Let’s Hike!
From home to trail and back again in 3 easy steps:
1. Pick Up
We are in the process of buying a bus for increased safety and numbers of dogs, however we are still operating with a 2016 Toyota Rav 4. There is a custom built platform with rubber mats installed in the back, including a wire rack to prevent forward momentum and carabiners to attach leashes to various points in the car for safety during transportation. We also have a ramp for dogs that need a little extra help!
Pickup and drop off locations can be home, office, or wherever is convenient for you. Pickup is from 8-9am and we keep the pups for 5 hours from pickup to drop off. We scoop pups as far north as Northgate and as far south as Beacon Hill neighborhoods in Seattle - including West Seattle.
2. Hike
We hike in the surrounding Seattle area, and only walk as fast as our slowest walker. We give the dogs ample time to sniff the forest floor for mental stimulation!
In addition to carrying leashes, water, poop bags, and treats, each of our walkers carry a phone, GPS device, and first aid kit. Our walkers are all pet CPR and First Aid certified through CPR Seattle.

3. Clean up & Drop Off
Drop off is approximately 5 hours after pickup - between 1-2pm. While we love seeing dirty paws and tired pups we know things can get muddy on the trail and you might not want that tracked into your home. We will do our best to get your dog cleaned up after the hike and ensure your pal is fresh upon arrival.
From a happy pup and her human:
I recently had the pleasure of hiring Katy to walk my energetic cattle dog, and I couldn't be more impressed with the she service provided. Katy is professional, friendly, and clearly passionate about dogs! She took the time to understand my dog's specific needs, preferences, and quirks, which made me feel immediately at ease. She arrived equipped with all the necessary gear, and always greeted my dog with enthusiasm and warmth. It's clear that she has a natural affinity with animals; my usually wary dog took to her right away. During the walks, she provided regular updates and photos, and treats which was a wonderful touch. After each walk, my dog returned happy and tired, a sure sign of a great outing! I am so happy with her service and will be looking forward to the next walk!
