About Us

My name is Josefine Herr and I am the proud new owner of Paw Patrol Dog Walking and Pet Services which was founded in 2014 by Leanne Joanisse. I was fortunate enough to work closely alongside Leanne for seven years. When it was time for Leanne to retire in 2024, I was so grateful to be able to carry on her legacy.

I have had a pet in my life from the moment I was born and this has instilled a great love for animals in me. I am currently the proud dog mom of a rescue beagle named Honey. I cannot imagine my life without a furry companion, and I am so blessed to have made dog walking and pet sitting my career.

After graduating from McMaster University, I spent a number of years assisting clients who had been in motor vehicle accidents. Although this was a rewarding career, once I had the opportunity to join Paw Patrol Dog Walking and Pet Services, I knew that working with animals was my vocation. Dog walking is a perfect fit for me. My love and respect for animals extends into every corner of my life, as I also embrace a vegan lifestyle.

Disclaimer: please note that we are not affiliated in any way with the Paw Patrol TV show. When I started the company, I had not heard of this show. My company name is inspired by Buddy, a rescue former junkyard dog known as the Paw Patroller. The name Paw Patrol Dog Walking is a tribute to him and his legacy.
