K9 Resorts Expands to Brooklyn with First Urban Location Through Hospitality Partnership
K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel is expanding into New York City with its first urban location in Brooklyn, partnering with The Dhillon Group to meet growing demand for premium pet care services in a market where pet owners prioritize quality boarding and daycare.
K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel is expanding its presence on the East Coast with its first location in New York City, partnering with seasoned hospitality group The Dhillon Group to open a facility in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood at 295 Front Street in early 2026. This move represents a significant milestone for the multi-award-winning pet boarding and daycare brand as it enters one of the world's major business hubs.
The Dhillon Group, experienced hotel operators, decided to invest in the growing pet care sector after recognizing the continued success and quality of K9 Resorts' services and facilities. The group has signed for 10 total locations, with the Brooklyn resort serving as K9's first urban location. Led by Harry Sandhu, the facility will feature an outdoor play area, making it one of the few local options with such amenities. Sandhu stated, "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. This is a city where excellence is expected, and K9's dedication to quality and service makes it a perfect fit."
The expansion addresses substantial market demand highlighted by industry data. According to a survey conducted by Talker, 40% of dog owners worry more about their dog's needs than their own, with 34% concerned their pets won't receive adequate love when left alone. With over 64 million U.S. households now owning dogs and pet ownership continuing to increase, the demand for premium pet services has never been greater. K9 Resorts is positioned to meet this demand with its hospital-grade ventilation systems, antimicrobial flooring, and cage-free luxury boarding facilities.
Jason Parker, Co-Founder and CEO of K9 Resorts, emphasized the strategic importance of the partnership, noting, "Partnering with the Dhillon Group comes at a pivotal time for our brand as we enter the vibrant Brooklyn market. 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 aligns perfectly with our mission." The brand's expansion into New York City signals the growing importance of the pet care sector within the broader hospitality industry and reflects shifting consumer priorities toward premium pet services.
