Dog Walkers in Willowdale

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with five years of hands-on experience raising my own Shiba Inu from a mischievous puppy into a well-behaved, happy adult. I gave her my whole heart—playing together every day and attending multiple training courses (for both of us!) so she could be the best girl. After a heartbroken breakup, she’s no longer with me now, and I miss her every single day. But I realized I can share that same love and care with other dogs. Beyond my own pup, I’ve cared for friends’ dogs of all sizes—from tiny teddy mixes to large-breed Dobermanns—making sure each one felt safe, loved, and well looked after. I’m comfortable with all sizes and personalities, and I make sure every dog feels safe, loved, and well cared for, with plenty of play, attention, and affection. I work from home, so I’m pretty flexible during the daytime (9 a.m.–5 p.m.). I’m usually wide open between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. during weekdays. I can pop out for several quick 30-minute walks during 9 to 5. I live alone with no kids or other pets, so it’s a calm space with no distractions. After 5 p.m. and during the weekend, I’m all yours for longer walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I live alone in a cozy, pet-friendly condo in a safe neighborhood with lots of families and young professionals around. My unit is on a high floor and sits behind the main street, so it stays quiet with minimal street noise - perfect for pets who like a calm space. I don’t have tall or high-heel furniture, so it’s safe for curious pets who like to jump or explore. My lifestyle is simple and peaceful - I cook lightly, have few electronic devices, and there are no children or other pets, so visiting pets get my full attention. Whether I’m caring for animals in my home or at a client’s, I keep their routine consistent and make sure they feel comfortable, loved, and well cared for.

“Seung ah , demonstrates a genuine understanding of how to care for dogs. She has walked my dog multiple times, and even my very particular dog has developed a clear fondness for her. I believe this is due to her kindness, attentiveness, and thoughtful nature:)!!”

About: Our family used to have 2 German Sheppard's when I'm a kid. Few years ago my brother adopted a Italian Cane Corso. I have spend time playing and walking with him. I'm currently retired, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pups and cats! I'm available for boarding and drop-in any time daily or weekly. I believe drop-in visit is best for the cat so they are less stressful in their familiar environment. I believed drop-in visits are best for cats so your feline friends will be more comfortable and relaxed by staying in their familiar environments. They will be less scared and stressed when you're not home.

“We are very pleased with Frederica's service. Our boxer Lucy loves spending time with her and is always excited to see her. Frederica is dependable, calm, and has connected positively with Lucy. We can rest assured that our dog is in good hands with her. We highly recommend her!”

“What an amazing feeling to leave your fur baby with someone who loves your pup like it is their own! Gian was fantastic! He and Roberta were punctual, called like we had asked when they were on their way so our Cooper was ready! I got daily pics and updates on exactly what he did as well as the route. It was so comforting as I felt like I was with them with all the information provided. I would not hesitate to refer them and will definitely use them again!!!!”

“Amazing dog walker! Yunni is very adaptable and can follow instructions with little to no questions. She also was able to meet up prior to the walk so both my dog and I can meet her which was great. Would definitely book again!”

About: I’ve lived with dogs most of my life and have over 13 years of hands-on pet care experience. I raised a Husky for nine years and also helped care for my sister’s Shiba Inu. Currently, I care for my partner’s 11-year-old senior Miniature Poodle who has vision limitations, which has made me especially attentive to safety, routine, and calm handling. Living in a multi-dog environment has taught me how different personalities, energy levels, and routines matter. While I don’t have formal training certification, I’m very patient, observant, and good at reading dogs’ body language. Over time, I’ve learned how to adjust my approach to each dog and genuinely enjoy keeping them safe, exercised, and comfortable. I prioritize calm, safe walks and tailor my pace and play style based on each dog’s age, personality, and needs. I offer full-time availability and a highly flexible schedule, allowing me to prioritize your pet's needs throughout the day. I am generally available from 6am to 10pm, accommodating everything from early morning walks to late-evening drop-ins. Whether you need a one-time visit or a consistent, recurring schedule, I can easily fit into your routine. Being a local resident in North York, I am reliable for both planned bookings and last-minute requests within my 1.2km walking radius. For dog walks, I prioritize a 'safety-first' approach. Regardless of a dog's training level, I always keep them on a leash during our outings to ensure total control and security in our busy North York neighborhood. I focus on calm, controlled walks tailored to each dog’s age and energy level, choosing safe routes and avoiding overcrowded areas to maintain a stress-free experience. When visiting your home, I follow your specific routines and instructions to the letter. I am highly respectful of your space and experienced with condo security protocols, fobs, and key handling. I pay close attention to body language—especially with senior dogs or those with special needs—to ensure they are comfortable and happy. You will receive detailed updates and photos during every visit so you can have total peace of mind.

About: I have experience with dogs of all ages, puppies, senior dogs and everything in between. I look at the dog's body language and adjust as needed. I'm also very mindful of your furry friend's food allergies or sensitivities. And I love to support any training that you already have going on. I have my own almost 2 year old sassy girl. My default though, for walks and in home visits will be to attend without her so that your doggy gets 100% of my attention. If you’d like to have a playmate for your dog though, let me know and I’ll be happy to bring her (she loves playing or walking with other dogs). I'm available for walks or drop-in visits (I try to keep my calendar up to date). I have my own doggy, but I love helping other dog owners when I can, since my schedule is usually flexible. I am in a pet-friendly condo, so I'm very mindful of taking dogs out frequently for their needs. I'm also very mindful of behavioural issues like resource guarding or reactivity.

About: I’ve been caring for cats since 2018, starting with my roommate’s cat, who taught me everything about building trust, gentle handling, feeding routines, and even trimming nails safely. About two years ago, we adopted our own cat, Narinose, who is truly an angel. We take her care seriously—I follow scientific feeding guidelines, calculate her daily calorie needs, and feed her three times a day to keep her healthy and happy. I also maintain a very clean environment: her litter box is cleaned three times a day, and her bedding is replaced weekly. With years of consistent, hands-on experience and a lot of love for cats, I treat every pet as if they were my own. My husband and I are currently working from home 4 times a week, so we spend a lot of time with our cat, and we can give the care that you want during the week. We live in a high rise condo, and we allow cat to run around the entire place. We keep the door closed so the cat does not run out to the balcony or outside. The cat sleeps in the living room at night and have its own space to poop and her own water fountain and eating place.

About: I’ve always been the go-to person among my friends for dog sitting and walks — their pets know me almost as well as they know their own families! Over time, I’ve cared for dogs with all kinds of personalities — from playful puppies to older dogs who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is how much attention I give to each pet’s comfort and routine. I take the time to understand their habits, favorite toys, and any little quirks that make them unique. Whether it’s keeping up with high-energy pups on long walks or helping senior dogs feel calm and comfortable, I treat every pet as if they were my own. You can always count on me for reliability, patience, and genuine care — the kind that makes both pets and their people feel at ease. ⸻ I’m a very outdoorsy person, so spending time with dogs fits perfectly into my day. I love getting outside for walks, hikes, and visits to off-leash parks where dogs can safely run and play. My schedule is quite flexible, which means I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine — whether that’s early morning walks, mid-day visits, or evening cuddles. I’m always happy to make sure your dog gets plenty of exercise, fresh air, and attention throughout the day. My home is clean, organized, and completely pet-friendly — dogs are welcome to use every corner of it just like their own home. I want them to feel comfortable, relaxed, and part of the family. There’s also an off-leash park just a 15-minute walk away, perfect for safe playtime and exercise. Whether we’re at home or outdoors, I always make sure pets are supervised, hydrated, and happy. Safety and comfort are my top priorities, so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands.

“Aileen was prompt and made sure to ask any pertinent questions before the first walk with Chase. He came back happy from his walk and I would not hesitate to book Aileen for services.”

About: I have 5 years of experience working with large and small dogs taking care of friends and family dogs over these years. I’m from the UK where I have had my beautiful husky since she was a puppy and have experience in training her in being obedient with great recall! I’m incredibly passionate about building trust with all ages of dogs and ensuring all dogs feel comfortable in my care. I’m always patient in giving them time to get to know me and would happily work with you to allow your dog to feel confident! I’m working from home and would be able to dedicate my time to the care of your pet. I’m dedicated to taking care of your pets over the weekend and I will always try my best to fit this into your pets routine. I will fully respect my clients home and ensure that everything is well taken care of. I will make sure to take time with your pet in trusting me in their space and will make sure to know when they might not feel comfortable. I’m always looking to make sure the owner feels comfortable that I am in their home and how best to take care of their pet.

“We are so lucky to have Hannah to walk our dog Tamago for the past few months. She’s so professional, kind and personable. Tamago loves Hannah and Stephen, and she always came back happy and tired after. Hannah even once helped clean up Tamago’s vomit without us asking and communicated with us about her condition right away. We would highly recommend her to anyone!”
