Task Title
Experienced Walker for My Retired Racing Greyhound in Richmond
Message From The Owner
- I am an individual near the Olympic Oval in Richmond looking for a very specific type of dog walker for my retired racing Greyhound, Gus.
- I recently moved to the area, so I'm new to Richmond, and I'm nervous about finding the right fit for him, especially since I'll be working long hours.
- Gus is a sweet, gentle giant, but he needs someone who understands the sighthound mentality—he has a very strong chase instinct, so he must always be kept on-leash, and the walker needs to be strong enough to handle a sudden burst of speed if he sees a rabbit near the trail.
- I need 45-minute walks four days a week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday) between 1-3 PM, focusing on quiet, low-traffic areas away from busy intersections.
- We live in a high-rise apartment, and access is via a FOB, which I will provide; he’s generally very calm, but he needs to be taken down the elevator quickly, so you need to be good with timing.
- Having your own car is a plus because it would give you the option to drive to a quieter, more remote park outside the immediate City Centre area if the weather is nice, though the immediate neighborhood is fine.
- We are also asking that you must be legally allowed to work in Canada for this task.
- Allow extra time for parking, this is Richmond we're talking about, especially near the waterfront, as visitor spots are nonexistent, and the street parking is always full.
- Thanks so much! Can't wait to hear from you!
