Pet Planet Hotel and Day Camp

Pet Planet Hotel and Day Camp handles dog boarding in Las Cruces, NM, from a facility at 971 Sand Castle Ave, and also runs day camp, grooming, and training. Dogs of every size are welcome, from small breeds through giant ones. Cats stay in multi-level condos.

What boarding looks like

Overnight guests stay in private suites rather than cages, in a climate-controlled building. Webcam access lets owners check on their dog from home. Some suites have flat screen TVs. Published rates run $35 to $60 per day, depending on the room.

Day camp and play space

Large and small dogs play in separate areas, so a smaller dog isn't stuck in the rough-and-tumble crowd. The yards include a wading pool, a water park, and climbing tires and tunnels for dogs who need to work off energy.

What sets it apart

Not every dog does well in a group, and the options here account for that: private yards, private playtime, and one-on-one time with staff. Massage sessions can be added. Grooming and training happen on site, so a boarding stay can also include a bath or a training session.
