Doggie Daycare for Small Dogs in Albuquerque

Big adventures come in small packages. If you’re searching for a small dog daycare near you, K9 Resorts in Albuquerque offers a daycare experience tailored to dogs under 30 pounds. Here, your dog can spend the day playing, exploring and enjoying meaningful interaction in a space created just for them.

Providing Safe & Fun Doggie Daycare for Small Dogs Under 30 Pounds

Small dogs benefit from an environment where they can move freely without feeling overshadowed. That’s why we group dogs by size, creating playgroups where smaller breeds can interact naturally with confidence and ease. 

The small dog daycare at K9 Resorts is centered around all-day play. From the moment they arrive, your dog is part of an active, social environment where they can roam, play and relax as they please. There’s no waiting around—just a full day of movement and interaction.

Our indoor play areas offer plenty of space for exploration, while outdoor yards provide a soft, paw-friendly surface designed specifically for dogs. The entire resort is climate-controlled, keeping temperatures comfortable so your dog can enjoy their stay in any season.

From those who have stayed with us

  • As a travel nurse, my son Henry has been to lots of daycares, and this is one of the best ones he has ever attended. The facility was super clean and always smells good, I got the unlimited monthly (it comes with one free bath a month!), he comes home tired and happy, and I love seeing him on their social media pages! The photos are from their Instagram, (please ignore that his mouth is open, he is a husky mix and has opinion on everything). Also, I can tell he loves it there because he starts yelling at me when we pull off the free way and then tries to pull me into the building and into the back room to play unless he sees one of his two favorite staff members, then he pulls me to them haha

  • Our dogs Phoebe and Easton love going to the K9 Resort. We left them for 8 days, and they greeted us with wagging tails. They loved being with other dogs, and being socialized.

    Melody Childs

  • I have always trusted K-9 Resorts with Ozzy a 2 year old golden retriever. He always comes out so happy! I completely trust this establishment and after I drop him off have complete peace of mind.

    Kris Diepholz

  • I had such a great first experience here! From the moment we walked in, we felt genuinely welcomed. Meredith at the front desk was amazing—so kind, informative, and reassuring. She really understood how much my dog means to me and helped ease my nerves leaving her for the first time. The place was very clean, and the decorations were so cute and inviting. The staff was incredibly friendly, and they took excellent care of my dog, especially making sure her leg wound was properly monitored with the one-on-one attention she needed. She came back happy, calm, and well cared for—which says everything. Highly recommend this place for your fur babies. 10/10!

  • Love our family at K9 Resorts! Calvin always has the best day playing with all his friends, and we trust them to board him when we are out of town. They also do precious photo shoots!

  • Such a wonderful facility! Our dogs love coming here. We know that they are safe and in good hands at K9 Luxury Resorts. The prices are overall very reasonable considering there are so many value added benefits. The facilities are very clean and do not reek like a dog pound. Unlike other facilities, the pups get to play indoors and outdoors. They provide individual attention and play for dogs that require a little bit of special attention. There’s so many adorable fun and interactive activities! We have been customers from day one and are overall pleased with our experienced. Meredith and staff are very caring and knowledgeable. We’ll keep coming back!

  • Our experience with K9 Resorts has been great! The staff is awesome! My pup loves going there for day care and occasional boarding. He starts getting excited as soon as we turn onto Pan American.

  • My dogs have been guests at K9 since the day they opened. The staff is always fantastic and very friendly. I would say the best recommendation for K9 comes from my Beauceron, Lilly. She is always excited to go for the day and play ball or even stay for overnights. I highly recommend K9 but more importantly, so do my dogs.

  • Everyone is so nice. My dog has pretty bad separation anxiety, and he’s been there before. He walked in tail wagging happy to see the people there, I’ve never seen that happen before with him. Knowing that he was in such caring, talented, capable hands was huge. 10/10 so lovely.

    Emma Patterson

  • The crew at K9 Resort is the best in town. The facility is clean and safe. Our dog willing goes to back with staff instead of giving us the pleading eyes. She comes back to us clean and happy. We also like the social media posts that include pictures of our dog.
