"My 12 year old lab, Ella, is my baby and I won't leave her with just anyone. I trust Kathryn completely with Ella because she treats her as if she was her own dog. She is extremely knowledgeable about pet care, I really value her advice. I just wish I lived closer to Peterborough so that she could look after Ella more often".

Dog Walking
Your work week can quickly become busy and stressful which can easily affect your dog's routine or exercise needs. A dog's natural behaviour is to chew, dig, bark, and jump, especially when feeling bored, lonely, or not having an outlet for its energy. Providing regular daily exercise discourages these behaviours which reduces anxiety and stress for both you and your pet!
Our dog walks include:
   Pick-up and return to your residence or office
   Towel rub down if wet and muddy & brush out
   Written update after each walk
The safety of your dog, as well as respect for the environment in which we walk, is the highest priority of KJ's Pet Services. Our dog handlers are trained in pet first aid and will always carry a cell phone and first aid kit in case of emergency. Any dogs riding with KJ's Pet Services will travel safely and secured. We request that vaccinations be kept current and include rabies, distemper and bordatella (kennel cough) or that your dog receives annual titer testing.
Free initial consultation with you and your dog
Prior to booking your dog walking or pet sitting service we will conduct a short consultation session. This will ensure your questions are answered and your pet’s health and training experiences are recorded. In addition this will help us to create a bond with your pet, and ultimately, for you to feel comfortable with KJ’s Pet Services.
Rates
Dog walking available Monday-Friday, not including statutory holidays.
1. Group Dog Walk
$20.00 per dog ($5.00 for additional dog in same family)
Group walks are great for socialization and plenty of exercise. KJ's Pet Services prefers to work with smaller groups, a maximum of 4 dogs per walk, to provide more personal care and attention to each dog, while still allowing for the dogs to socialize and play with each other.

All dogs in group walks must have up to date vaccinations and be spayed or neutered. Flea prevention is required from May to November.
2. Private Dog Walk
$30.00 per hour
Does your dog prefer to stop and sniff every tree, roll in the grass, chase a ball at the park, or go for a power walk? Then maybe a private walk is the right solution for you. Private walks are in your own neighborhood and tailored to your pet's preferences. Ideal for puppies, senior dogs or those who want undivided affection showered on their furry family member.

   40 minute walk (minimum)
   Wash pet dishes
   Freshen up water
   Feed if requested
   Daily report card to owner

Additional dogs in same household only $10.00 extra.
3. Mid Day Visit
$15.00
If your dog finds your work day long, KJ's Pet Services can provide a mid day visit which includes:
   A quick 20 minute visit to prevent accidents and ensure pet is all right
   A daily report card to owner
This service is only provided within Peterborough town limits.
Exceptions to the above services:
Puppies under 16 weeks of age are not recommended for group walks until fully vaccinated and leash trained. Dogs must have a good leash manner or will need to start with private walk before group walks to have behaviour assessed and group matched. No aggressive, injured, or ill dogs will be accepted. We have the right to refuse dogs that have not been spayed or neutered.
