Our Story
Once upon a time, there was a girl and her dog.
Our journey starts right here in the heart of the Okanagan with a beautiful Australian Shepherd named Lady. Our little family had just moved to town, and we had an itch to make some dog friends! However it didnt take long to reaize that at the time , our options for dog friendly parks were very limited. There wasnt really a place for dogs like Lady to stretch their legs and run, chase or really play. So i sat down on the face of Campbell Mountain with her, and asked myself. What would Lady do?
Lady, being the extremely social and adventurous dog that she was, would have made as many friends as possible, and lead them all on some amazing hikes through the backwoods of the Okanagan to hidden trails where no one roamed on the weekdays, when their humans were too busy working. So I did just that! The summer of 2022, I began to offer my services part time, bringing Lady with me as an ambassador for our little business. She was so happy to finally have some friends in town, and every dog that joined our small but growing pack, started to feel like family. That's when we met Benson (left), a Miniature American Shepherd with a lot of spunk, and even more love. He became Lady's best friend, and eventually her little brother. They would spend the entire 1hr hike chasing each other through the backwoods of the Okanagan.
They were living their best lives, and I was so happy to have had the opportunity to steward them towards a long healthy and happy life. Together they had inspired me to do everything I could to ensure that every dog I met got to have the same amazing experience. So we continued to build this company together. As the years moved on and the packs continued to grow, it became very clear that this service was in high demand. So I decided it was time to dedicate myself fully to the growth and expansion of what was becoming Muddy Paws. Unfortunately right around that time, Lady had passed on to the rainbow bridge. She had lived a life full of adventure, friends, treats, and so much more. And it was thanks to her that Muddy Paws grew to become what it was. And so I vowed to continue this business, and build it into something even greater! A dog walking service that was not only accessible, but dependable, safe, reliable, and trustworthy. I wanted to make sure that I contributed to raising the standard of dog walking services in the Okanagan, so the long jouney of becoming adequatly certified and educated had just begun.
Since then our little family pack has grown to include the handsomest boy Grimm (left). He takes his role as little brother very seriously, and Benson and Grimm are both ready to take on their new positions as company ambassadors. They've got some big paw prints to fill, but together, these two boys can take on the world!
With a whole lot of work, and a sprinkle of good timing, Muddy Paws has now expanded to include an amaing team of Dog Walkers that are excitted to help build this dream with us! It's thanks to these lovely individuals that we are now able to offer our services from Summerland all the way to Oliver! We are so excitted to be out here helping you steward your dogs towards their best lives!
Together we hope to continue expanding, and building this company into a Dog Walking Service that you can always depend on.
Join us on our next big adventure!
