A phone with a working camera and GPS is essential to provide the highest quality of service that bwd is known for.

Calm and Collected
Dogs respond well to calm leadership. The walkers who succeed with bwd are level headed, calm, collected, and know how to multitask.
Meet the HR Manager
“It is with great pleasure that I work at bwd as the Human Resources Manager, and I look forward to speaking with each of you! Please apply with a relevant cover letter –even something as simple as telling us why you’d like to work here with us is appreciated– and your updated resume.
Having come from a background in small business myself, working for bwd’s female owned and operated Team has been a delight. A workplace where I can be heard, and a workplace where I can ensure each of our awesome staff can be too. Being able to nurture, maintain, and build upon an already great work culture is where I feel at home. ”
