5/5-11 National Pet WEEK! 🐶🐱🏠 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!
Reviews
Elaine took such great care of our little old man! She let him roam around her backyard, which he loved! She also gave him his daily medication, which isn't always easy! We loved the many updates and great pictures she sent; it really put our minds at ease. I am so grateful we found her on short notice after our scheduled sitter cancelled at the last minute. We will absolutely turn to Elaine the next time we need a sitter.
Elaine was so professional and conscientious, while also being a fun and lovely companion to our kitty. Lola was in the best hands while we were away.
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.

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.
