Permits and licences by city

There is no national dog walking licence in Canada, so the rules come from the cities. In Toronto, a commercial dog walker permit cost CA$305.99 for one year from January 2026 (tax not included), or CA$153.00 for six months and CA$76.50 for three months. In Montreal, a dog walker's licence costs CA$111.80 for a first application or renewal, and it cannot be transferred. In Calgary, every dog being walked by a walker must be licensed. Ask which permit your walker holds before you hand over keys.

Seasons and weather

Walks run all year, but snow and ice are common from December to February. Ask how the walker handles slippery pavement and whether the price changes in bad weather. From October on, daylight is shorter, so a midday or after-work slot is worth booking early. Summer, June to August, is when many owners travel, so book holiday walks a few weeks ahead.

How walks are priced and arranged

Prices are quoted per walk or per hour, in Canadian dollars. In Toronto the average is about CA$21 for 30 minutes and CA$33 for an hour, so five 30-minute walks a week come to roughly CA$104. Ask whether the price includes pickup from your home or travel to your district, and whether the walk is 30 or 60 minutes. Route lengths are usually given in kilometres, so ask for the distance if you want a set route.

What to put in your request

Give the days and times you need, the walk length, your dog's breed, size and temperament, and whether the dog gets on with other dogs. Name your district and how the walker gets in: keys, a lockbox or a code. Mention any extras you want, such as a photo after each walk, and set a budget per walk in CA$.

Describe your dog in your own words in the chat on BlaBlaPrice and add a photo if it helps. The AI asks about anything missing, looks through sellers' websites and price lists in Canada, and shows you the prices and businesses it found. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own price and terms. Your contact details stay hidden until you decide to exchange them.
