Rytting Kaneryd started her career at Forsby FF in Köping.
After starting the 2014 season with Tyresö FF, making her debut in Damallsvenskan, gaining five appearances out of eight matches played in the league, in June the club announced its withdrawal from the league due to lack of players and economic resources. In July of that same year she therefore decided to accept Älta's proposal by signing a one-and-a-half-year contract and leaving for Elitettan again. In this period, however, she found little space, for her five appearances and a goal in 2014, but only two appearances in the following championship.

In February 2016, Rytting Kaneryd signed a contract with Djurgården. With coach Yvonne Ekroth she made her debut with the new team a few rounds after her arrival in the meeting with Ilves. Later Ekroth gave her full confidence in her, using her as a starter in all 22 matches of the 2016 Damallsvenskan, where she shares with her teammates a middle-ranking championship finished in 6th place. Thanks to her performances during the season, at Fotbollsgalan 2016, Rytting Kaneryd was named "Årets genombrott" (Breakthrough of the year). She stayed with the club Stockholm also the following season, the team's new coach Joel Riddez continues to trust her, using her in 19 championship matches, also finishing 6th in the standings for 2017.

Ahead of the 2018 season Rytting Kaneryd was signed by Rosengård, signing a two-year deal. On the same day the move was completed, she injured her cruciate ligament in a training session with Djurgården, causing her to miss the entire 2018 season. On 1 November 2019 she captured her first career trophy, the 2019 Swedish Championship, and extended her contract for three years. She played both home and away matches against Georgian side Lanchkhuti, scoring a goal in both matches.

However, before the expiry of the terms of the contract, in December 2020 she moved to Kopparbergs/Göteborg. On 28 January 2021, the company's passage under the control of Bollklubben Häcken was announced, thus becoming its women's section and taking over company logo and colors.

Inserted in the squad by the pair of federal coaches Calle Barrling and Anneli Andersen, after having tested her in a couple of friendlies, Rytting Kaneryd played in the tournament in all three matches for the national team in group A of the group stage. It was a 2–0 defeat against North Korea, in the 6–0 victory over Papua New Guinea, where she scored the Swedes' fifth goal, and in a 1–1 draw with Brazil, a national team who, despite finishing the group on equal points, already eliminated them in this phase due to a better goal difference.
