Mac's Pack

Mac's Pack runs a cage-free dog boarding and daycare facility at 8230 South Colorado Boulevard, Suite B1, in Centennial, Colorado. Dogs sleep in open, spacious rooms on cozy soft beds rather than in crates, and the facility keeps 24-hour observation and round-the-clock care.

What they offer

Play here is organized rather than open-ended. Three separate play areas group dogs by play level, so calmer dogs are not stuck with the rowdiest of the bunch. Puppies under six months get their own Puppy Play Group.

• Cage-free overnight boarding and daycare
• Three play areas grouped by play level
• Puppy Play Group for dogs under six months
• On-site grooming and dog training classes
• Pet taxi pick-up and drop-off by 21-passenger van

What sets it apart

Transportation is part of the offering. Mac's Pack runs a 21-passenger van for home pick-up and drop-off, which helps owners whose work hours do not line up with a drop-off window. Grooming and training are handled on site too, so a boarding stay can end with a bath instead of another appointment somewhere else. The business is fully insured.

Before the first visit

Every dog is required to complete a meet and greet before its first service, which gives staff a read on the dog and the dog a look at the group. Published rates range from $17 to $70 per day depending on the service. Centennial is one of two Colorado locations; the other is in Englewood. Booking starts by phone at 303-770-0570 or by email at dog.macspack@gmail.com, and the full service list is at macspack.dog.
