WHY LEAVE YOUR DOG HOME ALONE ALL DAY?

WHEN THEY CAN
TROT, TRAIN & PLAY!

WHO WE ARE:

Trot & Train is a personalized dog care service built around movement, structure, and overall well-being. We go beyond basic walks by understanding each dog’s energy, behavior, and routine to provide care that supports both physical and mental balance. Our mission is to help pet parents feel relaxed that their dog is getting reliable and consistent exercise and care while they are away and busy with work.

HOW IT WORKS:

  • Start by completing our New Client Form so we can learn about your dog(s), routines, needs, and preferences.

  • At the end of the form, you’ll be able to schedule a Meet & Greet directly through the provided link. This is a brief, in-person visit that allows us to meet you and your dog, review important details together, and get familiar with your home and your pup’s routine. It helps ensure we’re a great fit for one another before services begin.

  • Once your Meet & Greet is confirmed, you’ll receive an invitation to Pet Pocketbook, our booking & communication platform.
    Through the app/portal you’ll be able to:

    • Request walks & services

    • View schedules & visit notes

    • Store pet vet info + instructions

    • Receive photos & updates from walks

    • Manage payments in one place

    Don’t worry — we’ll walk you through how it works during the Meet & Greet!

OUR TEAM

MEHEK P.

CFO & CEO

I’m Mehek, Founder and CFO of Trot & Train.
I manage the operations, systems, and client experience behind the scenes, ensuring care is consistent, organized, and dependable. My role focuses on building structure that supports both dogs and their humans.

LUNA & ASTRA

CO-FOUNDERS

My sister’s dog, Luna (left), and my dog, Astra (right), are the inspiration behind Trot & Train. Becoming responsible for not 1 but 2 Dutch Shepherds at once, challenged me as a pet parent to truly understand canine behavior, energy needs, structure, and consistency… not JUST exercise.

Through learning what dogs need to feel balanced, confident, and fulfilled, Trot & Train was born. To provide care that supports both dogs and the people who love them but can’t always be around to care for them.

    “Trot & Train is definitely amazing. I can always count on Moose and Bison to have an eventful walk with Mehek. This let's me know they are well taken care of and enjoying their day while we are at work.”

  • nova

    “Mehek is an amazing dog walker! She is so patient and understanding. Has trained and taught my dog new tricks. She cares for her as her own. My dog cannot wait to see her every time she comes in the door, she is so excited. She knows she will have a good time with her. She is also punctual and very responsive. Couldn’t ask more for a dog walker.”
