Dog Walking Hilliers

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages and energy levels. I have experience with puppies and basic training, as well as supporting senior dogs with more complex care such as feeding routines, supplements and medication schedules. Dogs have always been part of my life, and today our own dog is a cherished member of our family and my son’s best friend. I understand how much your dog means to you, and I treat every pup in my care as if they were my own. I’m active and love spending time outdoors, so daily walks are something I genuinely enjoy, rain or shine. I offer walks ranging from 15 to 60 minutes and tailor each outing to suit your dog’s breed, age, and energy level, ensuring they get the exercise and attention they need. I provide dependable drop-in visits for potty breaks, feeding, and playtime, perfect for busy workdays or when you’re away. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Services are available both weekdays and weekends. I take your dog's safety, comfort, and well being very seriously. During walks and visits, I closely monitor their behaviour, energy levels, and surroundings to ensure they are safe, happy, and stress-free. For your peace of mind, I’m happy to send photos and text updates during our time together. I also welcome a meet-and-greet beforehand so you and your dog can feel completely comfortable and confident in my care.

About: My love for animals has equipped me with years of experience from puppies to senior dogs and cats. I have cared for pets with anxiety, allergies, behavioural issues, etc and am confident with all sizes and breeds of dog. I have some familiarity with cats and other small animals as family and friends beloved pets. I work full-time but I am still available to give your pets the love and attention they deserve, give me a shout and we can figure out a schedule that works best for everyone. I treat every animal I meet like it's my own beloved pet. I give animals space and time to feel comfortable around me before I interact with them. Im confident with on and off leash walks and hikes. I am knowledgeable in basic dog first aid but am not certified yet. My pet care is to be provided in your homes with your equipment and care instructions.

About: I am a dog lover! I’ll care for your dog like my own. Over the years I have been trusted to care for the pets of many family and friends. I am currently self-employed part-time in my own home, so my days are open and flexible to enjoy caring for, walking and playing with dogs. I live on a partially fenced property in a rural area with plenty of space to roam and close to an abundance of amazing trails. I can crate your fur baby if preferred but dogs are welcome in all areas of my home.

“Cujo loves evening walks with Natalie. He comes back ready for a good sleep everytime. I appreciate that Natalie listened to Cujo when he wanted to go back from the walk a bit early as it's still a bit hot out for a super long walk.”

“Cristina was absolutely incredible. She was reliable, she communicated and planned in advance with me prior to the visit. Post visit she touched base letting me know how it went and sent pictures. I have a reactive dog on the leash and was nervous on how she would be. She was fantastic with both of my dogs. I would 400 percent recommend Cristina to anyone and will definitely be booking again.”

“Danielle is super friendly and obviously loves dogs. My dogs had a great time on their walk and we look forward to lots more walks in the future!”

About: Hi love pets, and all kinds not just dogs, I have no problem checking in on any other pets in your house, (fish, lizards, mice, rats, etc!) I’ve always had animals in my life. My main goal is to make sure your pets are happy and healthy. Making sure your pets have what they need and are safe is the top priority for me and I’ll do what I can to achieve that. I am currently working a full-time job 8hrs a day, Friday-Tuesday. This means potty breaks every 8+ hours. While I'm off I have full availability for all adventures needed to keep your pets satisfied! Coming into someone else's home my priorities are to make sure I'm following any house rules, and keeping to the schedule for your pets to stay happy and comfortable while your away.

About: I have been caring for pets of family and friends since I was a child and always put in the extra time for exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. I have successfully helped puppies complete puppy training and offer caring support to elderly animals and those with special medical needs. I do contract work and have a lot of time off so can be with your pets for extended amounts of time. I live in the forest close to a provincial park I visit regularly and can provide long nature walks for your dogs. While I currently don't have any of my own pets at this time, I will enthusiastically cherish the time I get to spend with yours!

About: Mature and reliable pet care at your home or my home. Large fenced yard - daily walks and lots of cuddles. Have cared for various dogs and other pets for over 30 years. I’m currently working from home so am available to care for and walk your pet and can either care for them in your home or in my home. I have two friendly dogs who are used to sharing. I have a fenced yard and large house to care for your fur baby. If you require dog walking or care in your own home I can accommodate your preferences.

About: I've cared for a few dogs over the last several years. Neighbours, family and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, house and love their dogs. I'm currently working part-time, so I have plenty of time to play with your pups. I am free almost every afternoon and evening. Weekends after 1pm and Tuesday to Thursday I'm available all day. I am happy to come to your home to care for your pup, or take her for her walks. My yard is fenced, but my cats are territorial so I couldn't invite your pups over.

“Rhaya was great with my 2 doodles. She took them for a full hour walk around our area, on short notice, and they returned tired and happy. Very pleasant and punctual.”

About: I have owned one dog and a few cats over the years. Currently, i have no pets as we had to put our dogs of 18 years down last year. I am comfortable with all breeds and sizes of dogs. I am available most days and am comfortable walking your dog in any weather condition. I am a reliable person who always follows through with her commitments and goes above and beyond. I also have a lot of experience with cats as I had them all of my life growing up. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, dietary restrictions, etc. I look forward to working with your fur baby. I work from home so I am able to let dogs outside in our fenced dog run whenever needed if boarding with me. I can also come to your house to pick up for walks I have two fenced in dog runs on the property and a big side yard (unfenced). I am able to take your dog to a number of trails and parks. We also have a large unfinished basement where my office is located so I spend most of my time there during the day

About: I have been a pet parent since I was a wee lass, owned mostly dogs and cats but I've also had rabbits, birds, fish and lizards.

I work from home with a flexible schedule so I can be available daytime and evenings as needed. I am also available for overnight stays. I offer drop in care service or a full overnight house sit as needed. I will treat your pet like my own with lots of love!

“Nicole has been amazing! It was my first time using a dog walker for my boy and she did wonderfully. Lots of messages to coordinate and enjoyed our interactions. By the last visit my dog was waiting at the door for her vehicle to roll up ❤️”

I Also currently volunteer at Alberni SPCA. I lost my 12 year old Golden last year 😥, and cannot emotionally commit to own another dog, so the next best thing for me is to dog sit your fur kids and volunteer my time at the shelter. I devote my volunteer time to snuggling cats and dogs, as well as providing wellness to dogs through walks, positive reinforcement training and cleaning their kennels. I have also taken care of chickens!! I work remotely and have a reliable vehicle so provided you have good wifi for my remote work, my schedule can be tailored to your needs!

(Well i may not snuggle your chickens)🐔 My service provides daycare or overnight stays at your residence. This provides a stress free way for you to leave your fur kids, knowing they have the comforts of home.

About: Grew up on a farm with a dog- and been obsessed ever since! I am a Boston terrier lover at heart, but always wanted someone to have nearby that if I needed care that they too would love my dog like I did- as family. I’m super flexible for schedules and travel. I have my own vehicle, so I don’t mind picking up or dropping off. I can be available for vet appointments, ferry transport, and airport transport or just a good ol’ fashion cuddle and ball toss. I’m comfortable giving medication to the dogs if needed as I have cared for elderly pets too. I want them to feel safe and at ease, and reduce any stress- I want to offer them same love and care that I did with Brutus, and always wanted to have someone available to love my dog with the same love and care. But happy to learn about any specifics you have about your pets needs and quirks. ♥️

About: I have been passionate about dogs ever since I was a kid. I have been around dogs from the day I was born and trained my first working dog for the sportsman show when I was 10 years old.

I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, dogs have a safe and secure environment with plenty of space to roam and relax. They’re welcome to join my two friendly dogs for playtime or enjoy quiet time if they prefer their own space.

About: I grew up on a farm with multiple house pets & got my first dog at 15. I hike with my dogs every weekend with long walks during the week. I got into pet sitting after I dog sat for friends and family for years. I have experienced with multiple different behavioural and medical needs (pets in diapers, needles for diabetes, heart medications, reactive large breeds, etc) & a wide range of experience caring for different types of animals including cats, dogs, ferrets, sugar gliders, farm animals, etc. Growing up on a farm, I have experience caring for larger animals as well. I treat each animal like my own and can cater to the needs of each individual pet. I work as a homeless outreach worker for CMHA. My husband is a car salesman at Van isle FORD. I like to let my pets out at least every 2 hours, but we also spend lots of time outside. I spend most my time outside of work with my dogs, going on hikes, walks, swims or participating in one of my favourite sports. I have a large 2 story home so there’s lots of room for animals if they are inside. If they aren’t, that’s okay too. I live on 3/4 of an acre and have a fully fenced yard with two separate spaces if there’s multiple pets. I have 2 amazing dogs at home - one who loves to have some company, and although the other one rules the house, she steers clear of other pets. My cat is basically a dog, he’s the best.
