Z Pet Hotel & Spa

Z Pet Hotel & Spa is a dog boarding and daycare facility at 1196 Harrison Road in Santa Fe, New Mexico. The kennel takes cats as well as dogs, and it accepts every size of dog, from small breeds through giant ones. Boarding, daycare, and grooming all run out of the same address.

What they offer

• Dog and cat boarding, with a discount for households bringing more than one pet
• Daycare for dogs and cats
• Bathing and grooming on site
• Secure dog runs with multiple outdoor times each day
• Medication administration and special diets by arrangement

What a stay looks like

Dogs spend part of the day outside in the secure runs, coming out several times rather than once. Cats board in spacious condos that look out over the lobby and salon, which suits a cat who likes to watch the room. For dogs who want more attention than a group setting gives them, the staff offer one-on-one play sessions built around frisbee, ball time, rope tug, or straight cuddling. Staff describe their aim as understanding each animal's habits and making the place feel like a second home. Grooming is available on site, so a dog can get cleaned up before heading back out the door.

Rates, hours, and booking

Nightly rates published by the kennel run from $39 to $57, with dog boarding priced by size. Bringing a second pet lowers the cost. The facility keeps the same hours every day of the week, 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, so weekend pickups work the same as weekday ones. Reservations are made over the phone at (505) 438-7777.
