Been raising pups since moving to Salem in 2013; first with one pup from puppy to old age and now with a new puppy. He goes on multiple walks a day around Salem and has a whole network of doggie friends in Salem. Happy to take your pup along or on their own solo walks!

Chris has walked Winnie a few times now and is always extremely kind and quick to respond if I ever need to get in touch. Winnie is always super happy when she gets back from her walks, especially when she gets to walk with his adorable pup, Prismo :) I will definitely rebook with Chris for any future walks!

Safety, trust & environment

We don't have a yard so I take the pup out for a good number of walks throughout the day. We go over to the Derby Wharf, Salem Common, and Collins cove to run around and sometimes play with other pups. Still exploring the neighborhood of Los Angeles but we love walking everywhere! Always eager for an opportunity to explore a new neighborhood walking your pup!

Please let me know if any special needs or particular behaviors with your pup. Do they have a tendency to try to wiggle out of their harness? Any specific dog breeds to avoid on our walks because they just don't get along? Can I walk your dog with my pup Prismo or should we go solo?
