Whether your pet is an animated English bulldog, affectionate Maltipoo or mischievous Siamese cat, four-legged companions are the loves of our lives, and by that measure, deserve the very best.
It’s hard to separate from our fur babies, even when it means we’re finally escaping the city for a much needed weekend of fun and relaxation. Looking into their sweet, innocent eyes, you know you can’t just drop your pet off anywhere. Like you, they deserve a vacay! Los Angeles is full of luxury pet hotels, many of which include a spa and specialized activities so your feline or pup is kept busy in your absence (some even take in reptiles and birds). To find the right fit for you, check out five of the best pet hotels below.
Deep in the San Fernando Valley, the Paradise Ranch Pet Resort is the first fully-licensed cage-free dog boarding facility in the country. While you’re away, your pup will be out to play at its resort-style water park, set with pools, fountains and slides. In addition to overnight boarding, it offers daycare, training and grooming.
Your dog will get the full star treatment at D Pet Hotels Hollywood. The basic room option begins at a standard suite, which includes doggie beds and flat screen TVs, and elevates to the premier “uber suite,” which features a queen bed among its modern decor. Aside from lavish boarding accommodations, D Pet Hotels services include daycare, grooming and even a chauffeur if you are too busy to drop your pet off before sprinting off to LAX. What’s more, you’ll have the option to have your fur baby picked up in a Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Porsche or Rolls Royce.
Dogs and cats are welcome at Wag Hotels. The pet care facility promises a one-of-a-kind adventure for your pet, with amenities like luxury boarding, customizable daycare plans and spa treatments. Set your four-legged friend up in an ultra suite and have access to the 24/7 WagCam where you can watch them lounge in a full human-sized bed (not to mention the room features a TV). Cats can relax in the multi-room kitty condos and enjoy complimentary cuddles from the staff.
This cage-free pet hotel and spa commits to round-the-clock pampering, love, attention and exercise. Located in Agoura Hills, Paw Hills is a family operation of animal lovers that includes vet techs, dog trainers and professional handlers. Both cats and dogs have the option to board in private, spacious suites. And if you decide to get your pet groomed, manicure and pedicure services offer the option of non-toxic pet polish.
Take a scroll through Barkley Pet Hotel’s Instagram profile and you’ll notice something different from many other pet hotels: they care for all kinds of animals. The 50,000-square-foot facility takes in dogs, cats, birds and a variety of exotic creatures, and services range from boarding to day camp to training. What’s more, The Barkeley is adjacent to VCA Westlake Village Animal Hospital so that it can care for any veterinary needs at a moment’s notice.
