Pet Hotels Market

How big is Pet Hotels Market in 2026?

The pet hotels market is estimated at USD 5.5 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 6.0 billion in 2026. Sales in the pet hotels market are forecast to rise at an 8.6% CAGR and reach USD 13.6 billion by 2036.

Pet hotels market size is likely to be USD 5.5 billion for 2025 and USD 6.0 billion for 2026, and the pet hotels market is likely to expand at an 8.6% CAGR to reach USD 13.6 billion by 2036. Over the forecast period, the leading trend will be the roll-up of independent kennels into branded resort networks that sell tiered rooms. Digs Dog Care operates 37 resorts in 15 states and offers standard to luxury overnight stays, the Daily Herald reported in July 2026.[1] A shared booking system across dozens of sites lets a chain move owners from a basic run to a suite with play sessions and webcam access, which raises the price of each night. FMI analysts advise independent owners to add online booking and one premium room tier before the summer and Christmas peaks, since owners who book holiday stays early pay most for space.

Key Market Trends & Insights

• Dog hotels are projected to keep 62.4% of pet type sales in 2026, as dogs need walks, play yards and staff time every day of a stay, and cat hotels follow at an estimated 27.1%.
• Luxury suites with webcams, private yards and spa grooming are likely to hold 45.7% of hotel type sales in 2026, ahead of mid-range rooms at about 33.6%.
• Within hotel size, small and medium properties are likely to hold 68.1% in 2026. A reduced-investment prototype from Camp Bow Wow cuts starting costs by close to USD 500,000, the company said in August 2026.[2]
• Owners pick hotels with three or more stars for an estimated 58.4% of 2026 rating sales, and less-than-three-star sites hold the other 41.6%.
• Online channels are predicted to lead booking mode with 44.6% in 2026. Offline walk-in bookings follow at an estimated 36.2%, and phone at about 19.2%.

Regional Highlights

• FMI's forecast puts Japan at 10.8%, 2.2 points over the market rate of 8.6%, as single-person and older households keep dogs and need care during travel.
• South Korea runs at 9.6%, and China is close behind on 9.4%, both above the global figure. The United Kingdom follows on 8%. Germany is at 5.3%, and the United States closes the list at 4.5%, as a large network of resorts already exists.
• Japan had 6.82 million pet dogs in 2025, up from 6.796 million in 2024, Petfood Industry reported in February 2026.[3]

Market Size & Forecast

Table 1: Market Size and Forecast for the Pet Hotels Market (USD billion and percentage), 2025 to 2036

Metric	Value
2025 Market Size	USD 5.5 billion
Estimated Market Size in 2026	USD 6.0 billion
Projected Market Size by 2036	USD 13.6 billion
CAGR, 2026 to 2036	8.6%
Added Revenue, 2026 to 2036	USD 7.6 billion
Market Expansion Multiple	2.3x

Room nights in pet hotels follow travel calendars, so summer school holidays and the Christmas break fill kennels weeks ahead and leave midweek gaps in spring. Dog ownership in the United States rose to 53% of households, or 71 million, in 2025, APPA said in March 2026.[4] Many hotels also sell baths and trims at checkout, and a 9.1% CAGR for the pet grooming market adds a second sale to each stay. Boarding is gaining on other pet services, as forecasts give the pet care market a 6.1% CAGR, against 8.6% for the pet hotels market. Between 2026 and 2036 the pet hotels market adds roughly USD 7.6 billion, FMI's forecast shows, leaving 2036 sales near 2.3 times the 2026 figure. Owners cutting back are the main risk, and APPA counted 22% of pet owners who spent less on pets in 2025.[4]

Pet Ownership, Travel and Operator Growth

Pet numbers set the pool of potential guests. About 15.5 million dogs live in UK households, up from 12.5 million in 2021, UK Pet Food said on 31 March 2026.[5] In Germany, IVH and ZZF counted 10 million dogs and 15.7 million cats in 2025.[6] Rising dog numbers bring more boarding nights, as dogs need care during every family trip.

Operators are adding sites fast. Frontenac said Digs Dog Care had acquired 17 pet resorts since forming in 2024 and offers daycare, boarding, grooming and training.[7] A three-unit agreement for Weatherford, Burleson and Granbury in North Texas was signed with Camp Bow Wow franchisees in August 2026.[2] China extended pet transport to 110 stations and 170 high-speed trains by the 2026 Spring Festival rush, the Hunan government reported.[8] Travel options that take pets along will shift some stays away from boarding.

Analyst Perspective

“I see the most new room nights through 2036 going to branded resort networks with online booking and a tiered room menu, as owners trust a name that can be checked before a long trip. Cat-only hotels are the opening I would watch next, since cat owners are asking for quiet, dog-free stays that few kennels offer today.”

Why do dog hotels lead pet hotels sales by pet type?

Dog hotels are expected to lead pet type sales with 62.4% share in 2026, ahead of cat hotels at an estimated 27.1% and other pets at about 10.5%.

Table 3: Pet Type Share for the Pet Hotels Market (percentage share), 2026

Pet Type	Estimated Share (2026)
Dog Hotels	62.4%
Cat Hotels	27.1%
Other Pets	10.5%
Total	100.0%

Table 4: Pet Type Leadership and Market Growth for the Pet Hotels Market (segment and CAGR percentage), 2026 to 2036

Metric	Value
Global CAGR (2026 to 2036)	8.6%
Leading Segment	Dog Hotels

A dog cannot stay home alone for a week, so dog hotels are projected to keep the lead in 2026, at 62.4%, and each stay includes walks, yard time and feeding by staff. Cat hotels, an estimated 27.1%, compete with home visits from cat sitters, since many cats cope with a short trip at home. Other pets, about 10.5%, cover rabbits, birds and small mammals, and most owners leave them with friends or a vet. APPA counted 71 million US households with a dog in 2025, against 53 million with a cat.[4] Daycare clients often become boarding guests, and the pet daycare market feeds the same dog-heavy customer base. Owners of large and active dogs will keep choosing hotels with outdoor runs and supervised play.

• The dog hotel offer runs from overnight runs and suites to daycare add-ons and puppy programmes.
• UK Pet Food counted about 15.5 million dogs in UK homes in March 2026.[5]

Why do luxury hotels lead pet hotels sales by hotel type?

Luxury hotels are projected to lead hotel type sales with 45.7% share in 2026, with mid-range hotels at an estimated 33.6% and economic hotels near 20.7%.

Table 5: Hotel Type Share for the Pet Hotels Market (percentage share), 2026

Hotel Type	Estimated Share (2026)
Luxury	45.7%
Mid-range	33.6%
Economic	20.7%
Total	100.0%

Suites with beds, televisions, webcams and private play time cost more per night, so luxury hotels are likely to lead, at 45.7% of 2026 hotel type sales, even with fewer rooms. Mid-range hotels, an estimated 33.6%, sell clean runs with group play and are the default choice for families on a budget. Economic kennels, near 20.7%, offer basic runs and feeding, and many owners move up a tier once a dog has stayed well. Digs Dog Care sells standard to luxury overnight stays at the rebranded Long Grove site in Illinois, the Daily Herald reported on 2 July 2026.[1] Owners will keep trading up when a hotel shows the room and the dog online before booking.

• Private suites, webcam access, spa grooming and one-to-one play define the luxury tier.
• The Long Grove Digs site opened with a 5,500 square foot indoor play space in June 2026.[1]

Why do small and medium hotels lead pet hotels sales by hotel size?

Small and medium hotels are estimated to lead hotel size sales with 68.1% share in 2026, against an estimated 31.9% for large hotels.

Table 6: Hotel Size Share for the Pet Hotels Market (percentage share), 2026

Hotel Size	Estimated Share (2026)
Small and Medium	68.1%
Large	31.9%
Total	100.0%

Most pet hotels are owner-run sites near homes, and small and medium hotels are likely to stay ahead at 68.1% in 2026. Large hotels, an estimated 31.9%, need big plots, noise permits and staff rosters, and few towns can fill hundreds of runs outside peak weeks. Franchise brands are shrinking the starting site, and Camp Bow Wow said the reduced-investment prototype improves unit economics and widens site options in high-demand markets.[2] Chains will grow by adding many mid-sized sites, each one near a cluster of dog-owning suburbs.

• Most small and medium sites are owner-operated kennels, franchise camps or converted retail units.
• Three North Texas units went to new Camp Bow Wow franchisees in August 2026.[2]

Why do hotels with 3 stars and above lead pet hotels sales by rating?

Hotels rated 3 stars and above are expected to lead rating sales with an estimated 58.4% share in 2026, with less-than-3-star hotels at about 41.6%.

Table 7: Rating Share for the Pet Hotels Market (percentage share), 2026

Rating	Estimated Share (2026)
3 Stars and Above	58.4%
Less Than 3 Stars	41.6%
Total	100.0%

Owners read reviews and inspection grades before handing over a pet for a week, so 3-star-and-above hotels are predicted to lead on an estimated 58.4% of 2026 rating sales. Hotels below 3 stars, about 41.6%, compete on price and location, and many serve last-minute bookings when better-rated sites are full. South Korea is tightening enforcement, with 888 animal welfare officers at the end of 2025, up 10.9%, the Herald Business reported in June 2026.[9] Stricter checks will push more guests toward rated sites.

• Ratings come from review scores, licence grades and staff-to-pet ratios.
• Pet-sitting and boarding made up 23.8% of 24,384 pet businesses in South Korea at the end of 2025.[9]

Why do online channels lead pet hotels sales by booking mode?

Online channels are likely to lead booking mode sales with 44.6% share in 2026, ahead of offline bookings at an estimated 36.2% and phone at about 19.2%.

Table 8: Booking Mode Share for the Pet Hotels Market (percentage share), 2026

Booking Mode	Estimated Share (2026)
Online	44.6%
Offline	36.2%
Phone	19.2%
Total	100.0%

Owners compare rooms, prices and vaccination rules on a phone app in minutes, so online channels are forecast to lead, at 44.6% of 2026 bookings. Offline bookings, an estimated 36.2%, come from walk-ins and repeat guests who book at checkout. Phone bookings, about 19.2%, stay common with older owners and for pets with medical needs that call for a conversation. Pet owners already buy online, and German shops and marketplaces sold more than EUR 1.5 billion of pet products online in 2025, IVH and ZZF said.[6] Open online calendars will fill more peak rooms early.

• Most online bookings arrive through hotel websites, chain apps and pet care marketplaces.
• Online pet sales in Germany rose 0.6% in 2025, the IVH and ZZF release of 27 April 2026 showed.[6]

What are the drivers, restraints, and opportunities in the pet hotels market?

Rising dog ownership and more travel keep demand for pet hotel stays growing. Staff costs and owners trimming pet budgets limit price rises, and cat-only and premium suites open new demand.

• Driver: Households with dogs need trusted overnight care every time the family travels, and longer and more frequent trips add room nights.
• Restraint: Kennel staff wages and insurance rise steadily, and price-sensitive owners switch to friends, sitters or pet-friendly travel when rates increase.
• Opportunity: Cat owners and owners of senior pets want quiet, medically aware stays, which favours specialist hotels with vet links.

More Dogs Mean More Room Nights

Demand for pet hotel stays grows with dog ownership, since dogs need daily care during any trip. APPA said 95 million US households owned a pet in 2025, and dog ownership rose from 51% to 53% of households.[4] Dog-owning households in the United Kingdom reached 41% in 2026, against 33% in 2021, UK Pet Food said.[5] Every new dog household becomes a likely boarding customer at the next holiday.

Owner Budgets and Travel Options Limit Pricing

Price is the first check for many owners. APPA counted 22% of owners who spent less on pets in 2025, a 10% rise on 2024.[4] Pet transport on Chinese high-speed rail reached 110 stations by the 2026 Spring Festival, so more owners can take a pet along.[8] FMI expects mid-range and economic hotels to feel this pressure first, as luxury guests are less sensitive to price.

Cat-Only and Senior Pet Stays Open New Demand

Adoption of specialist boarding is rising with cat and senior pet numbers. Germany counted 15.7 million cats in 24% of households in 2025, against 10 million dogs.[6] Japan counted 8.847 million pet cats in 2025.[3] Pets under regular vet care also need medically aware boarding, and growth in the pet insurance market puts more older pets on treatment plans that each stay has to follow. Cat-only hotels and suites with vet checks are widening the guest pool to cat owners who avoid busy dog kennels.

Which country CAGRs are profiled in the pet hotels market?

Table 9: Country CAGR Comparison for the Pet Hotels Market (CAGR percentage), 2026 to 2036

How do country-level CAGRs compare in the pet hotels market?

Country-wise Analysis

Japan Pet Hotels Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

The 2025 Pet Food Association of Japan count found 6.82 million dogs and 451,000 newly acquired dogs, and estimated the cost of keeping a dog at 192,356 yen per year, Petfood Industry reported.[3] Small apartments and long working hours leave few options when owners travel, so hotels near stations and airports draw steady bookings. Japan's 10.8% rate, in FMI's outlook, is the highest in the table.

Key takeaway: High dog care costs and urban living make paid boarding a habit in Japan.

South Korea Pet Hotels Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

Registered pets in South Korea reached 3.676 million at the end of 2025, up 5.3%, and boarding businesses increased over the year, according to agriculture ministry data reported by the Herald Business.[9] A 9.6% CAGR is expected for South Korea as licensed hotels replace informal care.

Key takeaway: Licensing turns informal pet care into hotel bookings in South Korea.

China Pet Hotels Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

China had 126 million urban pet dogs and cats in 2025, and urban pet consumption reached 312.6 billion yuan, the 2026 China Pet Industry White Paper found, as reported by the Hunan government.[8] Pet-friendly hotels and malls are becoming more common in some cities. China is forecast at 9.4%, with boarding growing alongside grooming and pet photography.

Key takeaway: Urban pet numbers carry the Chinese outlook.

United Kingdom Pet Hotels Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

Dog ownership among 25 to 34 year olds in the United Kingdom rose from 41% to 58% between 2021 and 2026, UK Pet Food said.[5] Younger owners travel often and book kennels and dog hotels online. FMI projects 8% for the United Kingdom, a little under the global rate.

Key takeaway: Young dog owners keep British kennels full in holiday weeks.

Germany Pet Hotels Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

Germany counted 33.4 million pets in 2025, including 15.7 million cats and 10 million dogs, IVH and ZZF reported on 27 April 2026.[6] Cats usually stay home with a sitter, and many dog owners use a Tierpension only for longer trips. The German rate is 5.3%.

Key takeaway: A cat-heavy pet base slows pet hotel growth in Germany.

United States Pet Hotels Market Outlook (2026 to 2036)

US pet industry sales reached USD 158 billion in 2025 and are projected near USD 165 billion in 2026, APPA said.[4] Camp Bow Wow is adding franchise units in North Texas, and Digs Dog Care runs 37 resorts in 15 states.[2][1] Growth comes from chains taking share from independents, and the United States is expected at 4.5% from 2026 to 2036.

Key takeaway: Consolidation shapes the American outlook.
