True Gentle Giant Dog Services

Donnie is our third Husky. He is full of energy and curiosity- and also has a very independent personality. His walks with Mike have brought about so many changes. The walks with Mike have allow him to use that physical energy in a very positive way as well as offering the mental stimulation that results in a dog that is calmer and has become more well-behaved at home. Mike also provides a daily written report on each days walk. Both Jim and I are so glad that we chose Mike, he is the right person to give Donnie the exercise and training he deserves. We both would not hesitate to recommend him. Thank you so much Mike.

Not only is Mike responsible and punctual, often walking my dog longer than the 30 minutes we had agreed upon but today he went above and beyond, shovelling out the windrow the snow plow had left at the bottom of my driveway.

This business has nothing but glowing reviews and yet it is still an understatement. As someone who has been the sole caretaker and is very involved with my sometimes-challenging dogs, I am beyond impressed with Mike of True Gentle Giant. He is incredibly thorough and attentive to my dogs’ unique needs. His emphasis on safety and providing the best possible experience to each individual dog gives me full confidence in the quality of engagement my dogs will receive every single time Mike comes (always extremely timely). Not only does he provide excellent service for the dogs, he went out of his way to get to know me as a dog parent, my concerns, my goals, and is quick to share his wisdom from years and years of experience with many different dogs. I’m so thankful to have come across this business and would highly recommend Mike at True Gentle Giant for anyone who is seeking premium quality care for their beloved dogs.
My dogs will be leaving 5 star reviews as well as soon as they figure out how to use the internet !

We are so happy we found True Gentle Giant and Mike when relocating to Markham. Our 4 year old Labrador retriever (Marley) absolutely loves his daily walks with Mike. He waits for him by the door each day and wags his tail as soon as he sees him approaching. Mike is reliable and professional and truly cares for Marley. We feel happy that not only is Marley getting good exercise during his walks (his vet was very pleased with his weight loss) but he's found a friend in Mike!

Mike has been an absolute pleasure to work with and goes above and beyond to make sure Misha (my golden doodle) is well taken care of. She is always so happy to see him and they've developed a strong bond together. Mike is very trustworthy, always on time, and is very attentive to Misha's needs. I would highly recommend Mike to anyone looking for a dog walker.

I was new to the area and needed care for my large older doggo. Mike has been amazing. He responds quickly, clearly loves animals, and is sure I know that things are fine when I'm not home.
