Canine Cardio Company of Rhode Island

I have a shepherd/​lab mix who can be fairly strong on a leash. Clayton is one of the few people I trust to walk/​run him! My dog waits by the door on ‘Clayton days’ and gets beyond excited when it’s time for his run. Canine Cardio helps keep him fit and happy, I couldn’t ask for more!

Simply the best. I can’t say enough good things about Clayton and Dan at Canine Cardio Company. I moved to providence from Boston and added a significant amount of hours onto my commute. I am so glad I was able to find Clayton and Dan to come walk my mini schnauzer Ralphie while I was at work. They went above and beyond for Ralphie, and I really noticed a difference in how happy he was on the days they came to walk him. He also would go to off leash playgroup «tails on trails» once a week which he LOVED. Every day I would get a text update about how his walk went, usually accompanied by a picture as well which was so nice to see at work! I would recommend this company to anyone, and there’s no one I would trust more to take care of my dog than these guys! Professional in every sense of the word.

I can’t say enough — my dog loves them and they are wonderful with him! Good value, trustworthy and great service

I looked into and visited many different dog walking and doggie daycare options when I moved to Providence and couldn’t be happier with Canine Cardio Company of Rhode Island.
Clayton is extremely dependable and professional. I can always get in touch with him and he happily works with my changing schedule and all types of weather. He sat down with me before my dog’s first session to learn all about my dog’s history and needs. My rescue mutt’s manners have greatly improved after running with CCC for the past seven months and Clayton has been extremely patient and kind towards my dog from day one. He comes to run him five times a week and I love getting detailed reports of everything that happened via text and adorable pictures. I come home from work and my dog is happily exhausted.
I can’t say enough good things about CCC and Clayton. This company has really made my work and graduate studies possible this year. I never have to worry about my dog as I know he is in fantastic hands. This is by far the best dog walking company in Rhode Island!

Until Canine Cardio it was always hard to give our energetic border collie mix dog enough exercise. Canine Cardio comes over and runs Riley and they have become more than just dog runners, we consider them friends. Always professional, prompt and conscientious, you can count on them to exercise your pup!

clayton has been running our siberian husky for almost 2 years now, rain or snow does not hold them back. our dog loves him and we are lucky to have someone who actually RUNS our big pup. highly recommended

How does Clay run our dogs ALL DAY, one after the other? Anyway, he does. And we humans and our dogs are lucky for it.
Thank you, Clay!

Clayton is just great! He is dependable, flexible and accommodating but most importantly he deeply cares about the well-​being of your dog. I had recently adopted Pepper (1.5 year old Shepard/​Collie mix) when I found CCC. In addition to making my life easier, Clayton helped both of us transition and since has become a great friend to Pepper. It’s so comforting to know I have some one else looking out for her! I highly recommend CCC to anyone who is not only looking for great care and activity but special attention and focus on your dog!

My husband and I have an extremely hyper German Shepard who likes to destroy our house during the day. We have done everything for our dog-​training, walking, playing… nothing seemed to help! Until we found Clayton and Canine Cardio. His business concept is a unique one, which immediately drew us in once we found him online-​he isn’t your run-​of-​the-​mill dog walker-​Clayton takes our dog for runs. His packages are affordable (which we needed as a family of three, with one on the way) and since we have started the running sessions, our dog has not chewed through ANYTHING in our house. It’s a perfect fit for us! I would highly recommend giving Canine Cardio a try!

I moved from Boston to Providence for a simpler life. You know, a single family house with a yard, the ocean, 15 minute commute anywhere, cost of living. And we somehow ended up with another dog, I with a job back in Boston, a 13 hour work day, and a somewhat more complicated lifestyle… not quite sure how that happened.
My main source of stress had been what to do with the two pups while I’m away during daylight hours and the Mr. travels… Doggie daycare either doesn’t open early enough, or closes before I get home. Boo. I couldn’t really ask a neighbor because our big dog is over protective and prone to dog fighting and no one wants to deal with that mess. And a mid day dog walk just didn’t seem like enough energy burn. When I come home I want to gym/​eat/​sleep — not tire out the dogs. Enter… ta-​da-​ta-​dum: A marathon dog runner. Novel idea and just what the doctor ordered.
Clayton is a god-​sent. We had an instant connection on the phone. He’s passionate about running and has two babies (doggie babies) of his own. At our first meet and greet, he showed up in his branded T-​shirt (props for self marketing!), met the dogs, shared pleasantries and then took them one by one for an initial 20 minute run. He has this cool map tracking device so you can see the route they accomplished that day and how fast his miles can be with each dog.
We bought a package and I’ve never felt so stress free. He comes on the later side of the day, so by the time I come home both dogs are pooped (literally and figuratively); gives a text check in and out (my preferred method of communication) but I’m sure he’d email or call or FaceBook you too. Clayton is super thoughtful too, like he brings in packages left on the front steps, or cleans up the puke Mr. Poppy left after eating things from the recycling bin. It’s all more then we could ask for! Thanks Clayton!
