Timberline Team

  • 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!

The Timberline Ethos

At Timberline Treks, we believe a dog’s world should be as boundless as Maine’s landscapes. Our mission is to provide safe, enriching, and structured canine exercise programs that nurture both body and mind. Through guided off-leash pack excursions, we invite dogs to expand their horizons, building confidence and joy while immersed in the wild beauty of our state.

Our Timberline On-Ramp program empowers owners to strengthen their bond with their dogs, equipping both with the skills and trust to explore together responsibly. We are committed to fostering meaningful connections—between dogs and their people, and between our community and the land we share.

Rooted in respect for nature, canine well-being, and the people who love them, Timberline Treks stands for more than just dog walking: we stand for adventure, stewardship, and the lasting joy that comes from exploring side by side.

    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.
