If you're like a lot of people, who only read the first couple of lines in a review, then here's what you're looking for... Eric, and the rest of the team with Eglinton Dog Walker, is AMAZING!
I first saw signage for Eglinton Dog Walker when looking to move to a new area in Toronto. Rather than reach out blindly for a new walker, I asked my current walker to recommend somebody. After about 2 months, I realized I was mistaken to follow that advice, so I then followed the lead of a few owners in my area, and gave Eric a call.
Having lived in various areas of Toronto, I've had the (dis)pleasure of meeting a number of dog walkers, both through my interview process, and on walks of my own. Some were immediate "NO's", while others were "maybe's" that were either ruled out, or made the cut eventually through process of elimination. Only on one occasion, have I felt an immediate "YES", and that was with Eric.
The team is reliable, consistent, timely, flexible, professional, and personable. The prices are very competitive, the walks are long and varying, and I can always count on my dog being exhausted when he comes home. What's great is that they also make efforts to size match their dog groups, which is definitely uncommon in the walking community.
Beyond the quality of service, I'm also consistently updated with pictures on my Facebook and Instagram feeds. This is something I haven't experienced before, and is something I didn't think I'd appreciate as much as I do. It's nice to see my pup running around having a great time, especially when I'm having a tough day at work. Also, if there's ever any question or concern, I'll receive a text or call to keep me in the loop.
I know I've come across as super picky when looking for a dog walker, but I'm sure many of you share the same mentality, that your pup is as much a member of your family as a child would be. Because of this, I'm very selective, and want to be sure that the care given to my pup is comparable to what I give him myself. Hopefully my pickiness will help you to better appreciate my positive review. I wish I'd found Eglinton Dog Walker sooner, and perhaps I would have take that leap of faith from the very beginning if there'd been a review like this when I was looking.
I highly recommend giving Eric and his team a call if you're looking for a new walker. I've heard of, and had nothing but good experiences with him and his team, and have even received thanks from other owners after their pups have joined his roster. read more
