For franchise owners Deb and Costas Hrousis, the pandemic was a time of reflection and looking toward change. It was also a time spent with their new dog, a black lab named Apollo. While Apollo loved people, he did not do well settling in with lots of other dogs. “The search for an environment for dogs like him that had private play opportunities led to the discovery of K9 Resorts Luxury Pet Hotel,” shares Deb, who spent 20 years of her career in education, with the last decade as the director of a private school. Meanwhile, Costas says he had the entrepreneurial bug from very early on in his life, working side by side with his father in the family construction business before starting his own excavating business at the age of 18. He went on to manage multiple commercial business properties, and through his knowledge of the landscape, knew that the Lehigh Valley was the ideal location for K9 Resorts. Deb and Costas feel as though all of their experiences up until now prepared them for this next step. “There is absolutely nothing else like it in the Lehigh Valley,” they say. “We know that few things are more important than the health and happiness of your pets. When you leave your four-legged friend in the care of our highly trained and certified staff, you can rest assured they will receive the ultimate experience.” Specializing in cage-free luxury boarding and doggie daycare, K9 Resorts combines familiar homelike amenities with recreational fun to create a resort-style vacation for your dog.
