Muddy Baby recently joined us for one hour long private walks, or what I like to call the sniff and stroll! A walk for a dog is about so much more than exercise. It’s all about the smells! Muddy Baby is one of our many dogs on private walks that pick that option for that reason. They can sniff and stroll and smell the world, offering huge enrichment! We welcome and love you already, Muddy Baby!!
Welcome Scooby: The "Uber" K9 Kate's Dog
Scooby dooby doo, we welcome YOU!
This Seaton Village pup was referred to us by our friends at Uber Dog and we’re so happy they thought of us. Scooby started with a private walk to ensure everything would be as smooth as possible for his first group walk. He probably didn’t even need it though :) This guy is a total love bug. Thanks for choosing K9 Kate’s to be your new Toronto dog walker, and welcome, buddy!
The Best of Ponders the Best Of: Our 2025 Recommendations
K9 Kate’s has received numerous accolades over the years for our force free dog walking, training and specialized services like the Re-Treat, a “positive” alternative to board and trains.
As someone who values excellence, I don’t take our client recommendations lightly, whether it’s a client referral to another company or what harness to purchase. Below are some of my favourite things this year. Check out the links and, fellow, Torontonians: stay warm, safe and surrounded by dogs!

Welcome Back and Welcome Barley!
We hope everyone enjoyed the break. Adorable pictures of our boarders can be found on our Instagram (@k9katetoronto) :) While the pawliday coziness was taking place, this Queen West pup joined our solo walks 2x/day so he could walk and sniff and sample all of snow at his own rate :) Barley, we like that about you and are thrilled to welcome you to our walks!

Thanks for choosing K9 Kate’s to be your Toronto dog walker, Charlie. We are looking forward to many adventures together!
Welcome Coco, the Bernadoodle Puppy!
This adorable Little Italy puppy was referred to us by our friends at When Hounds Fly and I am proud to say that she continues to soar to new heights with the K9 Kate team.
Coco will be on puppy visits for about two months and then look at joining group as she leaves her official puppy days behind her. We are so happy Coco and her family were referred to us and that we get to spend time with such nice dogs each and every day. Welcome Coco!
Welcome Tucker, the Trinity Bellwoods Shih Tzu/Pomeranian Mix!
This little munchkin has been walking with K9 Kate’s since the summer both in the parks offleash and on the streets in small groups. We love him … and we aren’t afraid to show it!

Welcome to Private Walks Puffy and Casper, the Annex Superstars!
These two cuties joined us for private walks earlier this summer. They then went travelling like all lucky dogs but will be back rocking their dog walks come September. Welcome Puffy and Casper!
K9 Kate's Included in Best Toronto Dog Walkers' Lists Again x2
We are thrilled to announce that K9 Kate’s received nominations from The Toronto Star (which none of us saw until after the deadline and missed the chance to tell our clients to vote… because we were working) and another shout out from torontoblogs.ca for being the best of the best when it comes to Toronto dog walking.
Why us? Force free, a small team so you always have a walker, unique services designed to change the game (like the Re-treat and training with walker integration), complimentary meet and greets, a user friendly automated booking and messaging system that couldn’t make things easier and error free for the client, and a one in a million team and group of dogs.
Thank you for supporting us for close to a decade now. We will always be there for you and the dogs as you’ve been there for us!
Welcome to Adventure Walks Zuki, the Harbord Village Australian Shepherd
Zuki has been walking with us for about one month and we just love him! Here he is at Ramsden park with his regular crew Forrest, Billie, Penny and Basil in what is clearly a family portrait :)
We’re so grateful to get to work with such incredible dogs. Zuki (and his pawrents): thank you for choosing K9 Kate’s to be your Toronto dog walker and for keeping it positive (reinforcement)!
Your 2024 Team
We had an incredibly special night Friday although a key players couldn’t make it.
Anyone who knows knows that staffing is one of the biggest challenges of owning your own business. This group makes it easy and brings a smile to my face each and every day with their kindness, compassion, humour and love of dogs. They are by far the best, most cohesive team I’ve had the pleasure of working with. No wonder we keep making Toronto’s best dog walking companies lists- it’s the team!
I love Michelle’s stoicism, Heidy’s passion, Andrea’s never ending quest for knowledge on all things canine, Juliana’s sweetness, Luci’s commitment to canine education, Joe and Hannah’s quick and dry humour, and Analisa’s positivity. They are WONDERFUL!
Thank you to everyone who lets us spend time with their dogs every day. We do love them and appreciate.it and you!
-the K9 Kate’s team
Welcome Sky, the Yorkville Aussie Shepherd
Sky has been walking with K9 Kate’s for about 2 months now. We are so proud of him and his mom who ditched the prong collar after our meet and greet and are living their best force free lives ever since. We love Sky and are so happy he and his mom chose us to hang out with. Welcome Sky!
Welcome Esmerelda, the Ossington Rescue Pup!
Esmerelda has been heading out with us on private walks. When she’s a bit older, we know she’ll be a great addition to our groups. She’s a real sweetheart and we’re grateful to spend time with her. Welcome Esmerelda!
