At K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel, we strive to provide the best pet care experience for every 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
