Dogs at Heartland Ranch USA are treated like family. They’re never left alone and have wonderful daily activities to keep them happy. To ensure that our guests receive one-on-one attention, we limit our OVERNIGHT boarders to 15 guests per night (check the calendar for availability). The room where the dogs reside is in our home and has a beautiful fireplace and a large TV. Dogs love it for story time, watching movies, and especially for their treats.
Dog Boarding
Not Your Normal Dog Stay
Dogs staying with us overnight participate in all the daily activities of our Day Camp. They get treats, play (or sleep), and get human touch. To end their busy day, all dogs go to sleep watching TV and getting their own, secure pen.
Dog day camp at Heartland Ranch USA is like an adventure camp for your dog. Available 8 am—6 pm Monday through Saturday, Heartland Ranch USA Day Camp ensures your dog returns home happy and ready for a good night’s sleep!
$23 per day. This includes all activities and treats. Reservations can be made for a single day or a subscription. Pickup and delivery of your dog will be available soon. Please check back for availability.
Most people want a dog that is friendly with kids, family, friends, and other animals. They want a dog that is obedient, on or off leash, in the home, at work, going for a car ride, traveling, or just going to the store. Dog owners want their pets to be calm around visitors or when approached on a walk.
If you and your family desire this type of dog, we can help you achieve your goals.

We have trusted Heartland ranch with our pup here regularly for a year now and will continue to bring her here for as long as we can! When we have week-long work trips, month-long vacations, or just a short weekend in New Mexico, we know our dog is safe, healthy, and happy staying here!Having our dog stay here has also helped with her anxiety and socialization! It's great getting photos and videos of Bunny playing with her friends, or cuddling up in the evening with a treat.
I only being an advance searcher of a place to keep my 27 yr old Morgan Mare, I was impressed. Sally is a wonderful person to talk to.She was informative and just seems like a honest and basically a great person. My search was fruitful. When I do make the move with my Mare, this is the first place I am coming to.
This team is great! I had no worries leaving my dog with them. He even sent me a few pictures! My dog was tired when he got home, but tired like he had played well! We live a few hours away but it was WORTH it!
Training our dog at Heartland Ranch was the best money ever spent. Marvel, our dog, was a very anxious and scared dog before training with Mark. He's come back so brave and obedient. I am very hesitant as to wear my dogs stay, but Mark gave us a tour of his facility and we got to see how the dogs are treated, and I must say I think Marvel misses Mark and playing with all the other dogs. Marvel can now be around other dogs and go on walks without freaking out and that is all thanks to Marks training! I will be boarding my dogs with them in a few months and I have now doubts they will be taken care of as if they were their dogs! Such a great experience taking our dog here!
Mark and his wife at Heartland Ranch took great care of my dog Conor. They pretty much welcome the dogs into their home. This place is not your typical business where the priority is profit. My experience with Heartland was a personable experience that exceeded all of my initial expectations. Highly Recommend.
We feel very comfortable leaving our dog in this ranch, they share photos and videos of how your dog is doing. The place is super beautiful, clean and spacious. Excellent place to leave your pet.
We’ve used Heartland Ranch on several occasions. Mark is wonderful. Trained two of our dogs and he’s always available to take our calls for questions. The dogs have boarded multiple times and it’s clean and they don’t come home stressed like they did at other locations. We can go away knowing they are in great hands!
Barbie our poodle mix had a great 10 days at the Ranch. Mark sent texts and photographs of Barbie. She enjoyed the outdoor play area which is made of turf and shade canopies. She seemed very happy here during her stay. The facility is well kept and accommodating. We will board her again in the future.
Our little Maltipoo, Hero, is so well taken care of by Mark and Elana. It is as if he is going to visit family with different furry pals to play with. We very much appreciate the attention and care they provide and the photos/videos are priceless while we are way.
Wonderful boarding: our dog loves going there. Occasional videos and texts from the owner, Mark, are always welcome. It's the only place we've found that we're entirely happy with.
Great experience here! Unlike most boarding places that are concrete and depressing, this one is set up with cozy living spaces for the dogs with plenty of space for play time. The owners took great care of my dog and I know she had a good time because she was snoring 5 minutes after we got home.
We dropped our 1.5 year old Great Dane, Dorothy, off for three weeks of training. We live in Albuquerque so this was not a decision we made lightly. We adopted Dorothy from a shelter and she had some really severe reactive behaviors. Before we took her to see our friends at Heartland Ranch, we were barley able to take her on walks. She reacted to dogs, farm animals, people, cars, trucks, bikes, school buses, and hot air balloons. She is the sweetest dog but REALLY needed to improve on a leash. With a lot of hard work, Mark was able to help Dorothy learn better leash skills and build some confidence. Mark has continued to support us even now that we are back up in Albuquerque. It was a great decision and I highly recommend Heartland Ranch!
Thank you for taking such good care of our dogs during their most recent two week Spring Break stay. Your home has been the only facility where our dogs have been just as happy and healthy when we pick them up as when we drop them off. Thanks for always treating them as if they were your own!
Such a wonderful experience for my baby boy. Mark was so nice and made Leo feel very comfortable from the moment he was boarded. My heart was broken to leave my dog and Mark made sure to daily send me pics and videos of how he was doing. I will be a life time customer of Heartland Ranch. Thank you for taking such good care of Leo!
Excellent! Our rescue pup had a lovely time for his first ever boarding experience. Puppy had a grand holiday and we were reassured of his comfort and safety entirely, with regular videos sent to us of his adventures. We’re grateful for the good care Heartland took of our beloved dog, and we can’t wait to book him another stay soon!
This place is clean and comfy. It is not your typical boarding facility with concrete runs and guillotine doors to the outside. The dogs have a comfortable "suite" or large crates in the owner's home. When my two- J and J - came home they were either sad to be home or exhausted!!???? Mark returned my text's every night (it was my first time leaving them) reassuring me that they were doing fine!! He sent video's as well. I Highly recommend Heartland!
When you drop off your pets here there is no worries. They keep you informed and updated on your little ones active day. Our Doberman always has a great time and is treated like family.I very seldom review anyone but because of the outstanding care given I am compelled to do so here. Thanks very much Harold and Jane
Great place to take your pups! We did a visit to tour and could tell they put care and genuine love into their work. They sent videos and we could tell our 3 pups were having a good time. They have our trust and will continue to board our dogs here. Highly recommend Heartland Ranch to anyone and everyone!
I love Heartland Ranch. The people are so caring and kept me updated on what my fur baby was up to. They made me feel very comfortable knowing my baby was in good hands. When I picked him up, he was a completely different dog, in the best way possible. This is now my go to place to leave my dog for boarding because I know he enjoys his stay. Thank you Heartland for being great at taking care of my baby and everything you do for him and others.
Highly recommend Heartland Ranch. The accommodations are precious and the play area is huge w lots of play equipment for the dogs. Owners are genuinely nice and their love for animals really shows. They make homemade snacks for their guests!! They sent a video of our baby playing and sent messages to let us know how he was doing. This will definitely be our choice for boarding Oliver when we go out of town again. Knowing your dog is having a good time w people that care is so comforting to a dog mama. Thank you!!!
Mark and Elana have a wonderful place out at Heartland Ranch USA. Our dog Harrison really loved it there and my wife and I were able to relax and enjoy our holiday knowing he was in good care. It was immediately obvious that Mark and Elana are caring professional dog keepers. We will definitely be taking Harrison back for future stays!
We loved it and so did our fur babies!!!!! Very nice atmosphere and very friendly people!!! I love that they have turf and lots of shade. We had them go there overnight for a few nights during holidays and didn’t worry much because we felt they were in good hands!!! We definitely will be taking them there again even for maybe just a day playtime!!!! Really recommend them!!!
Heartland is absolutely the best for our dog, Ocean (a 62lb. American Staffordshire Mix). He has attended doggy camp and boarded for almost a week. Having Ocean board there put our mind at ease. We even received a “Doggy Report Card” when we picked him up. My kids loved it. So far we love everything about Heartland-the location, the boarding, the play areas for the dogs, the interaction with our dog, the communication with us, and the cleanliness.Mark and his wife Elana are trustworthy and kind people. We look forward to another doggy day camp and to Mark training Ocean.
It hasn’t been long since I was made aware of Heartland Ranch. My two dogs were there over the holidays and will soon attend training classes with Mark. He and his wife kept us updated on how our dogs were doing and sent us pics that showed how happy they were while there! This place I recommend to anyone that has dogs.
I recently boarded my puppy at Heartland Ranch and it was a fantastic experience. More than I imagined. Very safe and fun for our puppy.Mark did a great job with him, our puppy certainly seemed very happy there. It seemed also like a safe way to socialize him a bit in a very safe setting with other dogs. The ranch has plenty of room for the puppy to play safely.The place is amazing, and Mark was very communicative and updated us regularly with photos of videos of our dog. It's a unique place for 'boarding' and will absolutely be our go-to when we need a place for our pup when out of town. Pricing is also excellent. Can't recommend highly enough.
Dog Camp at the Ranch
Morning
Morning at the Ranch starts with some outside time for exercise and then relaxing before a healthy breakfast. All of our dog guests get a nutritious breakfast.
Throughout the day
Your dog will be busy with a combination of planned activities and the appropriate rest time to ensure engagement but not exhaustion. From walks to agility play to water features and toys, your dog will have a full day at Day Camp!
Nighttime
Evenings are an intentionally slow time for dogs at Heartland Ranch USA. They’ll come inside for a snack and get comfortable for a movie or relaxed play. Believe it or not, dogs love story time by the fireplace!
Lights Out
Dogs are like people. They need the correct balance between rest and activity. Here at the Ranch, we maintain a regular schedule of activity and rest to create a balanced and healthy environment for your dog. Bedtime is at 8:00 p.m., and dogs fall asleep to a nice, relaxing movie on the big-screen TV.
About Our Facility
Heartland Ranch USA is located in Southeastern New Mexico, near El Paso, on a 10-acre estate in a beautiful pecan orchard.
Our new custom suites are designed with your dog’s comfort and safety in mind. All overnight guests are kept in our home and will receive constant attention and companionship. All dogs can access an indoor play area and a large outdoor activity center. A rock wall and a high fence surround the outside facility. It is cross-divided into three large sections for dogs of different sizes and personalities. Each section has pet-friendly artificial turf or grass, raised cots, toys, play structures, and safe and fun water features. Clean, cool, fresh water is available at all times. The play area has oversized sun sail shades to protect your dog from sunburn or overheating. Dogs are like people and should not have excessive exposure to the sun.
Cleaning and disinfecting the artificial turf, grass, and structures is done on a strict schedule.
We hope that our home will become an extension of your home for your pets. Come and experience Heartland Ranch USA!
