Pet care experience

Lover of All Dogs | Rescue Advocate

I’ve taken care of dogs of all kinds since I was a small child! Growing up, we adopted dogs of all breeds and ages, so I am experienced with the needs of young pups to senior animals. I currently have 1 rescue of my own named Murphy who I love to pieces! I also volunteer at the Humane Society of Boulder Valley about once a week where I help support animals in need of homes.

Doggy Day Care • Jul 27, 2026

Pico clearly had fun --he went straight for his bed. That's a good sign.

I am grateful beyond words for Ellyn's thoughtful care. It gave me peace of mind to know she felt at home in Ellyn's household, and enjoyed the company of Ellyn's dog. Great communication, also. Five stars.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard for your dog to play in. My dog Murphy is also a great playmate but is happy to give your dog some space if that is preferred (he tends to be much more interested in squirrels and bunnies than other dogs).

Pets

A typical day

I love taking dogs for walks around the beautiful North Boulder trails that are just outside my front door. We typically spend a lot of our time outside on the patio when the weather is nice, so your dog will have a lot of fun wandering around the fully fenced yard while supervised!

I’d love to meet you and your pet before their stay if possible to make sure we’re a good fit, and to best understand how to make them happy and comfortable! Please note I can host up to 2 dogs at once, let me know if you have concerns with another dog in the house besides my resident pup Murphy and we can make that arrangement.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
