Your Dog Doesn’t Need a “Potty Break.” They Need a Walk.
Muddy Paws runs small group walks for socialization, structure, and actual exercise. Dogs move. Dogs learn. Dogs come home tired.

30-Minute Group Walks
Structured walks with 2–4 dogs. Socialization without chaos, better leash skills over time.
60-Minute Group Walks
For the dogs who laugh at 30 minutes. For the dogs who have extra energy and need more than a lap around the block.
Boarding (In Our Home)
Home-based boarding for the right fit. Limited spots. Calm environment.
Overnight Pet Sitting
We stay in your home. Your dog keeps their routine. You get peace of mind.
30-Minute Group Walks
This is our most popular option for a reason: dogs get out, get moving, and get a social life.
A group walk is different than a solo stroll. There’s less zig-zagging, less chaos, and more focus. Dogs settle into the pack and stop reacting to every noise like it’s their job.
Most dogs are out of the house longer than 30 minutes because we’re running a route — rides, pickups, drop-offs. Owners get a dog who comes home physically tired and mentally tired — not ping-ponged around by every sound, squirrel, and trash truck.
60-Minute Group Walks
Same format, more time.
This is for high-energy dogs who need time to actually decompress. More mileage, more repetition, more “we’re walking” instead of “I must scream at that trash truck.”
Routes vary by schedule and locations. Low traffic neighborhoods when that’s best. Other times it could be places like Horn Pond, Pine Banks, or The Fells. Always on-leash.

We’ve been using Muddy Paws for three years, and we’ve never had a walker that wasn’t awesome! We trust Muddy Paws walkers to treat our dogs as if they were their own. One of our dogs had special needs, and Muddy Paws went above and beyond to work with us. I can’t say enough good things about Muddy Paws!
