Dog Walkers

Need to Hire a Dog Walker in Toronto? You’ve come to the right place.

Hiring a dog walker is often a great decision. Your dog will be happy, and you will be happy. Good all ’round, right? Absolutely, if you do your homework.

When you contact dog walkers to ask about their services, really try to get to know the walker. You need to feel comfortable with who you are hiring.

Certainly get references from the dog walker and be sure to check out those references! In addition to this list, get recommendations from other dog owners. Ask for referrals at your local dog park, or vet, or speak to all your friends and family about dog walkers they’ve used in the area.

Call dog walkers in your area and arrange to have meetings with those you are interested in hiring. Be sure to give yourself at least three options in case you have reservations about some that you’ve spoken with.

Ask a lot of questions of the dog walkers you call. For instance, you’ll want to ask how much experience they have, what qualifications they have and how they handle disciplining the dogs. Also, you’ll want to know how many dogs they walk at once, which parks they visit, poop handling (yes, gross but real), emergency plan, key management etc. Make a list of everything you want to know about the dog walker and their services and feel really comfortable before hiring anyone.
