Dog Walking Club

A Community Outreach Program of Critter Sitters and More!

The goal of the Peninsula Pups Dog Walking Club is to bring dog lovers together in a community atmosphere for exercise, fresh air and to meet new friends. We believe that the human/dog bond is strengthened through quality time spent with a community of people who have similar interests and beliefs about pet care

Every month, we host walks, hikes and other outings for dog lovers. In our Facebook Group, we discuss important topics with our expert partners that help dog owners make decisions about the care and welfare of their dogs. Club members are offered a supportive and encouraging environment where they can find resources, ask questions and participate in important discussions about pet care. Through events and the support of our community, we are dedicated to raising awareness and essential funds for pet charities

We are committed to providing an inclusive environment for all, regardless of gender, age, gender identity, race, health status, national origin, relationship status, sexual orientation, disability, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and religion

In Person Event Participation Rules

To ensure an enjoyable time for all, here are a few rules to keep everyone safe and happy:
