Raintown Dog Walking

Mindful walks for every paw

Adventurous pup or mellow old soul? We walk at their pace.

At Raintown Dog Walking, we offer more than just exercise — we provide enriching, trainer-designed walks designed to engage both mind and body. Serving Vancouver’s dog-loving community, our certified team is dedicated to tailoring every walk to your pup’s unique needs, whether they’re an energetic adventurer, a thoughtful senior, or somewhere in between.

From scent games and confidence-building activities to calm strolls and focused movement work, we believe every outing is an opportunity to help your dog grow, explore, and thrive. And because we know how much peace of mind matters, we keep you connected with clear communication, regular updates, and plenty of happy-dog photos.

At Raintown, each walk is more than a routine — it’s a bond built on trust, compassion, and a shared love for your four-legged companion.

A Team Built by Dog Trainers, Driven by Care

Kris Hampton CTC, CPDT-KA

Kris is the founder of Raintown Dog Training and started Raintown Dog Walking with the same mission in mind: to create experiences that are enriching, engaging, and tailored to each dog. She began her journey as a dog walker long before becoming a multi-certified trainer, and has built a team of caring, knowledgeable professionals who share her love for dogs — and their humans. Kris still guides a select number of walks herself, ensuring every pup enjoys thoughtful, rewarding experiences that make Raintown truly stand out.

Lauren Hutchinson

Lauren has been a professional dog walker for just over two years, but her love for dogs goes back much further. Growing up with dogs in her family sparked a lifelong passion, and walking them every day has only deepened her dedication. For Lauren, walks are not just about exercise—they’re about creating a safe, fun, and positive experience for every dog.

Her curiosity about canine behavior and training has led her to work closely with experienced trainers, bringing that knowledge into each walk. She loves helping dogs feel comfortable, confident, and engaged, no matter their age or personality.

Whether it’s a playful puppy, a senior who prefers a steady pace, or a dog who needs extra patience and care, Lauren tailors every walk to meet each pup’s unique needs. The best part for her is building trust and seeing the joy on a dog’s face when it’s time for their next adventure.

Rhiannon van Lidth de Jeude Roemer, KPA-CTP

Rhi discovered her passion for dog training while helping her own dog work through fear and reactivity, and she hasn’t looked back since. She holds a certification from the Karen Pryor Academy and brings her love for dogs and science-based, force-free methods to every walk and training session.

At Raintown Dog Walking, Rhi helps ensure that every pup enjoys attentive, engaging, and enriching walks, tailored to their individual needs. She loves seeing dogs grow in confidence, playfulness, and happiness — and she can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged companion.
