Bow Wow Dog hiking

We have been using Nelson for almost two years now. I found Nelson and Bow Wow Dog Hiking through Google after moving to a new area. I have two large dogs that are used to lots of off-leash time and I needed a dog walker that could provide lots of exercise while we were away at work.Nelson came to our house for an initial meeting and took the boys on a trial walk. Our young guy is very social but our older dog is particular and shy when it comes to new people. Both boys loved Nelson and getting out to hike and socialize with different dogs. They would often go out for 1.5+ hours , enjoying different trails and conservations with Nelson's pack.I got lots of pictures and updates which I love and Nelson was quick to bring forth any concerns or suggestions to help my dogs.I would recommend this service for dogs that are (mostly) obedient, have lots of energy and love going on new adventures each day.

Nelson treats our Velma like she's his own, which is comforting and reassuring. The hikes are exactly what our girl needs because she is a high energy doggie. She comes home spent and happy as can be. We couldn't be happier (Velma included) and we are incredibly grateful for Nelson and Bow Bow Dog Hiking!!!

Nelson has been with our chocolate lab since we brought our puppy home at 8 weeks old - first for puppy breaks, then for walks and hikes when Soma got older. He is as attached to our dog as we are. It is such a relief to know that Nelson is always there to take our dog out during our work day so that he can get exercise and socialize with other dogs. It is the highlight of the dog's day. We are so grateful that Nelson genuinely cares so much for our pet.

Nelson is truly the best. I highly highly recommend his services!He has a deep understanding and love for all his dog clients and cares about them like they’re his own! I know that my pup will be safe and happy when he goes out with Nelson. And I know he has a blast because of the photos Nelson sends us after every hike!Nelson is very trustworthy, knowledgeable and great at communicating to constantly further his bond with the dogs. This was such an amazing relief when I first started sending my puppy out with him. It helped ease any worries I had becuase I knew my pup was in the best hands. Now we’re regular clients and my pups hikes with Nelson are some of his favourite days! :)He really is one of the best in the business and I cannot recommend him enough!

Our labradoodle Duncan has never been happier or more tired! I have been waiting for a service like this to come to our neighborhood for a long time and then Nelson came along. I work downtown and am gone all day - I felt bad about Duncan only getting a walk around the block every evening. Now Dunc and his buddies head out off leash every day - exploring, running, playing and jumping and he comes back exhausted. Nelson genuinely cares about his charges - treats all the doggies like his own and adores every one of them. You can see how he is with them. Duncan also loves Nelson and is waiting excitedly by the door every day!! It's such a load off and I couldn't wish for better than Nelson. The best part is getting the photos every evening - it warms your heart seeing them all play together! If you're thinking about using Bow Wow Dog Hiking, don't hesitate. Nelson is definitely the guy you want looking after your pups!!

My dog isn’t just a dog, he’s family. But he’s also a handful. When I first started looking for a dog walker I was terrified. This is someone you’re going to trust with a beloved member of your family. When I first met Nelson, my anxiousness faded away, as I realized how much Nelson truly loved animals. The thing that really sealed the deal for me was a couple months into having Nelson walk George everyday. He came to pick the dog up when he thought I wasn’t home. Hearing George so excited to see Nelson, and Nelson silly talking back to him is one of my favourite memories. Nelson has been coming almost daily for over a year now; and my dog is heartbroken any day he knows Nelson should be coming and I’ve asked him not to. If you’re looking for an amazing dog walker, you’d be crazy to look anywhere else.

My 2 labs...…..Cole and Phoebe LOVE being with Nelson and his lab Mia on their LONG off- leash hikes! Updates and pictures are an added bonus.Thanks Nelson....you're the best!Sincerely,Arlene

We are so grateful we found Nelson. Jasper is a border collie/lab full of energy and loves his walks. He is sensitive and caring. Jasper waits at the door for Nelson to arrive and he is excited every time he ventures out with all his friends. Nelson is very trustworthy and caring. Nelson sends pictures of each outing and comments on their day! He is honest and always keep me informed. From the pictures he sends, the dogs are always connected and have a great time. I would definitely recommend Nelson 100%! Thanks Nelson

Nelson takes such great care of our dog. She loves going on her dog hikes with him and gets some serious exercise. Plus Nelson takes some incredible photos for you to see your dog in action. Highly recommend using him for all your dog walking needs!

Nelson is amazing! He takes our dog out for at least an hour hike (usually 1.5 hours) and she comes back exhausted and happy. He cares about our dog like she was his own and will go the extra mile to make sure she’s taken care of, including dropping by to let her out for last minute pee breaks if she’s sick. Nelson is very flexible and a pleasure to deal with. We especially love his hiking blog where we can catch up on the adventures of our dog and her hiking group! We would highly recommend Nelson if you’re looking for a great dog walker/hiker!
