Dogs are part of the family and, as such, need the best care. Especially when you have a last-minute trip and can't take them with you.
With that in mind, here is a list of several dog hotels around the Island that can give you a little peace of mind when you travel.
If this is your first time leaving your dog at a hotel, Wooftopia might be a good fit. They have a reputation for earning the trust of anxious dogs, and they keep owners in the loop through photos and videos.
They also offer luxury boarding, day care, grooming and training. Wooftopia offers 5-day packages at $115 and 10-day packages at $200.
Inspired by the vibrant colors of Miami's Wynwood arts district, The Barking Lounge is another option for dog care. It has more than 25 mini suites and suites spread across two levels, and also offers grooming and day care services, perfect for pampering your four-legged companion.
If you're in the western part of the Island, House of Dogs may be a good option for leaving your pet in someone's care. There you can find pet care and spa services.
As an example, the daily program includes a nap/aromatherapy session and a water break at noon; community time and socialization from 10-11 a.m. and 1-2 p.m.; and individual bathroom breaks from 8-9 a.m. and 4-5 p.m.
Another place that keeps pet owners at ease through photos and videos is NovoPet Dog Care. This San Juan hotel highlights the fact that it does not use cages in its pet care and boarding service. It also offers at-home care and feeding, as well as pickup and drop-off to veterinarians and groomers, among other services.
Care is estimated at $15 per day.
In the Hato Rey area, right next to Universidad Politécnica, you'll find Rodrigo Dog Suites. Judging by the photos of dogs on Santa Claus's lap, you can be confident this place will keep your dog happy and looking good.
Here you'll find spa, aromatherapy and styling services for dogs. And while you wait for your best friend, you can get your nails done at La Chismosa de Hato Rey.
Nightly rates for a large dog start at $50, and $35 for pets 25 pounds or under.
Also in Guaynabo is I Love Dogs, "created with love and dedication to be your dog's home away from home." They offer several service packages, including specialized grooming by internationally certified master groomers, coat hydration, obedience classes and pedicures.
Prices start at $27 for small dogs and $35 for larger ones.
Finally, Amapola Pet Center has been an option for residents of Ponce and surrounding areas for five years. They will care for your dog as if it were their own, while it receives high-quality attention at their facilities. You can also purchase gift cards to give on any occasion.
The approximate price is $25 for small dogs and $30 for large ones. An extra $5 will be charged on holidays.
In the Guaynabo area you can find Just 4 Pets Hotel, where you can not only board your pet but also buy accessories such as strollers, carriers, beds and playpens. They also offer day care and grooming, so your dog feels pampered and looking sharp.
