HOWLS N HEARTS
Professional Dog Walking & Pet Sitting with Heart
Trusted dog walking & pet care in Mississauga
Your pet deserves more than just care: they deserve expert handling, genuine love, and a trusted professional. At Howls N Hearts, we’re professionally trained dog handlers, not just dog walkers. We know how to read and manage dog behaviour, and we work training into walks so it’s about more than burning off energy.
Bonded and insured, we offer pack walks, private walks, and boarding for dogs, plus pet sitting and drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small animals.
Dog walking
Dog-social pack walks and private one-on-one walks, led by professionally trained handlers with expertise in power breeds, reactive and muzzled dogs.
Pet Sitting
Drop-in visits for dogs, cats, and small animals, including potty breaks and backyard let-outs, food and water refills, medication, and playtime, with an update after every visit. Overnight sitting in your home is available by request.
Boarding
A calm, structured stay in our home for dogs and small animals, with a private space for every guest. Limited spots, so each pet gets real attention. A meet and greet is required before booking.
Walk & Train
One-on-one walks where we teach leash manners and build handler engagement, with expertise in pullers, reactive dogs, and power breeds. Puppies build confidence and get used to the sights, sounds, textures, and smells of the outside world. Owner sessions are available to keep it going at home.
Meet the pack
At Howls n Hearts, we’re professionally trained handlers with specialized expertise in dog behaviour, handling, and training, caring for dogs, cats, and small animals alike.
Our approach with dogs is firm but caring. Structure and affection go hand in hand, and a well-guided dog is a happy, confident one. Every pet is unique, so we tailor our care to what they need, and we treat your pets like our own.
What people are saying
“An absolute gem! I found Monika and Howls n Hearts, when I was stuck for someone to care for my two dogs while we were attending my bonus daughter’s wedding. Normally, one of us stays home but that wasn’t an option for this event and our original sitter ended up being unavailable at the last minute.
A Google search brought us to Monika and I am absolutely blown away by the service and professionalism that she offers. She is responsive, put together a great plan with options for my two furballs and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures, videos, and stories of their adventures through an app she uses. I’m writing this the next day, while my two are still fast asleep after their time with her – our lab is always wandering around and wakes me up early morning but not today! They obviously loved their time with her and she brought extra toys and items on each visit throughout the day to get their brains going. I will definitely use Monika’s services again and would highly recommend!”

“We recently hired Monika to visit and walk our new chocolate lab puppy while we’re away at work. We originally thought our pup would get a simple visit, some play time, and a chance to go to the bathroom but Monika’s service has been so much more. Not only does she let our pup out and take her for a walk but she actively trains her while staying in line with our training plan. Our dog has learned so much from her and basically walks loose leash and stays engaged on her handler at only 15 weeks of age. Monika’s communication is excellent and she keeps us up to date on everything through her app and texts. Best of all, we can tell she genuinely cares about our puppy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Howls N Hearts to anyone in need of pet services!”

“Monika visited our cat while we were away for a long weekend and she was brilliant! Our cat is very nervous around new people but she immediately took a shine to Monika and came out to see her every day. Monika gave us updates after every visit on how our cat was doing which gave us peace of mind, as this was our first time going away since we had moved.”
