I cannot recommend them enough. Very professional and our Brooklyn waits by the window for Joe to pick her up and is so happy everytime he arrives. They take her our for ~2 hours and we can see how good of a time she has and how tired out she is when she gets back, which is perfect to hold her till we are done our workday. Besides this, Kate and her team have been so accommodating - even went outside of their usual pickup to get her daily when we had her staying with our friend, which really helped maintain some routine for her while we were away. We have also used their dog sitting services on another occasion for a week and also highly recommend. Alana took such good care of Brooklyn and sent us many updates and pictures/videos to help put our mind at ease as we missed her so much. We are so glad to have found Kate and her team as they have definitely made our lives a little easier and we know Brooklyn loves them too.

Do not send your dog here!…read more The new owner is completely incompetent, unprofessional, immature, inexperienced and treats his staff horribly. He has no experience with dogs and does nothing to help care for them. He will leave 50+ dogs alone in the pen and is not even watching them properly when he is in the pen. His lack of knowledge and experience is very apparent and he does not listen to his employees, who on the other hand most have years of experience. He is getting rid of really good staff without cause and having to care for the dogs on his own. Which can't lead to anything good considering he has no idea how to read dog body language, cues or break up a dog fight if one occurs. He is constantly on his phone and taking personal calls to the point where he doesn't even notice a fight about to break out right in front of him. Your dog will not be safely or properly cared for with this man. He is not to be trusted and I would strongly advise you to take your dog elsewhere.

I emailed at 1 am to a contacted and I received a response by 7 am. We showed up at a lady's house by 2:30 pm who received my Sophie open arms. Sophie loved the attention by a new human being for a whole afternoon and it saved my day and her comfort! Awesome service..much better than doggy day care centers for short stints because of the focused care..

THE MOST AMAZING DOG PERSON IN TORONTO!…read more Caryn is the most passionate dog lover and dog expert you will meet. Her involvement in our dog's life began before we even adopted! She gave us advice and support through the adoption application process, was one of our references, and even accompanied me on the trip to meet and decide on our Malik. She's always there for advice, and she is amazingly well-read and educated on the subject of dogs. Her own dog, Parker, lost a leg in an accident before being rescued and adopted by Caryn. You can tell as soon as you meet Parker that he has the most wonderful life a dog could have. He, like Cesar Millan's Daddy, has a magical effect on other dogs and often accompanies Caryn's clients on walks. Whatta Pup! is the business born out of a tireless dedication to and deep passion for dogs. You can't go wrong if you're working in a field you adore! Caryn offers walking, let-out and visiting services, obedience training, behavioural consultations, selected grooming, and special programs such as dog-safety for children. She's also a great resource to speak with about therapy. And... don't tell anyone I told you, but word on the street is that she's going to start offering canine massage therapy sometime in the future... shhhhh! She will guide you to the best of the best in the doggie universe - "phodography" (pet photography), Martingale collars, wicked cool Whatta Pup! merchandise, as well as her own all-natural, homemade shampoos and treats! Visit the Whatta Pup! website to see all the wonderful ways you can involve her in your doggie's life!

Caryn makes it possible to pay for classes online as well as manage your schedule online. So the flexibility of the courses was a really great feature for us as our schedule is very inconsistent. We're graduated now but our experience here was memorable to say the least! The puppy social class offered exactly what it stated. The room was very clean and well organized. The instructors were very helpful in answering our questions about my puppies behaviour issues I had been experiencing. Caryn is extremely sweet and you can tell she really loves what she does! The male instructor (Sean I believe his name was?) was one of our favourites! He always seemed to have the perfect treat for our puppy that made her pretty much grovel at his feet!!!!!! Something I thought she'd never have the attention span to do! All instructors had a very pleasant demeanour and seem knowledgable even to your specific breed (impressive)! They gave me a great feel on what to expect when my basset was able to go into the real world and how to encourage good behaviour. The only complain I would make would be about the facility itself.. It's very industrial and I'd like them to be able to expand their business into something maybe more inviting? (The building is a bit sketchy on the outside) but the experience was more than I could ask for. I will be enrolling in more classes in the future thats for sure!!

During the meet and greet, they came prepared with all the information I needed to know about the walks, and took the time to get to know any special requirements and requests I had for the walker. My walker Laura is amazing, I can tell she cares deeply about my pup and is always reliable. The company even leaves a little report card showing how the walk went every day so I know how she was! The support staff are also great, they always respond promptly and answer all my questions. I haven't had any issues with them, and I'm confident that if there were any they would take all measures to ensure myself and my pup are happy. I would recommend Leash & Paws to anyone looking for a walker in Toronto.
