Dog Walking Hough

“Emily did great for a first meeting and walk with our pup. She can be slow to warm up and Emily was patient and very honest and communicative with how the visit went. Appreciate the extra step of cleaning up a mess our kitties made that wasn’t on the bill!”

“I am so very pleased with my experience using Ching for the first time to walk my 2 small dogs while I was at a convention. She was very responsive, sent me photos and updates, even letting me know that one of my dogs who has had previous leg surgery was not up to a full walk, so she carried her for a bit. I really appreciated the peace of mind knowing that my pups were happy and well looked after while I couldn’t be home. Thank you!!”

About: I've been taking care of pups in my free time for three years now, I used to work in a bar and meeting the dogs who come in with their humans created my love for it. Now that I am no longer in the bar industry, I want to do this more full time! I am only employed doing petsitting and looking to love on your pups just like they are my own! I have always loved dogs, and making this my full time job is all I want! I am staying in your home with your dogs whenever you need. Making sure they get all their meals, meds, potty breaks and playtime they would need!

About: I have over 10 years of experience caring for a variety of animals, from dogs and cats to large lizards, reptiles, birds, and farm animals. I believe in providing the highest quality of care and an enthusiastic about engaging with your animals. A lot of people tend to thing that animals, especially cats, only require the bare minimum, but the reality is that for the best quality of life they need consistent and engaged care. To me this means deep cleaning litter boxes, ensuring they’re cleaned at least once a day, cleaning bowls regularly, engaging in active play and exercise/mental stimulation, and being patient when shy animals need time to warm up. Leaving your animals is hard—on both of you—having someone you can trust and rely on makes all the difference. I am so excited to meet your pets and give them love. I currently work from home full time but can flex hours where needed or work from any home that has wifi and a place for me to set up. I am passionate about making sure that spaces I am in are safe, comfortable, and clean for your pets. This means that I am also available to provide light cleaning while I am there. I am especially skilled with shy or easily scared animals and have a lot of experience working with them to get used to people. I currently only take pets in my home that are comfortable and non aggressive towards cats. The animals will be separated by floor (boarded animals stay on my first floor) and a baby gate to minimize any potential issues.

About: I’ve had my own personal pets all my life and believe pets are family and treat them as such. I have also taken care of friends, and family pets as well. Currently, I do not have any pets of my own as I lost my 2 Boston terriers last year. Now I’m dedicating my time to help others care for their pet family members. I love animals and anyone who knows me, knows this about me. I work from home full-time and I can work from anywhere that has internet. I just bring my laptop and I’m able to care for your fur kids all day :) I am especially good at cuddles all day, walks, and feeding/playing with your fur kids. My motto is animals are better than humans because they are. I love them!

“She was very nice and great with my boy. He looks forward to seeing her again.”

About: Ever since I was little I can remember always taking care of others - people, dogs, cats and many other little creatures along the way. Now as the new season approaches and spring welcomes us, I am now looking for new work and would love to care and connect with all the fur babies in our community here in Downtown Vancouver! I have open availability between 6am and 9pm everyday! More then enough to care for your fur babies and lend a helping hand:) Thank you! I have two sassy girl cats who love their floor to ceiling cat tree and many toys they go crazy for! With sassy being said, my services will be provided in home only as Indie and Luna are very particular with who they let into their home😅

“Best. Dog. Walker. Ever. Fabulous videos and pictures. Very caring. The only one I've trusted with Luna since we moved out here! Thank you, Claire!!”

About: I have owned dogs and cats since for almost 15 years. I also grew up with cats and dogs in our family home. My family currently has a 2 year old Golden Retriever named Lily and 2 cats named Dobby and Luna (can you tell we’re Harry Potter fans? 😉). Before our Golden Retriever, we had a Staffordshire Terrier mix named Maggie. We had her for 8 years - she died unexpectedly in August 2021. While we had Maggie we also had 2 cats named Oscar and Felix. My husband and I moved in together in July 2009 and since then we have never not owned at least 1 animal at any given time. We are obviously an animal-loving family! I have always loved dogs and their unconditional love and companionship. They’ll never judge or ridicule, just love you. In addition to our dog and 2 cats we have 2 human children - our son Jaxson is 8 and our daughter Addie is 5. My husband is a plumber and I have been a stay at home mom for 5+ years now. My son will be in 3rd grade in the Fall and my daughter is starting kindergarten. Thus, I will have more free time during the day now to help with your beautiful and lovable pets! I’m currently a full-time stay at home parent but my youngest child will be starting kindergarten in September, so I will have lots more time to play with your pups and take them for walks, or even provide doggy daycare at my home. I can also provide drop-in visits for cats. I can also provide house-sitting but only primarily on the weekends. I will primarily be available Monday-Friday from 8:30am-2:30pm but I could also do evenings and weekends depending on my kids’ activities schedules. For doggy daycare services, have a fully fenced yard and a very friendly and non-aggressive Golden Retriever who loves playing with other dogs. We also have a large soft crate if your dog needs to be crated if I need to leave the house for awhile. For dog-walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting I will treat your home with the utmost respect and follow any and all rules and procedures of your home. I want you to feel secure and comfortable at all times with me being in your home and taking care of your beloved pets.

About: I’m a lifelong pet parent who has never lived without a furry companion by my side. My hands-on experience includes raising puppies, establishing reliable house routines, and navigating specific training and behavioral needs with my own dogs. I continuously invest time in reading training literature and attending webinars to ensure I use patient, positive-reinforcement techniques. You can count on me to respect your existing training cues, keep your pup physically and mentally engaged, and deliver detailed daily check-ins for complete peace of mind. I work from home with full control over my work calendar, allowing me to provide frequent potty breaks, active walks, and dedicated companionship all day. I mirror your pet's familiar routines in your home, providing structured leashed walks, timely feeding, clean spaces, and loving companionship while keeping your home secure.

About: I’ve worked with a wide variety of animals, including cats, dogs, horses, rabbits, mice, fish, land crabs, amphibians (aqua/land), guinea pigs, and more. I’m comfortable handling pets of all sizes, personalities, and temperaments—whether they’re energetic, calm, reactive, nervous, or affectionate. I’m skilled at reading animal behavior, staying calm in challenging situations, and adapting to each animal’s individual needs. My priority is always to create a safe, comfortable environment where every animal feels secure, respected, and well cared for. Sorry for the lack of photos, I usually stay present with the animals! While I do clean up while I’m over at your house, i also offer housekeeping for extra. If you need! Pet care fits easily into my schedule because I’m able to plan my day around visits, feedings, walks, medication administration, and check-ins. I’m organized, reliable, and understand the importance of consistency in an animal’s routine. Whether a pet needs early morning care, midday attention, evening visits, or overnight stays, I communicate clearly about my availability and ensure I can fully commit to the care schedule before accepting a booking. I treat every pet as a priority and make sure they receive the time, attention, and care they need. I provide attentive, low-stress care whether pets stay in my home or I care for them in theirs. In my home, pets enjoy a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of opportunities to play, explore, and relax. I maintain consistent routines for feeding, potty breaks, exercise, and any special care needs to help them feel settled and secure. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I follow their established routine as closely as possible, providing companionship, exercise, supervision, and personalized attention while respecting household rules and preferences. I’m comfortable working with pets of all sizes, ages, energy levels, and temperaments, and I focus on creating a positive experience where every animal feels safe, understood, and well cared for.

“Elaine was wonderful! She filled in as Sharpie’s dog walker, and I couldn’t have been happier with the care she provided. Sharpie can be a little particular, and Elaine was patient, reliable, and clearly experienced with dogs. She kept me updated, was always on time, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. I would absolutely recommend Elaine to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and dependable dog walker. Thank you, Elaine, for taking such great care of Sharpie!”

“Sadie has been wonderful with our two labs. She is prompt and reliable. Super comfortable with dogs.”

About: I have taken care of cats since I was young and for the past three years, I’ve taken care of my own puppy. I love all animals, providing for their needs, and giving them the love and attention they deserve. When I take care of them, I provide lots of photos and details of what went on during the visit to keep you updated. Your pets are safe with me! My schedule is currently very open, so I have plenty of room in my schedule to care for your fur baby and provide for their needs. If needed, I can crate your dog or keep them in a pen, whichever situation you have. I’m meticulous about making sure that there is nothing around that could harm your pet and I keep a vigilant eye.

About: Hello! I’ve had dogs my entire life and recently moved to Vancouver from San Francisco, where I provided pet care through Rover. I’m excited to continue caring for dogs here and look forward to giving your pet the same love, attention, and reliable care I would give my own. I work from home full time, giving me the flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your pet throughout the day. Caring for animals is something I truly enjoy, and I look forward to the opportunity to meet your furry friend! At home, I take breaks from my work from home job to take my roomie's dog (or yours!) out for walks every few hours and to get some fresh air.

“We love Autumn!!”
