Published prices as of October 2026, typical ranges only. The providers you are matched with set their own prices and policies; confirm before booking.

The day itself

Mountain Dogs runs play blocks from 8 to 11 and 2 to 6 with a kennel nap between, in two indoor and two outdoor yards split by size and temperament, and trainers work dogs on leads for basic manners during the day. Dogtopia sorts by size, temperament and play style into playrooms with a midday nap, and its webcams are on except during naptime. Under The Sun splits large and small dogs, takes them to the dog park and opens a private pool in summer. Interview days are standard; Camp Bow Wow East supervises with counsellors trained in pet first aid and CPR.

Five vaccines, not three

Mountain Dogs requires rabies, Bordetella, distemper, parvo and leptospirosis, and males over six months must be neutered. Most other Springs daycares require the first four and recommend lepto and canine influenza. With the city's respiratory-outbreak history and the July 2025 PACFA record-keeping rule, bring the full vaccine printout to the trial day, and start a flu series three to four weeks before.

Choosing a daycare in Colorado Springs

North side, east side, and what the city's rules mean for daycare dogs.

North-side playrooms

Dogtopia of Woodmen Rd sits in a retail centre on East Woodmen Road, with open-play rooms sorted by size and play style and webcams in every room outside naptime. Dogs 24/7 @ Colorado Springs on Karen Place is the long-running Canine Campus under a new name: cage-free, supervised group play all day, and the same approach overnight, with existing customers kept on through the rebrand. Under The Sun on Vincent Drive is training-first; you can add a session to any daycare day, and puppy school and agility run in the same building.

East-side value

Mountain Dogs Daycare on Juanita Street east of downtown posts $35 a day, seven days a week, with packages and memberships for regulars. Camp Bow Wow Colorado Springs East on Ford Street runs the interview-first camp format with webcams and on-site grooming and training. Both are easy from Powers Boulevard and the airport side of town.

City rules push dogs toward daycare

City Code 6.7.107 requires a leash in every park and public place outside the seven designated off-leash areas, and even those require dogs to be inoculated, licensed and not in breeding condition. Garden of the Gods and Red Rock Canyon have unfenced dog runs for voice-controlled dogs, which is wonderful if yours is one, and a reason to pick a daycare with real outdoor yards if it is not. A city licence through HSPPR is $20 a year altered.

Weather days

The Springs averages over 32 inches of snow a year and a July high near 87°F, so the indoor-outdoor balance decides how many daycare days are full-value. Dogtopia and Camp Bow Wow are climate-controlled with outdoor yards; Mountain Dogs mixes concrete and turf indoors and out; Under The Sun's pool is seasonal. Ask what happens on a 15°F morning or a 95°F afternoon.

Every daycare above, with hours and confirmed policies, is in the Colorado Springs dog daycare directory. The Colorado Springs hub lists the city's off-leash areas and leash rules.
