Finding someone to watch your pet is easy. Finding a trustworthy place that your pet is excited to return to is something else entirely.
That’s the idea behind Kuri Pet Resort. Now open, the facility is designed to feel less like a drop-off spot and more like a second home—where pets are safe, engaged and enjoy their time.
Meeting growing demand
After eight years in pet care in the Mid-Atlantic, owner Robyn Leenaerts returned home with a specific takeaway: most facilities are safe—but often stop there.
“A lot of places will keep pets safe, but that doesn’t mean they’re engaged or getting what they need,” Leenaerts said. “I wanted to bring a more structured, hands-on approach here—something that supports their behavior and well-being.”
That thinking shaped Kuri Pet’s foundation. The resort offers a full range of services, including:
Beyond the basics, the focus is on how pets spend their time—not just where they stay.
Boarding at Kuri Pet isn’t just overnight housing; it’s a structured stay built around routine, activity, and downtime - all with the added benefit of onsite, 24/7 staffing. Pets are never left alone overnight.
Dogs spend their days moving between supervised play sessions, enrichment activities and rest in private suites with raised beds and soft bedding. Staff don’t just watch play—they actively guide it, reading behavior and stepping in when needed to help dogs interact appropriately.
The goal is balance: enough stimulation to keep dogs happy and enough calm to keep them comfortable.
For pets needing extra attention, the pampered pet option adds one-on-one time, treats, and a nighttime routine to help dogs settle in.
Cats are cared for in a separate, cat-only cattery designed for quiet and comfort. Multi-level condos give them space to climb, rest and observe, with scratching posts, soft bedding and their own litter and feeding areas. They also get solo playtime in a dedicated feline space away from dog activity.
A day that feels like play
What stands out at Kuri Pet is how structured play doesn’t feel chaotic; it feels guided.
Dogs are grouped by temperament and play style, not just size, and staff are actively in the yards helping shape interactions. This means dogs learning to socialize properly are supported, not overwhelmed.
Day camp is offered in both half-day and full-day options, giving pet owners flexibility based on their schedule while ensuring dogs still experience a structured routine of play, rest and enrichment.
Play happens in indoor, climate-controlled “park-style” spaces with turf, structures and room to move, plus indoor-outdoor runs for fresh air without the Texas heat.
The energy isn’t constant. Dogs rotate between activity and rest, which staff says is key to keeping them calm, not overstimulated.
Beyond group play, enrichment continues through trail and pack walks—moments that take dogs out of the playyards into different stimulation.
In this environment, dogs don’t just burn energy; they learn to regulate it, resulting in calmer behavior at home and fewer destructive habits from boredom or excess energy.
The finishing touches
Bathing and nail trims are offered for daycare and boarding guests, allowing pets to go home clean and comfortable after their stay.
It’s a simple addition that fits the broader philosophy: pets shouldn’t just be picked up—they should come home better than when they arrived.
A first look for pet owners
Kuri Pet Resort offers new clients a $50 resort credit through May 16 for boarding, daycare or add-on services.
For pet owners used to choosing between convenience and peace of mind, Kuri Pet is positioning itself as both—a place where pets aren’t just supervised, but actually have a worthwhile day.
