Two Paws Up Kennel
7155 Independence St, Arvada, CO 80004
Small farm-based boarding kennel that describes itself as licensed; currently accepting reservations from existing clients only, when space allows.
- PACFA licensed
Arvada's boarding choices are a full pet resort in the north of the city and a small farm kennel in the middle of it.
Two Ponds Pet Lodge on West 80th Avenue in north Arvada is the full-service option: dogs choose between indoor-only and indoor/outdoor cabins, webcams let owners check in, and day camp and grooming run on the same site. It also boards cats, rabbits, birds and other small pets, which is rare along the Front Range. The listing carries a PACFA licensed tag.
Two Paws Up Kennel on Independence Street is the opposite scale, a small kennel run from the owner's farm in central Arvada, also tagged PACFA licensed. It describes reasonable rates and a multi-dog discount, but is currently accepting reservations from existing clients only when space allows, so newcomers should not count on it.
Colorado's Pet Animal Care and Facilities Act requires a license for anyone boarding more than three animals at a time; ask to see it, or look the business up on the Department of Agriculture's Active Facility List before booking.

Both listings here, Two Ponds Pet Lodge and Two Paws Up Kennel, carry a PACFA licensed tag in our data. Colorado requires the license for facilities boarding more than three pet animals at a time, and the Colorado Department of Agriculture publishes an Active Facility List you can check.
Two Ponds Pet Lodge offers webcams, so enrolled owners can look in on their dog during the stay. Two Paws Up Kennel does not list webcams and is a small farm kennel currently taking existing clients only, so ask about its setup directly.
Expect proof of rabies, DHPP and Bordetella at minimum; many Front Range facilities also ask for canine influenza and leptospirosis since the 2023 respiratory-illness wave. Each kennel sets its own list, so confirm when you book and start any new series three to four weeks ahead.
