Originally from the United Kingdom, I moved to Denver in April 2019 to take advantage of all the mountain activities that Colorado has to offer! I’ve always loved the outdoors and spent a lot of my time growing up hiking and skiing in the Alps. Traveling has always been a passion of mine and I’ve been lucky enough to have many adventures overseas. Some highlights include hiking in Peru (my first dose of altitude sickness!), backpacking in Kashmir, and scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef. I grew up in a household full of dogs and cats and have always had a special love of animals. Before moving to Colorado I would have (controversially) considered myself more of a cat person, but working at Hike Doggie has definitely evened things out. Just don’t tell my cats, Cornelius and Detective Mittens, that!!

I grew up on the East Coast and moved to CO in 2015, a few months after I turned 18. I played soccer through college, but have since gave it up!

I have spent years traveling the West in my van with my dog, Bella, and my cat, Cosmo. Cosmo and Bella both love hiking, camping, backpacking, swimming, and just being outside! I’m also a plant mom and have over 30 different plants, mostly cactus and succulents.

I love hiking & working with dogs. I feel so thankful to have joined the Hike Doggie Team. When I’m not hiking, you’ll find me snowboarding, skateboarding, rock climbing, or traveling. I also love reading, writing, photography, and painting!! 

I plan on eventually opening my own shelter and boarding service for dogs, cats, and horses. I’m going to live on a farm full of animals!

I am a mom to 3 boys (17, 19, and 21 years old) and a third generation Colorado native. My love of dogs runs deep as I am a long time Denver Animal Shelter and local rescue volunteer. Our family has fostered 50+ dogs, puppies and kittens (I only foster failed and adopted 5 so far!). 

Hiking with the dogs is a great escape for me especially since my family has yet to fully embrace the hiking spirit. I am also a huge Broadway Musical fan. I often play show tunes for the dogs on my hikes, though few have chosen to sing along with me! 

I am from Bucks County, PA and moved to Colorado in 2018, about 2 years after I finished college in Charleston, SC. Soon after moving here, I found my very best friend, Stella (and later on my 2nd best friend George) and we have been adventuring around Colorado and the surrounding West ever since! I love being outdoors, traveling, and seeing all kinds of live music! My favorite place that I have traveled to is Bali and I have been to Red Rocks over 30 times for concerts since moving here. I have always had dogs growing up and spent many summers volunteering at the shelter or local farms to be able to work with dogs and horses. I am so grateful that I get to work with animals every day at Hike Doggie!

East coast girl born and raised! I am originally from Fairfax, Virginia but spent much of my childhood soaking up the sun on sandy beaches any chance I got. I rescued my soul dog, Bello, in Norfolk, Virginia, who then led me to meet my now fiancé. After my fiancé received military orders to be stationed in Colorado, I traded in those sandy beaches for the majestic mountain peaks, and it’s been an amazing adventure ever since!

Shortly after arriving in Colorado, I stumbled upon Hike Doggie during our second day of exploration. This amazing company not only allowed me to explore the breathtaking trails Colorado has to offer, but also spend the day surrounded by dogs – uhhh what!? Talk about a dream come true!!

I’m a transplant, originally from Buffalo, New York – Go Bills! I lived all over the east coast until my wife and I moved to Colorado a few years ago. I prefer to spend my weekends miles back in the woods playing with my two pups, Mac & Cheese!

Working with the Hike Doggie team really is a dream come true…There’s nothing better than getting to spend your day outside with a bunch of awesome pups! When I’m not working you’ll most likely find me snowboarding, in a tent or trying my best to catch a fish! (doesn’t happen very often!)

 I am originally from North Texas and lived there until I went to school in College Station Texas, for veterinary medicine. Once I visited Colorado, I was sold! Growing up, my parents and I would come and visit family in Colorado. I would always question, “why aren’t we here too?”. After finally being able to move to Colorado, I found myself in need of a job! With a background in vet med and working with animals my whole life, I was so excited when I found Hike Doggie! I couldn’t think of a better place for me to be, out in the beautiful mountains of Colorado and being with amazing pups everyday! I haven’t looked back since, my dogs Ezra and Bella haven’t either! We are all so happy to be a part of the Hike Doggie family! 🙂 

I was born and raised in Ohio, and moved to Denver shortly after graduating in May of 2023! I earned my degree in Evolution, Ecology, and Organismal Biology from the Ohio State University- go Bucks! When I’m not out on the trails, I’m either watching my favorite sports teams or planning my next trip! Sports and traveling have always been my favorite hobbies. I grew up playing so many sports, but basketball was my favorite. As for traveling, I’ve traveled all around the U.S. and have been lucky enough to visit places outside of the U.S., like Ireland and Costa Rica! I’ve always loved animals, especially dogs, so having the opportunity to work for Hike Doggie has been such an amazing experience and I’m very grateful!
