Join Our Dog PackAt Soulmutts we provide flexible services for you and your dog. We are a close knit pack and strive to maintain our pack balance by slowly introducing new dogs and keeping them on a consistent schedule. We are a high energy off leash group environment. On our outings and at our Decked Out Dog Daycare/Boarding House we practice free run socialization. We let the dogs be dogs!
What makes us so different
Our Private Space
15 years ago we started out like everyone else – bringing our dogs to the public dog parks. Over time we noticed a few things that weren’t working for us and our dogs while we were there. We were spending a lot of (or most of) our time handling and correcting other people’s dogs instead of our own. We had to be very careful if we played with toys because we didn’t know how strange dogs we didn’t know were going to handle it – many are very toy possessive. We would have to do ground sweeps of parks to ensure our dog pack wasn’t getting into garbage, old food containers, broken glass, old needles, etc. It became so that every day was totally different; the unexpected would happen all the time. It’s to be expected when you’re bringing a bunch of dogs into a place where they won’t know any of the other dogs that are there (or any of the people for that matter).
That’s when we decided to find a private space that our dogs could call their own… and we haven’t looked back since. The space has changed over the years but now we have found the perfect design that works for ALL dogs; young, old, large, small, high energy, low energy, dogs with ball possession, dogs with special needs, etc. We can re-work our space any way we need it. Our dogs can have a great big space to run, play, fetch and rest.
We can also break the space into multiple separate large areas to ensure the bigger dogs can run fast and free, while the smaller dogs can bounce around together in another area, while the old dogs can mosey around, while the puppies who don’t quite know what to do in the pack yet can figure it all out with just a few dogs at a time.
Largest and Safest Dog Transportation in the City
We do not use our personal vehicles to transport our dog pack, nor do we outfit passenger vehicles with flimsy baby gates and area rugs. Our customized commercial fleet shuttles are Mercedes Benz Sprinters, which have the largest cargo space available on the market. In conjunction with Mercedes Benz and HVAC Industry Professionals, we have completely customized the interiors of our dog shuttles to provide your dog with the ultimate in comfort and transportation safety.
The rear cargo areas of the shuttles have been transformed and are reinforced to make them crash resistant, as well as being fully insulated. The comfort seal material that lines the interior is safe on the paws. This makes it possible for us to spray wash and disinfect them completely after outings, creating a much more sanitary environment than seats, cushions, carpets, mats, blankets, etc. that hold urine, feces, bacteria & odor. Inside the walls they are fully insulated with spray foam, which adds to the structural integrity of the riding compartments as well.
Our dog shuttles are completely temperature controlled on a professional level. They are equipped with full HVAC systems, which provide proper air circulation, heat and A/C. Standard built in systems just are simply not made to properly heat and cool a vehicle from front to back evenly, especially with a pack of dogs inside!
Finally, every shuttle is outfitted with a custom security system which includes: Remote Starter & Engine Immobilizer, Full Mobile Engine & Temperature Control and Drone GPS Tracking & Mobile Control.
Same Pack Leaders, Same Pack Mates, Every Time
We are trained pack leaders offering trustworthy and personal dog care services. Our dog pack is our family. As each new member joins us, they become an integral part of the pack, the family and our lives. It is very important for us to create and nurture these bonds because, after all, this is why we do what we do.
Bringing a new dog walker or dog sitter into your life is not just about finding someone to drag your dog around the block or up and down a million elevators. It’s about finding someone who can create a solid routine that involves group socialization, skill building & good behaviour reinforcement. We are about getting your dog out to really stretch their legs and run as a part of a real dog pack. As the saying goes; a tired dog is a happy dog!
We are not part time dog walkers, we do not have other jobs that we juggle. We love dogs and we want to work with dogs and we are a full time team. The person who walks your dogs will be consistent. When pack leaders take vacation time the owners step in to run their walking routes. Our daycare staff are on consistent schedules and know the space and the dogs as well as their own.
