Pet care experience
Caring for your pup like my own
As a long time pet parent, I understand that caring for each dog is unique and personalized to their specific needs. To give you the best service, I will respect your pet parenting style when your pup is under my care. I’m an attentive and patient person you can count on with a growing interest in dog training and behaviour. My husband Richard and I work as a team to make sure your pup gets 1:1 play, walks and belly rubs :) Looking for someone experienced in caring for senior pups with medical needs? I’d be happy to help! My dog Cody is a 8 year old chihuahua-mix. He’s quiet, sweet, and an all around good boy. Cody is a rescue and has come a long way through consistent training. As a matter of fact, we use Rover as a tool to help him socialize with other dogs. With the experience I’ve gained from being a parent to a rescue, I approach all dogs with the same level of awareness and mindset.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Gloria was a pleasure to connect with — she took great care of Murphy, giving him eyedrops for his glaucoma and providing lots of details and updates. Grateful for her help!!! Would 10/10 trust and recommend her with my pup again.
Gloria checked in on my cat Hughie while I was away for a weekend and she went above and beyond my expectations for a cat sitter! She was very communicative, gave my little guy lots of attention, and sent me the best photos of him. I would definitely book with Gloria again, it was a pleasure!
Gloria was a great house sitter for us and our pets. Very responsive with pictures and updates. Handled our reactive dog very well! Great experience, will be using Gloria again for longer travels.
Gloria was incredibly kind and communicative while caring for Luna. She really wanted to understand Luna’s admittedly quirky behaviours and how to accommodate them. She was also very kind, delivering one item that got left behind after pickup!
Gloria was amazing, shared news/photos in an appropriate cadence and very easy to talk to, took good care of our dog!
Gloria has done a wonderful job in working with my dynamic and constantly changing schedule. She responds quickly and provides great updates on how the walk went. She also puts in great effort in understanding your dog’s personality, wants and needs. I highly recommend Gloria and I look forward to continue working with her in the future.

Schedule
Walk me through your pup’s typical schedule and we’ll adapt. Expect regular walks during the day as part of our daily routine. On weekends, we’ll spend more time outside if weather permits and will only visit off leash parks with your permission.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority. I ask for your full transparency on your dog’s behaviour (reactivity to triggers) to allow me to prepare. On walks, we won’t enter off leash areas unless you give us permission and we’ll certainly not go off leash in open areas. Your pup will be treated the same way I expect my Cody to be treated! You can look forward to transparent daily updates and observations with photos and videos.

A typical day
Your pup can look forward to walks 4 times a day in the neighbourhood avoiding as much high traffic areas as possible if that’s a trigger. There is plenty of quiet areas and a nearby trail.

- Your pup’s comfort, safety and the safety of others are my top priorities. These are my standard questions and topics I cover with all new clients: • What is their energy level? • Describe tendencies/habits. • Describe all level of reactivity and triggers. • What is their high value reward? • Are there medical issues? • Food sensitivities? • Things you do at home that makes them happy? • What commands do they know? • Any training you’re working on? Let me know so I can continue to reinforce. Reactivity can come in a wide range of behaviours. The more information I have, the better we’re set up for success. Let’s discuss over the phone or in-person.
