🐾 A Day in the Life of a Dog Walker in Montreal – Now Hiring in Saint-Laurent!

Ever wonder what it’s like to get paid to hang out with dogs all day?

At Walkies & Whiskers, our pet sitters and dog walkers make tails wag across Montreal—one walk, snuggle, and game of fetch at a time. Whether we’re navigating a snowy sidewalk or tossing a ball on a sunny day, no two shifts are ever the same.

And here’s the scoop: we’re currently hiring in Saint-Laurent! If you love animals, want flexible hours, and enjoy spending time outdoors, this might just be your dream gig.

☀️ Mornings Start with Wags and Wagons

Most mornings kick off with checking the day’s schedule in our professional booking platform, PetPocketbook and for our Saint Laurent walkers, it often involves sleeping in. After clipping on the fanny pack (poop bags, treats, and squeaky tennis ball secured and provided by us of course), it’s time to grab the leash.

Meet Lylo—one of our long-time clients. He used to be nervous around new people and especially cars. But now? He sprints to the door to greet us, tail wagging like he’s been waiting all night. The morning walks are usually calm, personal, and a great way to bond with the pups.

🐶 Midday = Peak Dog Walking Energy

Between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m., we’re in full canine cardio mode.

Whether it’s a solo sniffari or a structured group walk, we tailor everything to each dog’s needs. And in Saint-Laurent, we’re lucky to have amazing green spaces like Parc Caron or Bois-de-Liesse—perfect for reactive dogs or pups who need a calmer setting.

Sometimes we walk high-energy working dogs. Sometimes we’re chilling with an elderly golden retriever who just wants to sniff trees and vibe. We see it all.

🐾 Afternoons Are for Cat Check-ins and Special Pets

After the midday rush, the job often shifts to in-home pet sitting and drop-ins. One visit might involve cuddling a cat named Spaghetti, another could include administering meds to a senior chihuahua.

Our team handles pets with reactivity, special needs, and even post-surgery care. We offer private, one-on-one attention in the comfort of the pet’s own home—no kennels, no stress.
