The Best Dog Daycare Experience
What creates the best dog daycare experience? That’s the question we asked ourselves once we acquired our first physical location on Woodbine. Before the Fall of 2015, we hadn’t come to any consensus yet about whether or not we would even pursue a daycare option – we were quiet happy focusing solely on dog walking. That is what we are …
Dog Park Integration
Whether you got a young puppy from a breeder or a slightly older dog from a rescue, at some point in time you’re going to consider taking her to a dog park. Dog parks are great because they can really tire out your dog while getting some positive social interactions with other well balanced pups. Unfortunately, not every dog is …
Create Dog Walking Groups Based on Behavior
One question that I recommend asking a dog-walker in an interview is how they will determine which group your dog will be a part of. Is it simply based on availability, or is a bit of social science involved? When you’re looking to get the most out of your dog’s outings, knowing who your dog is in the park with …
Let's Talk
Whether you're getting a new puppy or moving across town, we'd love to hear from you. We can set up a meet n greet, or perhaps you only have questions at this point. Wherever you are in the process is perfectly fine with us - we love talking about animals!
Woofs Upon A Walk will treat your dog like family
Family values
Carolyn
Can I tell you that Haroula is magic? She has charmed Murray and they have forged a bond I haven’t seen him have with anyone outside of my family. She has a special call for him when she comes in and he runs to the door–runs(!) to greet her. He can’t wait to go out with her. He left yesterday petrified of the thunder, and Haroula just held him and calmed him. Clearly he got over it and had a great time in the park. Thank you for hiring such wonderful people.

Rob and crew have been amazing with our dog Lucy. She waits excitedly for their arrival in the morning, perking up at each promising sound outside, and she comes home happy and completely exhausted. This is a very professional operation- from the intake, to the amazing regular communication (daily notes, email updates, accounting messages), to the way they handle unexpected challenges. I have been impressed every step of the way. And a big bonus is how much they clearly love our dog- it warms my heart to see the interaction between Lucy and her walker, Haroula. Knowing they will keep her safe, exercise her, AND love her is way more than I expected from a dog walking service. I have recommended this company to several others, and wouldn’t hesitate to do so again.

Our aim is to provide a noticeable difference from the norm. From the onset to the day-to-day operations, the feedback we get is that interacting with us is unique. Our people are different, we recruit dog walkers in unusual places. Competency is a minimum requirement, not the sole focus. We also want our people to have personalities that shine.

We are innovators and investors. We invest in our quality, people and our technology. We also have standards when it comes to what dog behavior is acceptable and unacceptable in a dog park. We won’t simply let “dogs be dogs” because public dog parks require more intention than that.
