  • Founder

    My journey began with a simple yet profound love for the great outdoors of Maine.


    Recognizing the importance of quality outdoor time for our dogs, I set out on a mission to create opportunities for them to experience the beauty and adventure that Maine has to offer.


    Timberline Treks was forged from this desire — a passion that merges my love for nature with ensuring the well-being and happiness of my own two, Kit and Goose.

    As a Maine Guide, I am excited to work with you and your dog. I look forward to seeing you on the trail!

At Timberline Treks, our mission is to offer our community safe, enriching canine exercise programming that stimulates both mind and body. We are dedicated to expanding your dog’s horizons through expertly guided off-leash pack excursions throughout Maine’s stunning natural landscapes. Additionally, through our Timberline On-Ramp program, we empower dog owners to build stronger relationships with their dogs—equipping you with the skills and confidence to safely explore the wilderness together. Our commitment is to foster meaningful connections between you and your dog, enhancing well-being and joy through shared outdoor adventures.

    Raised In Maine, Jesse embodies all that is Timberline. I don't believe there isn't anything he can't do, as you get to know him through your dog's training journey, you'll see for yourself!

    When Jesse isn't chasing Sam on the trails for photo ops, he's running reps with our new pack members to get them ready for the big peaks.

    Be sure to check out Envolez and enjoy the memories he captures behind his lens.
