Boulder is a very dog-friendly town and for a few lucky folks that means being able to take their pooches to work with them. But most of us have to leave Fido at home and figure out a way of coping with the guilt and anxiety. We wonder what he’s doing right now, if he’s bored, if he’s lonely, whether he’s eating the sofa (again). This is why doggy daycare centers have become so popular. They provide peace of mind for the working parents of dogs just the same as the peace of mind offered to working parents of human tots.

But doggy daycare also encounters the same problems we face with daycare for children. Yes, we are told they’re having a good time, making friends in a safe environment, but do we know that for sure? And if they are having fun, well… great for them but we’re missing out on it.

Wouldn’t it be gratifying to see them enjoying themselves with your own eyes? A couple local doggy daycare centers have arranged for exactly that. When you drop your buddy off at Dog City or Camp Bow Wow you not only get daily report cards, you also get live Doggy Cams so you can check in on them any time you want from any computer or handheld with online capabilities.

Is Max actually sleeping during naptime? Tune in at noon and find out. Is Fifi playing well with other dogs? Peek into the play yard and see for yourself. Debbie, a Dog City patron, says, “I love getting the comment card at the end of the day and being able to see Lucky throughout the day with the dog cam!”

It’s an amusing way to verify your dog’s safety and get to share in their good times while still getting paid – assuming you can tear yourself away from the Doggy Cams long enough to get your work done. They are a bit addictive.

Dog City is located at 2907 55th Street and Camp Bow Wow is at 3631 Pearl Street. Both daycare centers require that all dogs be completely up to date on all vaccinations, be spayed or neutered if over seven months old, and of course, all dogs must be friendly. Prices average about $27 a day (per dog) for daycare to $41 (per dog) for an overnight stay.
