This was the first time I boarded my dog, and I felt like I left it with family. They invited me to tour their grounds. They let me me call has many times as I need to to check on my dog. They were absolutely amazing.

We travel over 3 hours to board our dogs at Playful Pooch. The staff is friendly, caring, and very interested in each pet. They will truly go the "extra mile" to help a pet and the pet's owner. The facility is the cleanest I have ever seen. Our dogs are happy when we pick them up.

I love the playful pooch, as does my dog! All you really need to do is meet the owners, and you will know your dog is in great care. For those that are more detailed oriented, here is a breakdown of reasons I trust my dog with them for every vacation:
-The owners. We completely trust our dog with them. They very clearly love dogs, and only hire others who feel the same. That is the first and most important reason. This is the one thing all other places are missing.
-The place is spotless. On our tour, I smelled only soap, which is a nice change from some places.
-They allow tours at any moment, not only on specific hours or by appointment (they have nothing to hide). Many places have specific hours or are by appointment only.
-The employees walking around with the dogs, squirt bottle in hand, watch very closely and make sure all play stays friendly. This made us confident that if another dog gets too rough, or if our dog gets too rough, she will be corrected and taught better manners. There was no couch in the area, etc for the dog watcher to relax on, meaning they were always working and always watching. We have seen some where the person is just sitting on a couch in the corner texting their friends.
-The pricing is reasonable. Not the cheapest, but also not the most expensive. Considering the service and the trust you get, it's worth the extra money to go with them.
-This one seems like a small reason, but it really isn't. We were in the middle of researching dog food for dog, when we discovered our dog food (one of the most expensive at the pet stores), wasn't actually good food. That very week, we dropped off our dog and they gave us a bunch of information on dog food and let us know that our current food was not good food. This shows that they care about the long term health of the dogs (and on the same page as us). To add to it, it wasn't even for a quick sale, as they even suggested other places to get the food in bulk.
-Overall, there is just a general feeling that they love what they do at the Pooch!
Now they are also offering free pet education classes as well!

Our dog Furgie loves to spend time at the Playful Pooch. It is obvious that Will, Brenda and the rest of the staff care for their furry clients as more than just dogs at a boarding business. It amazes me that Furgie is always happy to jump out of the car and run inside.
Will and Brenda are also very accommodating when plans change and are very proactive with phone calls when necessary.

My boyfriend and I just boarded our dog at Playful Pooch over the weekend for the first time and can not speak highly enough about them! They are super friendly and we were very pleased to see our dogs balanced, yet exhausted, mood when we picked him up. We will definitely be back!!

Wonderful, helpful, caring people! We are so thankful to have a great place to leave our dog when we leave town. We also use their day care occasionally- it gives our high-energy dog the exercise and play time he needs, even if we have a particularly busy week.

This place gives you a comfortable feeling. They where very acomadating for my 2 big pals. What every your pets need in extra care they are willing to make it happen. Tremendous people who truly do this out of love. I would recommend this place to all my pet loving friends.

We just moved to Denver and toured several other places nearby that were not as nice as Playful Pooch. Our dogs spent the weekend and had a great time. The place is spotless and Brenda and Will are very friendly. We are so happy to find a great place for our dogs to stay at when we are out of town.

Will (Junior) Miller and I go back a L-O_O_O_N-G way and I know the kind of dilligent, hardworking, overall BRAIN -of-GUY HE is! If anyone can tame, train, pamper, or just plain care for a group of dogs like they were people, (and aren't all our dogs thought of that way), HECAN. I have always held the utmost respect and admiration for this guy, and feel he and his lovely wife will give any pet brought thru their doors the BEST environment any of us would want our special animals left with. Growing up with Will, he's the best bang for your buck and trustworthy as they come.

I have known Will Miller since childhood and I know what an ethical, trustworthy person he is. I would trust him with ANY of my pets, and I LOVE my dogs like they are my children! I have no doubt that he runs a reputable business, where his clients, (both 2 and 4 legged), concerns come first.

They have a very knowledgeable and dedicated staff.
Playful Pooch Dog Daycare & Boarding
Staff has been great with our dog, really involved and patient in getting past some of his behavioral problems; they have really worked hard to make him feel comfortable and they keep him active during his whole stay; great for doggie daycare as well as overnight stays; he always comes home completely exhausted from playing so hard

We started taking our "troublesome", but sweet West Highland Terrior, Duffy, to Playful Pooch last year. Duffy was having troubles socializing with other dogs and was not doing well in kennel situations. We had gotten to the point where Duffy was not welcome back at several kennels. Brenda and Will Miller, the owners, called me after they had heard that Duffy was having issues and offered to help us by working with him at Playful Pooch. Duffy is a sweet dog and a member of our family, but we were at our wits end.
Brenda and Will Miller, and their team at Playful Pooch, worked with Duffy every Thursday trying to get him used to being around other dogs. Despite some frustrating moments, I'm sure, Brenda and Will continued to have faith in our "big" attitude, napoleon complex, little dog. Brenda and I have probably spoken over the phone a cummulative of 6-7 hours as we worked through some possible solutions.
Today Duffy is welcomed member of the Playful Pooch family, is able to play with dogs in our neighborhood, and an even more loved member of our family. We thank Brenda, Will and the team at Playful Pooch for all their support, patience and love with Duffy and us! They are truly Amazing and deserve to be top on the A-List - they are in our book! Love - the Boehm Family oxoxoxox
