Hi, I'm Chase and I am the founder of Chasing Trails! I'm a lifelong Clevelander with a passion for animals and the outdoors. I live with my partner Chloe and our many cats on the west side of Cleveland, with close access to places like Lakewood, Rocky River, Westlake, Shaker Heights, Beachwood, and other Northeast Ohio cities.

 

I graduated from Hiram College in 2019 with a BA in Environmental Studies. I have over 15 years of experience working with a mixture of wildlife and domestic animals in a variety of fields, including veterinary clinics, doggie day cares, dog and horse boarding facilities, wildlife conservation centers, and personal clients doing stable hand and various odd jobs–as well as taking care of my own pets!

 

Tragically, in May of 2022, my 1-year-old pup Chef passed away after a hit and run. One of our favorite activities to do together was hiking; he was always full of energy and ready for the next trail. To honor his memory and share the joy of a well-rounded, happy dog... Chasing Trails was born.

​

We're glad you're here!
