Experience

I've always been drawn to animals of all kinds. My career started with my local animal shelter and I quickly realized this was the work I was meant to do. I spent my career exploring unique opportunities to further my skillset to help animals in need. With the experience and knowledge I gained throughout my career, I created Slinger Dog Walker to offer professional pet care services to my neighbors.

Canine Behavior Enthusiast

Over my career, I studied canine behavior and training through mentorships, hands-on applications in high-volume companion animal operations, and Fear Free certifications.

Varied Species Experience

I have extensive experience handling a variety of different creatures. I welcome species of all kinds, including, but not limited to: dogs, cats, goats, horses, lizards, rabbits, chickens, and beyond! (Nothing illegal, please!)

Experienced Hiker

In my spare time, I enjoy traveling and hiking with my hounds to experience new landscapes, wildlife, weather, and terrain.
