The Founder
My name is Hunter Lowery
As a native of Sacramento, California, I grew up surrounded by animals, developing a deep appreciation for the special bond between pets and their owners. During my teenage years, I turned this passion into a small pet-sitting and dog-walking business within my community. After earning my Master’s in Business from Pepperdine University, I set out to combine my passion for animals with my business expertise, which ultimately led to the creation of Skoot.
The idea for Skoot was inspired by my own experience of being separated from my pet while working in San Francisco. Existing transportation options were expensive and inconvenient, revealing a need for a more accessible and dependable solution. In response, I founded Skoot—a long-distance pet transportation service designed to provide a safe, affordable, and comfortable travel experience for pets, keeping them connected to their families.
With Skoot, my mission is to transform pet transportation by prioritizing safety, comfort, and connection. I strive to provide a service that strengthens the bond between pets and their families, delivering peace of mind and lasting memories. 🚙💙
