A Paw Above

A Paw Above offers dog boarding and daycare in Colorado Springs, CO, from a facility at 1447 Woolsey Heights. The kennel also handles grooming, training, and special diets.

The boarding area is climate controlled, and the runs are built from solid surface panels that dampen sound and keep dogs from seeing one another across the aisle. Each run covers 25 square feet and opens through a dutch door. Raised pet cots come with every stay, and the whole setup is aimed at keeping noise and stress low. Families with more than one dog can book a double run.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in 25 square foot runs, with double runs for multi-dog households
• Daycare with indoor play space
• 10 outdoor artificial turf play areas
• Grooming and training on site

How dogs spend the day

Every guest gets at least an hour of outdoor play or exercise each day across the turf yards. Indoor play areas give dogs a place to move when the weather keeps them inside.

Safety and monitoring

Closed-circuit cameras cover the kennel run area. The security system and the smoke and fire detection are monitored 24 hours a day.
