Lucky's Little POOCH Lodge

Small Dog Oasis! A lifelong dog lover, we specialize in caring for small dogs 24/7 providing comfort, fun and safety for all. Our ‘dog friendly’ adult only home is 'smoke-free' without cages, kennels or pets other than Lucky. We have ample space, rooms, beds, blankets and couches with a large backyard, fully fenced, a pool adjacent the greenbelt along Cripple Creek where pups can enjoy nature's beauty. Pups spend their days full of TLC, cuddles, playtime, naps, meals, treats, fresh water, brushing etc. We offer peace of mind ensuring your special furry family member(s) are in good hands and we forward pics or videos of your pet(s) daily. My extensive canine experience includes growing up with various breeds: German Shepherds, CockaPoo, Lab Mix, Tibetan Terrier and currently my fabulous fur baby, Lucky who is a Yorkie Mix and wonderful host.

Second time having Tamara watch my dog Wiley. He had some other dog company there and from the pictures Tamara sent me I could see he was having a great time. Wiley gets a pill once a morning and Tamara was good with giving him his pill every day. Tamara makes sure there are lots of places in the house for her charges to rest and hangout. Her fenced in backyard gives the dogs she boards plenty of space to exercise. Tamara is a great sitter and I will use her again the next time Wiley needs a temporary home away from home.
