We absolutely love Happy Tails. They take great care of our pups when we go out of town. My dogs are high energy nutcases and they are still invited back so 5 stars from us. Staff is always friendly and patient, and they are great at managing not-amazing dog behavior. They even send report cards with pictures! read more

Happy Tails Dog Ranch - Pet Sitting Near Me - Berthoud, Colorado

We booked a 6 night stay with our pups being kenneled together and they require separate eating. We booked them together and was supposed to get a discount. Upon returning from our trip, we were advised no discount because they had to be separated to eat and that took up another kennel. A conversation beforehand would have been nice. And then multiple attempts at follow up with absolutely no response. Very disappointed. read more

This place is fantastic and has so many great reviews for a reason. I started taking my Schnauzer / Yorkie mix, Xena (1 year and 1/2), as I noticed she was incredibly shy and timid around bigger dogs. She grew up around 2 malinois and loved them, but other dogs she seemed very scared and she also needed more socialization with other people. After a bad experience with another doggie daycare that kept her cooped up in a "bay" all day, this place was has been amazing. The facility is set up so that she has her own kennel and area, but she can go out and play as much as she chooses to. She's only been a handful of times and I already notice increased confidence and l less timid around bigger dogs and new people. The staff are very nice and seem like they take really good care of her. She doesn't want to go in the morning, but comes back wagging her tail looking happy. Highly recommend! read more

I heartily recommend Happy Tails Dog Ranch. The staff are very friendly and attentive to the pups, there are huge play yards, and they send "report cards" so you can see how your pup is doing. I have an older girl and I was worried she would be sad and cranky, but she had the time of her life! Look at that smile! This is my new go-to place for boarding even though it is 40 minutes away. Worth the drive! read more

We have been taking our two Sheepadoodles to Happy Tails for a little over a year. They always have and when they get extra dirty from all the fun playtime, Happy Tails rinses them off and cleans their paws! We love that Betthiud read more

What an amazing place. Our dogs love Happy Tails Dog Ranch. We won't go anywhere else. The staff and faculty is fabulous.

We love Happy Tails! Gemma gets so excited to see the staff she literally tries to launch out of the car before I have her unhooked. The staff is amazing. The facilities and grounds are beautiful. We are so happy here! read more

It was really hard for me to leave my Rossy dog for boarding when we left town for two weeks, but Happy Tails made his first boarding experience a good one! They updated us every few days with a report card that let us know what he was up to and included some pictures of him having fun with his new friends, which was really reassuring. It out my mind at ease every time we got some pictures, especially when we noticed most of them included the staff playing with him. We picked him up hours ago and he still hasn't moved a muscle he's so exhausted, which is the mark of a good play time! He's covered in scrapes which tells me he was outdoors playing as well- if I had a human child I wouldn't expect them to come in from playing without scraped knees once in awhile. The facilities are absolutely beautiful, the staff seemed really interactive with the pets, and my dog can't even lift his head he played so hard for two weeks. Whenever we leave town again we know who we can trust with our very favorite thing! read more

I love happy tails!! We just moved to the Denver area and have only boarded our 3 1/2 year old lab once, ever. I was a nervous WRECK! Berthoud is 43 miles north of us, but my husband and I saw the reviews and was like.. worth it! I drive 45 minutes each way and will continue to do so! The staff is INCREDIBLY kind and intuitive. The facility is gorgeous and clean. They even send you "puppy report cards" with pictures of them playing. I love this place! read more

I have been taken no my pups for three years and the staff is always so nice and helpful. The turn onto Happy Tails drive gets tails wagging and they come home so happy and tired after a day of playing with their friends!! The mid day report card is a wonderful bonus and I always recommend Happy Tails dog ranch to anyone looking for a place to care for their pups. read more

My dogs love love loves Happy Tails (and me too)! Every time Fletcher needs boarding, I drive up from Denver to take him to Happy Tails. I love getting Fletcher's "report cards" and seeing photos of him while he is there. He always leaves with a smile on his face! read more

A very nicely run kennel. Very knowledgeable and friendly staff. Our two two dogs were quite happy and in great hurry to leave! read more

I had just moved to Colorado from Iowa last month & was looking for a place my dog would enjoy for daycare & this place did that! Not only are they affordable, but they really care about your dogs. They even send you pictures of how they are doing. My dog HATED going to the dog park before I brought him to Happy Tails & now he absolutely LOVES it! read more

I have been taking my dog to Happy Tails for Daycare for a few months and I couldn't be happier with the way they interact with him and how happy (and tired) he is when I pick him up. He loves to play with the other dogs all day and even though he is generally reluctant to interact with people, he loves the staff. I had concerns about his pads getting torn from running so much after the first time I picked him up and ever since they they put Mushers on his pads and he hasn't had any issues. Highly recommend this place for your furry family members! read more

Happy Tails is amazing! My dog has a lot of anxiety and has come back from every other dog boarding place with hot spots from stress. He's now gone to Happy Tails twice and both times has come back healthy and happy! Everything about the this place leaves me confident that he's in really good hands. It makes our trips away from him just a little bit easier. read more

When we dropped off our 5 month old German Shepherd for a few nights of boarding while we went on vacation, I was almost jealous that her "vacation" was going to be better than mine! Happy Tails is located on a gorgeous plot of open land with a farm and a great view! We were greeted by friendly staff as soon as we arrived. Every other day we received a report card of what our pup was up to in addition to some pictures of her playing with her new friends. This helped me feel more comfortable with how she was doing and that we left her with the right people! read more

The folks at Happy Tails are the best! I take my very rambunctious 95 lbs boxer/mix for daycare a few days a week (and have done so for over a year). He always comes home happy and tired. The folks at Happy Tails are always helpful, kind and really know how to deal with different types of dogs (including a 90 plus pound crazy energetic boxer!). I always recommend them to folks in need of daycare or boarding services. read more

This place is located in an open space w the beautiful views, so the drive is nice. The pens are clean and nice (although still smelly ))) and outdoors. They have a smaller area and larger area depending on the size and age of the dogs. The staff is very helpful and nice. They also offer free puppy Friday's which is a big plus for us as we have a 4 m o puppy. We are very pleased with the place and will definitely recommend it. read more

Happy Tails is the best! I'm so glad to have found a place I can leave our big guy where it doesn't feel like a kennel. It is worth the drive from Boulder for sure. The staff are super friendly and organized, the online reservation system is helpful and easy to navigate, and the process is simple and flexible. I've had to make changes to my reservations at the last minute as a result of COVID a few times in the last year and they've always been super responsive and flexible. The play yards are also huge and natural with plenty of shade. This place is a gem. Highly recommend. read more

My dog and I love Happy Tails! The staff members are so sweet and genuinely love the dogs. I love the updates and photos they send when Bella stays overnight! Our dog comes home happy and exhausted every time! read more

Clean and spacious, it really is a ranch where dogs can safely roam and play in a professionally supervised setting. I brought Meeka here after seeing she was experiencing some anxiety. She enjoyed the day long activities, which included a midday rest period, followed by more playtime. She came home so relaxed, and it was heartening to know she made some friends. This is above all the best dog daycare program I have encountered thus far. The staff is courteous, accommodating and friendly. You can rest assured your dog is well looked after and safe in their care. The day rate is quite affordable, too. This is a dog destination spot well worth checking out. read more

MY 2 PITTIES AND I LOVE HAPPY TAILS! We have been going to them since moving to Loveland in September 2017. I trust the staff and know my dogs are well taken care of whether its daycare on Fridays for extra playtime and exercise or boarding them for a couple days while I'm out of town. read more

Update: Since leaving my previous review, Kristi at Happy Tails Dog Ranch has reached out to me and done everything possible to make the situation right. I've changed my review to 4 stars. I can't in all fairness give a 5, because the incident did happen and can't be undone, but I am thoroughly impressed with the professionalism of the owner/management of this company. Thank you for your prompt and professional response. read more

Happy dogs and great staff! We've been taking our dogs here for several years. Love the new look! Our two dogs went to the ranch for an extended weekend. A little reluctant about our one dog who we though might not get along with some of the others. Much to our surprise, we received several report cards showing our dogs playing with the other dogs in the yard. read more

I make the drive from Denver to Happy Tails because it is hands down the best boarding experience for my dog. Lots of natural outdoor space to run and run and run, which my dog LOVES. The people working there are wonderful and it's obvious they love my dog and that thy are happy campers! read more

The staff at Happy Tails in Berthoud are great. I brought my dogs there for an "evaluation" play date. They came home tired! I received a progress report during the day showing me how much fun my big mutts were having with the other dogs. It was great and my dogs seemed happy when I picked them up. I evaluated them because I will be boarding them for a few days next week (week of Jan 13, 2019). Pleased with the services they offer and their prices are fair. I feel comfortable knowing my dogs will be in good care while I am unavailable to them in the coming week. read more

Absolutely love this place!! I have a 70lbs puppy and he loves coming here. They have a huge yard where he can wear himself out, a trainer on-site who does a great job, the kennel floors are heated, and they will also give my pup a rinse if he gets really dirt at no charge. Everyone is so nice and so good with my baby that he actually whines a little bit when we leave. Basically if you are looking for a place to take your pup somewhere this is the place! read more

I just moved to Windsor and I thought it would take me forever to get to Berthoud but it was only 15 min. It is easy to see why they called it Happy Tails because of the setting! They have A LOT of enthusiastic dog lovers there taking care of your pets so any apprehension that I had went away. It was clean too. My dogs spent 2 night there and they came home without me feeling like I should stop at the groomer! They will have my business forever! read more

I absolutely love Happy Tails, and so do my girls. I know Violet loves the huge outdoor space and Marla loves the snuggles she gets from the staff. The best part is that they post pictures online for you to check out during their stay. It's worth the drive from Denver for me, 100%! read more

What a great escape for our pups. Much more room to run and play. The staff is awesome as well.

I really appreciate these guys, my Apollo is 4 and I've watched them continue to put money into making this a great facility for dog care and boarding. Most importantly, I know he's safe and got to play on grass (mostly grass) and he's tired! read more

I have been very happy with Happy Tails Dog Ranch. I have been taking my dogs to daycare there for 8 years now. I love the big yards so they have lots of room to run. The people are wonderful and I love to see the pictures on Facebook! read more

Happy Tails is truly a great place for my babies! Love getting pics of them having fun and knowing they are in good hands. Thank you!

My dogs have stayed here twice now. Once last year and once this year, both around 9 days for each stay. My dogs LOVE this place! They are let out in the large play yard. My dog loves to fetch and someone will throw the ball for him for hours! The report card texts with photos are great too. They get a bath prior to pickup and are always happy and healthy on return. read more

Excellent facility. I have 2 dogs and they both love going here for daycare and boarding. My one dog has extreme anxiety and is on meds...the staff takes great care of her and she settles right in. They come home happy and tired! read more

I couldn't have been happier with the attention and care Sammy received during his evaluation day at Happy Tails. Sammy, a rescue, shows some signs of separation anxiety. The staff greeted Sammy in a very gentle and caring way upon his arrival. The pictures and report card I received midday, was reassuring that all was well. When I inquired about boarding, Tyler was a wonderful guide... knowledgable, attentive, and enthusiastic, he walked me through the facility, explaining what Sammy's day and overnight stay would be like. Tyler addressed all major concerns a pet owner may have when leaving their pet. All of the staff I had the pleasure of interacting with were courteous, attentive, and caring. I look forward to Sammy's next visit! read more

We were in town for a few days during Christmas visiting family. Some of the things we wanted to do kept us out away from home. Happy Tails was a fantastic experience for my dog! She was able to go and play with dogs who had a similar size and temperament. The on-site trainers did a good job of placing her with a group of dogs that she enjoyed. My dog came home tired from a full day of play. And, a tired dog is a happy dog! Good job Happy Tails! read more

Happy Tails is my go to for overnight boarding. The team is very professional and friendly. I trust them completely with taking great care of my husky. If they were a bit closer to me, they'd also be my go to spot for daycare! read more

I am so happy that I found this wonderful place to board our dog. I have always struggled to find housesitters who would play with and love our dog the way we do. Now that I have found Happy Tails, I never worry about her being well taken care of. I love the report cards and pictures of her playing with her new friends. read more

Our 10 month old Aussie aka "Hallie" has tons of energy... we live in Estes Park with no fenced outdoor space so we were looking for somewhere that she could stretch her legs with like-minded dogs. No problem, plenty of outdoor space at Happy Tails for our high energy famiy member to air it all out!! We loved the mid-day "report card" with photos. She was a happy camper at pick-up, but we were even happier campers later that night as we were allowed to relax as she slept. Better yet....she was tired the next day so we had an entire day of peace and quiet ourselves (home office)!! Happy Tails is Very professional, Very friendly, Very clean, Very buttoned-up and Very highcustomer service oriented. You cannot go wrong here. Thank you Happy Tails, we shall return!! PS we will be recommending Happy Tails to all of our own vacation rental clients who are looking for a top-notch kennel for their own fur family members!! read more
