Absolute dog enthusiast
Pet care experience
I've lived with and have worked with dogs all my life. I grew up with two black labradors one of which was a rescue, I've walked and cared for neighborhood dogs as a side job all throughout high school, and I worked in a professional dog daycare center 'Hipster Hounds' during college and briefly at the old On Cue animal training dog daycare here in NS. After college I worked with a dog walking app called 'Wag!' and consistently recieved 5 star ratings from every owner I worked with throughout the area. Having shadowed a succesfull animal trainer, I've become very familiar with dogs that have behavioral issues, such as leash reactive, dog reactive, and even dog aggression. This includes rescue dogs with anxiety or selective reactivity. Dogs with these issues are more than capable of having well rounded comfortable lives and I would love to help your dog feel safe in your neighborhood. I have a deep rooted love for dogs and can bond with them quickly and easily. I have the kind heart, strength, and knowledge to care for dogs of all sizes.
Reviews
Rhiannon took such good care of our dogs for the two weeks we were away. We can tell they miss having her around! Her communication was great, there was no wondering how they were doing. Loads of pictures, messages and videos! We really appreciate all she did for our Lenny and Ziggy!
What can I say, Rhiannon was an absolute gem. She sent me lots of pics and videos. My dog Suri absolutely loved her. The neighbors also thought she was great. I wasn’t even the slightest bit worried while I was away. Suri was in the best possible hands. I highly recommend Rhiannon. My scheduling was all over the place and she accommodated the changes ! I will not hesitate to use her again.
Rhiannon was fantastic with Juno!
Rhiannon is the best! She’s so sweet to our pets and we would highly recommend to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to stay at the owners home as opposed to boarding, mostly so the dog can be comfortable in their own home while their parents are away. I keep in contact with owners and give daily updates and pictures when possible, especially when medication or strict routines are concerned.
Information Rhiannon K. would like to know about your pet
No breed preference, I would like to know what a dogs general temperament and behavior is like on-leash and around other dogs, people, distractions etc. If possible I enjoy bringing my easy going Labrador along for overnight sits or longer walks, but as always I will discuss the possibility of that beforehand, and would prefer my and your dog meet before any plans are put in place!
A typical day
I've become somewhat familiar with the parks and trails around the city. If allowed I would love to take them to a nearby park, beach, or hiking trail! I also love positive reinforcement while on walks, especially with reactive or young dogs, and will always discuss treats and allergies before rewards.

Availability
As of now I am mainly accepting walks and drop ins on weekdays, although I do selectively accept dog sits as well. Currently I am unsure of my availability in the long term, however its always best to put the request in sooner rather than later, so it gives us time to talk about your pets needs. In addition, I prefer to have multiple meets and visits with dogs that have behavioral issues, so that proper trust is formed between all involved.
