Rocky Canyon Kennels Too in Atascadero opened as a second location for an established boarding operation, and it’s worth knowing about if you’re planning to leave your dog in good hands while you explore San Luis Obispo County. The facility is climate-controlled, which matters a lot on the Central Coast where temperatures can swing pretty wide, especially in summer. They handle both dogs and cats, so if you’ve got multiple pets, you can keep everything in one place.

What sets this location apart is the range of services under one roof. Beyond boarding, they offer grooming and training, so you could drop your dog off for a stay and have them come back freshly bathed and with some work done on loose leash walking or other skills. The newly opened location means the facilities are relatively new, which generally translates to better maintained kennels and equipment. They’ve also built in extended hours, which helps if you’ve got an awkward arrival or departure time.

They’re working on adding daycare packages, which would be useful if you need drop-in care rather than overnight boarding. The climate control is especially relevant if you’re boarding your dog during warmer months—it keeps stress levels down and prevents heat-related issues.

You can find details about their current offerings and pricing on their website at https://rockycanyonkennels.com/. They’re straightforward about what they offer, and it’s worth checking their site to see what daycare options have launched since they opened. If you’re heading out for a few days to explore Big Sur or the Hearst Castle area and need somewhere reliable for your dog, this is a solid local option that handles the basics well without the pretension sometimes found at boarding facilities.
