Our Story

The Client Experience

Dog Parents’ Desires

Many dog parents want their puppers to enjoy unique life enriching outdoor experiences, meet and play with other dogs, and overall​ live a healthy lifestyle – exercise & eat well.

Pet humanization is becoming a common phrase within the pet industry because more and more pet owners want to provide their pets with human-like products or experiences.

Answer
Not Enough Time

In our fast-paced world, many dog parents, despite their best intentions, find themselves strapped for time, unable to consistently provide their dog soulmates with the enriching outdoor experiences they crave.

Life responsibilities often prevent dog parents from grabbing their Best Boop AND their Booper Buddies and heading to a spectacular natural setting for some serious hiking, splashing, squirrel stalking and peeing on everything!

Dog Parents Feel Guilty

As a result, many dogs miss out on the extensive physical and mental benefits of a stimulating hike, settling instead for brief neighborhood strolls that barely scratch the surface of their adventurous spirit.

Leaving their parents feeling guilty and wishing they could provide more despite their busy schedule.

Hike Doggie

A regular hiking program that keeps your doggie happy, healthy and living their best life!

Stellar Reviews

Oliver

Jen Ryan

You always assume that anyone who structures a business around dogs are wonderful people, but the Hike Doggies crew is extra special! They clearly love our pups and it shows in how excited my fuzzy guy is to go out every Wednesday morning and the joy in the report and pics we receive post-hike. I could not be happier and feel more at ease with the experience that is provided to my Oliver. Also the system - from notifications to billing to communication - is flawless. They’ve got this down from an administrative perspective so the focus is on what it should be - love and care of our doggies! So grateful for Hike Doggie.”
