WalkDogs.ca is a professional, fully insured dog walking company serving Toronto's west end. We're not a gig app. We run established routes for regular clients, our walkers are Pet First Aid & CPR certified, and every walk is covered by commercial insurance.

The Work

We contract walkers on a per-walk basis. Available services include:
Pack walks (maximum 5 dogs)
Private and semi-private walks
15-minute puppy and senior visits

Most walks fall in the midday window, roughly 11am to 3pm. You take the routes that work for your schedule. Walkers who can commit to the same routes consistently earn the most, because clients book recurring service and route density means less travel between stops.

What the Role Involves
Completing booked walks and visits within the agreed service window
Handling keys and building access securely
Logging each visit in Time To Pet with photos and notes. Clients read these, and they're a big part of why they stay
Flagging health, behaviour, or home-access issues promptly

What We're Looking For




Real dog-handling ability — reading body language, managing a small pack on busy sidewalks
Reliability. Clients book recurring routes and expect the same walker
Comfortable on foot in all four seasons
Transparent written communication
Own smartphone and transportation
Clean background check and ability to be covered under our commercial policy
Pet First Aid & CPR certification preferred; we'll help you get certified if you don't have it

Skilled walking experience is preferred but not required. Strong personal dog handling experience plus genuine reliability counts.

Pay: From $19.00 per hour

Expected hours: No less than 10.0 per week

Advantages:
Casual dress
