Meet the Team
Lindsey
FOUNDER & ADVENTURE GUIDE
Lindsey's roots are grounded on Cape Cod, where her deep love for dogs and the great outdoors blossomed. When she's not in the woods with Sky and her friends, you'll likely find her enjoying quality time with family and friends.
Lindsey has a passion for travel, exploring new horizons whenever the opportunity arises. In addition to her two human daughters, she proudly calls Sky her 3rd and furrier child. Lindsey is lucky to spend her days in the woods along side her wonderful husband Brian.
Brian
CFO (Chief fun officer) & ADVENTURE GUIDE
Hailing from Ireland, Brian has embraced Boston as his home. He shares a love for exploring new trails with Sky and her companions, infusing each adventure with a sense of fun.
Beyond the trails, Brian is dedicated to coaching his daughters, indulging in golf, and avidly following European soccer matches. His diverse interests and infectious enthusiasm make him a valuable member of our Running Free Dog Adventures team.
Maureen
ADVENTURE GUIDE
Hi, I’m Maureen!
I’m a boy mom, a boy grandmom, and a proud Black Lab mom—and yes, depending on the day, any one of those might be my favorite role.
I love peaceful walks in the woods, breezy beach strolls, and spontaneous games of Fetch. (Yes, I’ll throw the ball a hundred times if it makes them happy!)
What began as a simple favor many years ago has turned into the best job I’ve ever had. I’m lucky enough to spend my days doing what I love, and every day brings a little dirt, a lot of laughter, and so much joy.
At the end of each adventure, there’s nothing better than a good cuddle and knowing we all had the best time out there—dogs and humans alike.
Kyle
ADVENTURE GUIDE
Hello, I'm Kyle! I live in Dorchester with my rescue dog Wyatt, my daily hiking buddy and best pal. Before joining Running Free, we spent hours exploring Blue Hills on our own, experiencing firsthand how healing nature can be. Now we have hiking buddies to join us, and it’s been wonderful becoming part of a pack. I have a special place in my heart for rescues and anxious pups, and it’s always rewarding to see how time outdoors helps them relax, play, and grow in confidence. Dogs have been my closest companions all my life, and caring for them is where I feel most at home.
Christine
ADVENTURE GUIDE
Hello, I am Christine and I am a graduate of the University of Massachusetts Amherst and have always had a deep love for all animals, especially dogs. I grew up in central MA on a lake, where my love for the outdoors and exploring began.
I am an avid hiker, nature lover and have a passion for traveling. I currently have a sheltie named Palmer and three orange cats!
Sean
ADVENTURE GUIDE
HI, I'm Sean! When my younger son found out that I was starting this job, he said "It's perfect for you - your two favorite things, dogs and hiking!" Growing up in the northwestern corner of Connecticut, the woods were always in my backyard - begging to be explored with our dogs. Now, my family and I live in West Roxbury with our dog Friday- a Blue Heeler mix. She goes everywhere with us - family trips, camping, hiking, swimming - she is family. Hiking with dogs is the ultimate adventure - so happy to be working with Running Free Dog Adventures!

The benefits of running free adventures
By combining off-leash play, pack walks, and group adventures, dogs can enjoy a well-rounded experience that addresses their physical, social, and mental needs.
Knowing their dogs are enjoying social interactions and adventures alleviates feelings of guilt associated with a busy schedule. Owners can have peace of mind knowing their dogs are not only physically active but also mentally stimulated and socially fulfilled, contributing to their overall well-being. And....they take LONG naps!
Rest assured your dog is in the care of dog loving, compassionate professionals that love your dog as if they were our own. We give lots of cuddles and kisses. We are also CPR and FIrst-AId certified, Licenced, Insured and Bonded.
Group adventures in varied environments offer dogs new sights, smells, and terrain, stimulating their natural curiosity.
We keep you in the loop on everything. You will receive photos, videos and a GPS map of our adventures.
