Glacier Trail in Wyoming

Favorite Activity:

Skiing

Fun Personal Fact:

I’ve lived on four different continents.

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!!

Fun Personal Fact:
I once won a chicken wing eating competition.

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!)

Fun Personal Fact:
I’m obsessed with street art and will travel great lengths to find the best in any city.

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!

Fun Personal Fact:
I ADORE birds. I’m in my grandma era with watching them, painting them, and making sure they are well fed outside my window!

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 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! 🙂

Fun Personal Fact:
I know how to solve four different types of Rubik’s cubes!

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!

Favorite Activity:

Fun Personal Fact:
I once wrote a short memoir from the perspective of my family dog.

I moved from Philly to Colorado with my husband, Steve and my dog (aka my baby boy) Marcus in 2023 after traveling the country and falling in love with the Rocky Mountains in the dead of winter. I’ve always been a searcher, looking for purpose and joy in creating art, learning new things, getting out in nature and seeing the world. 

After bouncing around from job to job, I finally found my dream vocation. Professional dog hiker at Hike Doggie! I am so grateful to be able to wake up every day with a big smile on my face because I get to soak up the beauty of Colorado with my favorite angels on earth… all of the puppers! I fully embrace the motto of “dogs as happy as they make us” and do my best to return the giant ray of sunshine that these pups warm my heart with each and every day!

Fun Personal Fact:
I’m teaching myself how to brew beer

I was born and raised in New Jersey, where I studied music with a focus on classical trumpet at William Paterson University. I’ve always been a huge outdoors lover and spent many happy hours hiking and backpacking in New Jersey and upstate New York. That passion eventually brought me to Colorado in 2019, chasing bigger adventures in the Rockies. I’m so grateful I made the move, because that’s where I met my wonderful wife, Amanda. Together we share our home with three adorable cats Penelope, Phoebe, and Pepper and our sweet dog Remmy, who completes our little family.

I’ve always dreamed of getting paid to hike, and working at Hike Doggie has made that dream come true in the best way possible. I’ve loved dogs my whole life, and every day I get to spend time with the silliest pups on the trails. There’s nothing better than breathing in that fresh mountain air while hiking the dogs, watching their tails wag and seeing them light up as they take in all the sights and smells around them. It’s the perfect combination of nature, furry friends, and good company. Honestly, I couldn’t ask for a better way to spend my days!

Favorite Dog Breed:
Mutts are the best, but Bernese and Swiss Mountain dogs are a close 2nd! 

Favorite Hiking Trail:
I love hiking at Three Sisters because I have memories of my sisters and I hiking there when we were very young.  

Favorite Activity:
I love paddle boarding and cooking! I keep my paddle board in the trunk of my car just in case it’s a nice day and I have an itch for an adventure.   

Fun Personal Fact:
I love gardening! In the summer of 2025 I taught a sustainable agricultural internship program where I taught while taking care of a garden, greenhouse, orchard, vineyard, and 70 sheep. 

I am a Denver native that grew up navigating the same trails we explore with Hike Doggie. I headed to the University of Missouri for school and earned a degree in Agricultural Communications, with a special passion for sustainable food systems. I love playing card games with my family and friends, cooking new foods, and spending time with my cat, Bosley, who is larger than some of the dogs we hike (while he could stand to lose a few pounds, he is part Maine Coon, so he’s just a big boy)! I’m thrilled to be back in Colorado and can’t believe I get to work with dogs in the mountains every day! 

I had just moved back to Colorado when I saw the big blue bus on the roads. I thought ‘Hiking for work… with dogs?! Sign me up!!’ Not only does Hike Doggie have the most supportive, fun team, it’s also extremely rewarding. I get to exercise, meet tons of dogs, and feel so proud when one of my dogs passes out immediately post-hike. I love sending a happy, tired doggie home!

Fun Personal Fact:
I sang with Pride Chorus Houston and hope to join Denver Feminist Choir

I am a “flat-lander” born and raised in Iowa who visited Colorado at 17 and immediately knew I belonged here. Even as a little girl in Iowa, my favorite things were climbing on rocks and hanging out with dogs, so I guess Colorado was always my destiny. After dreaming about the move for years, I finally made it here in November 2025 with my husband Tyler and our Border Collie, Hippie.

My husband and I have traveled all over the US with Hippie and his late brother Kiko, from mountaintop frisbee sessions to beach wrestling matches. I also competed in agility with Hippie, earning “Excellent” titles in both Standard and Jumpers.  And now, after 25 years in finance, I finally traded spreadsheets for trailheads and now get to spend my days hiking dogs in the beautiful foothills of Colorado!

I still can’t believe this is real life, hiking the foothills with gorgeous dogs and mountain views!

I used to play the tambourine in my family band 🤣

I was born in Tucson, Arizona, and am the proud momma of a beautiful cat named Alma Blue and a handsome little Russian Tortoise named Guillermo. I went to school for Special Education and Recreational Therapy. When I’m not out biking, hiking, or walking my tortoise, you can find me reading with a cup of coffee or building the newest Star Wars Lego set. Being an animal and nature lover my whole life, I feel so honored to work at Hike Doggie; getting to spend the day with my incredible furry friends out in the mountains. Life doesn’t get any better than that!

Favorite Activity:

Fun Personal Fact:
I try to find humor everywhere, which sometimes gets me into trouble!

Bio Blurb:
Born and raised in Colorado, after earning my Master of Science I spent twenty years in Tech and decided I’d done that enough. I’m a mountain resident who stays in the hills as much as possible, sharing a home with two spirited Chihuahuas and one spirited spouse. I’ve always been an investigator of the “why” of things. And, as a lifelong technologist, I enjoy the pursuit of refining and optimizing technology in my spare time. When we aren’t at home by the fireplace with the pups, we’re usually traveling, dining out, or spending time with family down the hill.

Why I love Hike Doggie:
I’ve spent a lifetime hiking with my own dogs, so the transition to doing it professionally felt like a natural fit. I love the Greats of Hike Doggie: great people, great pups, and a great company. There is something satisfying about watching doggies find their rhythm and seeing that burst of pure, unbridled dog joy on the trail, under the trees, at times amidst the glistening snow. Being part of the Hike Doggie pack allows me to trade a screen for the scenery, and there’s truly no better way to spend a day than in the Colorado outdoors with a pack of happy dogs.

Favorite Hiking Trail:

Favorite Activity:
First and foremost, spending as much time as possible outside. I also love reading, painting, and cooking!

Fun Personal Fact:
I’m pretty sure more dogs recognize me than people 😂

I’m originally from Colorado and feel happiest anywhere outside, whether that’s hiking, snowboarding, camping, or just reading at the park. I’ve always been a huge animal lover and genuinely adore all kinds of dogs, especially goofy super mutts with big personalities. One of my favorite things is getting to learn each dog’s quirks, zoomie style, and trail personality. My friends and family would definitely say my life revolves around dogs… and honestly they’d be correct. 

Working for Hike Doggie truly feels like the perfect combination of everything I love most: dogs, adventure, nature, and making pups happy. I also have the best co-workers ever! There’s nothing better than watching the dogs explode with excitement when the bus pulls up, spending the day exploring the trails together, and then hearing them snooze their way home knowing they had the best day ever. I love building bonds with all the doggies and getting to watch their personalities shine out on the trails.

I have lived in and explored Colorado my whole life, and never cease to be amazed by the beauty of this state. After working as a pet groomer for 7 years, I decided it was time for a change and am so happy I found Hike Doggie! I love being a part of dogs’ best days, especially while doing something I love so much. You can find me on my bike hitting all the gravel trails or just cruising around the city in search of the best coffee shops and thrift stores on my days off. I get to come home to my soul kitty, Daisy Mae, who I have had the pleasure of loving since I was 12 years old! I am an animal lover through and through and am so grateful to have a job where I get to love on such special parts of our lives. our pets!
