East End Canines - Toronto, Ontario

Zoli and Ash have totally transformed our spicy little schnauzer with the magic of group walks. She is happier, calmer, barks less (impressive for a schnauzer), and has made so many new friends.

The team is super reliable, clearly love what they do, and always keep us in the loop with updates and pictures. Our dog absolutely loves them, and so do we. Can’t recommend East End Canines enough!

I highly recommend East End Canines! When we first met Zoltan, he was incredibly kind and gentle with our dog Murphy. Zoltan took the time to get to know us, and Murphy, so that he could match us up with our wonderful walker Sebastian. Each week, Murphy eagerly waits in the window for Sebastian to pick him up for his walk and meet his other doggy friends. Murphy is completely smitten with Sebastian, who always takes great photos and sends us a report of how the walk went. We feel so safe and confident with East End Canines and are very grateful for Murphy to be part of their pack! 😊 🐕

I can’t recommend Zoli enough! My dog can be weary around new people and is reactive, so finding the right walker who could handle our specific needs was very important to me.

From the very first meeting, Zoli made me feel completely comfortable. He is knowledgeable about dog behavior and instincts, confident in using the tools my dog requires (prong collar and e-collar), and understands my dog’s quirks. He balances walks with playtime for mental stimulation, which has been great for her - she always comes back from her walk ready for a nap!

Zoli has been walking my dog for a year now, and I completely trust him with her care. He’s a great communicator, always sending updates and the cutest photos after each walk through his app. He’s also attentive to safety—like being cautious during extreme weather—and thoughtful in adjusting activities to my dog’s needs.

What I appreciate most is that he’s not only skilled in working with reactive dogs but also genuinely caring. My dog absolutely loves him, and I feel good when I’m busy at work knowing she’s in such capable hands. If you’re looking for someone experienced, reliable, and compassionate—especially if you have a reactive dog—I highly recommend Zoli!

East End Canines is truly the best! Zoli came over to meet my pup Luna before introducing her to the group pack walk to determine what group of dogs she'd fit in with the best and was amazing with her. Then we met her walker Gianfro and he is AMAZING! Punctual, great communication and takes the best care of Luna we could ever hope for. She comes home exhausted after having the best time with Gianfro and her buddies. Could not recommend a dog walking service more, thank you Gianfro and Zoli! They also send the best photos and updates after every walk which is such a great perk as well! Thanks to the entire East End Canines team!!

As you can see from the pics, Lily is jumping for joy and gives big smiles when Zoltan or one of his team arrives to walk her.
East End Canines are organized, committed and dependable. More than anything else their team are wonderful with dogs. Lily is a cautious girl and the team has earned her trust.
Zoltan has assisted with training Lily and myself and I will be forever grateful. I would strongly recommend East End Canines to any dog owner!

We feel so so lucky to have found east end canines! Our wiry and wacky dog Dusty loves Zoli, our dog walker. Dusty goes on solo walks with Zoli and he has been awesome with working on her occasional reactivity toward other dogs on leash and creating an engaging dog walking and training experience. Communication is easy and easy always know our angel is in good hands with these guys which gives us peace of mind. We highly recommend!!!

we’re so lucky to have zoli in our lives! he’s a true professional who really understands dogs and cares about their wellbeing. our dog zelda has experienced lots of reactivity in the past, and we’ve worked hard to make her walks more comfortable and enjoyable, reducing those high alert/stressful moments as much as possible. after moving to a new city and making some big changes to our routine, we wanted a dog walker who would be attentive to her needs and help her stay relaxed and happy on neighbourhood walks. zelda absolutely adores zoli and was at ease with him from the moment they first met. there’s always great communication and we love seeing the recap and photos after every walk. we would highly recommend east end canines for all dogs in our community 🐶💛🐾
