Skiptown has it all...a bar & park (with both indoor and outdoor parks), daycare, boarding & grooming. To access the bar & park there is a membership fee. The location is easy to get to with plenty of available parking. However, I wish there was a doggy potty area by the entrance, it's just concrete. The hours are fantastic, from 6AM - 9PM. I have only used the day care service. Note, if you drop off before 7AM and/or pick up after 7PM there is an additional $10 fee. Skiptown is the only place I've found in the Denver area with daycare pick up after 7 PM. Most of the time when I drop off other than early morning there has been a wait for my dog to taken back. To get started you need to download the app. Everything is done thru the app - scheduling daycare, payments, vaccination records & arranging a first time observation visit, which is required. The staff is super friendly & attentive. There have been a couple times that Skiptown called with concerns about my dog. And that I greatly appreciated. Overall, a great choice for doggy daycare. read more

Dog loved her first visit but the review is solely based on my experience, not hers. The app isn't super clear on drop offs for first time assessments. Evidently you have to drop off during a very narrow window (7-815) which is great if you live in city limits & between Colfax and North Denver....not as great if you live in a northern suburb & are looking for a day care nearish to downtown. The staff that greeted me was a bit standoff-ish and not super friendly. I booked a drop off on a saturday (or thought i did at least) & has stopped by around 10 ...nope that's when i was informed about the narrow window and that "the app can be glitchy"... Speaking of the app, i was under the impression her first play was free, but was charged $45 for the visit...it's a cool concept but a bit pricey especially for those rare visits when i need something closer to where im going to be instead of her usual day camp. read more

Came to the bar and park during the 100 degree heat wave. Great to see the misters and water features. Staff was very kind and attentive!

I boarded my dog here for one night and left with serious concerns about their basic standards of care. I provided pre-portioned meals with clear written instructions and confirmed them twice -- once over the phone before drop-off and again in person. The instructions were simple and routine. Despite that, my dog was not fed dinner, and her breakfast instructions were only partially followed. More concerning, when I reached out after noticing their app did not show her dinner as completed, I was told she had been fed. That information was incorrect. I also did not receive any of the updates or reports that were expected during her stay, and my message to support went unanswered for approximately 9 hours. At pickup, I was handed back her untouched dinner along with the remaining portion of her breakfast, confirming the instructions had not been followed. When I raised this with staff, the only resolution offered was a credit toward a future stay. This experience reflects a breakdown not just in communication, but in executing the most basic responsibilities of pet care. read more

Skiptown - Misinformation - Dog Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Skiptown is honestly one of Krypto's favorite places. He somehow always knows when we're pulling up and gets so excited, whether it's for daycare or to hang out at the bar/park with me. I love that when I drop him off for daycare, I get a Skipper Report with photos and little updates about his day--like who he played with, his "besties," and just his overall mood. It makes me feel way more connected when I'm not there. And the photoshoots they offer are the cutest. I've definitely signed him up for those, too. I got Krypto when he was 12 weeks old, and once he was old enough, we had to try it (I kept seeing ads and was curious). As someone who's always loved dogs, fostered, and now is a dog mom, it really does feel like such a special place. I genuinely think going here and being around other dogs in a safe, social environment helped him become super confident and really good with other dogs, big or small. The staff (the Skippers) are honestly the best. Everyone's great, but I've especially gotten to know Cyndi, and it's been really nice having that familiarity. You can tell they genuinely care, and Krypto loves her!! Overall, he's just such a happy boy, and I feel like places like this make such a difference for dogs who enjoy being social. He's made so many little friends too--Juno, Disco, Nora, Bronco, Willa, Frank--which makes it even more fun to keep coming back! read more

Went here on a hot day hoping to have a place my pup could enjoy and not overheat. The website showed some water activities and indoor space. No water activities just a big open turf area that smelled of urine due to the heat. There is an inside area but concrete and has some tables. It's more of a social area for adults who have dogs than a place for dogs to socialize. The bar was ok. Overcharged on my drink. read more

Skiptown is such a fun spot! The concept of an off-leash dog park combined with a bar is super cool,you can relax with a drink while your pup runs and plays. Great vibes, friendly staff, and an awesome place to hang out with both dogs and himans read more

Skiptown - Dog Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This place is awesome. I wish there was one like this in every city. Since moving to the area we have met a lot of people just from coming here. And our dog has made 4/5 best friends. (The dogs literally start prancing towards each other when they see their friends) You get dog watchers that make a real effort to know every dog and their owners. The dogs play style and make sure the dogs are loved if no one is playing with them. Most of my morning is spent there sitting and working while getting to pet different dogs and then play with mine. Or just let him run around. The morning crowd is more working groups. And the afternoon and evening are more social gatherings people chatting and laughing while having a drink. The day care is on point. They give updates and pictures in the app. They classify the dogs play style so they can play with similar dogs. Which is great because ours likes to wrestle so he does not have to worry about not getting the attention during daycare. Everyone is uber nice and kind. I often talk with people who say how much they love this place. read more

Skiptown is truly a heaven for dogs and their owners. Although you don't have to have a dog to enter! They have a full bar/dog park, as well as boarding and grooming. Super fun to take your dog there and enjoy a drink or two after work (or while you work, they have WiFi!). Make sure to check this place out if you're looking for a dog friendly activity read more

We had such a great time and our pup loved it! We are from San Diego so just popped in a few times while we were in town but I wish they had a location in San Diego cause I would be there everyday. read more

What a great concept - off leash pups, doggy bouncers and bevvies of all kinds! Came here a few weeks ago with our doggo and while we're not sure if she had a good time or not (she's an anxious rescued Malinois and started off thinking we were dropping her off "at torture" then spent her time kinda playing kinda policing other dogs playing with the occasional under the picnic table shark attack mixed in) we certainly thought it was a good experience for her and the humans enjoyed themselves. While the entrance fee is a bit steep to make this a weekly spot, it's absolutely a cool place to mix in or bring visitors who don't have a place like this in their neck of the woods. Bonus points for having local brews and coffee drinks! Only downside is you have to be 21+ to go, so not a kiddo friendly location. read more

Great value for 15$ per mo membership. My dog loves it there, and I enjoy grabbing a beer while he makes friends. It's all dog people, the rules are simple and the staff is friendly and keeps things clean and minimize drama. As. So nice to not have dog dirt from the other local off-leash parks tracked into the car. Dogs learn dog etiquette from each other and their people do too. The rules: -Don't let your dog be a menace -pick up the poo (if you miss it, the staff "skippers" will get it. -no fetch -no shnacks. read more

Skiptown - Dog Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Amazing! Highly recommend. Incredible staff, fun dogs, great humans, and it's really assuring to know all the other dogs are healthy and monitored. My pup is 1 y/o and needed dog and human socialization--it felt a little intimidating at first, but the skipper staff are great at watching the dogs and keeping everyone safe. When I say "Skiptown" my dog RUNS to the back door, ready to go. read more

My one and only complaint about Skiptown is how I didn't come up with this concept sooner! If you're a dog owner and you're over 21, you will love this place. Skiptown is a dog lover's dream. I actually don't think you even need a dog to get in here, but of course, much better when you can bring your pup in here to tire them out. It's essentially a fully off-leash dog park with a bar that serves coffee, cocktails, beer, wine - all the yummy bevs, but highly recommend their Frozen Espresso Martini. They have membership options where you get unlimited access to their facilities and get discounts on their boarding, grooming, daycare, and training services. They do have drop-in too for $15/day per pup and fun fact: humans get in for free! My dog and I absolutely LOVE this place. A few musts before you get in here: it's 21 and up only and your dog has to be spayed or neutered with their vaccine records uploaded on the app before you can get in. All good things tbh! The space is clean and open and staff has always been warm and friendly and I love that they have "Skippers" all over keeping an eye on the dogs and making sure no one gets too rowdy/crazy/humpy. They're also great about picking up any #2s that are bound to happen and sanitizing the area immediately. Skiptown is pretty much my new fave hangout in Denver. Highly recommend! read more

Really great place to hang out with your dog. The staff are very friendly and great with dogs. The drink and snack bar is well stocked. They have cocktails, beer, sodas and coffee drinks. They also have big screen televisions so you can watch sports. Just don't wear any favorite shoes. You never know if a dog will decide to use you to potty. read more

Skiptown - Excellent dog park. - Dog Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Minders have favorite dogs. They look out for them and favor them. If there is an altercation, the attendants chastise the dogs they don't like, Even if the dog they like stated it. My pet caught pneumonia there and nearly died. They have communal drinking bowls and ply pools. Do not take your dog there if you want your dog to be healthy and safe. read more

This off-leash dog park in Denver has a full bar onsite... Last weekend, we took our dog, Forbes, to Skiptown Denver and this place had us all wagging our tails. This off-leash dog park in the heart of RiNo was more than just a playground for pups; it was a full-blown dog lover's paradise. Prior to visiting Skiptown Denver, we registered Forbes online and uploaded his vaccination records (this is required for all dogs prior to play or stay). As soon as we entered Skiptown Denver, Forbes's tail went into overdrive. The indoor/outdoor park was buzzing with happy pups, and Forbes immediately jumped into the action, making new friends and zooming around. Skiptown Denver provided the perfect environment for Forbes & all the other dogs. The spacious dog park offered ample opportunities for running, playing, and socializing. Skiptown had staff actively onsite monitoring dog play, water level in dog bowls, and cleaning up after the pups. While Forbes was busy with his doggy social calendar, we grabbed some beers and chilled at a table by the bar. Skiptown offered pretty much everything a dog owner could need, from daycare and boarding to grooming and training. They even had a walking service, so your pup can get their daily exercise fix. I highly recommend checking out Skiptown - your furry friend will thank you. read more

The best place I've ever been. Heaven on earth. SO many dogs. Good drinks, fun bingo, great atmosphere, and SO MANY DOGS.

If I could leave less stars I would. You have employees that don't know how to properly communicate with customers. As well as unsanitary conditions, be aware your pup may contract kennel cough while there. Awful experience I wish I could leave 0 stars. Take your pup and RUN somewhere else. read more

Skiptown - A view of the backside building facing the backyard patio bar. The outdoor area is huge, this was just the entrance part. - Dog Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I honestly can't believe I haven't left a review for Skiptown already. This is like my second home. Ever since it opened, I find myself here at least twice a week if not more. It's essentially a 21 and up bar in dog park, that also offers grooming and boarding on the side. You can drop in to the barn park for just $15 a visit or you can buy a yearly membership that's around $400, which gets you unlimited access as well as discounts on the other services. This is truly like a dog heaven. It's great to meet people and find a community of dog lovers. It gives your dogs an opportunity to run around and get their energy out while you can sit back and relax and enjoy a coffee, tea, beer cocktail, or any of the above . They also have tons of tables both inside and out outlets, so it's a great place to work remote. I can't say enough good things about this place. A question friends often ask me is "what if dogs get in a fight. "It's really not an issue here. Unlike a normal dog park, there are workers constantly rotating around making sure dogs aren't overly aggressive or getting too amped up . They also stop any dogs from humping and will spray down once your dogs pee or poop so that the facility stays clean. If there is an issue or a dog becomes aggressive (usually just form over stimulation), a worker will be there to mitigate the situation. If bad enough, the dog will be banned from the park until it goes through Skiptown's training program. But in the months and many visits that I've been here, I've never seen this be a problem. The dogs are happy and joyous when they're here. It's truly dog heaven. Also, all dogs must be up-to-date on all their vaccinations or else you will not be admitted. This helps you feel safe about the health of your dog when visiting as well. I highly recommend. read more

Skiptown - Dog Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Love this place, my dog loves this place. The bartenders could definitely be a little friendlier.

Staff banned us from signing our dog up for boarding or day care because apparently the dog handler had suspicion that our vacination doucument was falseified. (it was not) apparently the staff there are actually detectives and can determine what is a falsified document without any training or resources. After telling them I could provide documentation from our vet as well they refused and just insisted we were banned without any type of recourse or actions we could take to reverse this ban. Honestly glad we dodged a bullet here as I have seen hundreds of post about people's dogs being mistreated, neglected, or developing pneumonia read more

There's nothing like Skiptown in Denver! It's a great place where you can let your dogs run around and play off leash while you enjoy a cocktail, mocktail or coffee. While you have to keep an eye on your pups, they also have staff walking around making sure everyone is getting along...and picking up poop! All pets have to be vaccinated/spayed/neutered, so it's a safe environment. They also have grooming, daycare and boarding! read more

PLEASE DONT TAKE YOUR LOVES DOGS THERE!! I put my dog in boarding/daycareon Nov 1 and on Nov 3 my dog was attacked in day care. They called me to say it was not his fault and they were cleaning his puncture woundand he was in good spirits. They said they were not vets but he was just a puncture wound and other dog had been removed. I previously had take him to the mandatory day of day care as requiredI asked who was going to pay for vet care and they said everyone signs a waiver that they are not responsible for illness,injury or death as per GM Brad. When I picked him up again the said it was just a puncture wound and they were cleaning it. He would not eat at all. I took him to the vet with vomitting.diarrhea ,fever and lethargic. when the vet shaved his neck there was not 1 but 3 puncture wounds . He is on a lot of medication to control this and I hope the happy guy he was will return. I should have known better when you can't tour faculty and I called during night to check on him till we could fly home and no one answers. which they said people are there 24/7. I trusted this company to take care of my loved dog but this didn't happen. please don't take your dog there read more

I was really looking forward to visiting, but unfortunately, our experience was ruined by unnecessary and unfair treatment. My husband was asked to remove his hoodie because staff (one person) found it "offensive"--despite the fact that it was just a standard motorcycle club hoodie with absolutely nothing inappropriate on it. It was frustrating and disappointing to see such an arbitrary dress code enforced, especially when we were just there to enjoy time with our dog. If this business has specific rules about attire, they should be clearly stated rather than left to subjective opinions. We won't be returning, and I'd advise others to think twice before supporting a place that unfairly singles out customers. read more

As someone who has seen some other options, Skiptown is an exceptional place to frequent for dog care needs. Grooming, daycare, boarding, dog park...they essentially have it all. Their daycare runs better than a well oiled machine and those that are conducting the dog's day are nothing short of pet professionals. Dogs need love, care, and routine; I've yet to even hear of a place that comes close to Skiptown. read more

Went for our first time last week and it's pretty cool! Its equally fun for pups and humans because they run around off leash and the humans get to relax with a bar. The staff was quick to clean up any messes so its a clean place for pups to run around. They also seemed to intervene as soon as they see any "rough playing" so everyone stays safe. The only thing I don't love about it is the membership packages kinda feel a bit scammy. I'd still recommend checking out on a sunny day when your pup needs a play day! read more

What a great addition to this area! They have valet service for dropping off and picking up my dog for day care, he loves it! And the bar and park- I love having coffee there in the morning and working from a picnic table, and then meeting my friends for drinks for Happy Hour after work, while our pups play. The staff is friendly and helpful, I'm so happy Skiptown is open! read more

Skiptown - Dog Parks Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Great place crappy manager. Drank too much one day ( my bad ) . He let me know and I voluntarily waited until sober to leave .right thing to do. Problem is every time I came back he informed the bartenders I was there and told them to " watch me " he then cut me off for no reason ( haven't had too much and he showboated around because his corporate team was there . I asked to talk to them and he said this is my show so no you're not talking to anybody . I did talk to them anyway . Great place , but the manager is retaliatory so beware . So sad because my puppy loved it there . Maybe I'll be back when other people see this power trip managers true colors and he's gone . His qualifications are also not up to par for the job he's in . They didn't check his background enough . read more

Skiptown has been the best thing the past year for our 1.5 y/o high-energy, active cattle dog pit mix. We've used all services and as Founding Members continue to trust the Skiptown staff with the safety and care of our pup. With dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, temperaments and increasing popularity, the Skippers continue to still have our dog's best interest. This doesn't go without saying those who choose to use the dog park should be prepared to watch over their dog. The luxury of sitting back, staying inside, and attentively looking at our laptop/phone doesn't fit us at this time - that's what daycare services allow. Since we know ours can be a lot sometimes, we are ultimately responsible to be near her and keep eyes at all times throughout the dog park for correcting and redirecting. This helps her learn and other dogs and their owners feel comfortable. Thanks to those who do the same! Unfortunately, not all owners assume that responsibility and seem unaware and surprised when they find out their dog acts inappropriately. Thank you to all of the staff for helping Skiptown operate and providing this amazing space for dogs and their owners! read more
