Dog Boarding in Aurora
Aurora's two listed kennels are a long-established family operation near Colfax and Chambers and a rescue-run boarding outfit on the eastern edge of town.
Tenaker Pet Care Center has boarded pets in Aurora since 1986, and the family-run business now fills a 23,000-square-foot climate-controlled building near Colfax and Chambers. Boarding runs are 26 feet long with a doggy door separating indoor and outdoor halves, webcams are available, and the entry rules are specific: dogs under four months are not accepted, dogs 13 and older need a vet note, and group daycare requires spay or neuter and current vaccines. It is tagged PACFA-licensed. L.O.L.A.'s Rescue Center & Boarding, formerly SunShine Dog Ranch, sits on East Bayaud Avenue near the Aurora Reservoir and pairs a dog rescue with paid overnight stays in indoor, temperature-controlled kennels; reservations are by phone or email. It is not tagged PACFA-licensed here, so ask for the Colorado Department of Agriculture license, which the state requires of any business boarding more than three dogs.
With only two listings inside the city, many Aurora owners also look at Denver's kennels, a short drive west.
Expect to show rabies, DHPP and Bordetella records, and to book early around holidays. Published Front Range rates as of October 2026 run about $55 to $65 a night for a standard kennel.
