Luxury Dog Boarding & Daycare Franchise Invites Entrepreneurs to Explore Ownership Opportunities at Boston Events Sept. 16-17 

BOSTON — K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel (K9 Resorts), an award-winning luxury dog boarding and daycare franchise, is targeting New England for continued franchise expansion and will bring members of its executive leadership team to Boston Sept. 16-17 to connect with entrepreneurs interested in franchise ownership opportunities across the region.

K9 Resorts sees significant potential across New England, where the brand has established a strong presence throughout the broader Northeast but still has considerable room to grow. To connect directly with entrepreneurs interested in bringing K9 Resorts to their communities, the brand will host an intimate dinner on Sept. 16 and lunch on Sept. 17 at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Boston. Attendees will have the opportunity to meet K9 Resorts Co-Founder and CEO Steven Parker, Chief Growth Officer Scott Schubiger and Chief Marketing Officer Dan Wheeler for a small-group conversation about the business, K9 Resorts’ plans for New England and opportunities to open locations throughout the region. Space is limited. Interested attendees can learn more and RSVP here.

“When Jason and I opened the first K9 Resorts in New Jersey more than 20 years ago, we set out to create what we envisioned as the Ritz-Carlton of dog hotels, bringing a level of hospitality and care to dog boarding that we felt was missing from the industry,” said Steven Parker, who founded K9 Resorts alongside his brother, Jason Parker. “We’ve spent the last two decades building on that vision and bringing the K9 Resorts experience to more communities across the country. As we think about where we take the brand next, New England stands out. It’s a natural extension of our roots in the Northeast, yet there is still tremendous potential to build something significant across the region. We’re looking for entrepreneurs who believe in what we’ve built and want to be part of bringing K9 Resorts to more communities across New England.”

Today, that founding vision is reflected in a luxury pet care model designed to feel more like a high-end hotel than a traditional boarding facility. K9 Resorts’ purpose-built resorts feature spacious, cage-free luxury suites and executive rooms, premium bedding and indoor and outdoor play areas, alongside hospital-grade ventilation systems, antimicrobial flooring and rigorous cleanliness protocols. The brand pairs that environment with professionally trained teams and enrichment-focused programming designed around the comfort, safety and well-being of every dog. K9 Resorts’ commitment to innovation and operational excellence has earned the brand six IBPSA Pet Care Business Excellence Awards, among the pet care industry’s top honors, as well as recognition as IBPSA’s Top Pet Care Franchise in the Nation for five consecutive years.

For franchise owners, K9 Resorts’ premium positioning is also central to its business model. The elevated guest experience supports premium pricing, while enrichment programming and enhanced services provide additional revenue opportunities beyond traditional boarding and daycare. Franchisees benefit from an established operating model and comprehensive support spanning development, training, marketing and ongoing operations, allowing them to focus on delivering the consistent, high-quality experience that defines the K9 Resorts brand.

As K9 Resorts continues expanding nationally, with 50 resorts open and more than 170 additional locations in development, the brand remains focused on partnering with experienced operators who understand the long-term value of building a premium hospitality business. With top-performing mature franchise locations generating average unit volumes* exceeding $2.8 million, K9 Resorts continues to attract franchisees seeking a differentiated model built around operational consistency, strong unit performance and a highly specialized guest experience.
