Training & support
Before a dog ever steps on the bus, owners schedule a 30-minute in-person Get To Know meeting at their home. During this visit, your hiker meets the dog, gathers home access information, and sets up a custom schedule. This personalized onboarding ensures every pup feels comfortable and every owner feels confident.
Ideal candidate
The ideal candidate is passionate about dogs and the outdoors, eager to serve pet owners who want their dogs to enjoy exercise and companionship but may not have the time to take them on regular hikes themselves. You should be a community-focused leader who values safety and loves making dogs as happy as they make us.
