The noodle& friends story
Hi there! Welcome to Noodle & Friends, High Park’s neighbourhood dog walking family. First things first, a little about us….
We are a proud team with over 10 years of animal training experience and handling therapy dogs. We understand the bond you have with your four legged family members, and make it our mission to get to know you and your dog, guaranteeing consistent and personal pet care that is equal to your own love and attention.
The 1st question we always get asked is “Why did we become a family of Dog Walkers?” It was actually simple. We were inspired by our own fur baby, Noodle – Hence the name!
Noodle became well known as a Therapy Dog in Toronto within the Mental Health space at Sunnybrook Hospital and Camh, helping people overcome personal circumstances, through love, affection, and some darn cute puppy dog eyes!
As Noodle’s time as a therapy dog comes to an end, we wanted to use our experiences and passion to continue her incredible work, through a medium that benefits the local communities of West Toronto, including High Park Village, Bloor West, Runnymede and the surrounding areas.
Fulfilling a long time passion for animal welfare, the great outdoors and serving the people (and Pooches) of West Toronto, Noodle & Friends was the natural choice!
We are so excited to make you a part of the Noodle & Friends family!

Client Testimonials
Don’t take our word for it!
Noodle & Friends have been a fantastic addition to Oscar’s life. He gets the regular exercise he craves from people who genuinely love dogs. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend their services to others!
Claire
The Scout Scheduling App makes my life so much easier for booking last minute visits for my cat, Socks. I can just let them know exactly when and what I need from my phone. Really taken the worries away.
Richard
We love the fact that our dog Spot is being tracked by a GPS system designed for dogs on his walks. He has been notorious for finding gaps in fences and disappearing, so knowing he can always be found is awesome.
