Rosamaria is wonderful with dogs. My sweet fur baby had a great time in a comfortable home. It s hard to be away from her, but it s good to know she s in a good environment.

We had a great experience with Jonathon. He took such great care of our old blind dog, Ali. He communicated great and sent lots of photos showing how much fun my dog was having. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great, safe place to stay!

Rebekah was thorough, sweet, and so caring of our dogs! She stayed in constant communication and I feel safe to say they were staying in a loving home.

She was very communicative and sent constant updates which was amazing. Layla got a lot of walks and was truly cared for while I was gone. She was even sad to leave ! Would book again.

Lacey did an amazing job watching my dog Louie! Provided consistent update with pictures throughout his stay and was on top of his dietary and medication needs. Would highly recommend for anyone who wants their dog in good hands.

Jose did an exceptional job boarding Chico! He shared a picture of him taking him on a walk which made me at ease knowing he was good. I will definitely use Jose again next time I need to board Chico or to even take him on walks. Thanks Jose!!

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!
