In the midst of a record-breaking year for franchise growth, K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel has debuted on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list at No. 1924. This prestigious honor recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. and underscores K9 Resorts’ momentum in franchise expansion, operational innovation, and category leadership within the luxury dog boarding and daycare space.
Despite economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and a fluctuating labor market, K9 Resorts is on track for its strongest year of franchise development to date. Highlights from 2025 so far include:
- 27 new franchise licenses sold
- Five new resorts have opened
- 25 – 30 additional openings expected over the next 18 months
“Landing on the Inc. 5000 is more than an honor, it’s a clear signal that what we’re building is truly special and resonates with pet parents,” said Jason Parker, Co-CEO and Co-Founder of K9 Resorts. “From day one, our mission has been to raise the bar in pet care, and this recognition is proof that our franchisees, team, and guests believe in our vision.”
The standout year is credited to several key factors, including strategic franchise development, strong field support, technological advancements, innovative programming, and strategic partnerships.
With pet ownership continuing to increase and more than 50% of U.S. households owning a dog (68 million), the demand for pet services is greater than ever. K9 Resorts is meeting that demand with the unmatched quality of its services and facilities, and is poised to further dominate the sector and maintain its position as an industry leader.
