Elynn Miller

Owner/Top Dog

Hi, I’m Elynn, the Owner and Top Dog of Dallas and Pals. That’s me in the picture with my sweet girl, a Chinook dog named Kila.

With my skills and experience with dogs (listed below), I am happy to be able to help you with your dog walking needs, but I thought you might want to hear a little about me aside from my work, so here it goes . . .

I am a native Seattlelite who grew up hiking and climbing our incredible (and challenging!) mountains, usually with a dog or two by my side.

Over the years I have been the lucky mom to one ferret, three bunnies, three hamsters, four kitties, five dogs, and multiple fish. My true loves are dogs, cats, gardening, painting and crafts, listening to rock (Rush is my favorite) or country (big Kenny Chesney fan) music, reading, and spending summer evenings at the dog park with Kila and my friends. Oh, and water. . . anything to do with water – on it in a boat, in it swimming, around it at the ocean . . .

Ok, now on to my credentials:
