What D Pet Hotels does

D Pet Hotels (legal entity: DPET HOTELS LLC) is a privately held, franchise-based luxury pet hospitality company founded in 2012 in Hollywood, California by founder Alissa, with a prior background at Marriott International. The company operates five physical locations across Arizona (Arcadia, Scottsdale), California (Hollywood, Encino), and Texas (Austin), offering overnight boarding in private suites with TVs and climate control, supervised daycare in 6,000 sq ft indoor parks and PANT doggy gym, full-service grooming and spa (including signature D-Wrap treatments), positive-reinforcement training, luxury transportation (D-Chauffeur in Ferrari/Lamborghini/Bentley/Porsche/Rolls Royce), and curated retail (D-Boutique, plus in-house Furtographs photo sessions). Cat boarding is offered exclusively at the Hollywood flagship at $65/night.

The core operating technology combines purpose-built facilities — advanced air quality systems cycling air every 10 minutes via seven exchange units, anti-fatigue rubber flooring, and temperament-segregated play areas — with the PawPartner third-party online booking platform. Differentiated service elements include 24/7 on-site staffing (no overnight kenneling), all-inclusive boarding pricing that bundles daycare, feeding, medication administration, and daily photo/text updates, and all-private suites replacing conventional cage/kennel models. Reported proprietary features include the D-Wrap thermal body wrap, PANT indoor gym treadmills, and the luxury vehicle chauffeur fleet.

Revenue mechanics are split between franchise system economics (parent company collects a $50,000 initial franchise fee, 7% royalty on gross sales, and a recommended 2% advertising fee on monthly gross revenue, with $173K–$736K total initial investment per unit) and consumer-facing unit revenue. Franchise locations averaged $1,254,530 in annual gross revenue (range $865K–$1.8M) per FDD for the 12 months ending December 31, 2022. Customer segments are two-tiered: affluent individual pet owners paying $29–$130 per visit, and franchisees as a secondary B2B segment acquiring multi-unit development rights. The company has not raised institutional capital and remains under founder and franchisee ownership.
