What makes a dog walker book out in Vancouver

Vancouver owners work flexible tech and film hours, and their dogs still need a midday walk, rain or shine. The walkers who earn the most are the ones who do not cancel when it pours. A reliable, no-cancel reputation through the wet months, plus a quick photo from the seawall, is what turns a one-off into a standing weekday booking.

Never cancel for rain

Good rain gear and a dependable reputation are worth more than anything in Vancouver. Owners reward walkers who show up wet.
