About Outdoor Dog Adventures

Kim was born and raised in Harford County, Maryland. She attended Towson University where she graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration with a concentration in International Business. For the past 8 years, Kim has worked in the banking industry but has always had a passion for animals beginning at a young age. She has had a wide range of pets ranging from the typical childhood carnival goldfish to a chinchilla and of course dogs.

Kim is a proud dog mom to Lilly, a Puggle that she and Joe adopted in Maryland, and Chuy, an Austrailian Cattle Mix they adopted from the Kentucky Humane Society. She is a member of Pet Sitters International and also a Certified Professional Pet Sitter. She strives to provide the best care for your pups whether it be a stimulating, adventurous hike or an exciting game of fetch in the backyard.

When not working, Kim enjoys spoiling Lilly and Chuy, taking them on adventures, and trying to convince Joe to let her adopt every dog she sees at the Humane Society. She also loves making crafts, spending time outdoors, traveling, and attending spin class. Her favorite weekend activity is snuggling on the couch with the dogs and binge-watching The Golden Girls.

Joe was also born and raised in Harford County, Maryland. He attended Frostburg University where he graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Finance. After graduating college, he moved to Indianapolis where he worked for a non-profit organization that allowed him to travel all over the United States for 3 years. After those 3 years on the road, he moved back to Maryland where he began his career in Finance and also obtained his insurance license. Fast forward 13 years later, and he is now a Regional Assistant Vice President for the 2nd largest finance company in the U.S. This job is what brought him and Kim to Louisville and they are sure glad it did. Since moving here back in 2014, Joe has fully embraced the Kentucky
lifestyle and has become a Certified Bourbon Steward. When not working, Joe enjoys spending time with Kim and their two dogs, Lilly and Chuy, traveling, hunting for rare bourbon, and finding new adventures and things to do in Louisville! Like a true Kentuckian, he enjoys horseracing and bourbon!

Born and raised in Lancaster, PA, Lori has always had a passion for being around and working with animals. She started taking horseback riding lessons at 7 years old and still loves riding today. Lori has experience working in several animal-related jobs including farm work, pet retail, adoption counselor at an SPCA, and a doggie daycare. She has gained valuable knowledge from each one that she carries with her, including a certification in equine sports massage therapy, earned in 2012. 

Having two dogs of her own, one with moderate anxiety, Lori understands how important it is for any dog to have some time each day to explore nature and take in new surroundings which helps to build confidence.

While not working, and being new to the Louisville area, Lori and her husband enjoy learning about everything that this city has to offer, exploring the local cuisine, going to the movies, and spending down time with their dogs Nala and Jethro. Lori also enjoys just about any outdoor activity including camping, hiking, kayaking, and photography.

Emma has worked in animal care and dog walking since she was 15 years old. She is currently a student at JCTC for commercial photography. Emma has 3 cats: Skully, Marble, and Flapjack. They are each rescues. They are her entire world, she loves animals more than anything! Emma approaches animals as she does people; she respects and appreciates their individual quirks and needs.

Camden is originally from Jackson, Mississippi, and has been around dogs and cats all her life. Growing up on multiple acres of land in the south, there were always multiple dogs and cats running around, protecting the gardens. She spent her childhood running around with the dogs, taking care of the animals, and cuddling with them at night.

Since her childhood, she started her own pet sitting service in Gulfport, MS with the help of her husband. The service specialized in providing care for pets and animals while families were away on vacation. This helped provide for their family as both Camden and her husband were finishing college. After graduating with a Bachelor of Science from William Carey University, Camden, her husband, and two dogs moved to Louisville, KY for graduate school.

When Camden is not caring for the animals of others, she is with her own beloved dogs, Jet and Tux. Both were rescues in need of safe homes. Jet is a beautiful all-black German Shepherd mix, while Tux is a tiny, adorable Schnauzer mix. They are not just brothers, but best friends. Camden enjoys hiking and going on adventures with her husband and dogs. She also loves to paint, sing, and watch The Office or Gilmore Girls.
