Proudly serving Bowen Island and West Vancouver
Professional and reliable since 2006 ~ Licensed, insured, and certified
We take pride in building a loving relationship with each furry family member with experienced guidance and boundaries. Offering a balanced, structured approach to exercise and fun by compassionate and calm leaders, we consider your pets to be our extended family and care deeply for both their physical and emotional well-being.
We happily provide personalized service in all aspects of pet care as we are aware that your pups and kitties are individuals and have different needs. If your pet is fearful or unsure, we will take a gentle patient approach to confidence and trust building.
If your dog pulls on their leash or is over excited when passing others, we will work on boundaries and manners on our group hikes or individual walks.
Sharing your furry family members is a privilege for us and we take this responsibility very seriously. Professionally supervised, fun adventures make for a happy, balanced pet.
Bark Philosophy
About Bark
Bark was founded by Leila Kamil and Gordon Walker in 2006.
Both Leila and Gord have worked with animal trainers and behaviorists, studying a variety of methods in order to hone their own professional approach to pet sitting and walking. Using their knowledge and experience, they ensure that your pet is happy and balanced when in their care and in your home.
​
We offer a complimentary meet 'n greet and introductory walk, plus a discount for additional pets in one household.

Structured
Leash Walks
Coming soon...
All hikes take place in a natural setting, such as in the forest or at the beach. Dogs exit the Bark van orderly and are leashed for the first 50 meters from the road or parking lot. All new pack members stay on leash while building their relationship with the pack.
Our focus on safe play and activity ensures that your pup is socialized, exercised, and always towel-dried before being brought home. Dogs are never left unattended in the Bark van for any longer than it takes to pick up or drop off a fellow pack member.
