K9 Resorts To Enter New York City With Luxury Dog Hotel In Brooklyn

BROOKLYN, NY – K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel, an award-winning pet hospitality brand, is expanding its East Coast presence with the launch of its first New York City location in Brooklyn’s Dumbo district. Set to open in early 2026, the property at 295 Front Street will mark a significant milestone for the franchise as it enters one of the most competitive urban markets in the world.

The Brooklyn resort is part of a broader 10-location agreement signed with The Dhillon Group, a seasoned hotel operator with a track record in upscale hospitality. The group’s decision to enter the luxury pet care market reflects a growing intersection between traditional hospitality and pet services, particularly in urban centres where demand is high and space is limited.

“K9 Resorts has built a reputation as the premier luxury brand in pet hospitality, and we believe it is uniquely positioned to thrive in New York City,” said Harry Sandhu. “This is a city where excellence is expected, and K9’s dedication to quality and service makes it a perfect fit. We’re confident that Brooklyn families will quickly embrace K9 Resorts as the trusted destination for their pets.”

The facility will offer premium dog daycare and boarding, including an outdoor play area – a rarity in densely populated NYC neighborhoods. Services are tailored for pet owners who prioritise high standards in hygiene, supervision, comfort, and enrichment, aligning with the needs of modern pet-owning households.

Hospitality meets pet care: A growing segment

According to Talker Research, 40% of dog owners worry about their dog’s needs more than their own, while 34% express concern that their pets don’t receive enough affection when they are away. In urban hubs such as New York, this concern translates into robust demand for trustworthy, high-quality pet accommodations — a niche K9 Resorts is strategically positioned to fill.

“Partnering with the Dhillon Group comes at a pivotal time for our brand as we enter the vibrant Brooklyn market,” said Jason Parker, Co-Founder and CEO of K9 Resorts. “K9 Resorts has always been committed to providing best-in-class care through quality assurance and individualized attention, and the Dhillon Group’s passion for creating luxury hospitality experiences for both staff and clients aligns perfectly with our mission.”

The move follows a strong year for K9 Resorts in franchise development, with growing interest from both single- and multi-unit investors. As pet ownership surges – with over 64 million U.S. households owning at least one dog – K9 Resorts continues to lead the pet hospitality sector by integrating hospitality-grade standards into its facilities and operations.

K9 Resorts’ entrance into New York not only signals confidence in the city’s post-pandemic recovery but also highlights emerging investment opportunities at the intersection of pet care and hospitality. With urban professionals increasingly seeking premium experiences for their pets, brands like K9 are well positioned to capture market share in both lifestyle and travel-adjacent segments.

The brand is actively seeking new franchise partners to expand across additional U.S. markets, including metropolitan areas with strong demand for pet-friendly services, luxury experiences, and wellness-driven offerings.
