Dogs are our family, and when we’re not able to walk our family, we want to find someone we can trust to do it for us. But with the many dog walking companies available, you want to make sure they will do the job as well as you, or even better.
What makes many of these dog-walking companies so amazing is that many rely simply on word-of-mouth and testimonials from the local neighbourhood. You might not find some of these even on Google!
All I had to do was ask around, and the Milton people were happy to share their favourites. To help you find your furry friend’s walking companion, here is our list of the 10 best Milton dog walkers.
