Working with Hiking Hounds lets me combine my passion for animals with the outdoors, and I love helping pups stay active, happy, and healthy on every adventure!

I absolutely adore hiking with the dogs in the mountains!!!
​
​I recently got back to the US after serving overseas, and there is nothing better than spending days with four legged friends up in the beautiful hills.

I also have 100 pound Shiloh Shepherd named Sparrow. He’s my copilot and squad leader — he thinks this is the best job I’ve ever had! ​
