Homestay For Dogs - Lakewood, Colorado

I was fortunate to meet Les and Olga when they came to the ranch for training. They were excellent students and took the responsibility of training a well-mannered family member seriously.

They are dedicated dog owners, diligent in both husbandry and obedience training. Occasionally, I must leave one of my dogs home when I travel, and Les and Olga have been a blessing.

As a dog professional and national-level sheep herding competitor, I am very discriminating about who I trust my dogs with, especially given that they serve as expert partners with years of invested training. Les and Olga possess a deep commitment to total care that puts them among the best out there.

They always send the cutest pictures of my dog having fun with various adventures, shopping at the local pet store, leash outings to the park, playing mental enrichment games, and sporting fashionable clothing.

They are the most conscientious dog owners I have ever met, and I can’t think of anyone I would rather have watch my dogs. Beyond that, my dogs adore them!

Les and Olga are Amazing!!! I have never felt more comfortable leaving my dog while going away. Not only was Aspen well cared for (including combing, nail trimming, toothbrushing, etc) but she also received daily training that kept not only her body active but most importantly her mind. I was sent daily pictures and videos showing the progress she was making. Upon pickup Les and Olga spent time with us going over all the training and forwarded their videos so that we could apply the techniques when returning home. As a pet owner with minimal training experience, it was so helpful to be able to watch and rewatch the videos when working on the training and timing. They also provided an evaluation that spot lighted the best practices going forward to achieve success. Lastly, we were given a gift of a very insightful book that they felt would be helpful in understanding Aspen. Although not finished reading yet, it has been extremely helpful. Aspen is doing so much better since her stay. Les and Olga have an exceptional knowledge of dogs and in addition have such a nice and calm demeaner. They are truly wonderful, loving and caring people who treat your dog like its their own. I wouldn't hesitate to book a stay for Aspen again.

I first came to know Olga and Les as their agility instructor. As time progressed, I came to value them as dear friends. I saw how they totally changed their life for their dog, Pie, when he was diagnosed with epilepsy. They did everything possible to give Pie the very best. In my 30-plus years with dogs, there have been very few people I would be willing to leave my dogs with. Les and Olga are one of the few I could totally trust. Any dog would happily spend time with them and be better for it.

Les & Olga Culver took care of our dog Brownie for several days while we were out of town on business. Brownie was a wonderful dog in many ways (part Rhodesian Ridgeback and part Pit Bull) but she was canine aggressive and also very muscular and strong. The Culvers did a fantastic job taking care of her, walking her several times a day (not an easy task at all), giving her lots of love and attention. We were nervous leaving her with someone other than us for several days because we knew how strong and aggressive she could be, but Les and Olga did an amazing job with her and I would not hesitate to have them look after Brownie in the future. Five star recommendation.

The Culvers are trustworthy, attentive and highly dependable people to care for your pet. Their love for dogs is inimitable and it truly shines in their approach to this calling. We highly recommend them to the most discriminating dog aficionados.
