Little Doggie Paradise

Have been going to this facility for over twenty years. Was concerned this time as my dog had two serious ilnesses prior to taking her there again. It had been a year and a half. I am happy to say that she came home as happy and well cared for as ever. Would absolutely recommend this kennel. They really care!

This place is the best of the best! My doggies are my babies and no one else that I’ve been too treats them like babies! One of my dogs is very scared to go with anyone but me, even though it takes her time to warm up at first every time we go by the time I pick her up she is so happy. My other doggie is a princess and is very particular about the way things are run but she is treated like a queen over there. Last doggie loves to play and she normally plays so much that when she gets home she is so pooped out she is able to relax and lounge around the house.

This is a great place if you have to board your small — medium sized doggies. I was going out of town for 5 days and was just over two weeks out from my trip when I found out the dog sitting company I used in the past had gone out of business and my neighbors had July 4^th travel plans already. So I took to the web in search for a dog boarding spot this time. I’ve gone to Bark-​Denver in the past, but they were booked for months. Of those who were available on such short notice, their prices were ridiculous and the reviews were a little sketchy.
In comes Little Doggie Paradise in Denver. Not only were they able to accept my reservation two weeks from July 4^th wkd., but their prices were WAY more ideal (because let’s face it, I should get to pay less to board a 6.5lb vs. a 50lb dog)! But since they specialize in small to medium dogs, I also knew that Lady be safer and wouldn’t be used as a chew toy, yay!
When I dropped her off, it was a very smooth process and I liked how you can see into the playrooms from the lobby. At some places they treat the lobby like a triage center to the ER and you can’t see what’s behind those closed doors! They also let you bring in your own food vs. forcing you to buy their food and they don’t require a pre-​visit. And the best part is I didn’t feel like a stalker when I called to check on Lady. They knew exactly what she’d been up to, who she made friends with and how she was doing without checking a chart or anything.
The ladies there were super nice, great to the dogs and they have a great set up. They told me it only took about 12 hours for Lady to be comfortable enough to let them pick her up (she has trust issues… LOL). But after that she got along great, was moved to the bigger playroom and even made a new Yorkie friend… I’m so proud of her! I’m totally treating her to daycare at Little Doggie Paradise more often!

I will start my review off like so: my dogs are my LIFE! They are the most important thing to me, and it’s super important that my dogs are treated well. I mean, come on, the less I stress about their care the better I feel.
I love the ladies here at little doggie paradise, because they take all my worries away and treat my dogs amazing!!! Every time I show up to pick them up, they don’t want to leave! This I appreciate because it shows they are comfortable and feel safe, which makes me feel safe too. They are always out playing, and keep you updated when annoying dog moms (like myself) call. They even give little report cards on long stays so you know how they did, which is fun to me. They love it here, and so do I. They even remember my pups even though its been a while since I have brought them back due to my lack of vacationing. You ladies are amazing and I will travel all over denver to make sure my dogs are with you when I vacation, no matter where I live in this town. Thank you so much!
Sincerely,
Coco, Eva, and rocky and their crazy dog mom ;)

We brought our little Morkie, Colt, here to be boarded a few weeks ago, and he had a great time! I was so nervous because he had never been boarded before, but Tyler reassured me that everything would be fine and helped me feel so much better about leaving Colt with them. He didn’t even make fun of me when I called the next day to see how Colt was doing! He gave me a full report, and put my mind at ease. When we picked Colt up a few days later, he seemed really happy! We love Little Doggie Paradise!

Judy and Geene had saved my doggie’s life! We always take Mopsy to them but as he is now 14 years old, he’d just passed out on their care, and Judy revived him giving him CPR and Geene took him to the animal hospital immediately at 6:30 AM. They called me an I was at home to take him already and now he is doing just fine. They are amazing! We are SO Greatful! Our Doggies are very lucky to have such a caring Team to look after them while we are gone. You are simply the Best! My other puppy Sophie is only 3 lbs and I know she is safe in the Little Doggy Paradise playing nonstop with puppies her own size and relaxing in the Cabanas. It is the only place I would trust to take my dogs, they love it!

My Jack Russell, Bobby, absolutely LOVES this place! He just turned 3 last month and has been going here an average of 3 times a week for the past 2 years. He gets so excited to go for his playtime, he will make a bee line from the car to the front door and jump up and down waiting to go in to see all his dog friends. The ladies who own the facility are super nice, loving and play with the dogs. There is an indoor play area as well as a sizable outdoor yard with grass. The dogs get playtime in both areas. I have also boarded Bobby here as well. It is truly his home away from home. And the prices are outstanding. Best deal in town!!!

I can’t give this place enough stars!
As an owner of a 4lb Morkie-​Poo it’s difficult to find daycares who will accept him because (1) he’s so little and can squeeze thru anywhere and escape (2) other dogs think he’s a bunny and he gets attacked!
I have gone to Little Doggie Paradise for over a year now and my pup absolutely loves it. He starts crying so hard out of excitement as soon as he can see the building clamoring to get out of the vehicle as he’s ready to go play! When I pick him up at the end of the day he instantly falls asleep on my lap as he is played out and exhausted!
Both of the owners are extremely nice and love my pup to pieces and it’s easy to see my pup’s love for them back as he’s jumping out of my arms to get into theirs when I drop him off. It makes me happy that they love my dog so much and it allows me to have peace during the day knowing he is well taken care of and in good hands.
I think this is a phenomenal idea for a daycare (specializing in little dogs) and I have never been disappointed with the service I have received or my pup has received.

This is our «go to» place to leave our Pug/​Boston terrier mix. He loves it and will run to the front door from the car on his own. I pick him up and always looks like he had a good time and was well fed. The price is also very reasonable. I have no issues whatsoever.

I have two miniature dachshunds that are… interesting to say the least. One is super friendly but the other is just kind of shy and can be a little more aggressive. Little Doggie Paradise has been AWESOME about taking care of my littlest guy and just giving him space and time. I take them about once a week and have been doing so for about 6 months. My dogs are always super tired when I pick them up and are just as excited to go every week. I feel like I also get more for my money here then the other places I have taken my dogs. I will definitely keep bringing them here.

I’ve been taking my little spaniel here for a few months now. She is EXTREMELY happy each time we arrive, so that’s a good sign. My fiancé and I also recently began boarding her ‘brother’, a little yorkie, who used to have some minor aggression issues with other dogs. He has been a perfect angel during daycare and I am very grateful that the staff was willing to try him out and did not turn him away. It’s been hugely therapeutic for him. They also let my baby girl get plenty of lap time, which for her is heaven. Just recently, I took both dogs to the facility only to find out that they were full due to the holiday a few days previous. Despite my mistake of not calling, they accepted the babies and did not tell us to leave, which I think was very nice of them.

I have a 5 pound dog named The Moose who LOVES this place! I don’t take him on a regular basis — just when he has more energy than I have time. He always leaves happy and sleepy. I love that they only take small dogs and they have an outdoor space for them to romp in the sunshine. Even the best behaved large dogs are too much when you’re 5% of their size.
I saw a couple of comments about the owners, but they have never been rude. While they may not be outgoing, they go out of their way to make sure my Moose is happy and that’s why I pay them. I am not looking for a suck up that doesn’t take care of my pooch. They did create a business card and magnet with Moose’s picture on it which was really thoughtful. I am a very protective dog mom and my dog is really high maintenance (cancer survivor, allergic to everything, and a bit of separation anxiety). They are great with him, and I wholeheartedly recommend them!

I wanted to update my review of Little Doggie Daycare. I have continued to bring Cassy to them for boarding when I go on trips, and I am still extremely happy with the service. My little pup is welcomed warmly when I drop her off, and she’s always exhausted and happy when I pick her up. I love that they let her play ALL DAY! I feel comfortable knowing she’s not lonely or bored — she perches in the top of the playset or in the nearest lap if possible. Again, this is a matter of principle for me as I believe dogs should be allowed to play all day — I shouldn’t be nickel-​and-​dimed for my pup to get some love and fun!
This place is privately-​owned and I really appreciate the personal feeling of it. Now that I have been going for so long, I’ve gotten to know the owner a little better and she is wonderful. I’ve recommended this place to others and will continue to do so.

I have been taking my dogs here for about 3 years now. I do not live nearby, but they take such good care of my boys that it’s worth the drive. I agree that the owner is not extremely cordial, but she takes great care of my dogs, and that’s why I keep returning. My dogs are not always the most social, but in this atmosphere, they love playing with all the other dogs. I pick them up and they are absolutely exhausted. I really leave them and don’t worry about them at all!

I recently took my dog to this place for a daycare and they LOST my dog! She escaped out of their front door and they were unable to catch her. She ran across Parker Road and Iliff which are two very busy roads.
I ended up searching and posting posters all over the neighborhood where she was last seen and fortunately got a call from a good samaritan the following day. She was missing for 28 hours but is now safe. Hands down one of the WORST experiences in my life. I will never take any dog there again and I would recommend you don’t either.

This place is fantastic for little dogs. Yes, it takes a while to get to know Joanie, the owner, but she’s just quiet and probably a little shy. She makes up for it by having wonderful, outgoing, dog-​loving employees who are often also vet techs or students from nearby Bel-​Rea. LDD has also made a supreme effort lately at sprucing up their. . um.. . digs. There’s a cute doggie/​rainbow mural on the wall replacing the old fox and hound wallpaper, new tile flooring where the dogs hang out, and a play structure. My weiner dog, Krypto, and pug, Mia, have happily gone her for four years. We buy the multi-​dog pack and also the overnight boarding pack. I wouldn’t hesitate to send anyone and their little dog here. Great business and am really happy they’re in my ‘hood.

I’ve been going to this daycare for about a year and a half now. Ever since I realized that the mellow dog I thought I adopted was actually the most hyperactive dog on the face of the planet.
It was great for Zed for about 8 months. I would take him twice a week in the morning, he would play all day and come home tired. Then one of the employees left and I haven’t really had the same great experience since then.
In the last few months, I have been using their boarding services over the weekend. That’s 3 days of what should be crazy dog socialization and play time. He should be exhausted when I pick him up.
But he isn’t. Instead, he is ravenous for attention, extremely wound up and usually has a case of diarhea. I suspect that the new employees (and the owner, the most grumpy woman I have ever been forced to interact with) are simple putting him in one of the cages and leaving him there most of the week only letting him out for a few minutes at a time to go to the bathroom.
So, I am taking my business elsewhere, to a place that will let my pup run around like the crazy maniac he is so he isn’t a crazy maniac when I get home.
