Tanya Dzera
Tanya co-founded Happy Go Lucky Pet Club to combine her lifelong love of animals with her passion for the outdoors. Growing up surrounded by pets, she always felt a deep connection to both animals and nature. Her passion continued to grow across three seasons of tree planting in Northern Ontario, where she planted 200,000 trees.
In 2019, Tanya began working as a professional dog walker and immediately fell in love with the job. It was the perfect way to bring together her passions while living in the city. During the pandemic Tanya and her long-time friend Tessa, who she met while studying at Western University, founded Happy Go Lucky!
Tanya now lives in Etobicoke with her two cats, Lucky and Artemis. And yes - Happy Go Lucky was named after Lucky!
"I adore all animals and it has always been my dream to work with animals!
I know how hard it is to be away from your pets so I want to make sure both you and your pet feel as comfortable and happy as possible!" - Tanya

Hello, my name is Brittney Rose Potter. I grew up in Orangeville, a small town north of Brampton. I have been babysitting and walking dogs since I was 13. I had a family dog named Charlie who was a Jack Russell Terrier. He lived to 14 years old. I was also a manager at pet value for three years and worked in a vet clinic as a vet assistant. I've always loved working with animals and care for them as if they are family members.

Hi! I’m Sprague. I’m an actress and a mom. I’ve also been a pet parent to large and small dogs for twenty years and we recently welcomed a kitten to our pack.
My family and I moved to Toronto a few years ago, and right away I fell in love with exploring the city on foot. I’m thrilled to have a job combining my passion for animals with my love of walking, and am so excited to get to know each dog’s unique personality and making sure they have safe, fun, and fulfilling walks and care.
