In recognition of its 20 years of service in dog boarding and daycare, K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel is organizing an anniversary celebration at its flagship location in Fanwood, New Jersey. Founded in 2005 by brothers Jason and Steven Parker, the company began with dog walking and evolved into a successful pet care business. The Parkers focused on quality and innovation, leading to the brand’s expansion and franchising opportunities that started in 2011.
Over the last two decades, K9 Resorts has grown from a single location to 44 operational sites, with more than 170 additional locations in development across the United States. The franchise has received significant investment and numerous industry awards, establishing itself as a leader in the luxury pet care market. Jason Parker, Co-Founder and Co-CEO, stated, “Twenty years ago, we embarked on a journey to redefine pet care and offer best-in-class dog boarding and daycare.”
The company aims to open 20 new resorts and issue more than 30 franchise licenses during its anniversary year. K9 Resorts is also committed to community involvement, as evidenced by its K9 Cares Foundation, which will donate $11,500 to Eleventh Hour Rescue. With the pet boarding industry projected to reach $35.8 billion by 2031, K9 Resorts is positioned for continued growth in the sector.
