Sara Lee

Sara Lee founded Paths & Paws after years of struggling to find reliable, field-tested information about hiking with dogs. Frustrated by generic advice and affiliate-driven recommendations, she set out to build the resource she wished existed.

As Editor, Sara oversees all content on the site while still contributing beginner-focused guides and general hiking articles. Her writing emphasizes accessibility-making the outdoors feel achievable for first-time dog hikers while providing depth for experienced adventurers.

Sara's background includes outdoor education and content development for several outdoor brands. She lives in the Pacific Northwest with her two rescue dogs, who serve as willing (if sometimes muddy) hiking companions.
