Client Testimonials

“If your dog has a wild heart…

I highly recommend you give him or her an adventure day.”

We LOVE Wild Pup Adventure! Our dog, Olive, has been on adventures and has stayed with Toby. Toby truly treats her as her own, which is very comforting. We can completely relax on vacation, knowing our sweet Olive is safe. Olive is excited every time she sees Toby and she looks so happy in the great pictures that are sent throughout the day. Highly recommend Wild Pup Adventure!

Our dog friends deserve to be wild and free once in a while. Wild Pup Adventure gives dogs a chance, in a very safe and well supervised way, to let loose! The owner Toby absolutely loves taking the dogs on adventures. My miniature poodle Charlie loves going out with them, on a bi-monthly basis. The team send regular notices throughout the day and take amazing pictures too. If your dog needs a boost, to socialize and run, to be totally worn out and happy, Wild Pup is the way to go. My vet has exclaimed how fit and muscled Charlie is for his age (11) and I give lots of credit to Toby and Wild Pup!

Loki’s life became imminently happier when we found Wild Pup Adventure. He’s a retriever mix and needs outdoor time to work his nose, get wet fetching sticks, and socialize untethered with other dogs. Toby LOVES what she does and really knows each dog’s tendencies, likes, and dynamic in a group. She is also a fantastic communicator and has each dog’s best interest in mind. She has worked with me on Loki’s particular needs and behaviors with great success. He goes absolutely nuts with joy when he sees her and leaves without a backward glance at me for a day of fun. When he returns, he gets a bath and dinner, and he happily curls up and snores for the rest of the evening, dreaming of his adventures. The pictures we get from each adventure are absolutely stunning and warm my heart with the joy I see in each happy pup, not just Loki. If your dog has a wild heart, I highly recommend you give him or her an adventure day.

Toby a dog whisperer. She is awesome with my dogs! She got to know them so quickly and knew how to work with their individual quirks. I always feel like they are in great hands with her and would highly recommend her to anyone!

— Jessica

Toby’s love of dogs is evident in the care and knowledge she has of what dogs need! Her joy in exercising dogs is obvious! She loves her job! Toby is a true dog lover and it shows! Her passion is obvious! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her!

We’ve been sending our dog on adventures since he was a pup. Toby, and team, are by far his favorite in the world and it makes us so happy to have him home tired and happy at the end of they day.

“My dog waits by the door for her next adventure...”

One of our goals is to give dogs a life worth living, a life of adventure, friends, and fun!

Toby took wonderful care of my best friend. He had an amazing and active day, and she was responsive throughout the day. I got a very thorough report when I came to pick him up about his health and behavior. Big Boy was happy and pooped from his great day with his new friends. I highly recommend Toby and Pup for your canine pal.

— Dmitra

Love this service! So so worth it.

— Ruth M. 

My dog, Bailey, has been a regular client of WPA for two years now, and I swear he knows the day he’s going for an adventure because he sits at the door and whines all morning. Toby is a pro with the dogs and I never worry about Bailey when he’s out with them, even when they are out of cell range. And the amazing photos of Bailey that Toby takes on the adventures are far and away the best shots I have of him. If your dog loves to run, run, and run some more, I can’t recommend WPA enough. You won’t ever regret this decision.

— Emily C.

Toby made things so easy and relaxing for us and our two 14-year old dogs! She communicated very well, asked questions and made us feel at ease that our dogs and our home were well taken care of. We got updates and photos and can’t wait to schedule with her again!

— Anish

“Toby must have been a dog in her past life.

She has an affinity and love for them that is unparalleled.”

Toby must have been a dog in her past life. She has an affinity and love for them that is unparalleled. She is great with dogs and all animals.

— Whitney

My dog goes crazy with joy when she hears the Wild Pup van pull up. It’s probably her favorite thing in the world. She comes back dirty and exhausted and sleeps for the rest of the day. She has also become more comfortable around other dogs since she’s been running with the Wild Pup pack.

— Sylvia A.

Weber loves his Wednesday adventures, and I really feel like these guys love my dog and love what they do! 

— Jill M.

“Wild Pup Adventure is the best service in Portland for active dogs!

They go to epic locations and really treat each dog like part of their extended family.”

Toby at Wild Pup Adventure has a pure passion for animals and offers creative services to meet dog care needs. With two dogs - each with their own specific exercise needs and personalities - she worked with us to create a balanced schedule for our family. I can see a huge difference in their discipline and behavior on days that they have been with Toby and are well exercised. She truly cares for your animals as if they were her very own and our pups love her! We are so thankful for what she has taught us and the care she has given our dogs in both private and group adventures. I can’t recommend her and the Wild Pup Adventure services enough - be sure to get on her schedule as soon as possible!

— Diana P. 

Harley loves her adventures with Wild Pup. Toby takes great care in making sure the dogs go to a great dog location where they get their zoomies out and come home exhausted. I completely trust her with my pup. And I know my pup loves her! The bonus is that we get very detailed reports on the day and beautiful pictures of their adventures.

— Ulrike D. 

Toby is the best- my high energy pup has the best day each week when she gets to go on her adventure. Such a great alternative to doggy day care!!

— Annemarie R.

Toby is so great with our extremely active guy - he adores her and I love him coming home worn out. I can’t say enough good things about Wild Pup Adventure!

— Sherron

Toby is the best! I can always trust that my dogs will have fun and they always come home tired and happy. The pictures they take really show how much fun the dogs are having and all of the amazing places that they go to play.

— Michael

“This is the best thing I have ever done for my dog…

and that makes me so happy for him!”

I would HIGHLY recommend Wild Pup Adventure! My girl has anxiety & lots of energy, so getting to get out to have new adventures & explore new things is so good for her. Toby is wonderful with her as well & SO patient. A tired puppy is a happy puppy!

— Christina

My dog waits by the door for her next adventure. She’s so happy when she comes back and brags to all of her extended pack about all the fantastic opportunities she’s afforded every Tuesday. She exudes good energy upon her return home wag wag....

— Lori

I’ve been sending my dog on adventures for over a year and am always grateful for how pooped he is when he gets back. Toby is a dog person and she really cares about your pups, and really enjoys what she does. Make an investment in your best friend and send him/her on a weekly adventure!!

— Jeff P.

I won’t trust my little ones with just anyone. WPA is fantastic!  Dante and Pico always come home so happy and tired! You get pics after every adventure. This service is worth every penny!!!

— Todd Beck 

Our dog, Archie, has been with Wild Pup Adventure since he was a pup. The team at Wild Pup has helped him grow, finding the right adventures for him as he grew. Now he gets to see his pack once a week - the best day ever for him every week. Cannot more highly recommend WPA!

— Sherron M.

“My high energy pup has the best day each week when she gets to go on her adventure…

It’s such a great alternative to doggy day care!!!”

My dog returned home from her running adventure happy and tired. Thank you for working with my high energy, strong girl. Pulling the recumbent trike at a full run was exactly what she needed. I highly recommend Wild Pup Adventure.

— Karen

It’s clear to see the deep love for animals that Toby has, and the exuberance she shows dogs. She’s super active and outdoorsy too, and is always taking dogs outside and playing with them and taking them on hikes. She fundamentally understands the needs of dogs, and takes joy in caring for them.

— Joshua

Toby was great with my 9 month old puppy, she really tailored the experience specifically to my dog and I loved the daily updates! As a new dog mom I was nervous about going out of town, but I knew I was leaving her in great hands. Highly recommended!

— Madaline

Wild Pup Adventure is the best service in Portland for active dogs! They go to epic locations and really treat each dog like part of their extended family. Everything they do is with the client’s well-being in mind. My dog has gone with them hiking and swimming and absolutely loves it! They even pick up and drop off at my home! I can’t say enough good things about Toby and Emilie.

— Aaron F.

Cadyn, my dog who gets to come to work with me @South Waterfront Dental, LOVES her weekly urban dog mushing runs so much! She gets out so much more energy that she wouldn’t be able to with a regular neighborhood walk. Toby is great! Very knowlegeable and sweet. My dog has had a great time on her runs & has bonded with her very quickly, which usually takes my girl some time! We highly recommend WPA!

— Christina M.

Toby is one of the wildest and most responsible women I know! Her love for dogs is palpable! My dog returns home from wild pup adventures energized and ready to relax. Toby sends me wonderful photos of my dog on his element. Thank you Wild Pup Adventure!!

— Yael P.

“Toby is amazing! Thoughtful and passionate about what she does…

Couldn’t ask for a better service!”

My dog loves WPA - she wiggles her entire body every time she sees Toby. The adventures are amazing, with TONS of incredible pictures, and my dog always comes home very tired and very happy. Wednesday’s are truly her favorite day. Highly highly recommend!

— Nina K.

I went on an hike with Wild Pup Adventure as a volunteer and was very impressed with the level professionalism and attention to detail regarding everything related to their client-dogs. Leading a pack of dogs is no small feat. The pack dynamic offers excellent practice for social skills while also allowing dogs to tap in to their inner wild pup.

— Kevin G.

We love Wild Pup Adventure! These ladies are amazing! Thoughtful and passionate about what they do. Our dog Kona is so happy to be part of this group. Couldn’t ask for a better service!

— Ashley D. 

Thank you again for taking such great care of our youngster Cocoa, and her old side kick, Jasper, and our semi-wild kitty Spice. We sincerely appreciate all your efforts over 10 days to keep them comfortable, happy, and well exercised. We were so pleased with your promptness, your detail orientation, and your sincere love of animals. We were delighted with your perfect response to the untimely, urgent situation that required your full focused attention wherein you responded promptly, well prepared, and with much tact and diplomacy. An awesome, resourceful outcome to a very challenging, difficult situation. Our animals could not have been in better care, and we are grateful for your ability to manage complexity, and keep us informed. Cocoa’s response when you visited again says it all – she greeted you with a bear hug, her tail wagging in a great big smile of love. Job done splendidly!

— Lori

My dog Mookie LIVES for his weekly Wild Pup Adventure! He is so excited when they arrive to pick him up he screams and races through the house. It is so satisfying to know that while I’ve been at work all day my best friend has been wrestling and playing for house in some beautiful natural setting. I devour the pictures of his adventure and know that he will return home happy and best of all, very tired!

— Ruth M.

Poppy, our active three year old Australian Cattle Dog, went on her first adventure with Toby in October of 2017 and has been going weekly ever since. She loves her time with Toby and the other doggies. Toby really cares for the pups and takes them on wonderful excursions that vary weekly. Poppy is so excited when they come to pick her up and tired when they bring her home.

— Isabel J.

Toby was kind and receptive to our doggies (golden retrievers)! Our dogs loved to run alongside the tricycle all over town! I knew our babies were in good hands. In the evening, the doggies were extra tired and happy! Highest recommendation!

— Brad

While I was away, I sent my dog on four Wild Pup Adventures to keep him occupied and happy. I was blown away by the pictures of the activities that he was engaged in with Toby. Marley had a great vacation and didn’t miss me one bit. When I got home from my trip, he was satisfied and tired from all he’d done. I felt great knowing that my best friend had such great experiences. It took away my guilt in leaving him.

— Tom

“My dog goes crazy with joy when she hears the Wild Pup van pull up…

It’s probably her favorite thing in the world.”

I have been working with Toby for over a month now on Buddy’s aggression issues and let me tell you what a difference it has made! Toby is so focused and driven on helping you and your dog become the best partnership that you can be! She really does put her all into each session that is scheduled, and she goes above and beyond as well.... but I won’t disclose too much information... find out for yourself!

— Kara

I love Toby! More importantly my fur baby does! Cooper literally knows when it’s Wednesday because it’s the only day he’s a morning dog, leaving my bedroom early to eat breakfast and to sit at the edge of the carpet talking and waiting to get picked up!! I know he has a blast and loves his friends. This is the best thing I have ever done for my dog and that makes me so happy for him. The ladies do an amazing job with all the dogs and I trust both of them. I love adventures and love that my baby gets them too! This beats any doggy school any day because the dogs are off leash and get to run and explore. You will not regret this decision!
