About US

Locally owned & operated, powered by women!

Hi! I am Yruwsha, the NEW OWNER of Jog My Dog! Dog lover, plant mama, horse rider, nature lover, and aunty to 6 babies!

I was 12 when my sister-in-law started Jog My Dog in 2014. Because it was family owned, I started working with dogs from such a young age. Amanda, my sister-in-law (the founder!) always included me in staff training events, promotional events and just around the company in general. I was always happy to hang with puppies, and make $10!! Since then, Jog My Dog has become one of the most trusted pet service companies in Lethbridge!

May 2024 Amanda said to me, "I think I want to sell the company, I can't keep up with my family life, teaching, and the business." As an aspiring entrepreneur, dog lover and #girlboss, I immediately jumped on this opportunity. "how can I buy it from you?" I said within 2 days of her bringing it up.

The most recent 4 years, I lived in Calgary doing Jog My Dog administration remotely, among 2 other jobs, one being teaching makeup artistry! (if you're wondering why I'm all fancy in some instagram videos, that's me just getting creative!)

Since becoming owner in October 2024 I've moved to Lethbridge been running Jog My Dog full-time as well as doing some casual weekend work! I love staying busy, and find such a thrill in incorporating my enthusiastic, spunky Gen Z energy into Jog My Dog. I've also been starting to fall in love with the bonds I create with your dogs and you! From January to May 2025 I was doing all pet services- dog walking, pet sitting, poopscoops and the administration work. It was a huge workload but really gave me the opportunity to perfect all roles involved in Jog My Dog. I have developed a keen understanding of what is needed from dog walkers and pet sitters allowing me to hire the best team members, just like Amanda.

I have a team of 5 lovely women and between all of us, we're sure to meet your fur-babies needs! I do some day to day dog walking and most pet sitting, in my own home. I LOVE being surrounded by dogs and hire the most enthusiastic pet lovers in Lethbridge, whose core values align with mine. At Jog My Dog, we believe dogs are babies. We don't just sell pet services. We also sell a community of pet lovers, fun, fantastical dog-centred events, and a personable, stream-lined booking process. We believe in positive reinforcement, open communication, integrity, trust, kindness, and care; And putting emojis in "professional" emails!

I'm very excited to get to know you and continue in my sister-in-laws footsteps :)
