About Shannon

My entire life revolved around animals.

Growing up, my first job, at the age of 10, was walking my neighbor’s dogs. I had so much fun taking them out with my pup, Blaze.

By 16, I got an after-school job at the local pet store. During that time, I learned more about the care and love between animals and humans.

I started working on a horse farm around the age of 17. I handled that position alongside my other job at the pet store.

Once I arrived in Los Angeles, I naturally gravitated toward working with animals. I never started my own business, but I had the desire and the energy to do it. So, I put an ad for a Dog Walker. Little did I know how this decision would change my life.

As the years passed, I gained more and more experience. Eventually, I found a trainer to apprentice with, which led me to go through the ABC Dog Training school.

On the business side, I expanded and hired other walkers. Together, we grew the company, enjoying the beautiful gift of working with animals.

Fast forward to today. I’m married with two beautiful children and couldn’t be more thankful and in awe of my life. I’ve come far from that day in my tiny apartment with my laptop, thinking, ” here we go,” as I placed my first ad.
