When evaluating a premium pet hotel, what's your typical approach?

I book based on online reviews and price—no need to visit in person. I check their website and maybe call to ask a few basic questions. I visit in person to check cleanliness and observe current guests, then ask about staff credentials. I do an in-person visit, verify certifications and veterinary protocols, request references, and schedule a trial stay.

How prepared is your pet for a premium hotel stay?

I haven't really prepared—I'll just drop them off on vacation day. I've mentioned the stay to my pet but haven't done a pre-visit or trial. I've scheduled a pre-visit and prepared detailed instructions about their needs. I've done a pre-visit, prepared comprehensive instructions, and booked a trial overnight stay to ensure adjustment.

Which amenities do you prioritize when choosing a premium pet hotel?

Honestly, as long as they feed my pet and keep them safe, I'm happy. I want basic amenities like clean space and daily feeding, maybe some playtime. I look for climate-controlled suites, daily exercise programs, grooming services, and veterinary access. I require private suites, structured socialization, grooming, 24/7 vet support, dietary accommodations, AND live monitoring or photo updates.

How far in advance do you typically book a premium pet hotel for your vacation?

A few days before—I'll find something available. About 2 weeks before, which usually gives me some options. 4-6 weeks in advance to secure a good facility. I book 4-6 weeks early and even earlier for senior pets or peak seasons, then confirm all details in writing.
