The K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel opened its newest location in the Heights off of Shepherd Drive.

The luxury boarding and doggie daycare facility opened Sept. 28 as a place where Houston residents can leave their pets for a short or extended period of time.

What you need to know

The New Jersey-born business offers different luxury kennel options that range from a large eight by eight inch cage-free space, to a smaller traditional enclosure for dogs that weigh less than 35 pounds.

All boarding options include a choice of all-day group play or individual play with staff, luxury or comfort mat bedding, and premium Blue Buffalo meals.


Other notable features include:
  • A fully computerized reservation system
  • A PetAirapy UV air purification and ventilation system
  • Hospital-grade sanitation procedures
  • Trained and certified staff
  • HDTV televisions tuned to either Animal Planet or DogTV
According to the business' website, the boarding space is also designed to reduce the number of guests occupying one area by splitting the facility into separate zones, which reduces pets' stress levels while boarded.

Pets also have access to an outdoor courtyard that features artificial turf and K9 Grass with antimicrobial agents.
