Dog walking
Our group dog walks are one hour in the park plus travel time and we customize our dog walks to fit your dog’s needs. By this we mean we won’t put your puppy with a group of senior dogs! Our small dogs walk together, our senior dogs walk together and our hyper-never-run-out-of-energy-go-go-go dogs run together!
The whole experience of being picked up, traveling in a car with other dogs, going on a walk in a park, trail or ravine and then coming back home is one of the most important experiences a dog will have. Over time your dog will develop friendships and bond with other dogs as well as meet and adjust to new dogs coming in to the pack/group. This high stimulation and social environment is something regular group walks provide and is the difference between taking your dog for a walk and having Absolutely Dog walk your dog.
We ask for a minimum commitment of three days per week so that your pet can properly become part of the pack/group.
Service Area:
Our service area is broad and the boundaries are not strictly defined. It is roughly from Bathurst to Don Mills and from Finch to Bloor. If you are not within these boundaries but are somewhere close and not quite sure then definitely contact us!

Doggie Daycare
Daycare is our fastest growing service. It has become a great option for many of our clients, including:
For you: our daycare option is a stress release. We will pick up your dog early and drop her/him off at the end of the day so you don’t have to worry about rushing home from work, dinner or a movie. We are happy to feed your pet at the end of the day.
For your pet: We will customize your dog’s day according to his or her needs. Most of our daycare clients go on two group walks per day (sometimes three!) but this depends on your dog’s age, energy level, extreme weather...

Puppy Visits
A puppy visit includes a potty break, feeding and a little play time! Puppy visits are a great way for us to start to bond with your pet. They last between 15–30 minutes per visit and we usually do two visits per day.

Boarding
We provide in-home boarding for our regular clients.
When we bought our house family and friends were stunned to learn that the best room in the house was going to the dogs. After an extensive renovation our dog area is open concept, above ground level and has direct access to our backyard. Whether it is one night or three weeks we are here for your pet while you are away. We have been boarding dogs for some of our clients for over eight years. So, for some, our home really is a “home away from home.” We only use crates for dogs who are regularly crated at home. Typically, our boarders sleep either on dog beds or the couch!
Boarding dogs are incorporated in to our regular group walks.
