K9 Resorts Expands to Brooklyn with First Urban Location Through Hospitality Partnership

K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel is expanding its presence on the East Coast with its first location in New York City, partnering with experienced hospitality group The Dhillon Group to open a facility in Brooklyn's Dumbo neighborhood at 295 Front Street in early 2026. This expansion represents a significant milestone for the multi-award-winning pet boarding and daycare brand as it enters one of the world's most demanding markets for premium services.

The Dhillon Group, already successful as area hotel operators, identified pet care as a growing sector within the hospitality industry and selected K9 Resorts based on its proven success and quality standards. Led by Harry Sandhu, the group has committed to ten total locations, with the Brooklyn resort serving as K9's first urban facility featuring an outdoor play area, a rarity in dense metropolitan environments. 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 documented concerns among pet owners about their dogs' care when they cannot be present. 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 dogs won't receive adequate love when left alone. In a city with millions of dogs, this creates substantial demand for reliable, high-quality pet care services that prioritize animal well-being.

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 for both staff and clients aligns perfectly with our mission." The expansion occurs against a backdrop of increasing pet ownership, with over 64 million U.S. households now owning dogs, creating unprecedented demand for premium pet services.

K9 Resorts has established itself as an industry leader through its commitment to quality, earning five IBPSA Pet Care Business Excellence Awards and recognition on the Inc. 5000 list. The brand's facilities feature hospital-grade ventilation systems, antimicrobial flooring, and cage-free luxury boarding, setting new standards in pet hospitality.
