Small-group hiking adventures
Hello there! Important: For dog sitting, I only accept dogs who are friendly with other dogs and able to join me for a morning 2 hour hike. Your pup should be comfortable spending time with the pack and enjoy an active start to the day! A minimum stay of 5 nights is required. Dog hikes: I offer small-group hiking adventures for dogs: "Andy for Dogs Marin". Dogs are picked up from home, hike and explore together as a pack, then are dropped back off afterward. It’s a social group activity designed to provide exercise, enrichment, play, and outdoor adventure beyond a regular neighborhood walk.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
During our adventures, I reinforce basics such as recall, sit, stay, down, check-ins, and good pack manners. It’s not just exercise—the goal is to give dogs both physical and mental enrichment.
Ratings and reviews
Andy is the best. My dog is a little nervous and he knew exactly how to make her feel comfortable. We’re already going to book with him again! Highly recommend Andy!
Stella loved Andy and we were so appreciative of him spending time with her while we were traveling
Andy is always right on time and communicative and my dog loves to see him!
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 terrrific and really knows a lot about dogs. He has given me some excellent training tips and our 14 month old puppy loves him.
Andy was great with Maurice, who is 15 months old, and he also gave us some wonderful, helpful training tips. Will definitely want Andy to come again.
