Working Walks, K-9 Care, LLCLicenced, Bonded and Insured
Welcome to Working Walks, K-9 Care, LLC
Consider how often you get to use the restroom during the day, while you are out. Is it fair that your pet(s) aren't given the opportunity to relieve themselves? It isn't healthy for you or your pet(s) to have to hold it! Also consider, what if you had to spend 8-14 hours a day (5 days a week) with no stimulation or interaction with anyone? Let us fix that for you!!
It frustrates me to see dog walkers not paying attention to what they are doing, they are texting,talking on their phones or have their iPod in their ears. They aren't DOING their job,properly. They need to pay attention to the dogs attitude and their surroundings, to prevent any unwanted behaviors or any pending dangers/hazards which may lay around every corner (a car
backing out of the driveway, a loose unknown animal, etc.).
As a company we will never over/double book clients who haven't both agrees to simultaneous walks. All walkers hired have passed an emergency first aid and the K-9 behavioral courses provided by NAPPS and the American Red Cross. All walkers carry an emergency first aid kit in their cars and kept handy. We take pride in letting you know of any potential health or behavioral issues that could lead to future problems, and send you pictures (if possible). Your pets are part of our family and we want to see them live a happy and healthy life.
Thank you for choosing Working Walks, K-9 Care, LLC for your pet care. You can be assured your pet will receive all the love and care, in your absence.

I have two dogs, and have had to have a walker come for a mid-day walk (working 8+hrs a day). I took some time off to see my walker in action, I was shocked. I was paying for 20-30min., but I was only getting 5. That's ridiculous, but they were one of the lowest priced "pet care" companies around. I guess you DO get what you pay for.
My name is David
Brummersted ("Uncle Dave", as I am called by my customers). Throughout my career, I have not found the satisfaction that I have found working with animals.
Some years back, I had a TIA (a mini stroke). My doctor advised me to reduce my stress level and get more exercise. I thought of my dogs at home, and paying for a walker to come every day. WOW, what a great way to do something that I really love, reduce my stress and get exercise! And, I knew that I could do better than what I was getting from my former walker.
So, I started doing research on animals to better understand their behaviors, their needs, how they think and perceive things, and how to better train them. I am continually striving to increase my knowledge about how to better care for the animals so that I can enhance our relationships with them and my own personal satisfaction in knowing that they are having a happy and healthy life. They are like my children and they deserve the best!
In my time working with dogs (including my own); I have
rehabilitated an abused Pit mix who feared every thing, a dog who had
to be confined to a bed room (he would be aggressive to all who
entered), and currently working with a few others with leash pulling
issues and aggression towards other dogs (fear based/dominance). Not
to mention the dogs with health issues, like
blindness and hip dysplasia.
