Pet care experience

Retired Professional Dog Trainer

I had a successful positive reinforcement dog training business in Vancouver for several years and now I live in Squamish. I held a CPDT-KA certification which I opted not to renew last year because I no longer teach classes. My own dog is 15 years old and can no longer enjoy a long trail walk with me, so I would like to help other dog owners meet their dogs’ needs. I am also certified in Pet First Aid.

Safety, trust & environment

I have many years of experience caring for dogs and I love to make them feel calm and happy. I really care about safety and stress management, so I prefer to walk dogs on leash (or a long line) and I usually bring a clicker and a treats so we can build up some positive behaviour.

Rileigh was fantastic with our pup who can be reactive. Gave her great walks and lotsa love!

Rileigh took great care of my golden retriever on an overnight stay! She had great communication and sent regular updates. Our place was clean when we came back and our pup was happy and tired. Thanks Rileigh!!

Rileigh is a fantastic, trustworthy house and pet sitter who cared really well for our animals. She clearly loves dogs and cats, which made us feel very comfortable leaving our animal babies in her care. She is also a great communicator.

Rileigh was awesome with our pets and took great care of them! She responded quickly to any message I sent and gave me daily updates which I appreciated so much! We would be happy to book her for pet sitting again.

Rileigh was amazing with our two dachshunds during a last-minute 5-night stay. We’d never left them with anyone outside of family before, but her great communication and regular photo/video updates gave us so much peace of mind. Her background in dog training was a huge bonus — she even helped with some behaviors we’d been struggling with. Highly recommend Rileigh to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!
