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.

We couldn’t be happier with Tamara! She is caring and attentive. Our dog was happy and comfortable with her, and we loved getting updates and pictures of him having fun with the other dogs. We feel lucky to have found her and highly recommend her!

Pups came home happy and healthy! I always worry about our elderly dogs when we travel but frequent updates with pics from Tamara provided reassurance that they were fine and very comfortable! 😊

Tamara is amazing!! My dog literally gets so excited to go to her house. She is highly responsive and a great communicator and loves my dog well. I won't use anyone else.

Tamara was amazing as always! I always appreciate all the pictures and updates, it’s so nice to know that my baby is safe and happy there! Tamara has this down to a science, and you can tell when you see all the happy dogs! It can be so scary leaving your dog with someone you don’t know, so I love that I have someone I trust to take care of my girl <3
