ABOUT K9 RESORTS

INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED,

MULTI AWARD-WINNING PET CARE

At K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel, we strive to provide the best pet care experience for your dog. We would like to take this time to thank you for your interest in our premier pet resort. Our love for animals can be traced back to 1999, when our Founders and CEOs, Steven and Jason Parker, were just 14 and 12 years of age. Steven and Jason started their own pet sitting business called K-9 Guardians Professional Pet Sitting because they loved dogs, and the thought of earning a few extra bucks at such a young age was exciting to them. Later on, the young entrepreneurs realized they wanted to make pet care their careers and, in 2005, K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel was born in Fanwood, NJ. We’re proud to be internationally recognized and trusted for a variety of reasons, some of which include our:

• Flawless customer service
• Cage free luxury boarding
• Loving and caring staff
• State of the art facilities

Numerous groomers, veterinarians, trainers, and other local pet professionals prefer K9 Resorts because they feel it appropriately accommodates pets’ needs. Not only do they recommend our dog care resort to their clients, many of their pets board here as well. We consider this to be the highest compliment any pet care facility can receive and it is something we are enormously proud of. MULTI AWARD-WINNING PET CARE K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel is honored to have been rated the top pet care franchise in the nation by the IBPSA.

WHAT MAKES K9 RESORTS DIFFERENT

Our state of the art facilities have been consistently rated within the top three in the nation and provide world class accommodations and care to our guests. We are proud to lead the way in the pet hospitality industry. Our entire facility is split into separate zones to reduce the number of guests that occupy one area. While this carefully designed layout is a more expensive way to construct a pet care facility, it significantly reduces pets’ stress levels when they are boarding with us. Your dog’s comfort and your peace of mind are our top priorities. On behalf of the entire team at K9 Resorts, we would like to thank you for your interest in our award-winning pet care facility. Please reach out to us for more information about how we can accommodate your pet’s needs and exceed your expectations. Benefits
