I walked away from a successful long-term corporate career in safety, management, and training to pursue my lifelong passion for dogs, hiking, and nature. Many people have commented that I have a special gift with dogs. Nothing makes me happier than spending my days exploring and playing with dogs in our area’s beautiful parks, beaches and open spaces. I work with clients in Orinda, Moraga, Lafayette, Walnut Creek and Alamo.

I started the first Dog Hiking Meetup Group in the Bay Area Meetup 12 years ago, which allowed me to gain experience on hikes with multiple breeds. I’ve also been an advocate for rescue work for over 20 years. In my practice, my emphasis is always on handling skills, compassion, strong safety ethic, and commitment to dog life enrichment. I have experience with countless breeds and dogs of every size and age. I treat everyone’s dog like he or she is my very own dog. I strive to give your dog the very best day you yourself would give your dog!

Getting Started
I offer a full range of personalized dog services, including hikes, neighborhood walks, puppy and new dog training walks, dog sitting, vet transport, house visits, medication dispensation, nail filing, special extended “Doggy Dream Day” adventures, photo sessions and more.

To get started, we’ll set up an initial consultation to determine the best program for you and your dog. All dogs and families have different requirements and I’m here to provide my guidance and skills to support those needs.
