About Citizen Canine

Of course, you’re your dog’s best friend. It goes without saying. And you love her. We know. And you want her to have everything she needs to live her best life. We know that, too. That’s exactly why we started Citizen Canine. Our clients aren’t people who never want to walk their dogs or who live at the office all day and all night. Our service isn’t about ‘filling the gap’ because you can’t be there. Our service is for people who want the very best for their dogs. They want their dog to be happy, well socialised and active.
You have a best friend, right? Is she your only friend? No, you have friends outside your best friend and your partner. Your kids don’t just have friends at school. They have friends at skating and in the neighbourhood. Why shouldn’t your dog also have friends outside you? What if your dog could have a robust social life…. just like you?
That’s it. That’s why we started Citizen Canine. To expand your canine care team. Have you heard the saying: ‘it takes a village to raise a child?’ Well, we believe that’s true for our dogs, too. We aren’t a replacement service for you. Sending your dog out on walks isn’t a shirking of your role as dog parent. It’s an acceptance of it. It is taking responsibility for creating your dog’s experience of life.
