The Posh Pup in Congress Park

Pet care experience

Your pup will have a delightful stay with Marie & JP, two certifiable "Dog Nuts" and their pug Max, in our artsy and comfortable home. PLEASE READ our full profile before contacting us. Thank you! Also please note that our "Open" hours are 8am-10pm 7 days a week, and all drop-off and pick-up times will need to be within those hours. We do require a meet-and-greet with your pup before accepting a reservation with a new client Marie, an artist, and Jiva, a composer & musician, are both in their 40's and work at home, so your fur-baby will receive 24/7 loving care and attention. Your pup's stay will include one walk, a daily picture or text update for you and all the love and fun your dog can handle. We are into lots of hugs and cuddles here! Our lovely Victorian home is located in the easy-to-get-to Congress Park area just East of Downtown, and we are 2 blocks from City Park. Our backyard is fully fenced, and a nice shady spot for afternoon naps. We are both life-long animal lovers and dog owners and will be happy to provide personal references. PLEASE NOTE: We are no longer hosting large dogs (over 45 pounds), puppies (under 1.5 years) or very high-energy dogs. While we love all dogs, our canine guests need to get along well with other dogs, and aggressive dogs are not welcome. Our four-legged house guests MUST be fully potty trained, and special-needs (ie: high maintenance) dogs will require a higher fee on a case-by-case basis. Senior dogs are very welcome as long as stairs are not an issue for them (Our home has 2-stories. We'll be happy to carry small dogs upstairs however.) Thank you for understanding. We're looking forward to meeting you and your pup!

Marie and Jiva are wonderful! Our dog gets so excited to run up to their house every stay! They love her like their own pup. We highly recommend them.

Marie and Jiva were awesome! They helped make our overall transition to Denver that much easier for us.

This was my first time using Rover and Maria and Jiva were amazing hosts! Marie was really great with daily communication and photos and knew exactly how to welcome Lola to her home and make her feel safe and comfortable. Lola stayed for 10 days while I was on vacation and I was able to relax and enjoy my time away knowing she was in good hands. I hope to book again and would highly recommend! Thanks!

Marie and JP are wonderful pet sitters! They truly love dogs and were warm and caring to our sweet pups. Their fenced-in backyard was a great spot for our dogs to chase squirrels and enjoy the sun. They're communicative, easygoing and a pleasure to work with. Our dogs are looking forward to their next visit!

Information Marie A. would like to know about your pet

We only accept house-trained dogs over 1.5 years old, no large dogs, and absolutely no aggressive dogs. "Must play well with others" is the golden rule here. No Pit Bulls, as they are illegal in the city of Denver.

A typical day

Our guests get free run of the house, including the furniture, and can sleep wherever they are comfortable. We are all one big happy family here and prefer not to close pups up alone in a room. Pups have access to the backyard any time day or night, and will only ever be left on their own for an hour or two once or twice a week on long stays. Sometime walks are a stroll around the neighborhood and sometimes City Park, and rarely the same walk twice! There are lots of comfy places to nap, inside and out, and lots of toys to play with. We like to spoil our guests :-)
