Hi, I’m Jose — founder of He Walks Dogs, your friendly neighborhood dog-walking company based in Vancouver, Washington. I’m 37 years old, joyful by nature, meticulous in my work, and endlessly charmed by every dog I meet. This business began not as a plan, but as a passion that found me — and thankfully, found a place in our community.
It all started with a six-year-old Chihuahua named Lola. For about a year, we walked all over downtown Vancouver, day in and day out. Our bond was strong. Strangers often stopped to ask if I had trained her myself — and were always surprised to learn that I was simply her sitter. “She’s not even mine,” I’d smile. That’s when the next question came:
“How can I use your services?”
That moment sparked something. I realized there was a real need — not just for dog walking, but for thoughtful, custom-tailored care. In 2024, He Walks Dogs was officially born.
From shy pups to social butterflies, every dog has their own rhythm, quirks, and needs. I take pride in discovering what makes your dog feel safe, happy, and excited for their next adventure. Whether it’s a fast-paced run, a sniff-filled stroll, or one-on-one socialization time at the park — we adapt every walk to match your pup’s personality.
Because a tired dog is a happy dog!
But walks aren’t just about movement. They’re about confidence, mental stimulation, and joy. My goal is to make every outing enriching — reinforcing basic commands, offering treats, hydration breaks, and plenty of tail-wagging fun.
🐾 Personalized Attention: Your dog isn’t just another appointment. They’re a friend, a walking buddy, a four-legged adventurer with their own pace and preferences.
🧠 Mental & Physical Stimulation: Regular walks reduce anxiety, prevent obesity, and improve digestion — and they’re good for you too!
💦 Care in Every Detail: I carry water, treats, and toys, and even offer help with feeding or bowl cleaning if needed. Your pup’s wellbeing is everything.
🛡 Safety First: From redirecting aggressive behavior to avoiding harmful items on the ground, I stay focused, calm, and in control on every walk.
Whether you’re running weekend errands, stuck in a meeting, or planning a getaway-your dog still deserves joy, movement, and love.That’s where we come in.
This isn’t just dog walking — it’s building trust, giving care, and sharing daily adventures.
