Daycare, walks and overnight care, priced plainly
Every dog begins with a relaxed home meet-and-greet or a trial morning, so it is matched to the right playgroup, handler or route. Where a price begins with “from”, the figure is confirmed at that first meeting.
-
GPS-tracked solo walk
from $28
A thirty-minute one-to-one walk on the lead for dogs who do best with individual attention, seniors moving at a gentle sniffing pace, or dogs who would rather avoid other dogs. Every visit includes key or smart-lock entry, a double-clipped harness check, paw drying on wet days, a fresh water bowl and a GPS route summary with photos. An hour-long walk is $40.
Suits a shy rescue, a senior who likes a slow sniff, or a dog who would rather not share the pavement.
-
Puppy visits and Preschool
from $26
Midday home visits for puppies under seven months in Bend, fitted to the house-training schedule, with a potty break, lunch and a crate break while vaccinations are finished. Once ready, a puppy moves into the supervised Puppy Preschool group, with polite greeting games, new surfaces to explore and plenty of naps. Puppy Preschool days are $46.
Suits a puppy under seven months, still house-training or finishing its vaccinations.
-
Half-day play session
$29
Five hours of structured play, enrichment puzzles and handler attention in a playroom matched by size and energy, taken as a morning or an afternoon. A favourite with hybrid-schedule households who want their dog exercised and content without a full day's stay.
Suits work-from-home days, errands, or a dog easing into group daycare for the first time.
-
Full-day enrichment daycare
from $38
Supervised morning and afternoon play on cushioned rubber flooring and secure turf, balanced by a calm midday rest in a dimmed room, so a dog comes home happy rather than overtired. An afternoon photo report card follows. A single day is $44; multi-day packs bring it down to $38 a day.
Suits a full working day, booked as a standing weekday place or one day at a time.
-
Small-pack buddy walk
$24
A forty-five-minute walk with at most three compatible dogs from nearby streets, matched by stride and temperament, so no time is lost riding around in a van. Expect brisk walking, loose-lead practice, fresh water and photo check-ins.
Suits a sociable dog who enjoys walking with a regular pair of neighbourhood friends.
-
Overnight boarding
$74 a night
Kept for established daycare dogs, so every overnight guest already knows the building, the scents and the handlers. Boarding includes the daytime playgroups, dinner served to the owner's own instructions (raw and refrigerated diets included), an individual glass-fronted suite with orthopaedic bedding, and a last garden break before bed.
Suits a daycare regular with at least three visits behind them, while the family is away.
How a new dog gets started
-
01
Tell us about your dog
Through the contact form or by telephone: age, size, vaccination dates and the service you have in mind.
-
02
We suggest the right fit
Thicket & Trail Dog Walking says which of the six services suits your dog, or says plainly that none of them does.
-
03
Meet-and-greet or trial
A free home meet-and-greet for walks, or a $25 daycare trial morning credited to your first pack. The office confirms the place.
When group care is not the right fit
A dog that guards its food, struggles around other dogs or is recovering from surgery may be better suited to a solo walk than a playgroup. Thicket & Trail Dog Walking says so at the meet-and-greet rather than on the first morning, and that visit carries no charge so the conversation can happen first. A second dog from the same household receives 15% off daycare, walks and shared suites.
Ready for a meet-and-greet or a trial morning?
Tell the office a little about your dog through the contact form, or use Book to start the arrangements. A place is confirmed by the office once the dog has been met.
