Mut Struts Group Hikes - Dog Walking - Los Gatos, CA

Member since Feb 2020

Hi! Does your dog love hiking and need more than a neighborhood walk? How about an adventure with other doggie friends for 1 1/2hours? I'm a Bay Area native and take groups of 3-6 dogs on hour long hikes within the Oakland area. Adventures are to nature trails, redwoods, shorelines, beaches, etc. Dogs are usually out of the house about 1.5-2.5 hours including transport.

Trips are $25-$35

I am insured, licensed, with background check and references available.

How did you hone your craft?

I've had a strong connection with animals since I was a toddler. I was the main caretaker of 6 Rottweilers (100-160Ibs) throughout the years within my own family.  As an adult, I've independently rescued/rehabilitated several dogs in California and Costa Rica. I've also volunteered at several shelters, animal welfare organizations, mobile adoptions, farm sanctuaries, etc. throughout northern and southern California. In high school and at SFSU I founded "Voices for Animals", a student based animal welfare group. Additionally, I've continued lobbying for legislation supporting animals rights and am a lifelong activist. I love animals and they truly do make me happy.
