Energetic Dog Walker in Owen Sound

Pet care experience

In 2006, I met my very first fur baby, Tanner. A 70 lbs, one year, old Lab/Shepherd mix. We were inseparable. From that moment, I learned as much as I could about taking care of dogs. I gave him lots of walks and so much love. Tanner lived a full and happy life and when he passed, I was devastated. After 6 years without a dog, our family then adopted our Chili, a Jack Chi mix. He's feisty, friendly, and brings us so much joy. My neighbours rely on me to take care of their dogs when they are away. I now have the opportunity in my life to have more time available to take care of other dogs. I would love to meet and walk your fur baby. Send me a message and we can set up a plan that works for you.

Ruth M. Is an amazing person. She made our elderly dog’s day! She was very attentive and made her anxiety go away by giving extra cuddles! Can’t say enough about Ruth. Thank you for being an awesome, attentive and caring person!

Ruth was great with my 5 year old energetic dog, Fran. She arrived on time and got Fran out on a good hearty walk. Fran was happy and tired for the rest of the afternoon. Thank you Ruth!

This dog loving, active, responsible and kind woman would be such a great addition to you and your doggy’s life! With her energy, enthusiasm and passion for our four legged friends, Ruth could not be a better choice if you are looking for someone to get your pup out and about for some fresh air and exercise! I would highly recommend Ruth for all dog walks, long and short.

Ruth is the ultimate pet companion, blending responsibility with a loving touch. Her honesty and resourcefulness make her more than a sitter; she's a true friend to every fur baby, ensuring their happiness and well-being with genuine care and attention. Trust in Ruth for peace of mind.

A typical day

I love playing games with dogs to provide mental stimulation by teaching new tricks and playing with toys. I also love exploring our neighbourhood and local trails or off-leash time at the dog park. I make play time as fun as possible so those afternoon dog naps are well deserved!
