Dogs make our lives more complete

I believe that dogs make our lives better and more fulfilled. We feel that a house seems empty without a dog. My wife and I have owned dogs for 30 years and are wonderful with our dogs. We take excellent care of our dogs and walk our them at least once each day and twice on most days. Because we are good with dogs our neighbors have us take care of their dogs on occasion when they are out of town. To help dogs without homes I work one afternoon a week walking dogs at the NM Animal Association. I find this rewarding and am glad to give something back to dogs for all the love and companionship they have given to me during my life.

Sally is much calmer after her walks with Bill. Great exercise for her. Thanks, Bill.

Bill did a great job with Luna between walks, playing with toys, and sending me consistent photo updates of her.

Bill was great to work with! Super responsive on short notice and worked with my schedule. Would love to have him walk my dog anytime!

Dog Walking • Feb 11, 2026

Bill did a wonderful job walking Callie every day. She usually doesn’t just go off with somebody new that she’s never met. But she really liked Bill from the start. The whole week went very well. Bill is a very kind man with a warm heart toward animals. I will definitely use him again when I need somebody to watch Callie or to walk her.

Bill is amazing! My dog has a great time with him, his wife and dog. Your dog is in great hands if you get to work with Bill!

A typical day

A typical day starts with a walk in the morning of 30-60 minutes and ends with a walk in the evening of 30-60 minutes. I play with dogs in our fenced yard throwing a ball, playing tug of war or chasing each other around the yard.
