Stay Pooched | Group + Private Dog Walking

Natalya is great. Her calm presence puts dogs at ease. My dog, Blackie, is a rescue from Cuba who was not used to socializing with strange dogs. He would pull at the leash, growl and lunge at any dog that entered his visual field, near or far. With Natalya's experience and skill, Blackie now sees dogs in his environment as just part of the scenery. He can walk past other dogs on a path or sidewalk without reacting. He still has a ways to go with dog socialization, but I know with Natalya's expert help that we will get him out there running with her regular group. It is great to be part way on this journey and to see real change with my dog's neurotic behaviours and am looking forward to seeing much more.Natalya also provides written feedback and text messages to let you know how your dog is doing so you can co-ordinate strategies. She also sends, and posts lots of pictures of your dog on his or her walks which are very much appreciated and treasured.I recommend Stay Pooched Dog Walking to every dog owner who wants to get their dog outside for more activity during the long work day. It's great that she is able to skillfully accommodate dogs with behaviour issues.Thanks Natalya

Our dog Linken loves hiking with Natalya. He is so happy and very tired after. The group of dogs he goes with have so much fun. We highly recommend Stay Pooched. The absolute best!!

We've been with the Stay Pooched family for over a year now and are so glad we found them. They are flexible, communicative, and reliable. When either Natalya or Karin pick up our dog, he is always happy to see them. They take him to some great nearby trails/beaches to run and explore with his friends and comes home tuckered out every time. The pictures they send daily are amazing! The team at Stay Pooched is highly recommend. They will show lots of love and care to your pup.

Natalya is an amazing person who has a special bond with dogs. My shy boy absolutely adores her and has been having the best time with her for the past couple of months. Her love and compassion for dogs as well as her diligence are apparent in so many ways, like when she makes sure that the dogs are securely placed in her van, or when she dries off the dogs with a towel after they go swimming, or when she not only monitors but also plays with the dogs herself during the walks (rather than simply letting them off-leash to hang out on their own), or when she sends a message to check how my dog is doing after he was sick. Very warm and genuine person all around.She is also very professional -- always on time, arranges an initial one-on-one meetup prior to taking a dog on, limits the number of dogs she takes on walks, and is a great communicator (e.g. sending reminders for holidays...etc.).I love watching the live videos she posts on Instagram and seeing my dog play with his StayPooched crew. Additionally, she's an amazing photographer and sends so many awesome photos after each walk (l've actually printed and framed a few of them). I have zero hesitation leaving my dog in her care, and would highly recommend her if you're looking for a dog walker.

I cannot recommend Stay Pooched enough! My dog goes for weekly walks with Natalya and he absolutely loves it. Natalya is professional, caring, responsible, and goes above and beyond to treat your dog like her own. I don’t know what I’d do without Stay Pooched to give me a break once a week and take my guy up to the woods for a good and tiring play time!

I can't say enough good things about Stay Pooched! Natalya is amazing and has worked with us to ensure our sometimes difficult dog has a good time! Pirx is so excited to go on walks with Natalya when she gets picked up, and is tired and happy when she gets home.

Natalya has been amazing! She is so good with our dog Hendricks. She has great energy about her and is really great with dogs. She has amazing communication and is really invested in our dog’s well being. After the walks she gives us a little report with pictures which is always so nice. She’s very familiar with our dog’s personality and after two ish years with her she is able to let us know if she thinks something might be off with our dog which is so helpful. Natalya you’re the best!

Maggie absolutely LOVES her adventure walks. Natalya is amazing and has a wonderful way with the puppies. She takes the time to know and connect with the dogs. She sends regular updates and pictures to the owner. Highly recommended!

We love Stay Pooched and Natalya. She has an incredible way with the dogs, takes them on fantastic hikes and always brings them back tuckered out. Couldn’t recommend the group walks enough.

We love Natalya and Stay Pooched! We were introduced to Natalya by our previous dog walker as we were moving out of her service area. Natalya is professional, reliable and our dog always came back from her adventure walks super tired which was awesome. Natalya also took fantastic photos of our dog that were professional quality! We would recommend this business to anyone with a dog who is looking for a dog walking service!
