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.

Ellyn was amazing! She took care of our dog during our wedding week and was able to accomodate our special requests with no questions asked. Our dog (Denver) was in our ceremony so she made sure he was nice and tired and CLEAN before the big day. She treated him like her own and I could tell how much fun and love Denver received while in her care. I will be booking again next time Denver needs special care!

Ellyn took wonderful care of our dog, Mango. It is clear she got lots of exercise and love, which we appreciate. Thank you so much.

Pico had a good stay. He came home tired. That’s a good sign. Thank you Ellyn.

Ellyn was very communicative and gave Homer plenty of walks while I was away, would definitely leave him in her care again!

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!
