We get it, leaving your dog behind while you travel is one of the hardest parts of being a pet parent. That guilty feeling, the worry about how they’re doing, and the endless search for trustworthy care. That’s why we’re excited to shine a spotlight on PetSmart PetsHotel, a reliable boarding option that takes the stress out of travel for both you and your pup.
Whether you’re heading out for a weekend getaway or a longer vacation, PetsHotel offers a safe, fun, and comfortable “home away from home” designed specifically with dogs (and cats) in mind.
What Makes PetsHotel Stand Out?
Located inside select PetSmart stores, PetsHotel combines convenience with high-quality care. Here’s what sets it apart:
- Comfortable Accommodations: Dogs stay in climate-controlled rooms that are cleaned and sanitized daily. Options include standard guest rooms (where pups can sometimes bunk with compatible buddies) and private suites for those who prefer more personal space.
- Daily Exercise & Play: Your dog won’t just lounge around all day. PetsHotel provides personalized playtime with pet-loving staff, twice-daily exercise walks, and unlimited potty breaks. It’s like a built-in vacation full of enrichment and movement.
- 24/7 Peace of Mind: On-site staff and access to an on-call veterinarian mean help is always nearby. They can administer medications if needed, and many locations offer calming pheromones and probiotics to help anxious pups settle in.
- Flexible Scheduling: Convenient drop-off and pickup times make it easy to fit around your travel plans. You can even get updates during your dog’s stay so you can relax knowing they’re doing well.
- Extra Perks: Many locations allow add-on services like grooming or training, so your dog can come home looking and behaving their best.
