At Hike Doggie, we believe every dog deserves adventure, fresh air, and a life filled with joy. But our journey didn’t start with a big blue bus rolling through the Rockies—it began with a simple idea and a deep love for dogs.
Hike Doggie was born from a passion for giving dogs the adventure they crave and the happiness they deserve. It all started with our founder, Kath, who realized the power of nature in making dogs not just physically healthier, but emotionally happier too. Coming from a life of corporate sales, she knew she was meant for something bigger. The idea was simple: to create a service that takes dogs on real adventures when their parents can’t. No more boring dog walks around the block—this was about mountain trails, streams to splash in, and endless opportunities for sniffing and exploring.
From that first hike, we’ve built a community of dog owners who see their pups as more than pets—they’re family. And just like family, we want them to experience all the joys life has to offer.

After seeing the happiness that our hikes bring to dogs and their parents, we knew this idea was something special. But we didn’t want to stop with just one location. We wanted to spread this joy to dog lovers everywhere. That’s why we’re expanding through franchising.
Our vision for Hike Doggie franchising is simple: We want to build a community of compassionate dog lovers across the country who can take part in this exciting business model. Each franchisee will have the opportunity to run their own Hike Doggie, bringing the adventure, happiness, and health benefits of our hikes to dogs in their area. This isn’t just about growing a business—it’s about spreading the love, one hike at a time.
For dog lovers looking for a business with heart, Hike Doggie offers a unique opportunity. Not only do you get to run a fulfilling business that makes dogs’ tails wag, but you also join a supportive pack of franchisees dedicated to making a difference in dogs’ lives. With full training, ongoing support, and the chance to offer something truly meaningful to your community, franchising with Hike Doggie means joining a family as much as it means running a business.
Whether you’re a dog parent looking for the perfect adventure for your pup, or an aspiring business owner with a passion for dogs, Hike Doggie has a place for you. Follow our journey, and let’s make more dogs as happy as they make us.
All Hike Doggies must meet the following requirements to ensure all our doggies remain safe and have an awesome hike:
If your doggie does not meet these requirements, we recommend neutering/spaying (if you are not planning on breeding your cutie) & do targeted training in any area where he/she may need some help so they can enjoy an enriched lifestyle full of outdoor fun with friends!
