A Dog Walker & Sitter You Can Trust

Hi! My name is Kat. I am a dog walker and dog sitter in Toronto, and I love what I do. I am a reliable and honest person, who is extremely passionate about working with dogs. I have a range of professional experience in the industry, as you will see below in my list of qualifications, from working in a vet clinic to my current job as a Dog Trainer for Who's Walking Who. I decided to start Build A Bond Dog Services, so people would have someone with professional experience that they can trust to walk or board their dog in a fun and caring environment.

Service Area
I offer dog walking, puppy visits, and boarding in my home to the East end of Toronto, such as Riverdale, the Danforth, Leslieville, the Beach, and East York. Click here to see a map of where you'll find our paw prints.

About Us
At Build A Bond, building a trusting relationship with you and your dog is a priority. It is so important to us that you feel confident and comfortable leaving your furry companion in our care. The health and safety of your dog is always put first. We have policies in place that require all the dogs to be up-to-date on their shots and healthy. Additionally, we carefully assess all dogs behaviourally that enter our services to ensure that they are friendly and get along well with other dogs they may not know.

Build A Bond Dog Services is a registered company that is bonded and insured. Furthermore, our walkers and sitters are pet first aid certified.

There is NO OBLIGATION when using our services. You are free to use us on a regular or as needed basis. Booking a regular schedule with our dog walker guarantees your schedule each week.

It is our responsibility, as your dog walker or sitter, to inform you of anything abnormal that we notice about your dog while in our service. For example, if "Fido" has a runny poop on his dog walk, we will leave you a note the day of to let you know.

We love to use natural dog treats! They promote trust between the dog walker and your dog. They also encourage a nice sit at a stop light or road crossing.

We welcome little dogs, big dogs, furry dogs and hairless dogs into our services. Every dog is an individual, and that is how we assess them during our Meet & Greet. Click here to book a complimentary Meet & Greet for you and your dog today!
