Retired, Reliable, and Enjoy Dogs.

Hello! I'm Bert, a newly retired dog lover with over 50 years of experience caring for dogs. Having recently stepped away from a long and rewarding career, I'm now dedicating my time to one of my passions—spending time with dogs. For 12 wonderful years, my loyal companion Buster, a spirited Goldendoodle, was by my side, enriching my life with his joyful presence. My experience with dogs spans decades and includes puppies, older dogs, and everything in between. I haven’t met a dog that I didn’t get along with or that didn’t enjoy my company. I pride myself on being reliable and trustworthy. Whether your furry friend needs a walk, some playtime, or just a companion to relax with, I'm here to help. I enjoy being outdoors and staying active, making me the perfect fit for your dog's exercise needs. If you're looking for a dependable, experienced, and dog-loving walker, I'm here to provide top-notch care and companionship for your pet. Let's make sure your dog is happy, healthy, and loved!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is my priority both inside the client's home and outside. I am willing to follow all owner instructions as I know each dog has its own preferences and needs. If you are training your dog, just let me know your routine and I'll execute!

Bert is amazing. Mosby immediately warmed up to him and loves when he shows up to walk him. Trustworthy and great at communicating while I’m away. Trust him and will use again.
