DENVER DOG HIKERS TEAM
Eric B
Hey! I’m Eric, originally from Switzerland but moved to Chile when I was 16 and then again to the U.S. about 6 years ago. My wife and I moved here from Asheville, NC, and enjoy exploring all the Front Range has to offer. I love dogs and getting outside and hiking these beautiful mountains. I’ve got a rescue terrier schnauzer mix, but grew up with larger dogs in Chile, and consider all pets family members. Mina, our schnauzer mix in particular, is not only family but the ‘queen bee’ of the household. Recently, I received my multi-engine commercial pilot's license, and am currently studying to get my instructor license to start teaching and gaining more flight hours. This job pairs perfectly with my aviation career and provides me with exercise and restorative time with dogs. I look forward to meeting you and exploring the trails with your pet.

Been living and loving Colorado since 2000, when I came out from New Jersey for college and snowboarding. I'm still riding every winter. I also practice kung fu, dance as often as I can, and volunteer at my kid's school. I love dogs, and most animals, but snakes give me the willies.
I'm excited to get to know and run with your dog. There's no better place to enjoy the outdoors than Denver, and no better way to do it than with a furry friend.
Lisa C
Hi, I originally hail from Connecticut where I grew up playing field hockey and lacrosse. I continued my athletic career in college in Ohio but once I graduated, I moved to a more sunny Colorado and never looked back. Once my team sports days were over, I turned my focus to simply running which eventually led to racing. I have competed in 5ks to marathons and sprint triathlons to an IRONMAN. Since the day I was born, I have always had the privilege of having a black Labrador by my side. Dogs are such special companions and to be able to combine my love of running along with a furry friend is hard to beat. Thank you for entrusting your special canine friend with DDJ. I always look forward to our time together.

Hey Hey! I am Robert, avid hiker, backpacker, and dog lover. I am a sports enthusiast and grew up playing baseball and hockey. I am very passionate about the outdoors and spend as much time as I can surrounded by forests and mountains. Most recently, I spent 3 months traveling and backpacking through British Columbia. I have a hound dog named Peter who loves to hit the trail. We have logged countless miles together and completed several sections of the Colorado Trail. Unfortunately, he is getting a bit older and can't hike as much as he would like. So thank you for sharing your pups with me! I am excited to meet them and exercise together.. I love dogs, and most animals, but snakes give me the willies.

What’s up! I have been out in Denver for over 6 years now where I work primarily as a music producer where I work on Rap, Pop & Electronic production. Now I get to escape the studio and help get your pups some exercise! I am currently training for a 50-mile race and running with your awesome dogs has become the most enjoyable aspect of my training. I look forward to giving you pups a bunch of love and a great workout!
Cameron C
Hi! I’m Cameron, a passionate long-distance runner and dog enthusiast originally from the Northeast, where I fell in love with running and mountaineering in the White Mountains. With 12 years of running experience, I’ve spent countless hours training on trails and streets alongside my favorite four-legged companions. After conquering the tallest mountains back East, I moved to Colorado last year in search of new adventures and challenges. Beyond running and my love for dogs, I’m an avid gardener and an analytical chemist by trade, bringing a keen attention to detail to ensure your best friend stays safe, healthy, and happy!
Emma
Hi I’m Emma! Originally from Birmingham, AL, I packed up my life (plus my partner, dog, 2 cats, and a very friendly turtle) and made the move to Denver 5 months ago. I’ve been a lifelong athlete and soccer player, and when I’m not out hiking with your pup, you can probably find me playing in a local soccer league, weightlifting, camping, paddle boarding, or discovering new trails to conquer with my own pup! I’m also a big fan of live music, spontaneous city adventures, and all things outdoorsy. Dogs are truly the best part of any day, and I love getting to build fun, goofy, and trusted relationships with every pup I hike with. Nothing makes me happier than seeing those tails wag when I show up. Whether they’re high energy explorers or leaf-sniffing philosophers, I’m here for all their adventures!

I love dogs and I love running, and I'm so happy to be part of the DDJ team! Originally from Montana, I've called the Denver area home for 18 years. I spent 12 years working in nonprofit fundraising here, then my husband and I and our four kids moved to Liberia, West Africa, in the fall of 2016. (Yes, I ran there, but it was in circles on a soccer field in very high humidity.) I've always enjoyed running - setting goals, training hard, and reaching those goals, regardless of whether it's a 5k or a marathon! Now that we have returned to Colorado, I feel fortunate to have a job where I can be outside, spend time with your friendly, four-legged furballs, and explore Denver's streets and trails. I absolutely adore our canine clients! Thank you for sharing your precious family members with us!

I was born in the heart of the Rockies in Crested Butte, CO. I lived and worked around the country before returning to Colorado in 2018. My wife and I have two dogs who regularly join us on our mountain adventures. We love hiking for the chance to meet new people and pups, and to share the unique beauty of the Rocky Mountains.
