About us: a family-run dog hotel
Your dog will have a friend they can trust
Hi, I'm Joshua Place
I'm from Denver, and nine years ago The Place's was born with a very simple but powerful idea:
“Build lasting relationships, not just offer a service.”
We're a family business
We're not a big, faceless chain. We're people who love dogs and have grown alongside our community, year after year.
We've had the privilege of caring for the same dogs and families for years.
What does that mean for you?
Your dog always sees the same person at every visit. They never have to get used to new faces again and again.
That builds trust
And trust helps your dog feel calm, safe and happy.
No stress. No uncertainty. Just a warm, predictable place full of love.
Our philosophy is simple
Every dog is treated as part of the family. We adapt every stay to their needs.
And we believe in something we call a “real pack environment”.
A paradise for your canine friend
Pets feel right at home.

What our furry guests' families say
4.8 on Google · 32 reviewsOzzy's familyhotel guest It's also remarkable how León, María Cristina and Josh's son, gets involved in caring for and entertaining the pets that visit The Place. In our case, he not only helped look after our pet, but they've become friends… What more could you ask for?
Kiara's family7–8 years with us
Translated from SpanishWe've been bringing our Kiara to The Place Hotel for 7–8 years. We visited several places to leave her; what we liked most at first was that the dogs were free, not locked up like at several other hotels. Then we got to know Cristina and Josh, and over the years they've given us a unique confidence that she'll be very well cared for. Every day we get photos or videos of her, which gives us great peace of mind.
Gari's familyevery vacation
Translated from SpanishHi! Whenever we go on vacation we leave our dog at The Places. It's the best place: he gets to play freely during the day. They look after him as if he were at home, and every night he sleeps in the bunks they've set up especially for the dogs. He's learned tricks thanks to Josh, and whenever he's needed anything, Cristi has seen him right away.
Mila's family20 days every year, for 3 years
Translated from SpanishOur Mila has been staying at the hotel for 20 days every year for three years. Every time we pick her up she looks happy and you can tell she had a great time. During her stay she plays with other dogs, even cats. It's like summer camp for them. Josh sends us videos of Mila every day. You can see Cristina and Josh really care about them, as if they were family. Thank you so much for looking after our Mila every year.
Príncipe's family6 years with us
Translated from SpanishI've been leaving my Príncipe with Josh and Cristina for six years. I feel completely at ease when he stays with them. I get videos every day and I know he's very well cared for. Highly recommended!
Coco, Cuchi y Bimba's familyevery vacation
Translated from SpanishI'm leaving this review because they truly deserve it. Every time I go on vacation, I leave my dogs with them, and the peace of mind they give me is priceless. You can tell they care for them with real love: they're attentive, they know them, they respect their pace and their needs, and most importantly… my dogs come home happy! It's not just that they're “well looked after”; they feel at home. For me, that says it all. Knowing they're somewhere they're loved and treated with so much dedication means you can travel without worrying. I recommend them completely.
Luna's familysocialization and stays I've had a really positive experience with the dog hotel “The Places”. I initially started sending my dog Luna there for socialization, and it has made a noticeable difference: she's happier and showing improvement around strange people and other dogs. I've also left her there for a few nights while I was traveling, and it gave me great peace of mind knowing she was in good hands. The care and attention Joshua and Cristina's team provide is excellent. The time-to-time updates from Joshua during her stay are real mind relaxers. Luna eagerly waits for Maria Paz to pick her up and loves her. A special mention to Cristina, who takes care of the veterinary services and overall health monitoring. She is attentive, knowledgeable, and clearly cares about the dogs' well-being. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a safe, caring, and professional environment for their dog.
Parchita's familyvacations
Translated from SpanishParchita's best vacations. You can see the love and dedication they have for every pet, which gives me great peace of mind every time she stays with you. I can honestly say they spoil her more than at home 🥰. Parchita comes back happy, which says a lot about how she's treated. Communication is also very good, and they take care of every detail. Thank you so much for your responsibility and commitment. Without a doubt the best place!
Tobías's familystays of more than a month
Translated from SpanishTobi isn't just well looked after; he has also learned to get along with other dogs, and he looks happy and calm. You can tell they understand each dog and treat them with a lot of love. Something very important to me is that they send me photos and videos every day, so I can see how he's doing and feel much calmer. I've been able to leave Tobías with complete confidence, even for long periods of more than a month when I've had to travel. Knowing he's somewhere they care for him like family is priceless. They truly make Tobi feel at home. I recommend them completely.
Graco's familymore than 4 years
Translated from SpanishI've been bringing my pet to the hotel at The Places for more than four years; nothing but thanks to all of them. The love and care they give my pet is wonderful, and there's first-rate veterinary care from Cristina. You can leave your pet with complete peace of mind and confidence, so I can only recommend them. I moved to another part of town, but I would never move my pet from its hotel at The Places.
