A noisy, smelly, and most often chaotic warehouse full of dogs can be a stressful environment for some dogs. We prefer smaller pack sizes where we hike and swim. We think this is much more natural, fun, and healthy for our dogs.
Dogs are transported safely in very dog-proofed vehicles. Our trucks are equipped with safety tie ups, crates for puppies, ventilation fans, rubber floor matting, and water bowls.
We accept both on and off leash dogs and dogs of all ages. Daycare includes two 60 minute hikes so best suited for dogs capable of hiking for longer periods of times.
Pick-ups are between 9-10 am and drop-offs between 3-4 pm.
We are all about small pack sizes! Up to 7 dogs per walker. Among these dogs, the walker will have a mixture of these dogs on and off leash.
For convenience purposes, most clients prefer to give us a copy of their key to their house or building.
Of course! For lunches, please leave a container of food at pick up labelled and we will provide your pup their lunch around mid day. At drop off we happily will feed your pup dinner or put a Kong filled treat down for entertainment until you get home. Dogs have access to fresh water after every walk and during the hot summer days have constant water access during the car ride.

Give us a call or email us through our website. We will answer any initial questions and set up a complimentary phone consultation. We will discuss your pet’s history, the optimal service you and your pooch could use, we will supply some paperwork for you to fill out, and answer any questions you may have. First pick up we require you to be home for the initial pick up and walk.This is also the time to supply us with a copy of your house key.
There are lots of casual dog walkers out there, so do your research and find what suits you and your dogs needs the best. We are ‘professional’ in that we have been operating since 2011, are a registered, licensed, and insured business. We keep up to date and adhere to municipal dog bylaws, our staff are pet first aid certified, we belong to a variety of dog care organizations which you can review the bottom of our main page and we go above and beyond in our standards for animal welfare and customer service.
Dogs are transported safely in very dog-proofed vehicles. Our trucks are equipped with safety tie ups, crates for puppies, RV ventilation fans, rubber floor matting, and water bowls.
Please note: all staff are pet first aid certified and all vehicles carry a pet first aid kit. Are there special requirements my dog needs to meet in order to walk in a group?
We highly suggest regular flea and tick prevention due to the direct contact with other dogs. Dogs must have an up-to-date city license with their current city of residence. Dogs must wear an ID tag with their name and owners contact details on it at all times. Dogs attending pack walks must have no history of bolting, either on or off leash, must be friendly towards humans, and exhibit no aggression towards other dogs. Each dog will be assessed on an individual basis during our initial consultation and their first couple of walks with us.
This is on a case-by-case basis. We would be happy to discuss further via email or phone.
Our group hikes take place on a variety of dog off leash trails and beaches in Burnaby and the surrounding area. Private walks depend on the needs and area of the dogs on those walks.
For dog walking pick up and drop off we service Burnaby, selected areas of New Westminster, Coquitlam, and East Vancouver. Please have a look at our service area map on our Home or Service Area pages to see if we service your neighborhood.
Yes! We ask to please leave a towel handy so that we can dry your dog before we let them into your home. We will do our very best to clean and dry your dog but there is a limit as to how much time we can spend on each dog. We are happy to leave your dog in a designated area if you wish – please just let us know.
Most clients prefer to give us a copy of their key. However if you prefer to make other arrangements we can discuss that during our initial meeting.
Pack walks are 60 minutes long. However, your dog is typically out for 2-3 hours between pick up and drop off. Solo walks are 60 minutes in length. Potty breaks are 15 minutes.
We are trained in pet first aid and experienced at administering medication.
We are big on communication and love to hear from our human clients. We supply a doggy diary so you can keep up with your dog’s fun and busy days out with us. We encourage you to contribute by writing in it as well to notify us of any concerns (ie: upset tummy, medication, unusual behaviour etc…), changes, requests, or special instructions needed for that day.
Pre-scheduled dog walks cancelled after 5 pm the day prior will be charged in full. Any service cancelled the day of, will be charged in full.
