FINN

'Bruce looked after our golden retriever and cats for 5 days and we couldn't have been happier with his service. We got emails with attached pictures after every visit and posts on his Facebook Page with pictures and updates of all the puppies on their walks.  

It was very comforting to see what our animals had been up to and how happy they looked. We will definitely be using him again and have no hesitation in recommending him to others.'

FIDDY

“As a lot of us are,  I might be a little over protective when it come to my puppy. I have a 1 year old Cavoodle and spend too much time at work. I found dog walkers Melbourne online and Bruce came to see me. He made me feel completely confident in the walking and socialization programme.

I started with my puppy on the leash and was abetment that I would always have him walked on the leash. Through consistent reporting and communication Bruce gave me the confidence to have him walked off the leash and with the pack. This transformed my Puppy and he became so much happier and I became a less worried puppy parent.

I would sincerely recommend this service to anyone. Completely safe and professional at all times. A massive thank you Bruce!

Bilbo & Daisy

We have just returned back from a 10 day vacation during which time we enlisted Bruce to come past and walk and feed our two dogs. The morning walk with the 'pack' was a fantastic opportunity for our one year old Cavoodle Daisy to socialise with other dogs and burn off some excess energy, while our ten year old pug Bilbo was happy to join in the fun. The afternoon stroll around the block before dinner gave the dogs a great end to their day. 

We were able to enjoy our holiday so much more knowing that our dogs were getting out and about and well taken care of. This was reinforced with the daily photos of our dogs romping around with the pack. Since our return, Bruce has been a great source of advice for how to deal with Daisy's excess energy and maintain her ability to socialise with other dogs. We would not hesitate to enlist Bruce's services again or recommend him to family and friends.

Cookie & Bentley

“Wanted to say thanks to Bruce for looking after our 2 older dogs while we went away for a long weekend. Normally we take them with us but on this trip it was not an option. Having recently moved to Melbourne from Sydney we were reluctant to put the dogs in a kennel, even though we did look at some. The ability for the dogs to stay in their own home, be fed and walked each day was great. Add to that the comfort of receiving daily updates meant that we could relax while away.

I would happily recommend the service Bruce provides as an option to dog kennels.”

COCO

With my leg in Plaster I needed to find a dog walking service for my much loved dog Coco. Through recommendations I contacted Bruce and after meeting with him and his lovely dog Archie made arrangements for some temporary dog walks.

Coco loves her walks with Bruce and socialising with the rest of the group. The photos posted by Bruce after each walk show them all having a great doggie time.

Our temporary arrangement quickly turned permanent and Coco and myself have no hesitation in highly recommending Bruce's responsible, reliable, safe and caring service.

CHOPS

Bruce has been walking our Jack Russell for a few months now. Our dog had anxiety and socialisation problems. Bruce knows his stuff, and has helped tremendously with our dog's confidence levels and anxiety issues, and the walks twice a week amongst a pack are now things our dog looks forward to.

BLITZ

Blitz has been in the capable hands of Bruce for 2 years now enjoying regular walks and even a swim now and then. Two years ago blitz suffered anxiety and would not settle if I left him for long periods. He would destroy things around the yard and try and find a way of getting out.

I decided to go with a dog walker and found Bruce, from the time blitz first met Bruce his behaviour started to change and he became a very settled dog so much so that I went back to work. Blitz just sleeps and lays out in the sun but he knows when its walking days with Bruce he senses it and becomes excited and waits at the closed gate looking out waiting to hear bruce's car pull up. As soon as they meet, blitz gets so excited he can’t wait to get in that car and go.

Blitz is so happy and contented these days and has interacted with all dogs he meets on his outings it’s amazing to watch I can’t thank Bruce enough for his commitment to blitz and his general knowledge about dogs is fantastic. For myself I’m glad blitz gets regular exercise and its peace of mind for me not having  to worry about him.

BISCUIT

We have now used Bruce to look after our energetic Jack Russell 'Biscuit' on two occasions while we were away. He came and walked Biscuit, played with him in our back yard, fed/watered him and collected our mail.

We have found him genuinely enthusiastic and interested in his work. His daily reports are particularly fun and informative complete with pictures and updates regarding Biscuit's mood and interactions with Archie,Bruce's dog. We would definitely recommend his service.

BEN

We have seen a remarkable difference in our dog's behaviour since using the services of Dog Walker's Melbourne.

We particularly enjoy the progress updates & photos emailed to us after every walk..Very professional & Highly recommended.

Archie cat

When I went overseas for 2 weeks, I needed someone reliable to look after my cat Archie. Bruce went above and beyond my expectations, really spending time to play with Archie and emailing me photos and status reports each day. It's great to see someone who is truly passionate towards their work and that Bruce really cares for Archie like he was his own.

I recommend Bruce to anyone who needs their dog or cat cared for. Archie is still enjoying his packet of (Healthy Dog Treats available on this site) treats and can't get enough of them!

AMY

"Bruce has walked Amy since she was a puppy. As a puppy, Amy used to suffer from anxiety when she was alone at home, didn't enjoy going for walks and she was afraid to socialise with other dogs. With the help of Bruce and his pack, Amy can't wait for her long morning walks so she play with her friends but also exercise her body and learn to interact with other dogs. Because of Bruce and his pack, Amy is more confident around other dogs and completely relax when she is alone at home.

Bruce has also great articles on his website that help you improve your dog's diet and life style - Amy's coat and skin has improved after I changed her diet. I strongly recommend Bruce because he truly cares about his pack and enjoys his work."

OTTO

Since Bruce started taking Otto out on walks with his pack he has turned from a timid dog into one that relishes the company of other dogs and puppies - he's always been a very happy and playful dog but previously didn't have the confidence around other dogs.

Moreover, it's great to know that Otto is being looked after and exercised during the day given how busy my wife and I often are with work.

OLLIE

" Just wanted to say a big thank you for your services over the last few months. Ollie has thoroughly enjoyed every walk, and I've always enjoyed coming home to an incredibly tired pup!  Your walks have been integral to Ollie's socialisation and as a result, her behaviour has improved. Not to mention your amazing healthy and cheap dog treats!! Thanks again Bruce, you are a life saver! Would highly recommend you to anyone looking for a dog walker, pet sitting and cheap, healthy treats!! "
