Not sure where to leave your pooch for dog daycare or dog boarding? You have lots of choices about where you pal plays during the day or stays at night while you are away, so how do you decide which is the best place for both you and your dog? Always ask for a tour of the play areas and where they will sleep at night. When touring a facility, here are a few things our customers think are important:
Our place smells fresh and clean, each dog has privacy, a bed, and plenty of room to move around while eating and resting at night, and the play areas are roomy, clean and well supervised.
We make sure your dogs visit is as comfortable and stress-free as possible, but if you still haven't made up your mind yet, check out our customer reviews by clicking the button below. We know you'll love our place too!

Playful Pooch is Denver's Premier Dog Daycare and Boarding Facility
Playful Pooch offers dog daycare, spacious overnight dog boarding kennels with dog beds, and bathing services for our guests. We have over 7,500 square feet of indoor/outdoor doggie daycare play areas. Big and little dogs each have their own play areas making Playful Pooch Denver's best dog daycare.
Our Location is just 4 blocks south of I-70 on Holly Street at Exit 277, making it the most convenient place for dog boarding in Denver when you are on the way to DIA (Denver International Airport). Our family owned and operated business is conveniently located 5 minutes from the Stapleton, Park Hill and Lowry neighborhoods, and only 10 minutes from Downtown and Cherry Creek. Playful Pooch also serves the entire metro Denver area and the Front Range.
Right on the way to DIA!!
Our Philosophy is to provide a relaxing and nurturing experience, that includes supervised socialization in a safe, clean and fun environment, nutritional recommendations, comfortable private kennel suites with pet cots and soothing music at night, and lots of personal love and attention from our experienced and caring staff.
Our Goal is to provide a social setting where your dog can play with other dogs throughout the day in a play group environment. We suggest that all dogs be socialized and able to participate in group play. If you have concerns regarding your dog's social skills, we would be happy to assess his or her compatibility to our socialization process through an interview.
Relocation Services are offered to assist our customers who are moving to and from Denver. We can coordinate your pooches arrival or departures from Denver International Airport (DIA) and will provide a comfortable and caring temporary home so that you don't have to worry about your best friend during that stressful transition period.
Premium baths and nail trims are available for our boarding and daycare guests and we welcome visitors as well. See our grooming section for more information.
