Action Dog Santa Fe

Action Dog Santa Fe offers cage-free dog boarding in Santa Fe, NM, along with pack hikes, private walks, and overnight pet sitting. Dogs board in a private home as houseguests rather than in a kennel run. For dogs that do better on their own turf, the overnight sitting happens at the owner's house instead. The business is licensed, bonded and insured, License No. 234089.

Services and amenities

• In-home overnight boarding, run as sleepovers
• Overnight pet sitting in the owner's home, including cat care
• Group pack adventure hikes for up to six dogs
• Solo private dog walking and off-leash trail adventures
• Medication administration, plus pickup and drop-off

What makes it different

The model is built around movement. Dogs head out to open space for group hikes or one-on-one walks, on leash or off, then come back to a house to rest. Training is part of the routine rather than an add-on. Handlers use force-free positive reinforcement, building recall and trail manners through rewards instead of corrections, and that same approach carries into boarding stays.

Cage-free boarding tends to suit social dogs who like company. An owner whose dog struggles to settle somewhere new, or a household that also includes cats, can book in-home sitting and keep everyone in familiar rooms. Dogs on daily medication can be dosed on schedule either way.
