Bruce’s Dog Walking, About Me
I provide a high-quality dog walking service, serving the communities of Watersound Origins, Nature Walk Origins, Rosemary Beach, and Inlet Beach.
I have deep roots in the area, having lived here for over 12 years and I am actively involved in the Watersound community. I am the chair of the Homeowners Association (HOA) Common Area Committee, which brings a unique insight to the community.
My passion for dog walking stems from my personal experience as a dog owner. After losing my beloved pet of 13 years, I wanted to reconnect with the local dog community.
As a retired architect, I have found dog walking to be a fulfilling way to continue my connection with my dog friends.
I believe in positive reinforcement and use only humane methods with every dog.
For your peace of mind, I am fully licensed and insured.
