The awards ceremony took place at the annual FLOW Business Conference held in Tucson on September 24 – 26. K9 Resorts stood out among a competitive field of nominees, impressing the independent selection committee with its outstanding contributions to the pet care industry.

"Being recognized with the IBPSA Pet Care Business Excellence Award is an honor that reflects our team's passion and commitment to providing unmatched care for every pet that comes through our doors," said Steven Parker, Co-Founder and CEO of K9 Resorts. "This award motivates us to continue raising the bar in the pet care industry and delivering a truly exceptional experience for our clients and their furry family members.”

K9 Resorts has become a trusted name in the industry, with its strong focus on cleanliness, safety and comfort. Each location features hospital-grade ventilation systems and antimicrobial flooring, ensuring the highest level of care for pets.

To qualify for nomination, pet care providers must have been in operation for a minimum of three years and must have been a current member of IBPSA for at least six months. Nominees underwent a rigorous evaluation process that assessed various aspects of their business, including financial growth, company vision, culture, animal welfare practices and the educational and certification achievements of both owners and employees.

K9 Resorts is actively seeking single and multi-unit owners to bring luxury pet boarding and daycare to their community.

A category-leading luxury pet care franchise built for multi-unit growth, combining a premium guest experience with strong unit economics and long-term performance in a recession-resistant industry.
