On-leash Group Hikes and in-home Boarding Services for Your Canine Companion
About Us
With over a decade of professional experience working with dogs and having trained over 1,000 canine companions, I started Pup Club to provide dogs with the active, nature-filled experiences they crave. My journey began with my own German Shepherd, Mila, whose boundless energy and drive inspired me to create a service that goes beyond the typical dog walk.
At Pup Club, we believe in the transformative power of nature. Our group nature hikes are designed to help dogs connect with their wild roots, providing them with the opportunity to explore, play, and socialize in a natural environment. This is especially vital for dogs confined to urban and suburban settings, where their opportunities to experience the outdoors are limited.
Our mission is simple: to help dogs be dogs. By offering a safe and structured way for dogs to immerse themselves in nature, we strive to enhance their physical and mental well-being. We are dedicated to giving every dog the chance to experience the joy and freedom that comes with being out in the wild, just as nature intended.

Our hikes are designed to provide a safe, on-leash experience where dogs can enjoy the sights, sounds, and smells of the great outdoors while socializing with a friendly pack of other dogs.
Nature Exploration: Your dog will enjoy hiking through scenic trails, parks, and nature reserves, providing them with much-needed mental and physical stimulation.

Our pickup times for daily hikes range between 11AM and 12:30 PM, depending on location. Drop off’s are between 3 and 4:30 PM.
Our goal is to make our pick up and drop off service as simple and seamless as possible. We ask that a garage code, access code, or drop key be provided so that we can make pickup and drop off as quick as possible and so that it does not interrupt your schedule.
We ask that dogs be kept in one specific area before pickups so that we are not searching for dogs and causing any disruptions. Please leave leashes, collars and any other equipment in a place that is easily accessible.
And remember to leave some towels for those rainy day!

Yes! Dogs of all breed and size are welcome to join our pack. Our main criteria for joining our hiking pack is good temperament. We evaluate each dog for sound temperament prior to joining our hikes. Our goal is to make sure that dogs have a great time, enjoy themselves, and are able to build bonds and socialize with other even-tempered dogs.

Keep it simple.
-A collar with ID (dog tag, embroidered info on collar, airtag, etc)
-A leash
-Some towels at home in case your dog gets wet or dirty.
We recommend Orvis collars and leashes for their excellent quality and ability to be customized. Please keep leashes to 6’ and under.
Collars should fit snug. We will adjust any collar that is loose and poses a risk.

Things come up, we get it!
We ask that any hiking cancellations be made, at the latest, 10 AM the day of hike.
If we do not receive notice and show up repeatedly for skipped or missed services, we reserve the right to bill for these services in full. Excessive skipping without communication will result in dismissal from our pack.
Boarding cancellations must be made at least 24 hours before boarding events begin.

Personal beds, toys, and belongings can create problems as some pups can become territorial over their own stuff. Please leave all beds, toys, bowls at home. We have everything your dog will need during their stay.
When we pick up pups for overnight boarding the only thing we need is enough food, medications and supplements for their stay. Please label food/meds/supplements in a disposable bag so that at the end of the stay we only have to return a tired and happy dog!
Any additional items brought for boarding are at the owner’s discretion and we will not be responsible for any loss or damage.
-
We feed all dogs individually in a separate room away from any other dogs to create a stress-free environment and avoid any sort of issues. Eating around other dogs can be stressful to some pups and our goal is to make sure every dog is comfortable during their stay.
We have experience administering a wide variety of medications from oral to otic solutions, pills, and others. If your dog is taking any specific medications or supplements, please let us know ahead of time and leave detailed instructions on administering medication (time, quantity, method of administering, etc)

The main way we keep clients updated with their dogs daily activities is through our instagram. We post daily in our story and try to post as much as possible so you can see what your dog is doing throughout the day. We can also send text and video updates as requested.
