Testimonials

Below are some comments on my service and the relationships I have with the dogs I have fun with every week.
I must say that I really, really like ALL of my customers! And their owners aren't bad either.  ; )
What I think is MOST AMAZING, is that ALL of my customers have been extremely genuine (and articulate) in their reviews!
They've all blown me away with what they wrote. Much thanks to all of them. I love all "my" dogs. (Unfortunately some pups do move away BUT they will ALWAYS be special to me and will remain here on this very important page of the website!).

"I have a Husky and he's super hard to control, but Nelson takes great care of him and he likes him very much! Nelson always tells us funny and interesting stories that happened during their walks, and he'd always remember to inform us right away if our dog is not feeling well. Definitely recommend letting Nelson take care of your dogs!"

"My two dogs Tee (Australian Silky Terrier mix) and Milky (Bischon Frise) absolutely love their walks with Nelson. He handles them really well and they enthusiastically look forward to the long walks he takes them on.

"I found Nelson and Bow Wow Dog Hiking through Google after moving to a new area. I have two large dogs that are used to lots of off-leash time and I needed a dog walker that could provide lots of exercise while we were away at work.
Nelson came to our house for an initial meeting and took the boys on a trial walk. Our young guy is very social but my older dog is particular and shy when it comes to new people. Both boys loved Nelson and getting out to hike and socialize with different dogs. We would come home after work to two tired and happy dogs! They would often go out for 1.5+ hours, enjoying different trails and conservations with Nelson and his pack. I got lots of updates and pictures which I love and Nelson was quick to bring forth any concerns or suggestions to help my dogs.
I would recommend this service for dogs that are (mostly) obedient, have lots of energy and love going on new adventures each days".

"My 2 labs....Cole and Phoebe LOVE being with Nelson and his lab Mia on their LONG off-leash hikes! Updates and pictures are an added bonus. Thanks Nelson....you're the best! Sincerely, Arlene".

“My dog absolutely loves her hikes with Bow Wow Dog Hiking. Nelson has been so great for Marley and is very attentive to her personality. He helped Marley to become more social with other dogs and adapt to walking, running and playing in a group. Nelson regularly sends photos and keeps you informed about your dog during their hikes. He really takes the time to get to know your dog and cares for them. Best thing we have found for Marley and would highly recommend it.”

“We are unbelievably lucky to have ever found Bow Wow for Hunter! Nelson is so patient, caring and loving with all the dogs, including our little “trouble maker”! Reading those hilarious hiking blogs is becoming a sweet family activity that we look forward to after each hiking. I have been and will continue recommending them to all my friends and colleagues!!!”

We are absolutely thrilled with the care and attention that Nelson gives our puppy, Emerson. He sends us pictures of her during their walks, tells us about how she is doing. He always treats her so well. My kids joke about Emerson's disappointed face when they come through the door after school when she realizes it's not Nelson. She definitely loves him. I am sure that we could not have found a better person to walk our dog. He has been walking her since September and we are looking forward to when she is fully grown and she can join him on hikes. Thank you Nelson!

"Hi Nelson, I just wanted to thank you for taking such excellent care of Casper while we were on holidays! It was a relief that he was comfortable enough with you and Mia that he didn't stop eating, as he's done in the past. It's obvious you love dogs. I think you may have spoiled him a bit - he expects me to take him for long walks like you do. Your dog-sitting service is by far the best we've experienced."

Mayra M.

"This is the best dog walking service I have ever had. Nelson takes my very energetic chocolate lab puppy on long off leash hikes with other friendly dogs and she comes home happy and exhausted. He is also very thorough with pairing dogs that will get along and play the entire time with no hiccups and keeps me updated with photos and videos everyday. I highly recommend Bow Wow Dog Hiking".

"My Lollipop is addicted to the hikes with Nelson and the pack. She was a timid dog from the day I adopted her as a rescue; but she is also a terrier mix that loves running, spending time exploring the woods, and socializing with other dogs. My daily walks with her were just not enough. I decided to engage Nelson to help Lolly get everything on her wish list. And Nelson has more than delivered! I trusted Nelson to incorporated my 20-lb Jack-Tzu into a pack of larger dogs in a way that was safe and fun for all the dogs and I am happy about my decision. I notice that Lollipop is much less timid with visitors to our home and she’s just a much happier and calmer dog at home, which makes me happy. Many thanks to Nelson for his dedication! It's a great service to have in our neighborhood".

"If you love your dog, and want to have lasting memories of your furry friend, call Nelson NOW and book a photo shoot. I am completely thrilled with the beautiful and creative photos Nelson took of me and my Labradoodle Finny. You know when your dog immediately falls in love with someone and you think wow, this is clearly a kind and compassionate human being? Well, that's Nelson! He is most definitely in the right field of work. Thanks for the amazing photos Nelson, and I look forward to our next photo shoot".

"Nelson has been hiking with our 10 year-old Siberian husky for several months now. We are so lucky to have such a caring and passionate dog walker! He always sends us photos and updates of the hikes, which we really appreciate. We also LOVE reading his dog blog that captures just how much fun they are all having!"

Nelson is definitely a really responsible dog walker. My dog has a very high energy level, she usually plays hours to release. But at Bow Wow Hiking, she sleeps all the way to morning. She is so tired when back home, she even doesn't greet with me when I am back home.
Strongly recommend Nelson, he provides a real hiking, instead of play in dog park. He is the BEST.

“Nelson is a caring and professional dog walker. He treats our 14 year dog like his own. Nelson responds to questions quickly and throughly, and updates us on walks via his blog and/or text messages. I would highly recommend Bow Wow Dog Hiking for your furry loved one.”

Keelan W. & Iman L.

“Nelson is a great dog walker - he doesn't just walk our dog around the neighbourhood, but takes her out for hikes in conservation areas so she can explore and have a ton of fun! He even carries our dog through our condo when he picks her up and drops her off, per weird condo rules, and I'm really thankful that he's so accommodating. Koharu loves to go with him, he's very responsive to our questions, and he's always looking out for the dogs' best interests. I'd recommend him for sure!”.

Reannan R.

“Sammy's dog walker Nelson is the best we've ever had. He's caring, knowledgeable, flexible and I really feel like he cares for Sammy like she is his own. Sam is so tired when she gets back from her hikes, I know she's well exercised and content. Thank you Nelson, for spending time with Sammy, taking her into nature and giving her lots of love!”.

Nelson @ Bow Wow Dog Hiking!

Mia almost always comes out with us! She sets a good example of how to be friendly to every dog and person! :D

“We are happy to have found Nelson at Bow Wow Dog Hiking to walk our dog Copper. Nelson takes the dogs to conservation areas where they can explore. He always takes the dogs to different locations as well to keep it interesting for them. Copper always comes home tired from his long walks. I would highly recommend Nelson for those looking to give their dogs a real hiking experience”.

Marie C.

Nelson is an awesome person and a genuine dog lover. It was love at first sight for our dog too since he went and got all his favourite chews from around the house to drop at Nelson's feet during their first meet & greet (he had never done this before!!). We are so grateful for the amazing service that Nelson offers. He takes the dogs to conservation areas (rain or shine) where they can run off leash to their heart's content. My dog always has the best time and comes home exhausted. The dog hiking blog is such a bonus too! It's hilarious and filled with tons of action shots! It makes you wish you were on the hike too.... I would highly recommend Nelson's amazing dog hiking service! Thank you, Nelson!!!

I am so happy to have found Bow Wow Dog Hiking in my neighbourhood. It is such a relief to know that my little Louie is out for walks with Nelson. Louie is a bit too small to do the big hikes, so Nelson takes him on nice long walks with other dogs that he knows will play well together. Nelson truly cares about all of the dogs. He provides updates to me on any of my pup’s strange behaviour and sends photos and video updates. Louie is always so excited to see Nelson, and that really says it all. Excellent service! Thanks Nelson, for all you do for the dogs of Unionville and beyond!

I was adopted by my dog in October while between jobs and it was important to me that I find a dog walker for when I started my new job. Rufus has come with some challenges so it was imperative that I find the right person for him. Nelson was that perfect fit. He treats Rufus like his own and Rufus looks so forward to that hour in his day. He's really bonded to Nelson which is exactly what I wanted. Nelson has been trustworthy, reliable and a very kind and caring dog walker. To be honest, I'm not sure who benefits more from these daily walks, Rufus or Nelson...just kidding, it's me! I benefit most from these walks!
