"Healthy Hounds Hiking has become such a fundamental part of my dog's life. The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and kind, and offer so many great services. Not only dog my dog, Lily, get a great amount of exercise but she is also reciving training, learning social skills, and having so much fun! If I could give the ladies 1000 stars I would. I couldn't recommend Healthy Hounds Hiking more."

"Definitely recommend Health Hounds Hiking! My doggo Sherman is always excited when Kacie picks him up with his dog pals. Kacie is great! She is always keeping me updated and letting me know how Sherman is doing; she also sends me pics of the hikes, which I LOVE!
This group has definitely helped him as he wasn't so great walking on leash before--he would cry and bark at other dogs on our walks. Now, I've noticed a difference and will continue to have him on pack hikes as he's learning social skills with other dogs! It's also a plus that he comes home tired & happy from a hike with his friends!
Thank you so much Alwyn and Kacie! :)."

"Alwyn and the team are incredible. Dulce was very anxious in the beginning and did not trust humans. The hikes and doggy care services have tremendously helped boost her confidence. She is a different dog and still learning. I'm very impressed by her growth in such a short time and it's thanks to Healthy Hounds Hiking. The team is also very friendly and flexible. I highly recommend them."

"We love Alwyn and the care she gives to our dog, Ronda. But more importantly, Ronda loves her time hiking with her puppy pals! When Alwyn pulls up into the driveway to pick her up, Ronda is jumping for joy.
While we give Ronda lots of love at home, we don't get the chance to socialize her with other dogs. I'm so happy that she has this opportunity to be around other dogs!"

"We and our puppy love Alwyn!! What makes her service so wonderful is that she's socializing and exercising the dogs at the same time. Starting at 8 months, our puppy got a regular dose of other dogs and much-needed hikes. Pup always comes home happy and exhausted! Plus Alwyn is incredibly kind, loves the dogs, and is a total pro all around."

"Alwyn has helped me so much. Due to a difficult work schedule, I was unable to walk my dogs and give them the exercise they needed. I found Alwyn's profile on rovers.com and saw she was available 24/7 in the la crescenta area. When she walks my dogs, she keeps me updated with pictures and texts on how the dogs are doing which really makes me happy. I have 2 dogs (greyhound and a chihuaha mix) and both are shy and needed extra attention. They are obsessed with Alwyn now. She LOVES animals and is passionate about what she does. She is extremely trustworthy and secures my house after walking the dogs. A++ for a hardworking trust worthy person."

"Alwyn was absolutely fantastic with our dog! You can tell she's done dog training and worked with lots of animals. I've never felt so comfortable leaving him for a week, and she constantly sends pictures of what they're doing! I can't sing her praises enough. Highly recommend!"

"Alwyn is a fantastic dog walker. I have worked with several and she is the best! My dog loves her! She mixes up the walks for my dog and takes into account weather, when too hot she finds cooler spots and when raining she also has alternatives. Neighbors have commented on how gentle and loving she is when they see her walking my dog. Who could ask for more for the pets we so love, I highly recommend her!"

Our puppy goes absolutely crazy when one of the wonderful dog hikers comes to pick her up. She is so happy to see them and get in to the car. We get professional style photos of our dog while on the hike as well as a cute and informative comments. She even gets some training which is a great perk. Our dog returns happy and tired. Healthy Hounds Hiking has been an absolute blessing for us. We are able to go to work guilt free knowing that our pooch is getting exercise, socializing and having a ball.

"Alwyn is fantastic at what she does! Finding her to excercize and care for my pup was a true blessing. She's accommodating with scheduling, extremely knowledgeable about dogs and flexible with even my silliest dog mom requests! My little girl looks forward to spending time with her again and what a relief that is for me. Thanks Alwyn for offering top-notch doggy daycare services and for taking such good care of my Mabel."

"Healthy Hounds Hiking has been the answer to our prayers - Alywn is our fairy dogmother! She has a great energy with dogs - and people too!
Her pack hikes are a perfect alternative to traditional doggy daycare. She picks up the dogs in the morning and after 90 mins of hiking - they sleep the rest of the day! Plus the added socialization and chance to be on an adventure outdoors - just perfect. We recommend Alywn to our friends with dogs and trust her to care for our dog without worry. She is friendly, timely, and well priced for her services."

"Alwyn is a gem here in the La Crescenta area! Due to hectic work schedules as first responders, my husband and i are always on the go, and we can ALWAYS count on Alwyn to be there when we need her. She is extremely reliable, and responsive when contacted. Our calls/texts (and we have many of them) are always answered promptly within minutes. We receive updated pictures and text messages (which we love) from her throughout the duration of their day.
In addition to her pleasant attitude and contagious smile, Alwyn is well versed and knowledgeable about animals and their wellbeing. She goes to great lengths to ensure the safety of our dogs while in her care, which leaves us care free and confident, enabling us to focus on our day's work, knowing that my dogs are receiving optimal service.
Our Dogo Argentino was a very sensitive and timid puppy when we first started utilizing Alwyn for her services. In just weeks, his personality blossomed. He is much more playful and confident. His social skills have increased dramatically. I later found out that Alwyn took the time to research about my dog's breed and accommodate his special needs accordingly. We are not surprised, that she goes above and beyond to ensure their welfare.
Alwyn's service is unparalleled! She has become a staple in our lives, and we are grateful to have crossed paths with her. Her passion and genuine love for animals, resonates off of her and is evident in the response validated by my dogs the second we turn the corner, driving toward her house. My dogs LOVE her! They nearly jump out of their skin with excitement when they see her! Watching the response my dogs demonstrate towards her, ensures us that Alwyn is undoubtedly the kind, passionate, honest person we recognize her to be."

I cannot tell you what a wonderful experience it has been for our 1 year old Mini Australian Shepherd to have met Alwyn and Triple H. I would have given Triple H 10 stars if this was possible! We have used Triple H for daily and overnight stays and have always felt secure that our companion, Seymour, was safe and sound. The best thing about all if this it is our MAS comes home exhausted and happy. If any of you out there have kids, you know what I talking about after a long day of soccer and baseball practice. I have listed three things that make Triple H even more worthy of your time, 1) Alwyn is responsible. She cares and treats for all the dogs as if they were hers. 2) All the dogs in the group don't have any bad behavior problems. Our MAS comes home the same way we left him - well mannered. 3) She enthusiastically exercises the dogs while giving a tour of the beautiful surroundings we are all blessed to share. It is a wonderful feeling to know that your dog sees more open sky in a day than you probable do. Thank you Triple H!

Healthy hounds hiking is a great hiking-dog walking service for our golden retriever, Russell. He gets wonderful practice and training with pack hikes and he looks forward to this every week. The team at healthy hounds is easy to communicate with and flexible with your dogs needs. Their teammate, Summer is always prompt and provides lovely updates and photos from the hikes.

What would we do without Healthy Hounds!! Both of my dogs jump for joy when they see the Healthy Hound car pull up. They have the best time on their pack hikes where they get to hang out with their doggie friends. They come back absolutely exhausted every time. An exhausted dog is a happy dog! Alwyn takes such good care of the dogs and their individual needs. She even made a special house visit to see us when one of our pups was very sick. She goes above and beyond and we are so lucky to have her! She's even accommodated our schedule when unforeseen events occur and we need an extra walk!
I could not think of anyone I would trust more with my Fur babies.

Alwyn is amazing! I have two dogs, one with too much energy and one that is super shy. She handles them both with the greatest care and my dogs really love going on walks with her. She also always sends pictures of them on the hike and they're always smiling and happy. My shy puppy has really come out of her shell from this experience.

Alwyn is so warm and welcoming. My dog (goldendoodle) absolutely loved her from the very first minute! Her back yard is a dog paradise and it feels like a vacation for my dog to go there (so she gets a vacation while we get one!) Recommend completely!
