Certified Dog Walker
I have over a decade of professional experience reading dogs' body language and anticipating their movements as the founder and owner of The Dog Photographer. From family portraits, to stock images and large billboards, I've worked with almost every kind of dog in both Dallas and New York City.
In 2018, I left the United States to make Canada my permanent home. I'm thrilled to be here and quickly became enchanted with the many forests, beaches and parks in Metro Vancouver. Walking my dog is one of the best parts of my day and I look forward to including your dog in our daily hikes around town.

I am the friendly face you will often see on the other end of your dog's leash here at Let The Dogs Out! Dog Walking + Boarding. Ever since I can remember I have had a genuine love for all things dog; I'm that person whose head just can't help but swivel when they see a cute dog walking down the street.
I am committed to providing your dog with a sense of companionship, as well as mental stimulation through exercise and various training while out on our walks. I have four years of experience working with dogs, First Aid and CPR certified, and a Dog Walking Academy graduate. When I'm not walking dogs; you could find me working on an art project, mountain biking, golfing, or a personal favourite, operating a helicopter. You will see me with a smile on my face doing anything outdoors.
