Information Ellyn A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know the general temperament of your pup, any likes or dislikes I should be aware of, and if your pup has any special needs. I’d love to meet you and your pet before their stay to make sure we’re a good fit!

A typical day

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

Pet care experience

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.

My pup’s stay with Ellyn was seamless. Ellyn’s daily updates and photos kept me up to speed on how well the stay was going and how my pup was enjoying his walks, playtime and naptime. I also appreciate Ellyn’s focus on the safety of the pups she cares for.

Excellent communication throughout the process. Nice environment and introduction of my dog to others went well. We look forward to going back.
