K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel is bringing its upscale dog boarding concept to New York City with the opening of its first city location in DUMBO, Brooklyn, on October 12. The 10,000-square-foot facility will feature the Founders Suite, a private accommodation priced at $1,000 per night with a three-night minimum stay. The launch marks a significant step for the New Jersey-founded franchise as it enters one of the country’s largest urban markets.
Designed by co-founders Steven and Jason Parker, the Founders Suite takes cues from luxury Manhattan hotels. The private space features gold wallpaper, a chandelier, luxury dog bowls and a plush bed. Guests receive chauffeured transportation to and from the resort, an in-suite filet mignon dinner and an ice cream turndown amenity. A personalized portrait session features an 18-karat white-gold collar encrusted with diamonds and valued at $150,000, with the framed portrait and other gifts going home with the dog.
The experience extends beyond the room itself. Pet owners can select from a Sleep Menu with options such as ocean waves, forest wind and ambient sound to help their dogs settle in. Personalized enrichment and wellness options include K9 Fit Play and an LED therapy mat, tailored to each dog’s activity level and preferences. At checkout, guests receive a collection of take-home items, including Les Poochs fragrance, Wagyu treats and a premium dental care set.
The wider DUMBO resort includes indoor and outdoor play areas, cage-free overnight accommodations, hospital-grade air filtration and professionally trained staff. It is designed to accommodate up to 80 overnight guests and 100 daycare dogs daily, with six Luxury Suites and 65 Executive Rooms. Standard overnight rates range from $89 to $159, positioning the Founders Suite as an exceptional premium offering within the broader service lineup.
As K9 Resorts enters New York City, the opening also illustrates how franchise brands can adapt their physical locations to distinct markets while maintaining a recognizable identity. Gorilla Dash offers a Branded Stores feature that can help multi-location businesses organize their branded locations as their networks grow, providing a relevant option for operators managing a wider footprint.
Founded by brothers Steven and Jason Parker in New Jersey in 2005, K9 Resorts has grown into a national luxury pet hospitality franchise offering boarding and daycare. The DUMBO location brings that model to New York City, pairing everyday care services with an attention-grabbing premium experience designed around individual dogs and their owners.
