15 years of experience

Safety, trust & environment

I provide safe, and efficient play, walk relief, potty breaks or lunch time to working parents so their dogs have during the day interaction. Be that taking them for a walk in the neighbourhood or playing with them in their backyard whatever would suit your dogs personality and activity requirements best.

Information Rita G. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any medical conditions, medications, anxiety or special requirements I'd love to discuss those prior to pet sitting or walking during our initial meet and greet to make sure the dog is comfortable and well cared for while under my care.

A typical day

After the initial meet and greet, and once your dog gets settled we will hang out and then we will head out for a walk to explore the neighbourhood or play in the backyard. Depending on your dogs preference I'm happy to play ball, frisbee, "go find it", tug of war, or hang out depending on the dogs energy needs.

Rita was great and so attentive to our demanding Huskies. 😊 We appreciate all the love and care you gave them.

Gravy our golden retriever absolutely adored Rita’s company and companionship. Rita was very attentive to Gravy’s diet, and we absolutely trust Gravy in Rita’s care. Thank you so much Rita for being a bright spot in our beloved Golden Retriver’s life.

Rita was an excellent dog walker! I wish we still lived in the same city so that I could lean on her for my beloved animals —- we had a shih tzu, alongside our current dogs, golden retriever, poodle, corgi and shepherds. Really different temperaments so I was really happy that we could have Rita’s expertise. Wouldn’t trust any other dog walker.
