A tired dog is good. A settled dog is better.
Here’s how a day on the trails compares to a day at daycare.
| Most dogs do better here Daily trail hikes | Right for some dogs Group daycare | |
|---|---|---|
| Exercise | Sustained, structured movement on varied terrain — builds endurance, muscle tone, joints, and healthy weight | Stop-and-go bursts of play, often on flat ground, with long idle stretches between |
| Mental enrichment | New trails, new terrain, and hundreds of new scents every outing — sniffing is real cognitive work | Largely the same indoor room or yard, day after day |
| Stress and arousal | Ends in genuine decompression; dogs come home settled and sleep deeply | Noise, crowding, and high arousal can send dogs home wired rather than tired |
| Socialization | Small, hand-matched groups with a consistent handler | Large groups with less predictable dog-to-dog interactions |
| Behavior | Reduces boredom, restlessness, and anxiety over time — and builds recall, loose-leash walking, and check-ins with people | Can inadvertently reinforce rough play, barking, and over-arousal |
| Day structure | A focused adventure with a predictable pickup and drop-off | A long day away from home, much of it downtime |
| Best for | Dogs who need real exercise, enrichment, nature, and calmer structure | Highly social dogs who genuinely enjoy busy group environments |

Pick your hike days
Choose the weekdays your dog hikes — Mon–Fri, at least two a week. We head out in the mornings, and that schedule then repeats every week until you say otherwise.
We arrange a meet & greet
Before your dog joins the pack, we set up a quick meet & greet in person to get to know each other and make sure it’s the right fit.
Relax — it’s handled
A photo from every adventure, and a happily tired pooch waiting for you at the end of the day.
Not sure which days suit your dog, or whether they’ll love the pack? Make a booking and we’ll talk through everything together at the meet & greet. 👋
Hi, I’m Andy 👋
Dogs are my favorite companions — and there’s nothing I love more than getting them out on the trails. I lead a small, stable pack on morning adventures through the hills and woods of Marin, where the same friends hike together week after week.
We’re out for a good three hours — climbing, romping, splashing through creeks and working the body and the mind, off leash or on, your choice. Your pup comes home happily tired, and I send you a photo from every adventure.
Can’t wait to meet you and your pup on the trail! 🐾

What clients say
Andy did an amazing job taking care of my dogs! From the start, he was reliable, communicative, and made sure they were comfortable and happy the entire time. It’s obvious that Andy truly loves animals and treats them like his own. Highly recommend! 🐾
Andy was very communicative from the start, reliably followed the walking and meal schedule we requested, sent us photos of our pup every day, and left the house spotless. He’s our best sitting experience to date!
Andy was phenomenal with our two husky mixes. They’re high energy and he kept them busy, walking them a bunch and playing with them. He’s also a wonderful house guest — left everything sparkling and clean.
Reliable, prompt, and very communicative. He sent us daily pics, which we loved, and our pets were clearly happy. The house was also spotless when we returned. We’ll definitely be asking him to sit again!
Andy is terrific. Our labradoodle loves him and we are completely relaxed when we leave him with Andy because we know he will be well cared for.
Andy is the best pet sitter any pet parent can ask for. We were away two weeks — he kept our cat engaged, sent constant updates and pictures, and by the end the two had bonded. Highly recommend.
