NOW OFFERING DOG PLAY DATES!! (4 hrs for $25) ASK ABOUT A NEW CLIENT BOARDING DISCOUNT!! 💲🐶🐶💲 🎶🎻🎶🎹🎶📻🎶💿🎶📺🎶🎺🎶 Soft classical music and a watchful eye make this dog-friendly environment low-key. This is a great place for older or low energy dogs, or dogs who might need extra special care while you're gone. There are also fun & games & walks for younger dogs, who are not at all expected to keep the slower pace of the older dogs!

My husband and I could not be any more impressed by the care our dog receives from Elaine. She pays close attention to every detail of Zoe’s care. I especially like that she keeps in contact with us through emails and pictures. I can say I can highly recommend her.

Our dog always has a great time here! Elaine is very detail-oriented and makes sure all her guests not only get the same care their owners give them, but a little extra treat here and there. I wouldn't book with anybody else in ABQ.

I want to thank Elaine for the love and kindness she showed to our little 15 year old Violet. She sent me picture and information on how my old dog was doing setting my mind at easy will we were working. I so appreciate the kindness she showed to us. Thank you again and again I hope to be able to do it again next year when we visit Albuquerque.

Elaine was a wonderful hostess to my doggie, Mimi. She sent me lots of pictures that reassured me that Mimi was having a great stay. Mimi was fed very well and had plenty of love. Mimi will stay with Elaine again in the future. Thanks so much for everything, Elaine.

Information Elaine D. would like to know about your pet

The Meet and Greet is required at least two days before the stay begins, except for out-of-town guests. I would prefer even earlier if possible. This allows time to arrange for another sitter in the event my setup does not look like it will work out for your doggie(s). I do require proof of current vaccinations before I can accept a new dog. Please bring a certificate or receipt from the vet or shot clinic to the Meet & Greet. Also, I would like to be informed of any specific health conditions or behaviors requiring special care. My business is insured. My house & yard pest control, & ice melt, use nontoxic substances safe for pets. I generally accept small dogs (up to 25 lbs) who will let me walk and pick them up if necessary, and are compatible with my dogs during the first meeting, the house tour, and the backyard visit. At this time, I am not able to accept Shiba Inus, Bulldogs or Pugs.
