have played a
guiding role in Bear’s development as well.
Thank you for not only walking Bear, but walking with him.
Tracy
Since founding my dog walking company in 1999, I've strived to provide only the best service to my customers, whether they've got two legs or four!
I knew I had succeeded when I received the above letter from one of my earliest client's, Tracy, back in 1999.
If you've used our services, we'd love to know
what you think!
