OUR PET LOVING TEAM!

Becoming a City Hikes Team Member is a privilege not offered to just anyone. In order to become a City Hikes Team Member, one must first and foremost love animals and be trainable. Even some of the most experienced people still need to be trained to provide excellent service in the way that all City Hikes clients have become accustomed too.

When a City Hikes team member begins they must complete 1 full day of class room training plus 3 days of field training. This gives the team member the ability to read animal body language and learn what to look for when working with a pet as well as hands on experience before beginning to serve pet lovers and their pets. All City Hikes Team members must embrace that this is a service position. We are in service to pet lovers and their pets. The service we provide is a need and must be provided with the highest degree of excellence and love. With all of that said; here is the team:​
