Meet the Pack Leaders: Franchise Owners Phoenix & Gary

Hike Doggie Denver East is proudly locally owned by Phoenix O’Hara & Gary Schwartz, passionate dog lovers and longtime Hike Doggie superfans. Their journey with us started over six years ago as loyal clients with their sweet boy Beauregard. Phoenix’s own perfect boy, Creasy also spent time with the Hike Doggie pack. And now, their newest recruit—Santino, a Hiker-in-the-making with puppy energy and big mountain dreams.

From the moment their first pup climbed aboard the Hike Doggie bus, Phoenix and Gary knew they’d found something special. That deep love for the brand (and firsthand experience as clients!) inspired them to bring this experience to even more dogs and dog parents in Aurora.

Phoenix actually launched her first pet walking business when she was just eight years old—complete with hand-made yellow business cards—and now, she and Gary are living their dream as Hike Doggie franchise owners, delivering outdoor joy to Colorado’s four-legged adventurers.

What Makes Hike Doggie So Special?

• Guided hikes tailored to each dog’s energy level, whether mellow or fetch-obsessed
• Door‑to‑door pick-up and drop-off in their cozy, custom “Big Blue Bus” with heating, A/C, and individual Zen Dens
• Small group hikes capped at 12 doggies per trip, with four dogs per hiker, grouped by pace and temperament
• Post-hike pampering: an on-board shower for trail rinses, towel dry, KONG treats, Apple Freezies in the summer and beef soup in the winter, and a curated photo & story update for pet parents
• A business model with recurring weekly scheduling for loyal, happy clients
