Zenya
Nora and Dave are fantastic with our dog! Not only does our dog get the exercise she needs but she has greatly improved on coming back on command. If you need a dog walker I don’t think you could find a better one in the city. Neil and Monique
 
Jaida and Bernie
Doggy Heaven :) I don’t think there is anyone else who can compare to Nora. It truly shows how passionate she is about her business and the dogs she looks after. Not only is she knowledgeable about animals and training, she gives them the best gift of all, love. Our little Jaida has been with Nora for over 2 months now. I can’t even describe the positive change in her behavior as she is just shy of 2 years old. She gets to socialize with other dogs and gets plenty of great excersize. I highly recommend Nora to anyone and any doggy :) She truly is a dog whisperer! She’s simply incredible! Dawn, Jordan & Jaida
 
Sasha
As good as it gets!‎‎ I just could not rush finding the right person to leave my best friend (and the love of my life) with, my dog Sasha. We had not spent a day apart since I brought her home when she was three months old. She is now 16 months. But when I first spoke and then met Nora I knew she was the one. She was patient, caring and her love of dogs was immediately apparent. In my opinion she is the best. I can highly recommend her. References available on request.

Nora McLoughlin: the dog-owner’s best friend. We love our two big dogs, but their constant needs and demands can get tiresome. It’s wonderful to be able to call on Nora for help. They always come home happy and calm after their action-packed afternoons with Nora. Also, the more time they spend with her, the better-behaved they get. When it comes to dogs, I’ve never met anyone as knowledgeable and nurturing as Nora McLoughlin. I’m glad to give her a five-star rating for dog care. Michael Sage Centretown 613.422.6583
 Nora has been our dog trainer and walker for nearly five years.  We have two five-year-old dogs – a Golden Doodle and a Bernese Mountain Dog and it would be an understatement to say that both dogs think Nora walks on water.  It has been a blessing having Nora. She picks the dogs up everyday and they spend a minimum of two hours in off-leash dog parks.  Our dogs are part of Nora’s “pack”.  The dogs come home exhausted and happy.  We started working with Nora when our dogs were just a few months old.  She worked with us to train them in basic commands, and she continues to help us out when needed (our Golden has a tendency to bark at pretty much anyone or anything passing our house).   Looking back, I think it was extremely important for our dogs, from a young age, to learn how to behave around other dogs and around humans.  Being part of Nora’s pack helped to socialize them.  If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to let me know.

Dozer
We Come Home to a Happy, Sleepy Dog EVERYDAY!‎‎ We couldn’t be happier with the amazing service provided by Nora and Dave. They allow our dog to have the fun, energetic, and exhausting outings that he deserves that we would never have time nor energy for on a daily basis. My dog spends his relaxing mornings lying around the house and the second he hears that apartment buzzer he leaps in to the air and stands at the door frantically wagging his tail until either Nora or Dave answers it. He just adores them and I know that our dog’s life is better with Nora and Dave in it. Nora went above and beyond any expectations we had by taking time to sit with us and teach us fundamental ways to gain respect from Dozer in addition, to somehow ‘curing’ his fear aggression and teaching him how to play with dogs again. I can’t thank Westboro Daily Dogcare enough and wish them all the success they deserve!
 
Duke
Great Dog Care Provider‎‎ It’s easy to find dog care in this city however it’s difficult to find care that is great. Care for your dog that leaves you guilt free and able to go off on business trips without worrying. Nora Mcloughlin is wonderful with my boy Duke. He adores her and the proof is his reaction when she arrives at our house to take him out for the day. Nora comes across as being sincere and genuinely concerned about the well being of my pet. Duke squeaks with delight when she puts his leash on and takes him to her car. She brings Duke home well exercised and happy. Thanks Nora
 
Butson
Best Dog Behaviourist Ever‎‎. I was despondent when I came to Nora and Dave for help. My mother had gone into hospital for two weeks and her dog terrified me. It had knocked me down and virtually attacked me before and here I was, now, having to exercise it, feed it, and care for it. I asked Nora for help and right away she and Dave took over care for the dog. After two weeks with Nora, my mother and I took the dog to the vet for his regular check up, and to our delight the vet found him so amenable that she removed the “aggressive” label from his file, which she had put on there, long before we met Nora. The vet asked what had happened to adjust his behavioiur and my mother and I were proud to say: Westboro Daily Dog Care is what happened! I watched her working with my mother’s dog a number of times and it warmed my heart to see what love, care, and affection, in addition to firm correction she employed in her treatment of him. Nora and Dave seem to genuinely love the dogs they care for but are very firm in ensuring no dog is bullied in their care. They seem to adore their work as caregivers. I highly recommend anyone hire a dogwalker who is also an active behaviourist like Nora! I could not recommend her more highly.
 
Bobbi
Excellent service!‎‎ Our dog Bobbi has had true gold star service from Nora and Dave. She almost doesn’t want to come home – she gets great exercise, attention, and obedience training. She is picked up and dropped off too. We’re so lucky to have found this service since our move from Toronto! Joanna K.
 
Max
Satisfied Customer‎‎ Nora and David have been looking after our Max over the last two months. He was only four months old when we first brought him there. He loved it from the start. In fact, my husband and I were slightly jealous of the affection he had for Nora. Having been dog owners for the last 30 years, we would recognize mistreatment if we saw it. Max and all the dogs that Nora and Dave look after are obviously well taken care of. They are happy and extremely well socialized with each other.  Rita and Mike
 
Shamus
Nora and Dave are GREAT!‎‎ As dog owners we have experienced a few different dog care providers. Nora and Dave have a passion for it and better yet, they understand the dogs and how they need to be dealt with…they’re GREAT! If you’re curious about the care they provide…just talk to them…watch how they interact with dogs. Simply look at the excellent condition of their own dogs…that doesn’t happen by chance. You need to love and care for your dog, to make it possible for them to be in that good a shape. Shamus will receive Nora and Dave’s care and walks as long as they are prepared to provide it. Thanks, Paul & Bev…on behalf of Shamus!‎
