Dog Walking Squamish

About: I am a former service puppy raiser of over four years. During this time, I provided puppies with socialization opportunities, enrichment, potty training, crate training, and basic obedience training. I have also worked as a zookeeper and veterinary assistant, providing care to all kinds of wonderful animals! I currently have two cats but miss the companionship of dogs, so I’m looking forward to seeing your furry friends over some walks. I have recently relocated from Vancouver to Squamish for a lifestyle that suits my needs much better. I have transitioned to remote work, which has made my world a lot smaller. I am therefore looking for dog companionship to get outside, explore the surrounding area, and meet new folks in the community. As an experienced dog owner and avid walker, I am especially looking forward to building community with other pet parents and walking your best friend throughout the beautiful trails. I have always loved caring for animals in my personal life and various professional roles. When it comes to dogs, you can often find us outside exploring new environments together. When I was training service puppies, I thoroughly enjoyed having them by my side at all hours of the day and currently have a dog-shaped gap in my life. For cats, I understand that trust often needs to be built and respecting boundaries is an important part of that journey. I have two rescue cats at home that have come a long way, and would love to build relationships with your trusted friend.

“Desiree does a fantastic job with my pups! She made sure they were comfortable with her and that she knew as much as possible before taking them out. She has excellent communication and is knowledgeable with dogs. I would definitely recommend her!”

About: Hi, I’m Kate! I grew up on a hobby farm back in Australia, surrounded by animals, so caring for them comes naturally to me. Since moving to Canada, I’ve been missing having a dog of my own, and that’s why I’d love to help out with yours! Whether your pup is small, medium, or large, young or senior, I’m here to make their day special. From fun-filled adventures on walks, potty breaks, training sessions, or simply cozy cuddles, your furry loved one is in good hands. Let’s give your dog a tail-wagging good time! I’m available Tuesday to Sunday from 7AM to 9PM to take your fur babies on walks, give them potty breaks, or just hang out with some much-needed pupper cuddles. Since moving to Squamish, I’ve really missed my walks with puppers, and I can’t wait to help out with yours! Let’s get your dog out for some fresh air and fun. Offering visits to clients homes, day time walks and potty breaks in Squamish (can be in the wilderness) I have many years experience with all types of dog breads. I have a current Dog First Aid training certificate and planning on applying for dog obedience courses in the near future.

About: Grew up on a farm in the UK surrounded by pets! Missing them all very much. Expect an active, patient and caring pet carer here. I’m working for BC wildfire this summer, but will have long weekends where my partner and I I would love to look after your pet. Here to provide whatever care you need, my partner and I have a great understanding of petcare needs and can remain very adaptable to individual circumstances!

About: Dogs have been a constant love of my life but a career built around travel meant I couldn't have one of my own. So I found the next best thing: caring for other people's dogs when they can’t. That's taken me from simultaneously managing eight dogs for a couple in Hungary, to looking after a hostel's resident dog during a year living in Sri Lanka — and many happy dogs in between. Back home in Squamish, I've sat for dogs ranging from 3-month-old puppies to an 18-year-old tripod senior, and I currently do enriched walks and sitting with a local pet care company. Whether it's a bouncy pup or a gentle old soul, I bring the same patience and genuine enthusiasm. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand that they need extra patience, awareness, and a calm handler. Your dog won't just be looked after, they'll be loved. Working from home on a flexible schedule makes me able to take breaks at any time. I can go for walks or breaks throughout the day. While getting to know eachother, I prefer to keep the dog on leash or in a fenced area. I follow the owners guidelines for what works for their dog an what is within their comfort zone.

About: Hello, my name is Hope. I currently live in downtown Squamish and I would love to help you out with your dog or cat. I love making genuine connections with people in the community and look forward to more! I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule to fit in a good long walk, a run or play time with your doggo. if there is anything you need me to be aware of I can try my best to accommodate. My place is ready to welcome your dog.

About: Hi, I’m Jared I am available for one or two week sits over the winter in the sea to sky region including Vancouver. At the bottom of the pictures are snapshots of over 40 5 star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ reviews from a past profile. I’m highly experienced and love love love animals ❤️ 🐶 I would love ❤️ to meet you & your pet. Don’t be thrown off by the Whistler reviews I have posted. I am available throughout the sea to sky region. I live in Squamish. ✅ Do you want to go out for a day or evening in Whistler, worry free? ✅ Want to know your loved one is being loved, adored, and exercised? ✅ Don’t want to rush home or back to your hotel? I would happily be your dog’s companion and care giver for the time you need. 👨‍🎓I am an environmental scientist working predominantly from home and have years of experience looking after dogs. I have done this all over the sea to sky region and over 5 countries. 🌎 Pet sitting has also taken be abroad, pet sitting in Norway, Portugal, and France. When I dog sit we go for long walks or runs or whatever form of exercise is requested & give LOTS of love & cuddles. I do not have a pet of my own as I tend to travel as much as possible, so instead I love other people’s dogs instead! ❤️ If you are looking for a clean and tidy, caring and responsible individual to care and love your buddy, please be in touch. 🐶 PLEASE NOTE: *Day sits that go past 8 hours are charged at $10 per additional hour *Additionally, and I really hate to say it but it has happened several times already where a dog comes in and immediately pees on furniture either out of nervousness or to mark their territory, I get it. If I were a dog in a new environment I might also feel the need. That being said (sigh) if your darling is past puppy age and does this there will be an additional $150 fee for carpet cleaning. This is the direct cost to me and their minimum service fee. I hope you understand. If so, please write “WE LOVE DOGS” when you inquire about a booking. I look forward to meeting your loved one. I work from home with a lot of flexibility and would love to look after your sweetheart. Lots of potty breaks and at least 1 hour of exercise/breaks per day based on your dog’s needs. I live in a house and Squamish is full of great trails and some off leash parks. I have lots of time to dedicate to the love and care of your pets. I send regular updates with photos via this app or text. Requested information about your pet I love all dogs and feel comfortable with them all, I am comfortable administering medications as needed. How is your dog with other dogs, people, and children? Is your dog neutered or spayed? What is the age? Is the dog crate trained, will he/she be using the crate? Is your dog house trained – as in doesn’t go to the bathroom in the house, does not destroy household items? WHAT TO BRING: These are suggested optional items you may want to pack so your dog has all he/she needs. ❤️ Dog bed ❤️ Treats ❤️ Towel for those wet days ❤️ Ball or other toys ❤️ Food or medicine if needed ❤️ Leash of course 😊 ❤️ Poop bags. I usually have extra if you don’t have any

“Jordan and RIley were great to communicate with and responsive to our dog’s specific needs. They also kept us updated with great pictures of VInny and Luisa! I would recommend them, and I will book with them in the future.”

About: I have a wide range of animal experience from the last few years! I have looked after neighbourhood dogs since I was a teenager and owned 3 dogs with my family! Looking after my family dogs was a large responsibility for myself, along with helping with the puppy training! I also have spent over 10 years spending time and working at horse stables where there would be dogs, cats, rabbits, and horses of course! I aim for pets to be as happy as possible while they’re with me. Whether that means multiple walks a day, or cozying up together and watching a movie. I’m happy to make them happy. I’m currently taking a year off after I finished my undergrad to travel and snowboard, so I have lots of free time when I’m home! I am more than happy to shift my schedule around the pets I’m looking after. No matter where I am staying, my focus is on your pet! While I don’t have a fenced yard, I’m happy to make as many leashed bathroom breaks and outdoor plays as necessary, on top of any walks we take!

“Thank you so much! We truly appreciated everything. You were punctual, quick to respond, and the photos you sent were amazing. Most importantly, our dog Clermont had such a wonderful time with you! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thanks again!”

About: Hi! I'm 30 years old, I'm located in Squamish. I've been dog-sitting various sizes of dogs from my neighbor for the past 5 years. I have experience volunteering at the SPCA for over 4 years. I'm a really active person, and I'm comfortable taking multiple dogs on long walks. I have experience walking up to five medium-large dogs at the same time. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me. I will be happy to answer any questions. Thanks for reading! Monika I'm currently self-employed, and my schedule varies day by day. I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can normally make time in my day to take care of your pets. The animal will be on a leash at all times unless the yard is fully fenced in. Will follow any direction given by the owner.

“Thank you!”

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats my whole life, growing up with a Border Collie and a German Shepherd/Lab mix rescue. Marie, my partner, and I have lived with cats and often dog-sit for friends. We love spending time with animals and will treat your pet like family! I’m working half the time from home so may be available during daytime for some days. I enjoy mountain biking and skiing on weekends, but I adapt my schedule depending if I’m pet sitting or not. If your dog is mountain biking training, I don’t mind taking it out on the trails! I live close to quiet streets, a dog park and the estuary so I have a lot of options for the walks with your pet. I live in a 600sqft condo on the 4th floor, but it is next to quiet streets and trailheads for easy walks. I don’t have any kids and live with my partner that is also a pet lover, who has had a cat in the past. We have dog sit anxious dogs so we are used to care for them. When we dog sit our friends pets, we often send pictures and updates about their furry friends to update them on how it’s going.

“Sarah is great with our dog and made sure she did not get too hot in the heat. She was very good at communicating, even when unexpected things crop up!”

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and cats in my house since the day I was born. I started dog walking at the age of eleven and have been helping out with friends, family and neighbours pets ever since. In 2018 I officially opened my company offering off leash pack walks as well as drop ins for cats and seniors! Since closing my dog walking company in January of 2025 I’ve been focusing on private walks and drop ins. This has freed up a lot of time so I am now able to offer walks during the mornings and early afternoons as well. I make sure all dogs are leashed prior to taking them out to assure their safety and I build trust through patience and yummy snacks!

About: Hi, I’m Ingrid! I’m a passionate petsitter with over 10 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making sure they feel safe, happy and loved. Whether it’s helping an anxious pup feel comfortable or making sure a dog with special dietary needs gets the right care, I always go the extra mile to make them feel at home. ⠀ Over the years, my travels have given me the opportunity to care for pets and homes across Canada, the US, and Australia. I’ve built wonderful relationships with pet owners who appreciate my reliability, care, and genuine love for animals. ⠀ I’m now based in beautiful Squamish, where I live in a pet-friendly home with plenty of space for playtime, cuddles and relaxation. There’s also a peaceful park and a forest nearby, perfect for dog adventures. ⠀ My goal is to make your pets feel comfortable, cared for, and right at home while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry companions and give them all the love and attention they deserve! I'm quite active and enjoy regular walks throughout the day, which is even more enjoyable with a dog by my side! As a professional dog walker, I often take groups of up to six dogs on adventures in the mountains and forests. If there’s space available, your pup can join in on the fun! I also offer individual walks for dogs who prefer a quieter experience, so rest assured, I can accommodate their needs. I provide personalized pet care in both my home and my clients' homes, ensuring a safe and loving environment for every pet. In my home, I have a pet-friendly townhouse with ample space for play and relaxation, along with access to nearby parks and trails where we can explore together. When caring for pets, I prioritize their individual needs, whether that means adhering to specific dietary requirements, providing extra attention for anxious pets, or maintaining their usual routines. I also ensure that each pet feels secure and loved, whether they’re enjoying group walks on the trails or receiving one-on-one attention at home. Communication is key, so I keep pet owners updated with photos and messages to reassure them that their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is to create a positive and nurturing experience for both pets and their owners.

About: I had a successful positive reinforcement dog training business in Vancouver for several years and now I live in Squamish. I held a CPDT-KA certification which I opted not to renew last year because I no longer teach classes. My dog, Toby, lived a long life as my fur son and he passed in 2024 at the ripe old age of 15. I now have 2 cats to keep me company. I love a long decompression walk with a canine companion. I am also certified in Pet First Aid. I work part time as an EA during the school year and am studying at Capilano University in Squamish to become a teacher. I have a very flexible schedule and the means to travel to do drop ins. I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I love to make them feel calm and happy. I really care about safety and stress management, so I prefer to walk dogs on leash (or a long line) and I usually bring a clicker and a treats so we can build up some positive behaviour.

About: I've been around dogs and cats my entire life and have volunteered at a local animal shelter. I'm patient, responsible, and truly enjoy caring for pets of all ages and personalities. I’m currently working part time and I make my own schedule, so I have enough time to attend to your pups needs! I understand the importance of communication and I’ll always try to adapt to schedules. I live in an apartment without yard, but I can tailor activities depending on your pets needs. I enjoy being active and going outside, but I also have a great time if your pet prefers quality time while staying inside.

About: I have lots of experience with all types of dogs. I’ve had 2 dogs of my own that have needed special attention as they were in a wheelchair. I currently work 5hours at a time coaching in whistler. I currently only work 3 days a week so have plenty of spare time to look after your fur babies! Happy to provide care in your house while away or they are welcome to come to mine. I have trails right outside the back door and a lovely river that the dogs love.
