Dog walking in Ottawa

How dog walking works in Ottawa

Dog walking in Ottawa works around the canal and the greenbelt, so walkers in Centretown, The Glebe, and Old Ottawa South run loops along the Rideau Canal paths, while Westboro and Hintonburg bookings head for the river trails and Westboro Beach. Rates run CAD 22-40 per walk, and recurring weekday walks are a steady request from condo owners in Centretown and ByWard Market who want a midday break for a dog with no yard. Ottawa winters are long, and when the canal freezes the surrounding paths get icy, so an experienced walker uses pet-safe footing, carries paw balm, and shortens loops on the coldest stretches.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does dog walking cost in Ottawa?
CAD 22–40 per walk is typical for a 30-60 minute walk in Ottawa. Walkers set their own rates and you see the exact price before booking.
Are dog walkers in Ottawa insured?
Every Petme booking includes up to CAD 20,000 in vet expenses at any licensed Canadian vet clinic. No deductible.
Do walkers in Ottawa pick up after my dog?
Yes. Picking up after the dog is standard and included in the rate. Confirm any specific preferences at the meet and greet.
Can I book a weekly recurring walk?
Yes. Recurring walks (Monday-Friday at the same time, for example) are common in Ottawa and most walkers offer a small discount for recurring bookings.
What about winter walks in Ottawa?
Experienced Ottawa walkers use pet-safe ice melt zones, paw balm, and shorter loops in extreme cold. Discuss your dog’s cold tolerance at the meet and greet.
do Ottawa walkers use the canal and greenbelt paths?
Yes. The Rideau Canal pathways, the Ottawa River trails near Westboro, and the greenbelt are the routes Ottawa walkers use most. The canal paths get popular and icy in winter, so walkers pick cleared sections and adjust the route; confirm whether your dog stays leashed on the shared multi-use paths.
can an Ottawa walker cover a downtown condo dog at midday?
Yes. Many Ottawa walking bookings come from condos in Centretown and ByWard Market where the dog has no yard, so walkers are set up for a midday loop and lobby or fob access. Leave your building entry details in chat so the walker can get in and out smoothly between walks.
