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.
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. Our luxury pet resorts have been referred to as the best pet service providers by New Jersey Monthly Magazine, Monmouth Health & Life Magazine, New Jersey Monthly Magazine, The Courier News, and Suburban Essex Magazine.
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.
