Our Philosophy

Kim's K9 Adventures is a family business founded on our love for dogs. Nathan, the owner, has years of experience leading group walks of various breeds and temperaments, creating enriching adventures tailored to each pup.

As part of Calgary Humane Society's Fur-Low and Foster program, Nathan also helps dogs find their forever homes.

Every walk builds confidence, fosters socialization, and ensures a safe, fun experience.

About Us

Frequently asked questions

What can I expect from group walks?

Your dog will enjoy 1.5 to 3 hours with us, including travel in our cozy, climate-controlled van. We visit off-leash parks with friendly pups, offering exercise, nature, and socialization. After each walk, you'll get photos, videos, and a pupdate. For a clean return, we’ll give a gentle wipe down—
just leave a towel by the door!

What can I expect from private midday visits?

Once you specify your dog’s needs, they’ll enjoy one-on-one, personalized attention. This can include a potty break, playtime, a short walk, feeding, or even medication administration. After each visit, you’ll receive a private update, keeping you in the loop on your pup’s day.

How do I schedule a walk?

Whether you're a new or returning client, simply fill out our Pup Adventure Request form or reach out to us directly.
For new clients, you'll need to fill out a quick registration form before booking your preferred times.

What supplies do I need to provide?

We supply poop bags and leashes for group walks. We ask owners to provide any other items, such as a properly fitted harness or collar, food, treats, and any necessary medications. If you don’t have a harness, we recommend using a martingale collar for added safety and security.

What are your dog walking hours?

Our walking hours are Monday to Friday.
Morning walks are from 9 AM to 12 PM.
Afternoon walks are from 1 PM to 4 PM.
Private visits are between 12 PM and 1 PM.

What if I'm not home?

That's no problem! We will use the access instructions you've provided to enter your home in your absence.

What if the walker can't get access to my home?

If we cannot access your home due to inaccessible access methods or failed devices (such as a door code, lock box, key, or intercom), and we are unable to reach you or your emergency contact, you may incur a fee equal to the full cost of the walk.

Are my access instructions and house key safe?

Your access instructions are handled with absolute care to ensure the safety and security of your home. If we have a copy of your key, it is stored securely. If you have specific concerns about the instructions or key, please feel free to discuss them with us.

Where can I get a lock box?

You have the option to order a lock box through us. Lock boxes are $25 and are yours to keep. Once you have the lock box, you can set your own code, which can be changed at any time—just be sure to update us with the new code. We can help set it up for you as well, just provide us a code!

How do I update my access instructions?

You can simply update your home access instructions by contacting us. Please provide the new details, such as any updated codes, lock box information, or changes to key access. Once we receive your updates, we’ll confirm that the changes have been made.

Home Entry

How do I stay informed about my walks?

We will send you photos, videos, and GPS maps via Facebook and Instagram, along with a Pupdate which provides details about each walk. You can also contact us anytime as well!

Can you give food or treats?

Yes, but any food or treats must be provided by you to prevent any issues with allergies or dietary restrictions. If you have specific preferences or instructions, please let us know!

Are you insured?

Yes, we carry liability coverage for bodily injury or property damage, including dog bites to other animals. If we misplace your key(s) or cause accidental damage to your property, we provide reimbursement of up to $200 for replacement or repair costs.

What happens during bad weather?

In severe weather, we may adjust or cancel group walks for your dog's safety. We always monitor for signs of discomfort, such as excessive panting, shivering, or paw lifting. We can also discuss options for a 15-minute private visit or rescheduling.
There are no fees for weather-related cancellations.
Cold Weather Guidelines
(-10°C to 0°C): Booties and jacket highly recommended, especially for smaller or senior dogs.
(Below -10°C): Booties and jacket are a must; participation is breed dependent, and small and senior dogs may be rescheduled.
Hot Weather Guidelines
(Below 32°C): We will always have access to water. We will monitor for overheating.
(Above 32°C): Shade and access to water will be priority. We may plan a swim day or reschedule walks for safety.

Will my dog be walked off-leash?

Your dog will be walked off-leash at a controlled, quiet park if they are comfortable and well-behaved. If off-leash isn’t suitable, we will provide an on-leash walk and work on their recall until it’s safe for them to be off-leash.

Safety and Insurance

When will you reserve Private Off-Leash Dog Parks?

Once a group walk is confirmed with 6 or more dogs, we will reserve a private off-leash dog park for the adventure. If the group size remains 5 or fewer, we will visit a local off-leash park instead.

Does my dog require vaccinations?

We require our dogs to be fully up-to-date with their core vaccinations, including Parvovirus and Distemper. Rabies and Bordetella/Kennel Cough are not required, but are strongly recommended.
We require a copy of the vaccination records in order to visit private off-leash dog parks.
