ABOUT JUNIORS K9

Built on Trust, Adventure, and a Love for Dogs.

We believe every dog deserves thoughtful care, meaningful enrichment, and opportunities to explore the world with confidence.

At Juniors K9, our mission is simple: to provide safe, reliable, and personalized dog care that helps dogs thrive while giving owners peace of mind.

OUR STORY

How Juniors K9 Began

Rhianna and James, founders of Juniors K9, with their dogs in a Vancouver forest. Juniors K9 provides adventure dog walks, training, enrichment, and personalized pet care.

Juniors K9 was founded by two passionate dog lovers who share a deep appreciation for the bond between people and their dogs.

The name Juniors comes from the founders' initials, J.R., and reflects the partnership and shared vision behind the business.

What started as a love of spending time with dogs quickly grew into a desire to provide a higher standard of care—one built on trust, adventure, communication, and genuine connection.

As dog owners ourselves, we understand how important it is to find someone who will care for your dog as if they were their own. That's a responsibility we never take lightly.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

More than just exercise

Dogs exploring and socializing during a Juniors K9 adventure walk, promoting enrichment, confidence, exercise, and positive social experiences.

We believe dog care should support a dog's physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing.

A great walk isn't simply about covering distance.

It's an opportunity to:

  • Explore new environments

  • Build confidence

  • Practice life skills

  • Engage natural instincts

  • Strengthen trust and communication

Whether we're out on a trail, working on training goals, or providing a private walk, our focus is always on creating positive experiences that help dogs feel fulfilled and successful.

ADVENTURE

Dogs thrive when they have opportunities to explore, sniff, and experience the world around them.

RELIABILITY

James

Dogs have always been an important part of my life, and over the years I've gained experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and personalities. I especially enjoy helping dogs build confidence through adventure, enrichment, and positive experiences.

One of my favourite parts of this work is getting to know each dog's unique personality and creating experiences that help them feel happy, fulfilled, and successful. Whether we're out on a trail or enjoying a quiet walk, my goal is always to provide thoughtful, reliable care that both dogs and their owners can trust.

Specialties: Positive reinforcement training, puppy confidence, behavior support

Rhianna

I've always had a natural connection with dogs and enjoy building relationships based on trust, patience, and clear communication. I believe every dog deserves to feel understood, supported, and confident in their environment.

Whether I'm working with an energetic dog who loves adventure or a more sensitive dog who needs time to build confidence, I focus on creating positive experiences that help dogs succeed. My goal is to make every walk, outing, and training session safe, enjoyable, and rewarding.

Thoughtful Care for Every Dog

OUR APPROACH

We understand that every dog has different needs.

Some dogs thrive on adventure.

Some need extra confidence-building.

Some prefer one-on-one attention.

That's why we take the time to get to know each dog and create experiences that are tailored to their individual personality, comfort level, and goals.

Whether your dog joins us for an Adventure Walk, a Private Walk, or Training, they'll always be treated with patience, respect, and care.
