Wilderness Hike
Six to seven hours door to door on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, 4 to 7 dogs matched by pace, size and play style. Pickup, dropoff and a full towel-off are included in the price.
Out of the city, into the woods
What We Do
Every outing is the same promise: a real trail, a small pack, and a guide who knows your dog by name.
Our Services
City Ramble
A regular in-city walk, but longer and slower, at least an hour on the ground. Off-leash time or a dog park stop can be added if you'd like.
Solo Summit
One dog, one guide, a longer and quieter route for reactive dogs, seniors, or recovering athletes. Siblings from the same home are welcome to join too.
In-home pet sitting
We also offer in-home dog sitting, so your dog can stay comfortable in familiar surroundings while you're away.
A day on the trail
How It Works
-
01
Pickup
We collect your dog from your door between 7:30 and 8:30am.
-
02
Drive Out
Forty to sixty minutes out of the city, out of traffic, into real forest areas.
-
03
Trail Time
At least 3 hours off leash on the trail, in the creek, and through the leaves.
-
04
Dropoff
Paws checked, coats towelled, water topped up, and your dog back home between 1:30 and 2:30pm, ready for a nap. Most dogs only need a quick let out in the evening after a full day on the trail.
We Meet Your Dog First
Before your dog ever joins the pack, we come to you for a free 20 to 30 minute in-city meet-and-greet walk. It's how we get to know your dog, see how they move and socialize, and figure out which service is the best fit before we ever schedule a hike.
What kind of dogs do we work with?
The City Ramble is open to every breed, age, and size, and we can adjust Solo Summits, Sibling Summits, and Pack Playdates to fit almost any dog's individual needs. For our Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday wilderness pack hikes, we make sure every dog is an appropriate age, health, and size to maintain a safe, well-matched pack dynamic.

We Love Every Dog!
We do have size requirements for the dogs' safety, but we happily welcome smaller dogs like dachshunds and corgis. We also accept pit bulls, dogo argentinos, pinschers, and other dogs that some consider dangerous. We believe all dogs deserve a fair chance, and we take the same care and preparation no matter the breed.
