- Do you offer private dog walks in East York?
- Yes. I offer private dog walks across our East York service area for puppies, seniors, reactive dogs, and any dog who does best with one-on-one attention and a tailored pace. I also provide in-home pet sitting visits.
- Do you offer group dog walks in East York?

- Are you an insured and first-aid certified dog walker in East York?
- Yes, I'm fully insured through ProFur and certified in pet first aid through Walks 'N' Wags. Your pup's safety is always a top priority.
- How do you work with reactive dogs?
- I have experience working with reactive dogs and always prioritize your dog's emotional and physical safety. During our meet & greet, we'll discuss your dog's specific triggers and comfort level to create a personalized care plan. I may recommend smaller group walks, additional space within the pack, or other adjustments to help your dog feel more secure and set up for success.
- How will I know how my dog's walk went?
- You'll receive a short update after every walk with a summary of how things went—including potty breaks, mood, and any highlights. I'll also send photos so you can see the fun firsthand.
- Is a meet & greet required?
- Yes, all new clients begin with a free meet & greet. It's a relaxed way to get to know each other, talk through your dog's routine, and help your pup feel comfortable before their first walk. Book your free meet & greet.
