The Best Dog Walkers in Vancouver
We might be a little biased, but our Google reviews seem to agree.
Hi, we're Kevin and Gretchen, aka Vancouver Pet Parents. We are licensed, bonded, and insured by PROfur. We are also Pet First Aid Certified by Walks 'N' Wags.
We're dog "pawrents" as well as dog walkers in Vancouver (we have a Bernedoodle - @dinosaur_the_doodle on Instagram). We've trained him to walk loose-leash, come whenever he's called (even when chasing squirrels), "drop it, leave it, and wait," not to beg for food at the table, and a few party tricks like "crawl," "bang!" and "high five!"
Our dog, Dinosaur, is also up to date on all his shots and super gentle with puppies (and cats) of any size - he'll be sure to give them the socialization they need!
We provide a dog walking service that we, as Doodle owners, would want ourselves.
We're not dog trainers, but we know how important consistency is when training a dog, so we continue to work with them on anything you are working on, while they are with us on adventures!
Testimonials
“We have been using Vancouver Pet Parents for over a year now and absolutely love the care and adventures they give our dog Ellie! They’ve been taking her on adventures since she was just a little pup (3 months old!!) and getting her socialized with the dood group has been amazing for her development and learning. They always go above and beyond to provide the best experience possible. Definitely recommend!!!”

“Gretchen and Kevin are THE best! We’ve been working with them since our pup was just a few months old. Not only does my pup have so much fun on every adventure, but Gretchen and Kevin help to reinforce our training on re-call and on-leash walks too! I can’t say enough good things about Gretchen and Kevin. If you’re looking for dog walkers who are attentive, communicative and responsible, I highly recommend Vancouver Pet Parents!!”
— Brigid & Louis T.
“We are so happy that we found Vancouver Pet Parents! Our dog has been going on adventures with Gretchen and Kevin for about a month now, and it's already extremely evident how much care and attention they show towards her. When our dog hears their voices on Vancouver Pet Parent's instagram stories, her tail starts to wag and she frantically runs around our home looking for them.
Our dog has an incredible amount of energy. We've noticed an improvement in her training since she's been going on these adventures. We attribute this to the reinforcement that we know Gretchen and Kevin are doing, and her now having a consistent outlet to run around with other dogs.
We highly recommend Vancouver Pet Parents.

“Gretchen and Kevin are the absolute best! We cannot say enough good things about what we now call our pup Izzys “Adventure Day” with the Wednesday crew. Izzy always comes home so happy, and ready for a long rest. My husband and I both have very busy jobs, and it so comforting to know every Wednesday Izzy will be out socializing with other pups and come home a very happy girl. We also really appreciate how Gretchen and Kevin work on skills with her, her recall has vastly improved, and so has her etiquette around other pups. They also send photos and videos throughout the day which I love receiving. Gretchen and Kevin have also happily done a few at home visits on the weekends when my husband and I have last minute been out. They pop by to feed Izzy for us, take her on a stroll with their pup Dinosaur, and even clean up Izzys excited pees for us (sorry! Haha). All of that to say, we highly recommend Vancouver Pet Parents for your pups weekly adventures.
