Partner of Hike Doggie Inc & Hike Doggie Franchising LLC

Abbey, originally from West Chester, Pennsylvania, Abbey pursued her passion for sports and education in North Carolina, where she excelled as a collegiate diver and earned a degree in Elementary Education. Following college, she embarked on an international adventure, relocating to Germany with her husband and their first dog, Brandy, where they welcomed their daughter. After several years abroad, Abbey returned to the U.S., settling first in South Carolina—where her two sons were born—before making her home in Golden, Colorado.

Fueled by her love for the outdoors and animals, she joined the Hike Doggie team, where she played a key role in developing the company’s comprehensive training program for new franchisees. She continues to welcome and integrate new dogs into the Hike Doggie program with care and enthusiasm, while also helping to upgrade internal systems and software, streamline daily operations, and build a strong and reliable team.
Abbey is now excited to help lead the company’s growth through a new partnership with Loyalty Brands, expanding Hike Doggie’s franchising footprint across the United States.
