Dog boarding and daycare in Denver
11 boarding and daycare places are mapped within about nine miles of central Denver. Visit before you book: you are leaving your animal with strangers for days, and the smell and noise of the place tell you more than the website.
Denver has real winters: below about 20°F short-coated and small dogs need a coat and shorter walks, and road salt should be rinsed off paws. Summer afternoons still get hot enough to watch the pavement.

Before you go
- They should ask for vaccination records (rabies, distemper/parvo, bordetella for dogs; FVRCP for cats) and refuse animals without them. If they do not ask, leave.
- Ask how many dogs one person watches, where dogs sleep, and what happens if one gets sick.
- Boarding in US cities runs about $40–$90 a night for a dog, $25–$50 for a cat; daycare $30–$60 a day.
What works
- Do a trial day before a long stay.
- Pack their own food in measured bags; a diet change plus stress means diarrhea.
- Send a worn T-shirt of yours and their usual bed if allowed.
- Leave your vet's number and a signed consent for treatment up to an amount you choose.
- A dog who comes home tired and thirsty is normal; one who comes home with a cough or sore paws is a reason to pick another place next time.
