Hi, I’m Elynn, the Top Dog of Dallas and Pals.  That’s me in the photo. My husband and I are owned by two incredible four-legged furry "kids", Skye and Dallas.

People frequently ask me why I decided to open a dog walking/pet sitting business.  Here it is in a nutshell…
After working for 20 years in the medical and orthodontic fields, I decided I was due for a career change.  I knew I wanted to work with animals in some capacity, so after much research, and realizing I spent most of my spare time at the dog park I decided to start Dallas and Pals. 

As far back as I can remember I have always loved animals.  Growing up I always wanted a dog but we traveled too much, so I made due with pet sitting for all the neighbors, and hiking with a friend’s dog. 

Over the years I became very involved with many animal related causes (see the "Our Papers" page).  With many years of experience working with animals in a variety of situations, and an indescribable passion for animals, professional dog walking and pet sitting turned out to be the perfect career choice for me.

Some people say their life has “gone to the dogs”, but mine truly has!
