About Us
Whether it’s a carefully planned vacation, sudden crisis or just every day life - Kats and K9s has you covered! If your furry (or scaly!) family member needs anything from custom diet plans to brain stimulating games or just tons of one on one time, Kats and K9s offers a wide variety of services within services with the aim to be one step ahead and meet every pet’s needs.
Kat is a small town person living in the big city. Growing up on a farm they lived with and cared for just about every animal under the sun.
After nearly four years of concurrently managing several pet stores they left to begin working more closely with the furry family members themselves and moved on to be the “Senior Pack Leader” at one of Toronto’s best rated dog walking companies.
Pet First Aid certified, insured and bonded with additional certifications by UC Davis in canine, feline, small mammal, avian and herptile nutrition, as well as completing Karen Pryor’s Dog Trainer Foundations course, Kat is passionate about the fundamentals of pet health. They are currently seeking further education in animal behaviour studies.
why choose us?
Small Groups (up to 4)
We believe that one on one time with each pet is invaluable. Mental stimulation usually wins over just a standard walk or romp in the park in terms of tiring out your pet. Interactive games and trick sessions are added to our walks to ensure you come home to a satisfied pup!
Safety Protocol
Keeping your pet safe is our number one priority! We’re extremely selective about when and where we take your pup - especially off leash areas! We also have strict cold weather and hot weather protocol to ensure every pet can enjoy the day based on their needs.
Come Along With Us!
We give you some peace of mind by providing our pet pawrents with real-time updates of how your pet is doing on their daily adventures.

Group walks
We all lead busy lives in the bustling city. Let us take care of your pooch while you're at work! With small groups (max. 3 pups) we can provide individual attention and mental stimulation in the form of interactive games or trick training sessions to each pup. We even throw in some snuggles for free!
private walks
Some pups just love their one on one time. We love to spend time with those pups who need a more intimate and on-leash walk. We can also offer some force-free obedience guidance in these settings
Puppy Staycation (24hrs - Dogs only)
Travelling can be stressful for both pet and pawrent alike. Whether you're spending a night with friends or flying across the country, your pet will receive so much pampering at Kats and K9s that they'll feel like they're on a vacation of their own! Just drop off your pet and their food and we'll take care of the rest.
Kitty Vist
We take care to give your feline friends some extra TLC while you're away. Whether its a rambunctious kitten who needs lots of playtime or an older cuddlebutt who just wants head-rubs, being alone can be stressful for anyone. We cater our kitty visits to your cat's individual needs. Familiar with all types of feeding and bathroom regimes, we'll make sure you come home to a happy household!
Pawdicure
Making mani-pedis as comfortable as possible, we don't use muzzles or purridos for your pet. Taking our time and relaxing into the experience, you'll see just how easy it can be!
Training (All R+ and FF)
New puppy? Adolescent pooch having trouble with recall or leash walking? Just need a little guidance or a refresher on the basics? We’ve got your back! Working one on one with you and your dog to help you grow your relationship by communicating effectively with one another. Keep your dog’s mind engaged with trick training and enrichment ideas as well! All training is done without the use of aversive methods such as slip, choke, prong or e-collars.
