Dog Walking Hockinson

“Vivian was so great with our border collie. She has a past injury to her trachea so walking can be difficult for her, she was so patient with her and took her time. I definitely recommend her!”

Kendra A.

“Our doggie loves his walks with Sarah! He recognizes her car, and actually watches for her when he thinks the time is right. She's punctual and friendly, and an obvious dog lover.”

Katie M.

“Kat was very good with my pup. Shes on time, very good with communication and most of provided excellent care for my pup. My shepherd was happy to be her ...such a wonderful vibe.”

“Today was more of a meet and greet with my senior dog. Jack’s got some behavioral issues and isn’t the best with new people. Lyla was great. She had a very calming energy. Jack warmed up to her and was able to settle down and relax in her presence.”

“Big heart and very patient with our extra large puppy who has lots of energy! Reliable and detailed in following directions for meds and our handling preferences. Our pup loves Tracy and we feel confident leaving her in Tracy's care. Great job!”

About: I have lived with both cats and dogs since I could walk. I have been responsible for feeding, walking, grooming, and playing with many pets since I was 8 years old. I have experience in caring for senior animals, herding dogs, and puppies/kittens. I also independently trained my family's border collie on things like recall and other basic commands. I am available 24/7 to cat or dog sit, walk your dogs, or play with your pets while you can't be with them. I personally own 6 pets (4 cats and 2 dogs) who I take care of with the help of my family. I love to spend time cuddling, playing, and offering enrichment to all pets when I am with them. This may look like playing with toys, taking dogs for walks, working on basic commands, or just quality time.

“Wonderful!”

About: Hi I’m Jenny, and I provide reliable walks and drop-in care for your furry family. With over three years of pet care experience, I have cared for dogs and cats of various ages, breeds, and temperaments through drop-in visits, boarding, doggy daycare, and walks. My experience includes feeding, exercise, administering basic medications, maintaining routines, providing companionship, and ensuring pets feel safe and comfortable while their owners are away. I work from home providing pet care through any means necessary or needed for you and your furry family. Im happy and eager to accommodate and work with your schedule and needs. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities. During visits and boarding, I closely supervise pets and provide a calm, loving environment. Building trust is important to me, both with pets and their owners. I take the time to get to know each pet, allowing them to adjust at their own pace and creating positive experiences through patience, consistency, and gentle care. I also keep owners informed with regular updates and photos, providing peace of mind while they’re away. My goal is to create a loving, dependable environment where every pet feels safe, cared for, and treated like family.

“Chelsea is wonderful! As a new pup mom was a bit anxious about getting all this started and how it would go for Maggie. Chelsea made it so easy, answered all my questions, shares pictures of their time together and assures Maggie is well cared for, couldn’t be happier!”

About: I have owned and taken care of dogs and cats my entire life, including currently owning a German Shepherd. I am comfortable taking care of dogs and cats of all ages and giving medication if needed. I am a teacher on summer break so I generally have a pretty open schedule to spend lots of time with your pet. I am available for walks, drop-in visits, or to come stay with your pet. Due to my own dog, I cannot currently host any pets in my own home. I am happy to come stay with your pet or drop-in as needed. I am committed to following your pets normal routines and any specific directions to keep your pet as safe and comfortable as possible.

“Tiffany is new to me, but so far she is exceptional! She is prompt, professional, and, most importantly, my dog Sam loves to see her arrive at our door!”

About: I have always been a lover of animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own. I have previously worked as a Licensed Veterinary Technician for 5 years, in both small and large animal practices. I have also had many of my own animals throughout my life, including dogs, cats, rabbits, horses, donkeys and alpacas. Animals have always been a central part of my life. Due to my previous work as a licensed vet tech I am comfortable with administering medications or handling special care your animal may need. I have experience in caring for animals of all ages, including senior animals. Thank you for your time, I look forward to meeting and caring for your pets! I am currently a stay at home mom which allows me to have a very flexible schedule. I am available to do most early mornings, afternoons, as well as evenings. I have been pet sitting off and on for the past 15 years. I try my best to match the routine your pets are accustomed to while they are in my care. I am also a very detail oriented person and make sure to keep things neat during my visits.

“Francisca was amazing! She went above and beyond while I went out of town for 7 days. I was so anxious to leave my pup alone and Francisca made me feel so comfortable. She gave great daily communication and updates. She took my pup to run some errands and even spent extra time with my pupper after the walks to make her feel safe (My dog and I have never been apart that long). I could see on the house camera that she treated my pup/my home with such respect and treated my pup and if she were her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Francisca to another seeking a walker/sitter and I will definitely be using her in the future! I think I even made a friend! ?❤️”

About: Hi! I’ve had dogs and cats in my life since I was about 4, so caring for animals has always come naturally to me. With 35+ years of experience, I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. From Chihuahuas and Yorkies to Pit Bulls and Labs, I’m used to them all! I’m happy to go on walks, play, or just keep your pet company and make sure they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and always focus on keeping them happy and well cared for. I currently work at a school, so my schedule opens after 3:30pm M-Th and after 1:00pm on Fridays. I’m also available most weekends I’m happy to play with your pet indoors or out, take them for walks, or just check in and keep them company! Whatever your pet needs, I’m available to provide to keep them safe and happy.

“Elisangela, is a wonderful and loving pet professional. She took care of my boy Trevor in cold and rainy Portland, she made this cold and rainy day fun for Trevor by playing ball with him and giving he a lot of exercise. She kept me well updated with text messages and plenty of pictures. I can’t say enough about her and my use of her services, I would definitely recommend her to any Pet parents looking to use Elisangela. Please also note due to being in town for business, Elisangela was very flexible when my meetings went over she kindly went to check on my boy, not only that she meets each of her pet parents and pet first before booking. I could write a book about this lady, but I will stop here. Thank you, Pamela”

About: I grew up in a family that owned dogs all of my life. I also pet sat (both cats and dogs) for many family friends over the years, even helping look over a dog team once when I lived in Alaska. Furthermore, I am capable of going on long walks or short ones, playing fetch or tug of war for extended periods, or just chillin' at home providing all the belly rubs and scratches as possible. I recently just moved to the Vancouver area, and I am seeking full-time employment. Thus, as of right now, my schedule is wide open, which makes me available anytime and any day (even weekends) to take care your pet. I am flexible for how will care for your pet in your home. If your pet requires a lot of attention and play time, then I am more than willing to take them to the backyard or nearest park to let them play to their hearts content. Or, if your pet is shy or getting older, I can certainly give them their space.

About: Hi there! My name is Janesia, and I have over 10 years of experience house sitting and pet sitting for family and friends, along with two years of trusted experience here on Rover. I currently have four lovable furry friends of my own—one sweet dog and three adorable cats—so I truly understand how important it is to find someone you trust with your pets. I’m experienced with administering medications, caring for senior pets, and working with dogs who have anxiety or need a little extra patience and love. No matter the age, breed, or special need, all animals are welcome to be cared for and loved on in my care! I currently work part-time, averaging about 25 hours a week with 8-hour shifts, which gives me the flexibility to provide reliable, attentive care. I’m also planning to start college soon to pursue a career in medical school, so caring for animals is not only a passion but also a fulfilling and flexible part of my journey. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or overnight stays, I treat every pet like family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry companions! Pet care fits into my daily life because I have a German shepherd corgi who is around 7 years old and 3 cats of various ages! I love love animals of all kinds! I work day shifts part time and attend college online so I have plenty of extra time to lend some helpful paws! I like to say I spoil my animals haha I buy them collars/toys that coordinate with the holidays, I give them toys that also help with mental stimulation during the day and I go on daily (2/3 times) walks with my dog and cats. When it comes to watching someone’s animals I treat them like one of my own!

About: Ever since I was born, my family has always had multiple dogs. Currently, I have 4 dogs in my household. My mom also runs a dog breeding business breeding Australian Labradoodles. I have worked with both caring for puppies and adult dogs at home. Currently, I'm in the need of something to do this summer! So what better way is there but to apply my experience with pet care! This means that I am available for the most part every day at any hour. Given my knack for dogs, I always ensure that I know where your dogs are at all times. I also pay attention to their needs.
