Group Dog Walking Service in Kirkland WA
Kirkland residents: reserve your spot for pack walks launching April 2025. Limited spaces available. We’re so excited to offer group dog walking services for folks with well trained dogs.
Give your dog the gift of routine socialization.
Traditional dog daycare services and pet sitting offerings have a fatal flaw for many dog owners: they can leave your dog unengaged, with limited enrichment unless you have the type of dog that can entertain themselves. For semi-active dogs with a calm disposition: we introduce a group dog walking service that engages all their senses in a safe & structured environment which helps reinforce existing leash training skills.
We provide a livable Eastside wage
Our wages allow our staff to live on the eastside and commute to/from work in your neighborhood, so you’re not let hanging when a bridge is blocked.
Dog safety is our priority
We keep groups small to ensure dog safety and a productive walk is at the forefront of our pack walking service. Your walker will use discretion in creating groups and matching dog personalities.
All walkers must pass a thorough drive test with the owner of the company, along with on leash control assessment and random audits.
Putting your dog first
Many dog walking businesses on the eastside start their company by offering pack walks themselves because it is a lucrative service offering. We started with solo private dog walking which gave us insight & experience in understanding and managing risks, dog reactivity/disposition and external triggers – which helped inform the safety measures and introduction protocol for group walks that will ensure pack safety for our group dog walks.
STIMULATE ALL THEIR SENSES.
Providing structured enrichment.
Our private dog walking clients find that their pups learn our schedule and wait for us at their door. They also find that the anticipation of a walk can be so stimulating that other “boredom” based negative behaviors are reduced at home (chewing on furniture, etc).
Group dog walks engage your dog with structured exercise, and ensure your pup has something to look forward to while you’re at work.

Engage all the senses
Safe & Structured Group Walks
Our first few walks are under an introduction protocol: we assess every dog’s ability to interact positively with the pack, and this may require that we put your dog in another time/day temporarily or permanently.
This helps us ensure we’re ensuring productive time for the rest of the group, and sometimes it just takes a new set of dogs for your dog to learn the rhythm.
If your dog is still enticing other dogs to play or pulling towards interesting smells: we will recommend local trainers before continuing.
We hire top talent and we make sure to retain this talent so you’re not left scrambling to find back-up options.
Our walkers are trained to handle urban challenges: off leash dogs, hazards, narrow streets, fast & quiet cars
Online scheduling makes it easy to book, rechedule, or cancel a visit. Receive post-walk updates by email!

How does it compare to dog daycare & petsitting?
Traditional dog daycare services and pet sitting offerings have a fatal flaw for many dog owners: they can leave your dog unengaged, with limited enrichment unless you have the type of dog that can entertain themselves. For working breeds and active dogs, we provide a group dog walking service that engages all the senses in a structured environment which helps reinforce existing lease training skills. Your dog will arrive home tired and stimulated!
Does your dog socialize in dog daycare?
A lot of dogs in dog daycare can get bored and just.. wait for you. Your daycare might say everything is fine, but what do you think?
Are you comfortable with risks of dog daycare?
Walking a pack of dogs is generally pretty safe but dog daycare has a lot of compounding external problems that can be challenging: poor employee pay, and employees expected to watch many dogs at once. Are you OK with that risk?
