I work part time as a software engineer, so I'm currently only taking small packs (4 dogs) for beach hikes a couple days a week. Most of my clients treat their dogs to a once-a-week beach hike with me to complement their regular walking schedule. We spend time being wild in nature. It's good for everyone's health to stray a little bit from the sidewalk and/or manicured dog parks.

About Axel M.

Safety, trust & environment

Everyone is off leash, so I'm vigilant while we play. I only take well behaved dogs without behavioral issues, for everyone's safety. I treat all dogs as if they were my own.

Information Axel M. would like to know about your pet

Do they have any behavioral issues relating to people, dogs, bicycles, motorcycles, horses? How good is their recall? What's their off-leash experience? Do they have any food allergies or dietary restrictions? What are their favorite treats?

A typical day

We run, play with toys, swim, and explore well defined hiking trails. We sometimes chase after crows, though I don't encourage it. Sometimes we stare at horses. Sometimes they stare at us.

Once-a-week beach hike

Pet care experience

I currently only offer once-a-week, off-leash, 1.5-2 hour beach hikes with small packs. I've been walking small and large packs of dogs (up to 16) part time for about a year. Aside from that, I've been surrounded by dogs most of my life. It's rare that I come across a dog that I don’t immediately get along with.

My dog Quin adores Axel! She loves going to the beach or park with him, and she always comes back happy, healthy and tired. Axel is amazing with the dogs is reliable and trustworthy. I give him my highest recommendation.

Axel has hélped me with the walking of the many dogs I walk and my own senior dogs. Axel is one of the most stellar dog walkers I have met; not only how he walks dogs but the way he relates to their personalities and becomes their personal friends. I can't say enough about Axel, my dogs are very excited when he visits them.

Axel has taken my dog, Otto on an off leash pack walk a couple times a week for a little over a year. When I first met Axel it was immediately apparent that he has a special relationship with the dogs he cares for. He is attentive and interacts with the dogs, and he encourages their playful interaction. He keeps the pack size to a reasonable number, and vets dogs for potential problems. As a rule, Axel avoids crowded dog parks and brings the dogs on an off leash longer walk through the coastal hills and dunes that lead to the beach and back. I usually receive a video or two, and Otto is happily exhausted when he returns hours later. When Axel comes to the door to pick him up, Otto's excitement is overwhelming. It is more accurate to call Axel a dog adventurer than a dog walker. If your dog is cooperative and adventurous and if you want to give them a much richer experience than a dog park, I highly recommend Axel!

Not only is Axel an attentive, kind, and organized pet caregiver, but you can also tell he genuinely cares about our dog Nellie and any other he interacts with. Nellie has spent many days a week with Axel over the last several months and I love seeing how excited she gets when he picks her up! I’ve been to the dog park and run into Axel, and he is constantly playing and engaging while keeping safety top of mind. I would strongly recommend him to any pet parent.
