Dog Walking &
Overnight Boarding

Accepting New Clients

Hi, I'm Maia — a dog walker and overnight boarder based in Parkdale, Toronto. I started Ruff Bandit because I believe every dog deserves personalized care from someone who genuinely loves them. I keep my client list intentional so your dog always gets my full attention.

01 / STATEMENT

I walk dogs in Parkdale the way it should be done. Small groups. Proper routes. An hour that actually wears them out. Boarding is the same deal — your dog comes to my place, not a kennel. If something goes wrong, I'm already there. That's the whole point.

— Maia, Ruff Bandit

Maxine the Husky
MAXINE
01 / THE BOARDING EXPERIENCE

Meet Maxine.

Maxine is our Husky. She lives at home with us, and she's been a part of every boarding stay since the beginning. She gets along with every dog she meets — and somehow, they all figure that out within about five minutes.

For dogs that don't usually do well with other dogs, Maxine has a way of making it work. We've seen anxious dogs settle, reactive dogs relax, and fearful dogs learn that being around other dogs isn't something to worry about. We don't fully understand how she does it. She just does.

When your dog boards with us, they're not going to a facility. They're coming to a home where another dog already lives — one that knows how to make them feel at ease.

WHO I AM

Not a facility.
Not a side hustle.

I've been walking dogs in Parkdale for years. I keep groups small because it actually matters — your dog gets real exercise, real attention, and a walker who notices when something's off. After every walk, you'll get a message: how it went, whether they did their business, a photo.

Boarding works the same way. Your dog stays at my place, not a facility. They sleep where I sleep. If there's a problem, I'm already there.

I walked every week last winter. I don't cancel on clients. This isn't a side hustle — it's the thing I do.

Maia has been walking Biscuit for 8 months and he loses his mind with excitement every time she arrives. Best decision we ever made.

Luna boarded with Maia over the holidays and we never worried once. The photos she sent were adorable. Highly recommend.
