Good Morning. Memorial Day marks more than just the unofficial start to summer—it's a moment to remember, to reflect, and to fire up the grill. Whether you're honoring heroes or just happy to have Monday off, we’ve got a light week ahead with some big summer energy sneaking in.
Between backyard brews, yoga under the trees, and gnome-based mischief, the warm-weather fun is just getting started. So kick back, soak up the sun (or dodge the drizzle), and scroll on through for what’s happening south of 470.
And hey—don’t forget to share The Roundup with your crew. The more, the merrier… and rumor has it, we’re cookin’ up new referral rewards hotter than a July sidewalk.

The Pooch Mobile Rolls Through the Neighborhood
After years in the corporate world, Janet Hermes decided to trade meetings and spreadsheets for suds and tail wags. These days, she’s the friendly face behind The Pooch Mobile, a mobile dog washing service that brings a full grooming setup right to your front door.
Janet serves a wide stretch of the South Denver suburbs—from Littleton and Englewood to Lone Tree and Heritage Hills—offering gentle, professional care to pups of all shapes and sizes. While she doesn’t do style cuts or shave downs, her specialty is giving dogs a good, thorough wash and helping them feel fresh and comfortable.
Appointments are available seven days a week, and dogs seem to love the one-on-one attention they get from her calm, kind approach. If your four-legged family member could use a good scrub, you can reach Janet directly at 303-257-6320 to book.
