Your Dog Deserves a Real Adventure
More than a walk — Alpine Tails Co takes your dog on fully off-leash pack hikes through the trails of Central Oregon. Every hike ends the same way — with a new best friend found and one very happy, tired dog.
When a Walk Around the Block Isn't Enough
Dogs are built to run, sniff, explore, and socialize. Our off-leash pack hikes run 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on weather and trail conditions — because a good hike ends when the dogs are satisfied, not when a timer goes off. Fresh air, varied terrain, genuine exercise, and a social circle they'll look forward to every week.
Zoomies, sniff breaks, splashing through puddles, chasing squirrels (don't worry, they never catch them) — 90 minutes of this and they'll nap like champions.
Pack hikes create real bonds. Tucker and Olive, Bella and June (just to name a few) — some of our dogs have become total besties on the trail. Your pup could be next.
Fresh air, new scents, varied terrain — the kind of stimulation that makes for a calm, happy dog at home.
Every dog goes through a meet & greet first. We screen for temperament and compatibility so every hike is safe and fun for all.

Why 90 minutes to 2 hours? Because we read the dogs, not the clock. On a crisp morning when the pack is fired up, we go the full two hours. On a hot day or a tough trail, we wrap up when everyone's happy and ready for home. Either way, your dog gets exactly what they need.

Hi, I'm Stefanie
I'm a Bend native who spent the majority of my life in Central Oregon, where I developed a deep love for adventure and the outdoors. After five years in Portland working in HR, I came home to start a business I truly love — one built on over 10 years of experience working with animals.
In 2021, Alpine Tails Co was born. Every day, I get to do exactly what I set out to do: explore Central Oregon's trails and give each dog an Alpine Tails journey they'll be sure to rate 5 barks.
What Dog Parents Are Saying
Don't take our word for it.
"Thanks for taking great care of my sweet Madison. You are so consistent, reliable, and the dogs love you. As a fully blind dog, she has become happier, more fit and athletic — she now jumps into my truck on her own. She has amazing confidence now, running on trails using her nose and paws to find her way. That's pretty amazing given she can't see even a shadow."
"Everyone — most importantly Finn and Elsa — loved you. We have worked with many dog services across the US and you are one of the best. Thank you."
"Stefanie is kind, consistent, trustworthy and AWESOME. My dog Luna races out the door when Stefanie arrives and comes home ready for a nap. Stefanie is such a great support. I am so grateful."
