Pawliday Plans? K9 Kate's has you Covered!

Heading out of town for the long weekend? Let the K9 Kate team take care of your furry companion with our trusted boarding and homestyle housesitting services!

At K9 Kate’s, we treat your dog like family. Whether they’re staying at one of our cozy, dog-friendly homes or enjoying one-on-one care in their own space, your pet will experience a safe, relaxed environment rooted in force-free methods. No harsh training tools, no stress—just positive reinforcement, play, and plenty of tail wags.

As an added bonus and what separates us from the rest is that we tailor the set up to suit your dog with an array of services developed over our decade of operation, ranging from private boarding to the Re Treat, a force free alternative to board and trains.

We currently have availability for the long weekend so contact us to reserve your spot!

Friends Come in All Shapes and Sizes/Picture of the Week

I love this picture of Betty and Wes. To see how much little Betty adores Wes and how gentle he is with her makes me so happy! These Annex pups are such amazing dogs and we’re lucky to get to walk them each week.

Welcome Ms. Molly, the Seaton Village Rescue Queen!

Meet Molly! Molly recently joined us for morning private walks where she’ll strut her staff around Christie Pits, all the way to the Annex and Harbord Village. She is very sweet with people and we love her already. Welcome Molly!

Welcome Moe, the Annex French Bulldog!

Welcome Moe! This cutie is now walking 4 days/week on leashed walks around the Annex. She’s quickly become besties with Mitzie, our resident senior puggle. Thanks for choosing K9 Kate’s to be your Toronto dog walker <3

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!
