Welcome Chandru, Our Very First infield Manager!

Meet Chandru, K9 Kate’s very first infield manager! While Chandru has only been with us for close to two months, he has quickly become an invaluable part of our team.

Before joining K9 Kate’s, Chandru worked as a professional dog walker and certified dog trainer. He worked as a trainer at When Hounds Fly and Toronto Humane Society where he became a manager as well.

Chandru makes us even better by ensuring all of our incredible (and they are!) dog walkers get even more formally trained support than they were already, and allowing for a really special offering to K9 Kate’s clients where they are all met with a trainer while on walks.

Chandru is not only experienced, he is terrific to worth with, a true team player and I’m thrilled he’s joined us! Welcome Chandru!

Welcome Betty, the Seaton Village French Bulldog!

Welcome to offleash walks, Betty, the Seaton Village French Bulldog! It is impossible to look at you without an awww and a smile.

Welcome Penny, the Queen West Petit Basset Griffon Vandeen!

Penny, the adorable Queen West, Petit Basset Griffon Vandeen, has joined our roster of boarders and we are so happy she did! This cutie couldn’t be any cuter if she tried!

Welcome Wallace, the Summerhill Goldendoodle!

Meet Wallace (Wally), seen with fellow Goldendoodle, Leo, who is clearly enjoying the Toronto snow!

Wally’s been walking with K9 Kate’s on group leashed walks for over a month now and is a terrific addition to our group. Plus, he’s pretty adorable! Welcome Wally!

Welcome Otis, the Bloorcourt Sheepadoodle!

Welcome Otis! This adorable pup started on daily leashed walks about a month ago and is doing so well! We can’t wait for more adventures with you, Otis!

Welcome to offleash walks Cooper, the Summerhill Golden Retriever!

Welcome Cooper! We’re as happy as he is that he joined our park walks. He’s so playful and made quick friends with fellow Goldens’ Leon and Levi. We love you, Cooper!

Welcome Muddy Baby, The Bloorcourt Bernese Mountain Dog!

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!

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!
