Services and Rates

South Hound's "Bark and Ride" dog adventure taxi service is your dog's answer to socialization, interaction, exercise, and mental stimulation during the times you might be at your busiest. Your dog is picked up from your home, office, or even hotel between the hours of 9am and 11am and taken with up to 11 of their new best friends to a privately owned play space, tucked away in a beautiful natural setting surrounded by the farmlands of Olympia.


For the next 2 hours, dogs are given the freedom to explore trails and wag tails off leash under the supervision of a trained professional pack leader. Don't forget to pack some of your dog's favorite treats, as during their play we practice important doggy manners such as "sit", "wait/stay," and "come" using only positive reinforcement training techniques. We have access to fresh running water, so when it's time to leave everyone who needs a rinse can get freshened up before returning home. Towel dried and tired out, your dog is dropped back off between the hours of 1pm and 3pm, and can join the fun 5 days a week!


IMPORTANT UPDATE: We are currently booked to capacity and unable to take new clients, but if you'd like to learn about our waitlist/standby list, please feel free to send us an email.

Meet and Greet!

Before any dog joins the pack, we schedule a FREE meet and greet with both you (the owner) and your dog to get to know each other and make sure they'll be happy and comfortable in our group. We welcome dogs of all sizes into the same play group, so in order to make sure nobody gets overwhelmed, we first come to your home or office for our initial evaluation. We'll go over your dog's history and any questions or concerns you may have, and then depending on our waitlist, we may have your dog join us within the week!

Client Testimonials

"Haley is amazing! I've had the privilege of having her take my dog on hikes with a group and having her spend 1 on 1 time with my dog in my home. She really understands dogs, their behaviors, breed traits, and is professional and prompt in her communication. We're very happy to have found them."

"I love South Hound! Haley is AMAZING- she makes a point of sending pictures of their hiking adventures, and my dog always returns happy and tired- there's nothing better than that! The convenience is one of the best parts, they pick up and drop off your dog. She has a love and passion for what they do and that's reflected in the great care each pet receives. I can't say enough about how wonderful South Hound is!"

"South Hound is the best. They comes to your door to get your pooch and return them tired and happy. The service is prompt, courteous, reasonably priced, and most importantly ensures the health and safety of your pet. I recommend this service 100% and trust them completely with my "kids."
