MY STORY

For as long as I can remember, I’ve been surrounded by animals. I grew up with family dogs and cats who were always a part of daily life, and my love of dogs began with our family dog, Snuffy — a sweet black Lab who always seemed to know when I needed her most. Those early bonds taught me how deeply meaningful the connection between people and pets can be.

The day I adopted my own dog, Ace, was when my journey truly began. Ace was full of love and excitement, but he also needed a lot of guidance and encouragement to gain confidence and face the world without fear. Helping him grow taught me patience, problem-solving, and just how rewarding it is to make a difference in a pet’s life.

That experience inspired me to take my skills and passion and dedicate them fully to caring for pets and supporting their families, which is how Hawk’s Walks was born. I’m CPR and Pet First Aid certified and carry full insurance, giving you peace of mind that your pets are safe and cared for.

Whether it’s a quick drop-in visit, a walk filled with sniffing adventures, or an overnight house sit, my goal is to provide care that’s reliable, compassionate, and tailored to each pet. I’m also committed to continually expanding my knowledge of animal behavior and care, with the long-term goal of becoming a certified dog trainer. This ongoing learning ensures that the pets I work with benefit from the best practices and a deeper understanding of their needs.
