Dog Boarding in Boulder
Boulder's kennels sit east of town along Valmont, Pearl and the Gunbarrel business parks, and three of the four are PACFA-licensed.
Cottonwood Kennels has boarded Boulder dogs for more than 50 years from a farm property on Valmont Road east of the city, and many of its staff have been there over a decade. It requires current rabies, distemper and Bordetella vaccinations and a trial day before any boarding stay. Bowhaus in Gunbarrel, with more than 20 years in business, boards dogs alongside its daycare groups and has two firm rules: dogs over 12 months must be spayed or neutered, and a vaccination record from a licensed vet must arrive at least 48 hours before check-in. Camp Bow Wow Boulder on Pearl Street east of 30th gives boarders a full day of play in indoor and outdoor yards, an individual cabin at night and live webcams. The Pet Spot on Walnut Street describes itself as dog daycare and luxury dog and cat boarding, with reservations through its pet-parent portal.
Cottonwood, Bowhaus and Camp Bow Wow are tagged PACFA-licensed. The Pet Spot is not tagged, so ask for its Colorado Department of Agriculture license.
Published Front Range rates as of October 2026 run about $55 to $65 a night for a standard kennel.
