The Happy Trots Pack

Denver Dog Walkers You Can Trust

Lydia Winsauer | Pack Leader

Lydia is a proud mom to two kiddos and two beloved pups, Brownie and Nala. As both a parent and dog owner, she understands how important it is to trust the person caring for your four-legged family members. Lydia brings warmth, reliability, and genuine love to every walk, creating calm, happy experiences for the dogs in her care.

Nicole Rufener | Founder, Happy Trots

Nicole is the founder of Happy Trots and a Denver native who believes movement heals, for dogs and humans alike. She’s a proud mom to two beautiful daughters, one beloved fur baby (Winnie), and “mema” to a tiny hamster named Bear.

After 24 years in real estate, Nicole felt called to create a life rooted in alignment, presence, and purpose. A certified coach, she’s passionate about helping people move through seasons of feeling stuck, misaligned, burned out, or navigating life transitions.

Happy Trots was born at the intersection of her love for dogs, nervous system healing, and community care. Today, she walks dogs and supports humans — creating steadier rhythms, calmer homes, and happier hearts.
