Dog Walking
The perfect outlet for your dog while you tend to your busy lifestyle and work commitments.
Hire us to be your Dog’s Walking Companion!
Service
PVPC’s dog walking service pairs your dog with suitable canine companions throughout the city for our adventures. Whether we are exploring parks, trails or the suburbs, your dog is always in good company.
PVPC’s dog walking service is the ideal service for a busy professional’s work week. Feel confident knowing your dog is well cared for and their needs are met while you are away from home.
Your dog’s walks with us include a full hour of exercise, access to water during and after the walks, practice with basic leash techniques, canine socialization, treats, and of course lots of cuddles and attention! We also encourage lots of sniff breaks, or “sniffaris”, as this is the primary way dogs interact with their world.

Frequently Asked Questions about Dog Walking
If you can’t find the information you are looking please reach out and ask!
Contact UsDoes PVPC provide solo walks?
PVPC does not currently accommodate solo walks during the week. We do however walk dogs solo on weekends by appointment only. Consistent availability on weekends is not guaranteed.
Are clients allowed to view PVPC properties for boarding?
Absolutely! We believe in full transparency and allow our potential clients to view the environment in which their dogs will be staying. We want nothing more than our client’s to feel at ease knowing their dog will be housed in a safe, clean and comfortable space while they are way.
Does PVPC provide services for clients outside their radius?
At this time we only serve the Hamilton core, Ancaster and Stoney Creek for dog walking and pet visits. We definitely invite clients from outside our service area for daycare and boarding, yet we do not offer pick up/drop off.
My dog is a puller! Will PVPC still walk them?
PVPC uses tools to help with dogs who have the tendency to pull on the lead. If your dog is a powerful breed, we will implement tools for safety and control. Excessive pulling can cause physical strain on walkers, therefore we use tools to help protect ourselves to ensure our physical longevity in this field. Tools we commonly use are Gentle Leaders and HALTIS.
