This place is amazing!! They took such great care of our pups and we highly recommend. Every single staff person we met was so nice and you can really tell they care about the animals here. Their tour was extremely transparent so we knew exactly where our pups would be staying and playing. Their facility is extremely clean- not at all gross like other dog kennels. After their overnight stay, our dogs came back so tired (in a good way!) We could tell they had a blast. Thank you for taking great care of our fur babies doggie dude ranch!! We will be back!!

Totally awesome!!!I can not say enough on how fantastic this place is. I have a big dog about 100 pounds, but he is goofy, doesn’t bark much, happy, loving, likes to hang with little dogs, kinda scared of the big dogs. They assessed him without me mentioning it and put him with the smaller dog. They post pictures daily. Super clean! They washed him the day of pick up, put a bandanna on him, took pictures and gave them to me, gave him a hug treat bag, I cannot say enough. I love this place!!!PS: the boarding page on the website has a glitch. Better to call.Friendly kind staff! Super clean! Have a pool during seasons!!!!!

I booked my 9 month old pup in for a nearly month long stay as I was heading to my home country for my first post-covid visit. I felt so awful and guilty leaving her for so long, and so nervous that it would be detrimental to her development. But then I toured the place and heard about their approach from the owner and felt like she'd be okay.It was lovely seeing the (almost) daily pics they post on their Facebook - so reassuring to see her play and look happy!Although my pup is so sweet, she can get over-stimulated really easily so I was amazed that she's come back more calm, happy and able to self-regulate than she ever has been. It's truly amazing to see! And I know it's all due to The Doggie Dude Ranch's wonderful approach and your fantastic staff. You will forever have my gratitude.

Best camp for dogs in Denver. They can handle our very energetic pup with ease and lots of love! He loves going to DDR! Scheduling is super easy and flexible - service is bar none. Everyone is incredibly friendly! We always travel with peace of mind knowing our lovebug is in excellent hands.

We love taking our dogs here! Having two rescue pups, I was nervous about boarding them. We started off with day care first then boarding and the pups absolutely love it! They have so much fun with the other dogs and i love the schedule and great communication the staff provides. We couldn’t be happier & we are so happy Mika & Koda have a safe fun place to go!

If you are bringing your sweet pups and kitties anywhere else you should reconsider--our dog is so in love with the staff, activities and overall care offered at Doggie Dude Ranch. They are dedicated to customer service and we LOVE their commitment to being focused on the pets in their care for one price. No "upcharges" for playing and lots of love. They also take care of their human friends with lots of photos of their little loves during their stay and complimentary drinks that are much appreciated after a long day of travel.

This is the perfect place to leave your four-legged family. Lots of play time, pool, for the swimmers, and shallow pool for non swimmers. Your dog will be treated like royalty.

We boarded our dog for 12 days and we felt happy thinking he was enjoying himself through the pictures posted on Facebook. Today our dog arrived with a deep wound on his side. The urgent care facility told us that this probably happened 2-3 days ago and if treated on the spot the wound would have been stitched up. Now he has to spend 14 days indoors sedated with a cone waiting for the wound to heel.The facility never informed us nor checked him at all. Very disappointed, angry and never again paying $50 a day for such bad care.

Our pups love this place and so do we. As an overprotective pet parent, finding a place you trust is really challenging. After trying out a few other boarding facilities in the Denver Metro we were luckily recommended the Doggie Dude Ranch. We scheduled a tour and knew right away this was it. We’ve boarded our dogs there from overnight trips to 2 week vacations. They’ve taken such great care of our girls and we know from the daily photos they share that our fur babies are having the time of their lives. The pick up and drop off service has been great when we’re in a pinch. Everyone else loves them too so schedule with them as early as possible to get a reservation.

There is no better place to give our pup his own vacation while we are away on ours. The daily photos are so cute that I can't help but to scroll through all of the happy animals even when ours is home with us :-)What a gem of a resort!

AMAZING! We just picked our dog up from a 4 night stay. They took care of our Bean as if he was a member of their family. He was even sent home with the cutest care package and some pictures. We will definitely be bringing Bean back for another stay! We are so happy to have found you!

If I could give them 100 Michelin stars I would - the quality of care and security your pup gets here is unmatched. I hadn't had the best luck at other doggie daycare centers so I was nervous but hopeful bringing my pup here. They post daily pictures so you know your pup is in great hands, they treat you and your pup like their own, the facility is always clean and the staff is always super organized and responsive. This place is truly a home away from home and I am forever grateful to have found them.

Best doggie hotel we have found! They clearly love each dog as their own and my pup is so excited for his stay every time we pull in.

This is the absolute best facility in the Denver metro area. We happily drove 45 minutes here because we knew they would always take care of our dog.We recently moved out of CO. As we are looking for a new kennel, The Doggie Dude Ranch has set the standard that we are comparing new places to. The owner and staff knew us and our dog by name immediately. We were given a tour of the facility (big red flag if places won't).We always trusted that our dog would be well cared for while she was staying at The Doggie Dude Ranch and O'Cat Corral. They accommodate any dietary needs you might have. Our dog, who can be anxious and antisocial, was gently introduced to the group and made friends she would see week after week.Seriously. This is the best place. We'd always be sent home with fresh baked treats or some other goodies. Plus, they post pictures of playtime on Facebook everyday. Our dog Kiva and us already miss this place and hope to find a place that comes close in our new city.

We left our two dogs for 8 nights and had a wonderful experience compared to other boarding facilities we’ve used in the past. The photos of the dogs they post daily clearly show the time and care they put into every pup, the facility has plenty of outside space for the dogs to run around, and the staff have been really friendly and pleasant to interact with.

Our dogs love it here! They’re safe and well taken care of, I couldn’t ask for more. Also definitely try to grooming service, they do an amazing job!

This place is amazing! They take such good care of our dog that it’s worth the long drive from Denver. Ideal for us when we’re leaving town from the airport. They have a pool for the dogs in the summer that’s perfect. The space where the dogs sleep is VERY nice compared to any other kennel I’ve ever seen.

Update: still the BEST! New dog (puppy) new daycare needs. I love the easy to navigate online reservation system. I truly love all the friendly faces who greet our pets. All questions are answered thoroughly, there is a ton of space for your dogs to run and play. Am hoping my pup will get used to water....they have a large pool and a smaller pool for dogs who may want to just "dip a toe". Professional, caring, and my pup is happily dog tired at the end of the day.Absolutely outstanding experience every time we have taken our pets. We have boarded three cats and two dogs. We've used their doggie day care and also have boarded our dogs overnight. Every experience has been wonderful. The staff is friendly, attentive, warm and professional. I can actually RELAX when I take my pets in, and they come home rested and played-out. Highly recommended, and I won't take my pets anywhere else!

Guys. This place is the absolute best. Creme de la creme of dog boarding. The customer service is amazing, staff is so sweet. Louie came home bathed, happy, relaxed and tired after a week there. It made our vacation so much more relaxing to know he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!!

So happy with the experience we had boarding our lab here! They took great care of our pup Shiner. I was very impressed by the daily pictures and gift bag when we picked him up! So cute. And complimentary bath!!Plus, their email communication and registration process was impressive. Will definitely take him back in the future!

They take special care of my bulldogs as they do with all dogs. I hate having to board my dogs but it eases the anxiety see how much fun they had at the end of the day.

This place is amazing. Their customer service is unmatched, and you can see by the pictures online, that the dogs are all happy and active. Recently our dog stayed here, and somehow our leash went missing (maybe in transit when he was picked up, but we don't know). The Doggie Dude Ranch replaced his exact leash right away without us even asking. We had a backup and it wasn't a big deal at all, but one day shortly after our dog's stay there, we received a brand new leash from them. Their pick up and drop off of our dog also makes life easier. No question that our pets now and in the future will exclusively be staying here anytime we're out of town. Thanks to the entire staff over there at the Ranch!

My jack russel Yogi loves Doggie Dude Ranch! The staff is fantastic! They treat their dog guest like family and I trust them 100% with Yogi. Beautiful big property in Watkins! They take good care of their facility. It’s clean , the creates are well taken care off, always clean , and organized. The playgrounds are well maintained. I enjoy their daily Facebook photos, It’s peace of mind knowing that my dog and all his dog friends are having a great time at the ranch. Thank you Doggie Dude Ranch for taking good care of my fur baby! The best boarding facility in the Denver area.

There are no words to describe what an amazing job the wonderful people at Doggie Dude Ranch do with regards to taking care of my dogs. I have been bringing my dogs here for many years and they never cease to amaze me with the love, care, and attention they provide my pups! They are simply THE BEST in every way!!!After learning about the new management/ownership changes that have recently taken place, and especially after reading a negative review stating the new managers are unprofessional as well as the cleanliness of the facility was poor, I was very hesitant to bring my dogs back. I tend to believe and rely on customer reviews, although I had a very hard time believing what I read.I decided to call and speak with the new owner, Melanie, to see if there was any truth to the negative review. I was fully expecting to be highly unimpressed, however after speaking with Melanie about my concerns, I could tell right away that the review I read was grossly inaccurate.Melanie could not have been more professional, responsive, kind, or caring! She reassured me that my dogs would be in great hands, and I could tell right away that she is very passionate about providing THE BEST care and experience possible for her furry guests.I decided to move forward and give Doggie Dude Ranch another chance to impress me… and impress me they did! As always!I booked my five-year-old German Shepherd and seven month old labrador retriever for an eight day vacation/dog party while my family and I took a much-needed vacation to Florida.Although our vacation was AMAZING, I believe my dogs had an even better vacation than myself and my family did! We very much appreciated and looked forward to seeing all the pictures they post on their Facebook page daily, proving what an amazing time our dogs were having. I’ve never seen such a big smile on either of their faces, in every photo, every day they were there!When my dogs were brought home by the stagecoach service, they had been freshly bathed and came home with tons of delicious treats and wonderful new toys! They also sent home many photographs of our dogs having the time of their lives! So stinking cute!!The staff at Doggie Dude Ranch could not be more amazing!!!I am so glad we decided to give the new owners a chance to take care of our dogs! They could not have possibly done a better job, and we will definitely be bringing our dogs back every time we head out of town!Thank you so much Melanie and everyone at Doggie Dude Ranch! You made our vacation enjoyable and worry free.Meredith J.

My dog seemed to have a great time and the staff were super nice and excited to have him. They also gave me the goofiest photos and an awesome goodie bag! It's a little far for us, but we'll definitely make the journey again for longer stays!

I can't say enough great things about this place. Our 2 labs were so well taken care of and loved. Their vacation was as fun as ours. We weren't sure they would want to come home! They were groomed, had clean bedding, swam in an in-ground pool daily, chased tennis balls, and were loved. We are so grateful to the Ranch. Being able to see professional quality photos of our dogs on Facebook reassured us that they were having a great time. What an awesome place!!! We have no hesitation bringing our dogs back while on vacation, which is a great feeling.

The only place I will ever board my dog 🐕 Cole. I had surgery and thought I would be good enough to have my boy back home.After he was back for a day that was not the case. After that realization and a snafu they came the next day to pick him up and he is back to the best vacation spa- I wish I could spa there. I have boarded my boy there several times for very extended stays and I sleep well at night knowing someone is on site 24/7. Best place ever. Pool is awesome. People really interact with our pets. I hear Cole had a girlfriend there to boot.

I left my husky/shepherd with the Doggie Dude Ranch team for 15 days and couldn’t be more pleased. I loved knowing he was able to play outside and not in just a concrete play room like most boarding places have. This was the only place my vet recommend so I trusted they were reputable from the get go- and now it’s the first place I’ll call! A little out of the way, but the piece of mind is so worth it.

I have used the Doggie Dude Ranch for the past 2 years and my dog has stayed at least 5 times in those 2 years. The staff are great the check out process is quick. If you don't want to drive out to the location they will pick up and drop off your pet for a reasonable fee. I enjoy seeing the pictures on Facebook and the pictures/ doggy snacks that are sent home after the stay. They have the best prices in the Denver area.
