Let our Rain Coast Family tell you what all the bark is about!
“We love Hunter! Scraps always has a wonderful time with her and Hunter knows how to make sure the whole pack has fun. Scraps comes home tired and dreams all night about his adventures. Plus Hunter’s photos are beautiful (and have you ever tried to get 5+ dogs to sit at the same time and look in the same direction?!)
Scraps & Ian and Emma
“Daisy Mae is always so excited to get to go hiking with the Rain Coast Dogs crew, and I love knowing that she is getting a ton of exercise and play with her buddies while I am at work!”
Daisy Mae & Darcy
“As a single dog-dad, raising my rambunctious pup without Hunter’s help would be impossible. I always look forward to Hike Day; I come home to a happy, tired dog every time. Hunter goes the extra mile to help me with training and grooming advice. Without Hunter, Dillon would be a sniveling, snarling, white-hot ball of canine terror!”
Dillon & Derek
In 2018, adopted a 1 yr old Great Dane mix that had poor leash manners and was reactive to other dogs and strangers. As a small woman, I approached Hunter to help me train my new large friend. What I got was a comprehensive lesson on what motivates the behavior my dog was displaying and how to intercept and redirect him. 4 years later, that gift has allowed me to understand what my big boy needs in uncomfortable situations- Hunter trained me, so I could be the best provider to my dog.

Absolutely LOVE Hunter! I trust them both with my small dog Willow and I trust VERY few people. I have sent her on the walks and used them for training and both services are and remain essential to owning a dog here in Vancouver! I have worked in the pet industry here in Vancouver for more than 15 years and in my opinion they are THE best! Four paws WAY up 🐾🐾
Willow & Liz
"RainCoast is truly unique among companies offering dog walks and adventure experiences. I have looked for a similar outdoor activity in Toronto and now New York, and I find nothing like what Hunter provides! My dog would lose her mind every time she was picked up for her daily adventure with RainCoast crew, and came back pooped. This daily play was so helpful for my dog's behavioral issues. Hunter was pragmatic, patient and kind with my dog's (and my) eccentricities, and knows how to balance a crew of different canine personalities. RainCoast is the crew you want to trust your dog with!"
Abby & Anna
“Hunter of Rain City Dogs are very responsible, attentive and kind dog walkers. Zuzu, my English Springer Spaniel, is always eager to get out on her twice per week outings with Rain Coast and the pack! If would like your dog to have fun and safe outings, send them out with Rain City! I highly recommend them!”
Zuzu & Vanda
"...The confidence and capability Hunter shows with her dog pack is incredible. I can say that Whiskey adores his RCD pack, his little nub tail wiggles so hard that his feet actually leave the floor when the truck pulls up outside of our house.
And for us, having him exercised and socialized makes it so much easier for us to work with him at home. It reduces his minor bad behaviors significantly and makes our solo trips to the park/trails much more enjoyable because he's learned how to behave in these environments in the joy and stability of his friend pack."
Whiskey & Alex
"We have worked with RainCoast Dogs for over two years, and are absolutely delighted with their professionalism, responsiveness, skill and above all, care for our Ruby. When in the care of Hunter or her team, my family is 100% confident that Ruby will return happily exhausted after her beach run or mountain hike. Plus I know that Hunter has the skill and experience to handle unexpected glitches with other dogs, health emergencies or any other surprises - she’s a seasoned pro."
Ruby & Suzanne
"I spoke to a few people that worked with dogs who recommended RCD to me. From that point on there was no turning back. I would never in a million years trust any other dog service now that I have seen just how above and beyond Hunter goes in her treatment of her dogs. If you want your dogs to be looked after, you have a plethora of choices to chose from; however, if you want your dog to be looked after and loved - this is it. Because while they’re with her, they’re just as important as her own dog – they all become “her dogs”."
Luna & Katie
"Hunter at Rain Coast Dogs is a wonderful person. She communicates well, loves the dogs and is a wealth of knowledge on canine care & behaviour. Our girl always comes home tired, happy and muddy after her mountain adventures (but Hunter does towel down muddy paws)."
Kaia & Bronwen
"My dog is very reluctant to go with anyone but myself but she loves going hiking with Hunter. The hikes help me on days when I am working and give me lots of comfort knowing that my pup is happy and in good hands. Hunter's training abilities have helped my dog's behaviour and there is good communication all the way through. I am so grateful for this service and highly recommend!!"
