Adventure Dog Hikes & Trail Runs 🐾
If your dog needs more exercise than a typical walk, you’ve found the right place. I’m an active dog owner who runs 4–8 miles most days with my friendly German Shepherd, and we love bringing a well-behaved adventure buddy along. These are not short neighborhood walks — they’re 1–2 hour trail hikes or runs designed for dogs who thrive on movement and outdoor exploration. Because these outings are active and often on trails, I’m selective about the dogs I take so everyone stays safe and has fun. Ideal dogs for these adventures: • Friendly with other dogs, people, and trail traffic • Comfortable around bikes and other runners • Have reliable recall and good listening skills • Enjoy long hikes or runs and have the stamina for it I usually take one client dog per outing, and they’ll join me and my German Shepherd for a trail run or hike. Depending on the season, we may explore local trails or head up north for cooler mountain hikes. Either way, your dog will come home happy, exercised, and tired in the best way. I know how hard it can be for busy humans to keep up with high-energy dogs — especially larger or working breeds that need serious movement to stay happy and balanced. My goal is to help give them the exercise, enrichment, and adventure they crave. After every outing, I’ll return your pup safe, satisfied, and with paws cleaned up. Perfect for local dogs who need extra exercise, but I’m also happy to help visiting dogs if you can confirm they have strong recall and reliable trail manners. Send a message and let’s see if your pup would enjoy joining our adventures! 🐕🦺

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, your dog will be treated like part of the family. With my own friendly and playful dog to keep them company, your pup will have a built-in buddy for fun and companionship. I provide constant supervision since I work from home, ensuring their needs are always met. Whether they prefer snuggling up in bed with me or resting in a crate, I’ll follow their routine to make them as comfortable as possible. Their happiness, safety, and comfort are my top priorities!
Ratings and reviews
Kristen was amazing! She has a great house for dog sitting with a lovely backyard and great trails nearby that my dog loved. She was attentive and I knew Reggie was getting out to go potty regularly. She checked in a lot with photos and videos, and was flexible and communicative when my plans changed. She let Reggie come over or meet Denali and have a trail run before my long trip too which was great. Thank you Kristen!
Kristen's home was spacious and welcoming. There were plenty of opportunities for my dog to play outside off leash, and to hang out with two other buddies. Her dog was a good influence on my young dog. Kristen is informative and easy to coordinate with. I'll definitely be working with her again!
Nico had such a blast!! Awesome experience!
Kristen is attentive and accommodating. The fenced yard is great, and the care is high quality. Pups can get lots of walks staying here too.
Kristen was very kind and communicative. ❤️ definitely recommend her services!
What a huge relief to find Kristen…and then to know my Millie was well taken care of. Thank you for the pictures and check in text message. Kristen and her pup are great and kind.

Schedule
I spend most of my time at home working on my laptop, which means I’m always around to keep an eye on the dogs in my care. I already have a dog of my own, so outdoor time, exercise, and plenty of attention are naturally part of my daily routine. Whether it’s a break for a run, some playtime in the yard, or cuddles during downtime, your dog will be treated like part of the family. Pet care fits seamlessly into my schedule, ensuring your pup gets the love and care they deserve!
