Dog Walkers in West Vancouver

About: Hello everyone! 🐾 My name is Marcela, and I created this profile to help my neighbors with walking and caring for their pets. I’ve been working in this field for 4 years and I know animals and their needs very well. I love walking and going for countryside strolls. I'm also the proud owner of a Golden Retriever, so I know plenty of great spots to walk dogs—places with play areas and water stations for hydration. I also have basic knowledge of dog training and can try to teach your pet a few tricks. In addition, I understand pet nutrition and can advise or help you if needed, since our animals require different diets depending on their breed, age, and physical activity. I apply this same understanding to walks. Pets need a set amount of physical activity based on their individual needs. I’m fully aware of this, so I’ll create a personalized plan for your pet. I don’t mind going on long walks if that’s what your furry friend needs. If you like my profile, feel free to get in touch with me! Hola a todos! 🐾 Mi nombre es Marcela y me he creado este perfil con el fin de poder ayudar a mis vecinos con el paseo y cuidado de sus mascotas. Llevo 4 años dedicándome a este sector y conozco muy bien a los animales y sus necesidades. Me encanta caminar y dar paseos por el campo, además soy dueña de un Golden Retriever por lo que conozco un montón de sitios para caminar con ellos, recintos adaptados con juegos incluidos y puntos de agua para su hidratación. También tengo nociones básicas sobre el adiestramiento canino y puedo tratar de enseñarle algunos trucos a tu mascota. Además entiendo sobre la nutrición de los animales y te puedo asesorar o ayudar si lo necesitas, ya que nuestros animales deben llevar una dieta diferente según su raza, edad y actividad física Esto mismo lo aplico a los paseos, nuestras mascotas necesitan un tiempo establecido de actividad física según sus necesidades, soy consciente de ello y por eso formaré un plan especializado en tu mascota y no me importará dar paseos largos si es lo que el animal necesita.

With me, your pet will feel safe and truly loved, as I will give them all my care and affection. I love all animals and enjoy understanding them—I can read their body language and know what they need at any given moment. I have experience with difficult dogs and know how to anticipate and prevent canine conflicts. Since I currently have full availability, I can offer plenty of company and take your dog out for walks as many times as needed. If your pet is social and friendly, we’ll go on walks with my dog, Eros, so they can play together and have an even better time.

Si no es así, llevaré a su peludo un parque o zona verde donde podamos jugar con su juguete favorito. Me adapto a las necesidades físicas y estimulantes de cada perro, ya que cada de uno de ellos es diferente.

About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dogs, including my 5-year-old Labrador Retriever who is paralyzed and requires special attention every day. This has taught me patience, gentle handling, and how to manage mobility challenges with care and compassion. I also care for two other healthy dogs, which means I’m experienced with daily walks, feeding routines, playtime, and grooming. Whether it’s active pups or pets that need extra support, I can provide reliable, loving, and attentive care. Pet care is a natural part of my daily life since I already look after my own dogs every day. I have a flexible routine that allows me to fit in walks, feeding, playtime, and grooming without difficulty. Because I’m used to balancing care for multiple dogs, I can easily adjust my schedule to meet your pet’s needs—whether it’s regular walks, drop-ins, or overnight care. In my home, pets are treated like family. I make sure they have a safe, clean, and comfortable space where they can relax and feel at ease. I pay close attention to each pet’s needs—whether that’s giving medication, helping with mobility, or simply providing extra cuddles and playtime. Safety always comes first: walks are on-leash, feeding is done on schedule, and I keep a close eye on pets at all times. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow the routine that the owner provides. I focus on building trust, keeping pets comfortable in their familiar environment, and giving updates so owners have peace of mind while they’re away.

About: I draw from years of personal experience caring for pets who’ve been lifelong companions. My own journey began with a dog who stayed by my side for over a decade and a cat who grew up alongside my family. Over the years, I’ve also cared for smaller pets, like a curious hamster and a playful parrot, learning how to keep them happy and healthy. Whether it’s sharing tips for walking senior dogs, enriching the lives of parrots, or ensuring hamsters stay active, I’m here to help you nurture the special bond you have with your pets. I am working part-time and freelance. I can accommodate to various schedule needs of pet care. I can look after your pet based on the detailed discussion I always keep dogs on leash and I don’t let cats or other pets out unless specifically requested baby the owner and I made sure it is safe to do so

I have been around animals some very shy rescue for a few years I enjoy getting to know animals and how we can assist them in having a good day 😊

“Lena has been amazing with my crazy pup! She’s very responsive and you can tell she loves animals and cares for my dog like it was her own! She replies promptly and also is very reliable! She is great at handling the many adventures my dog takes her through! Working shift work makes me heavily rely and worry about my dog however i haven’t had a worry about my dog because i know he is getting good care on his daily walks !”
