16 | LUXlife Magazine he Royal Pets Hotel was established in 1982, with the aim to provide luxury boarding for dogs and cats across the Greater Toronto Area and beyond. The establishment was taken over by Jennifer Dahinten and her family in 2009, with a mission of maintaining the luxury getaway’s state-of-the-art facilities whilst enhancing its offerings to ensure the best pet boarding experience possible. Today, the Royal Pets Hotel works closely with pet owners to offer a safe, fun, and nurturing home away from home for their pets. Whether clients are visiting for training, daycare, grooming, or a vacation, the Royal Pets Hotel team are dedicated to meeting the unique needs of each new client whilst providing a loving environment complete with fun activities, new friends, and stunning countryside surroundings. The Boarding Experience offers canine and feline clients a luxurious retreat in a hotel room equipped with all the comforts of home. Guests are provided with comfortable suites instead of crates or kennels, with raised beds and bedding; climate control throughout the seasons; individualised care, with a full maid and laundry service; exclusive use of an attached porch; calming music throughout the hotel; and customised activities and play options. The Royal Pets Hotel also offers Jobs 4 Dogs, an enriching dog daycare that combines fun and play with structure and routine. The hotel recognises that dogs have been bred for specific jobs for millennia, and provides its daycare guests with a suite of solo and mixed activities designed specifically to meet their social, emotional, and mental needs whilst fulfilling their core purpose. Through Pawsitive Pet Behaviour and Training, the Royal Pets Hotel focuses on creating a closer bond between its canine clients and their owners. Training begins with a comprehensive two-day assessment to develop a tailored training plan for the dog’s “working vacation”, with the stay’s duration and activities depending on each dog’s unique learning curve and owner’s objectives. Across each unique training plan, the Royal Pets Hotel team works in alignment with the Association of Professional Dog Trainers’ LIMA statement – standing for Least Invasive, Minimally Aversive – to ensure that all training provided is in the best interest of the dog. Each member of the team is a well-educated, experienced, certified, and passionate caregiver dedicated to providing the very best care to their guests. Best Premium Pet Boarding Hotel 2026 – Ontario & LUXlife Client Satisfaction Excellence Award 2026 Many households view their pets as another member of the family, refusing to accept anything less than exceptional when it comes to their care. This is no different when travelling away from home; countless pet owners are straying away from the traditional boarding kennel model, instead opting to work with premium establishments that can meet their pet’s unique temperament and needs. Today we celebrate The Royal Pets Hotel in the Pet Products and Services Awards 2026, a leading establishment that has made a name for delivering safe, nurturing, and deeply personal boarding experiences for each pet it boards. To maintain its exceptional standards of care, the Royal Pets Hotel team is led by experienced veterinary technicians. All employees undergo advanced third-party training in pet care and behaviour regardless of their previous experience, and the team works closely with veterinary clinics around the province, who actively consult on the hotel’s practices. The result is a premium boarding hotel offering superior care, the highest health and safety standards for pets, and the ultimate peace of mind for their owners. Since taking over the Royal Pets Hotel, Jennifer Dahinten has worked tirelessly to create a calming retreat for cats and dogs alike, forming open partnerships with the hotel’s pet parents to ensure that its offerings are always provided with the pet’s best interest in mind. This ongoing mission has made it possible for pet owners to make activity, lifestyle, and travel choices that are not always available with their pets in tow, not only earning the Royal Pets Hotel the LUXlife Client Satisfaction Excellence Award 2026 but also its status as Ontario’s Best Premium Pet Boarding Hotel 2026.
