The most inspiring part of my job is my team, and all of our amazing clients, human and dog.

When I’m not walking dogs, I’m spending time with my kids or kayaking and hiking around Ontario. Favourite Hamilton trail: Smokey Hollow, for the creek and the waterfall.

Soft spot for livestock guardian breeds. My dog, Stevie Nicks, is a Great Pyrenees/Great Dane mutt. Bucket list: kayaking the fjords in Norway.

My favourite part is watching the dogs build trust over time, both with me and within the pack.

I feel honoured when a dog starts looking to me for direction or shows me a side they usually keep for family.

Off the clock: my own dogs (and wife), road trips, running, writing, knitting and photography. Best advice: trust yourself, roll with the punches, and work with what you’ve got.

Best advice I’ve been given: dogs can sense a good person when they see one, so trust their judgment.

When I’m not walking dogs, I’m working on my PhD in theoretical physics. Favourite breed: any wild mutt, extra points for a sprinkle of heeler. Talent show act: rapping “In Da Club” upside down on the monkey bars.

Pack Leader

I love seeing reserved dogs come around and become part of the pack. They seem so proud, and I’m so proud of them.

Mom of two girls, Lyla and Charlie, and two hounds, Beau and Aya. I’m also a food stylist, recipe developer and culinary educator at George Brown College.

Favourite trails: spooky forests on a foggy day, especially Sulphur Springs.
