Elevated Dog Care Rooted in Trust, Routine & Heart
Since 2015, Pup Scouts has helped families build stronger bonds with their dogs through structured adventures, luxury grooming, and thoughtful training, all backed by a team that treats every pup like their own.
"Pup Scouts began with a simple idea: dogs and their families deserve better. We wanted more than rushed walks, crowded grooming salons, or cookie-cutter training. So we started small, just a few pack walks in Newport Beach, and quickly saw how much structure, consistency, and care could transform a dog’s life. As our own family grew, so did our team. Today, we’re proud to offer a thoughtful, connected approach to pet care that helps dogs thrive and gives families peace of mind."
MIke and Colleen Bass
Founders of Pup Scouts


Purposeful care, heartfelt connection. Pup Scouts was built to treat your dog like one of our own.

Their grooming service is excellent. They are on time and communicate well. My Golden Retriever isn’t scared to go in the van (she’s been groomed twice). Groomer has a gentle nature with the dogs. She also did a perfect trim on my Golden.

My mini golden doodle Steve gives 2 paws up for Pup Scouts 🐾!! He loves their program and so do I. The scout leaders are professional and come to get Steve and drop him off so I don’t have to worry. The leaders help guide your pooch to learn how to walk with the pack so they get exercise, socialization, and training while on their walks. Since joining the scouts, Steve has pulled less on our walks so I know it is working and he is so happily tired when he gets home. It’s been a real pleasure working with Pup Scouts. Best value out there for your pup.

You want a sleepy guy?? Pupscouts all the way! He loves his pals, Jennifer and Jenevieve. They take such good care of him. Moose can be a jerk but the leadership the gals have and their structure with the dogs is amazing. I certainly couldn’t keep a heap of dogs in line!! They are amazing and so appreciated

Pack walks have been amazing for my new young rescue dog. She's friendly, but also a bit feral and timid. At the recommendation of our trainer, we signed her up with Pup Scouts and the walks have boosted her confidence in meeting new people and dealing with new places & experiences, and especially loud noises (like landscapers or construction noise). She gets to have a ton of fun and be with other dogs (and learn from them too). I like also that they assess the dogs before taking them on, and that it's a structured walk with experienced handlers.
