How lifelong dog lover Phoenix O’Hara is building connections for dogs, their owners and the communities they call home.
Every community has someone who naturally brings people together. Along Colorado’s Front Range, that person is often Phoenix O’Hara.
Long before becoming the Area Representative for Hike Doggie, Phoenix built relationships by caring for dogs, supporting local businesses and connecting neighbors. Today, she brings that same passion to helping busy pet owners give their dogs professionally supervised outdoor adventures filled with exercise, enrichment and exploration.
For Phoenix, however, the business has never been just about dog hikes.
“Some people spend their lives searching for what they were meant to do. I figured it out when I was eight years old.”
— Phoenix O’Hara
Armed with homemade business cards as a child, Phoenix began walking neighborhood dogs and never looked back. More than four decades later, her mission remains remarkably unchanged: create joy, build trust and give every dog the best day ever.
Hike Doggie provides professionally supervised outdoor adventures, exercise, enrichment and socialization experiences that help dogs live happier, healthier lives. Dogs are transported to carefully selected outdoor destinations where they can run, explore, splash through streams and experience Colorado the way dogs were meant to.
For busy pet owners, it’s peace of mind.
For the dogs, it’s often the best day of the week.
Beyond caring for dogs, Phoenix has become a trusted resource throughout Northern Colorado by connecting residents with local businesses, supporting nonprofits, participating in community events and helping neighbors build lasting relationships.
“People think we’re in the dog business. We’re really in the relationship business. The dogs just happen to be our favorite customers.”
— Phoenix O’Hara
That philosophy has helped create something much larger than a customer base. It has helped build a community where dogs have friends, pet owners have support and local businesses have advocates.
John Hewitt, Founder of Loyalty Brands, describes Phoenix as someone whose passion for people is every bit as strong as her passion for dogs.
Phoenix is a force of nature… She has spent a lifetime creating connections, supporting local businesses, championing pet owners and making Colorado a better place for dogs and the people who love them.
