Boogity Dog Walking was started by Heidi Johnstone in early 2010. Heidi has over 10 years of experience working with dogs professionally and personally, including walking, training, basic medical care, dog psychology and pack leadership. She moved to Kanata in 2008 and fell in love with the community and its greenspaces, and knew this was a perfect location to begin a business with dogs.

Heidi has used her accumulated knowledge to develop an off-leash walking philosophy that balances socialization, exercise, and safety. And the results have been great! In the past two years we have grown quickly and now have an established base of close to 30 fantastic clients and over 40 awesome dogs. We are extremely proud that all of Boogity’s dog walking clients in our service area are still active with us today, and we’ve never had a client discontinue service.

Below are some of the reasons why:

Boogity believes in small pack sizes.
We are very committed to walking small groups of 4 – 6 compatible dogs at a time. This size is ideal for providing dogs with lots of fun doggy interactions, letting them feel like part of a pack, giving them plenty of exercise, and still allowing the walker to supervise each dog closely and connect with them individually.

Insurance protects your dog and your domain.
Boogity is fully bonded and insured to protect clients. Insurance covers a wide range of emergency situations while doggies are in our care. Bonding safeguards against theft, and lost or stolen keys.

Pics from the path.
We take many photos on most walks and post them regularly on Facebook so you can join in on the experience and see all your dog’s new furry friends in action.

Tales from the trail.
We leave a communication log at your home to keep you informed. If we don’t see you in person, we write the time in, time out, and comments on each walk.
