Vancouver Pet Parents

We love our Vancouver Pet Parents! Gretchen and Kevin are the best, our pup is very excited for his adventures. Their adventures are a great way for our pup to socialize with other dogs in a safe space. We love that we get live updates when they're out, with pictures and videos. We love that they visit different locations each time. We also appreciate the spa towel service after the adventures! Highly recommend their services!

I’m so grateful we got introduced to Gretchen and Kevin because my dog gets SO excited when they pick her up for adventure group...and she comes home happy and exhausted. Knowing she’s had a fun, and active time in nature, with them, makes me feel a little bit less guilty during the work week. And I love the small group size, it’s a rarity in Vancouver.

Gretchen was able to do cat drop ins while I was away for a long weekend and it was wonderful! Gretchen and Kevin made a point to come by before so myself and my cat were comfortable and confident before I left, and made any key and information exchange incredibly easy. I am always very anxious about leaving my little one and he doesn't always like people, but within a day I was getting videos of him greeting her and happy to see her. She sent me plenty of videos and photos which were so reassuring to see, including him happily eating which he will not do if he's stressed or upset. The peace of mind I got was invaluable. My little one even got upset and acted out the first day after her visits were over, he really missed seeing her and was upset to not get the attention anymore! I will absolutely use them again!

Gretchen and Kevin are so wonderful! We’ve left our dog with them for overnight boarding on numerous occasions and he is always so well cared for! We got daily updates and pictures and he went on little adventures and had so many snuggles! He always returns home relaxed and tired❤️ So happy to have found Vancouver Pet Parents for Max!!

Gretchen and Kevin have been taking our dog Friday for adventure walks for months and he absolutely loves them! He always comes home happy and tired. Friday started with them when he was just a pup and they were very conscious of his exercise needs and limits. 10/10, would recommend!

I love going on vacations, but am so attached to my cat that I struggle to leave him in cat hotels because he doesn't get the care that I would prefer him to have. So, I don't go on vacations as often as I normally would.Cue Vancouver Pet Parents. I'm absolutely grateful that Gretchen and Kevin are just steps away from the neighborhood I live in. They took great care of my cat and sent regular updates when I was away. They are so attentive to your pets and not once did I worry if my little guy was being cared for properly. Absolutely recommend their services and I stand by their company, especially if you are in the River District area.

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 go above and beyond with our pup every time she goes on an adventure! She loves them so much and gets so excited every time she hears their voices. She comes home tired and happy, and we are constantly updated with pictures and sweet stories so we know she is safe and having fun. They provide the option of a bath when she comes home from the beach, which is always appreciated. I actually met them at a small park when our dog was just a puppy, and their clear love and dedication to their own sweet and well-trained dog, Dinosaur made it clear that they are skilled and compassionate dog owners and lovers! I could not recommend them more!

I was very happy to find Gretchen and Kevin when I moved to the River District area! They are both true dog lovers and take amazing care of my pup like their own.Cowboy (my dog) started off with half an hour solo walks with Gretchen and Kevin - he had some leash reactivity that they were helping us with and now with him being fully trained and a little bit older, he is able to go on adventures with the other dogs! He loves the doodles :) They also send pictures/updates on Cowboy and that just lets me know he's in good hands.Cowboy gets so excited whenever they come to pick him up because he loves Gretchen and Kevin, but he knows he's going to have a day of playing with his friends! So happy I found them and thankful that they love/care for Cowboy just as much as I do. They also have the best recap stories on their Instagram!

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!!
