What is your current availability?

We are currently looking for dogs to join our pack on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays.

Do I need to be there for pickup or drop off?

You do not need to be there for pickup or drop off as long as we have access to your pup at that location (for example how a Rover dog walker enters your home).  Pickup and drop off locations can also be different!

Where do you take the dogs hiking?

We go to wilderness areas off of I-90 including Cougar Mountain, Tiger Mountain, Squak Mountain, Rattlesnake Ledge (we don’t get close to the ledge!), Mt Si, Olallie State Park, and many others! We rotate hiking locations between the groups so your dog doesn’t go to the same hike every week

How do I know if my dog is a good fit?

We are looking for dogs that play well with others and do not pull on the leash repeatedly. Many dogs do better on a leash when they are in a pack. We make the dogs pull over to the side of the trail and sit when we pass someone, so it is essential that your dog does not lunge or bark excessively at other humans or dogs. We can work with a shy dog but not an aggressive dog. After you fill out the intake form we do a free meet and greet which helps give us a better sense of if your dog is a good fit and which group to put them in. We reserve the right to reject any dog for any reason.

I live outside the boundaries of your pickup - can I still have my dog join your pack?

Let us know and we will do our best to work something out. There may be an extra fee for those outside our perimeter but we are open to working with you to get your dog on the trail!

How long are the hikes?

We guarantee your dog hikes for a minimum of four miles. Mileage on the hikes varies depending on the hike location, dog’s fitness, and weather. For example in hotter weather we walk slowly and don’t go very far (in addition to finding some water to play in!). We only walk as fast as our slowest walker and average two miles an hour.

Are the dogs on-leash the whole time?

There are many factors that go into determining if it is safe for the dogs to be off leash: weather, visibility, training, trail popularity, etc. If we do have off leash time it can look several ways: a field or lake where the dogs are isolated and safe to romp, or on a trail. If it is on a trail, we stop and get leashed whenever passing someone - it creates safety and routine for the pups and works on their manners. We assess the situation every single time we take a dog off leash to determine if it safe - safety is our priority!
