Sylvia was great with our senior dog! She provided lots of updates and offered a meet and greet which made our pup so much more comfortable and familiar with her and her home. Will use Sylvia again!

Sylvia is amazing! She was very accommodating of my schedule and sent so many pics! She eased my high anxiety leaving my pup for the first time in a year, communicating with me often. She took her on so many walks. I boarded my pup overnight with her and she was so well cared for. Highly recommend!

Thank you so much for how you handed Tanner. I am so sorry he acted out but am grateful I was able to get an alternative booked and you were so flexible with getting him there! I m glad Blanche did so well with you and opened up so quickly with you!
Tiffany R.
Jeffrey was so amazing! Sent pics and communicated frequently. I rarely leave my babies and I would totally leave them with Jeffrey anytime. Too bad I don t live in the area or I would hire him on a regular basis! Thank you again for watching them as I would

I cannot say enough positive things about Bethany. My pug definitely has separation issues and needs extra attention. It s clear Bethany and her partner gave her all the one-on-one loving she needs. Also, my trip got unexpectedly extended by a day, which had me freaking out. Bethany was super communicative and made adding an extra day super easy. Would board with her over and over again! Ten stars!

This our family s second time having Natalie watch our puppies and will definitely not be our last. She is so caring which showed as she sent us pics of the puppies every day. The girls came home happy and well taken care of. We are beyond grateful to have found Natalie

The best dog events in Golden
48
Toby's Pet Parade
If you and your goofy pooch love to dress up, meet other pups, and play around at festivals, then this annual event is the perfect choice for you both! This event is for pooches and their paw-rents from all over Colorado to benefit the Foothills Animal Shelter. The day features a pet costume parade, pup agility demos (can you say flyball?), and family-friendly games and activities. You and your hound can dress up, enjoy local food and vendors, meet other Golden puppers, and enjoy a special day of bonding, all while raising funds for a local shelter. Enjoy food trucks, peruse the beer garden, and keep your polite pup leashed!36
Golden Dog Parks
Golden is paws-itvely packed with puppy park options for you and your four-legged friend! The Dog Park at Tony Grampsas is a popular choice for pet lovers and their pups. This 2.5-acre dog park, which is fully fenced, features a creek where you and your pup can cool off. It can be difficult to find, though - be sure to follow the sidewalk past the ball fields to get to the park! Another popular choice in Golden is Lions Park, a fenced-in, off-leash area for you and your pooch - complete with stunning mountain views. If you and your pup want a little extra adventure, you can always meander over to Evergreen to play at the Elk Meadow Open Space Bark Park - a 1-7 acre dog park with over 3 miles of trails for you and your pup to explore!24
Golden Trails
What is Colorado if not a destination for some of the best trails in the country, and if we know your adventurous pup, he does not want to miss out on the fun! Though there are hundreds of trails in the city that allow you and your leashed pup, we've listed a few fan favorites here. Some of the most popular trails include the Windy Peak Trail, the Apex Trail, and the Frazer Meadow Trail. The Windy Peak Trail is an almost 5-mile trail in the Golden Gate Canyon State Park.Even though you have to keep your pooch leashed, you and your bud can hike around over 14,000 acres of meadows, forests, and peaks. Additionally, The Apex Trail is a popular pick, too. It's about 5 miles and will take roughly four hours for you and your pup to complete it. Watch out, though! This hike is not for the faint-of-paw, it's a steep uphill climb. Don't forget about The Frazer Meadow Trail, another 5-mile hike that's located in the Golden Canyon State Park, as well.

Movies & Music in the Park
If you and your pooch love culture and socialization, the nearly-constant movies and music in the park events are the perfect picks for you! Though these events aren't necessarily dog-themed, they're certainly dog-friendly (as long as you keep Fido on a leash!)Bring blankets, chairs, pillows, snacks, and your pooch, to enjoy either concerts or movies. You both can peruse local vendors for food and shopping, bring your own picnic dinners, or just enjoy the beautiful weather with your best friend.
Buffalo Bill Days
The Buffalo Bill Days festival is one of the biggest events in Golden every year, and luckily, you don't have to miss out just because you want your pooch with you. This fun, historical festival is more than dog-friendly. Enjoy learning about Golden's historical connections to Buffalo Bill, check out the trail ride, eat delicious foods, see fun arts and crafts, and take part in the street dance with your pooch! There's even a pancake breakfast that you and your hound can join and spaghetti dinners later on. You and your mutt won't want to miss out on the fun!
