pet resort

Critter vacation spot

A pet resort is a boarding facility for animals—typically dogs and cats—that markets itself as offering amenities beyond basic kenneling.

The term evokes vacation accommodations, suggesting comfortable lodging, play areas, grooming, and individual attention rather than simple cages: We're leaving the dog at a pet resort while we're in Hawaii.

The line between pet resort and ordinary boarding kennel is largely a matter of branding and price.
