About K9 Trekkers
K9 Trekkers is a dog walking and hiking service in the Victoria, BC area, built around a small team of people who love spending time outdoors with dogs.
Our Mission
K9 Trekkers exists so busy — or simply busy-bodied — dogs get the outings they deserve. We take dogs out for walks and hikes, giving them exercise, fresh air, and time to explore their surroundings with a handler who is paying attention to them.
Our approach is straightforward: the dogs come first, the walking and hiking details follow. We keep in regular contact with the people who leave their dogs in our care, and we handle bookings, changes, and cancellations the same way we handle the leash — directly and reliably.
Every dog that joins a hike with us is treated as part of the K9 Trekkers family, and several of them now work alongside us as members of the team. You can meet them on the Dogs page.
What We Stand For
Three things guide how we walk and hike with every dog we take out.
Dog-first handling
Each dog is matched to a walk or hike that suits their pace, energy, and comfort level, with the focus on a calm, enjoyable outing.
Outdoors, properly
Walking and hiking routes are chosen so dogs spend real time outside, sniffing, stretching their legs, and moving at their own speed.
Clear communication
We answer questions about bookings, service details, and rates, and we give a minimum of 24 hours notice for cancellations of a scheduled hike or walk.

K9 Trekkers is a dog walking and hiking service based in the Victoria, British Columbia area, built around a small team of people who genuinely love spending time outdoors with dogs. Rather than treating excursions as a checklist of routes, the team focuses on each animal as an individual with its own energy level, pace, and curiosity. Handlers pay close attention to how a dog responds to trails, water, weather, and new surroundings, and they adapt the outing accordingly so that every walk feels purposeful and unhurried.
The mission is simple: busy, or simply busy-bodied, dogs deserve the outings they are missing. A typical adventure hike takes place along the beautiful mountains, trails, and lakes found near the region, with time built in for sniffing, exploring, swimming, and simply pausing. Dogs are naturally compelled to travel and explore, so the routes are chosen to give them genuine stimulation rather than a rushed constitutional. The result is a pooch who is exercised, mentally satisfied, and ready to settle at home.
Dogs of many temperaments are welcome, from playful and social companions to quieter, more reserved animals who need a little encouragement. Part of the service is helping dogs learn to be comfortable in varied natural settings, socializing where appropriate and building confidence alongside their handler. Trips may include a potty break, a stretch of off-leash play, or a longer hike with a longer rest, since a good excursion balances activity with calm. Owners can also request boarding and visits, or ask for photos and a report on how the day went.
Safety and professionalism are treated as essential rather than optional. The team operates as an insured and registered dog walking service, and standard precautions are observed on every outing, including the current public health guidance advised by the ministry of health during the pandemic and the related social distancing requirements. Excursions continue to follow these directives closely, and clients are encouraged to raise any questions or concerns at any time. Clear communication between handler and owner keeps expectations aligned before and after every adventure.
Owner feedback is valued, and the service welcomes references and reviews from people who have taken their dogs along. The goal is straightforward: provide a safe, reliable, and enjoyable outdoor experience so that pets return home happy, content, and physically fulfilled. By combining a small, attentive team with a deep affection for dogs and the landscapes of the area, K9 Trekkers has become a trusted choice for anyone in the region looking for a caring, energetic, and genuinely adventurous outing for their best friend.
