Dog Hiker
I understand that dogs aren’t “just pets” — they’re family. With that said, it takes courage to leave your dog in someone else’s hands. I don’t take that lightly. I’m deeply attentive to behavior, energy shifts, and individual needs. Your dog’s emotional and physical well-being will always be my priority, and I treat them with the same care and protection I give my own.
I was drawn to Active Dog because it values structure, movement, and meaningful engagement — not just exercise, but connection. Much like my previous experience working with animals and spending time hiking, I’ve seen how dogs truly thrive when they feel safe, guided, and fulfilled. I love being part of an environment that supports that kind of growth.
Favorite season to hike in?
Fall. The crisp air and quiet trails make it the perfect time for long, peaceful walks.
Do you have any pets of your own?
Yes, I have an 11-year-old Wheaten Terrier who has taught me so much about patience, resilience, and unconditional love.
Here’s a look at what’s happening on our nature hikes. We post photos and videos for every hike.
