Wags & Whiskers Pet Hotel

Wags & Whiskers Pet Hotel handles dog boarding in Roswell, NM, along with daycare, grooming, and cat boarding, out of a climate-controlled building at 6015 N. Main St. Dogs of all sizes are accepted, from small breeds up through large ones. Rooms range from kennel-style retreats to private suites, so owners can pick how much space and pampering they want to pay for.

What's on offer

• Luxury dog suites in three tiers (Petite, Royal, and Presidential), plus Signature Retreat kennels
• An indoor dog park and indoor play space
• Grooming and spa services on site
• Webcam access, with in-suite TV and camera available in the Presidential Suite
• Medication administration and special-diet feeding

What sets the facility apart

The whole building is temperature-controlled and runs an air purification system with more than five air exchanges per hour. There is a security system as well. Every guest gets a raised bed, a cozy blanket, and daily housekeeping, and soothing music plays throughout the facility. Cats board separately in multi-level suites and three-room condos.

Practical details

Published rates run $55 to $84 per night, depending on the room. The facility is open 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday through Friday and closed Saturday and Sunday, so drop-offs and pickups have to fall on weekdays. Vaccinations are required. Reservations are made online through the Wags & Whiskers website.

Owners who want to watch their dog during the stay should look at the Presidential Suite in particular, since that is the tier where in-suite TV and camera access is offered. For a dog that does better with a plainer, quieter room, the Signature Retreat kennels sit at the lower end of the price range.
