I've always had a love for dogs and years of experience caring for them, from daily walks to training and play.

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!

Howdy! I am an outdoor lover! Hiking, camping, backpacking, climbing, rafting, you name it, I want to do it! Obviously I love dogs, I've been working with them for over 11 years now and I just can't get enough!

I lost my Newfie at the very end of 2025 and just adopted a 5 month old shepherd mix at the beginning of August 2026. Life is so much sweeter with the pets you love.

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! ​
