How It Works

Reach out and set up a free initial consultation with us: we can chat in more detail, meet both you and your dog, assess your dog and their/your needs, and chat what you are looking for in a dog walker in Vancouver (note: we are currently only taking on new clients in River District, but can make exceptions if you are willing to be put on a waitlist and don't need to be put on a regular dog walking schedule).
Depending on what service you've picked, we always do a trial day to ensure your dog gets along with the pack of the day and that they'd be a good fit for our VIP (very important pets) crew. Because we do take up to six dogs at any one time, we cannot accept any aggressive or reactive dogs with behavioural issues on our group adventures.
Once you're part of the pack, you can either be on a set regular walk and/or daycare schedule, or choose to use our services sporadically - we're pretty flexible. Priority obviously goes to our clients that are on a set schedule.
We pick your dog up, go out on our adventure of the day, take a lot of pictures and videos to keep you updated (IG: @vancouverpetparents), and return a tired and happy dog to you (high-energy Doodles are our specialty). Your dog might even be "hungover" the next day.
Pick-up and drop-off services included. You don't have to find time in your busy schedule to drop them off or pick them up. We can also take a set of keys, so you don't even have to worry about being around during pick-up and drop-off.
We take a maximum of six dogs in a group, to ensure that your pets get the attention they deserve. Your dog's safety is our top priority. We will also never let them off-leash without your consent, and until we are comfortable enough with their recall.
We also continue to work on anything and everything you're working on with your pup, training wise. We understand how important consistency is in your dog's training. Most of our clients have been with us since they were young puppies, so we've helped train and raise them into the well-behaved dogs they are today. We're not dog trainers though, so are unable to accept any dogs with behavioural or aggression issues - we do have a shortlist of dog trainers in the area we work with, so reach out if you'd like a referral.
A suitable plan is customized for your pup, which factors in their age and exercise needs. They are then placed in the appropriate pack, providing that they pass the initial trial day.
A tired and happy dog is returned to you - that's our guarantee. We're not your traditional doggy daycare and can promise they won't come home smelling like pee. Mud is a different story, but just leave us a towel by your front door, and we can do a thorough wipe down before they come back inside. We can also give your pups a bath after our adventure (for an additional $45), so you can have a clean and good smelling pup to cuddle with on the couch.

Start your puppy off on the right foot.
We’re dog walkers that help socialize your pups and continue their training, while they enjoy fun adventures with other well-behaved pups.
