Jessica B. - We love Dogs Go Hiking on the North Shore. We've been with them since they started and our dog Ollie loves all his walkers, the dogs he plays with, and comes home exhausted. DGH knows know to communicate with clients, shares walk summaries with the owners and is on time. We recommend them 100%!
Elizabeth C. -
Absolutely love everyone at Dogs Go Hiking. Giles has been with the group hikes but recently switched to shorter walks because of his arthritis. All the walkers have been incredibly kind and understanding of our old man!
He’s even had a sleepover and was showered with attention and treats. Would recommend all their services!
Gemma G. -
My pup adores the hikes and always gets so excited to see her hiker come pick her up! They are so very communicative and organized, as well. Love the app, and highly recommend it! Tired happy pup photo for reference 🐾❤️
Nicole B. - I am the pickiest dog mom ever! We just used Dogs Go Hiking to watch our two hounds and I can’t say enough good things. Our pups were so loved and cared for and we received updates throughout each day on how they were doing. Thank you, Christine and Amity!!!
Jeanette G. -
Boomer, of Newburyport MA, has been regularly attending Dogs Go Hiking since the Autumn of 2021. On hike days, he's so happy & excited to be getting out with his friends. Before he started with them, he was a bored, lazy & overweight dog.
As of his recent vet appointment last month, for a 10-year-old lab, he's muscular and lean, and his confidence has changed so much. It's the nicest thing anyone can do for their dog. In the cooler weather, they hike, play ball in the fields, and explore the trails. When it's very hot, they take short hikes and play in the cool water together. The hikers always have his health & wellbeing as their #1 priority. The off-road hikes are enriching to your dog who naturally wants to explore in a pack.
Stephanie A. - Dogs Go Hiking has been taking my oldest dog on hikes for 9 years. They now also hike my second, younger dog. The hikes are scheduled online making it so easy for my family to stay organized. The hikers, most importantly, are the most caring individuals who truly treat my dog like their own. I can't recommend this business enough!
Leslie A. - Since we moved to Scituate 18 months ago, Amity and her team of amazing dog ‘hikers’ have been a godsend. Maisy loves her hikes and gets great exercise/socialization, and I look forward to getting the fun pictures they send each time while I’m at work. They’ve also been super helpful for ‘pet sit visits’ if we’re away for a day. Everything is really well organized, so there are no mix-ups - but it’s the personal care our pup gets that makes it special. 😊
