New York Dog Spa & Hotel

New York Dog Spa & Hotel handles dog boarding in New York from two Manhattan locations, one near Gramercy Park and one in Kips Bay. Dogs also come for daycare, grooming, and training, and the same team covers all of it.

What they offer

The setup works for dogs staying the night and for dogs who just need somewhere to spend the day.

• Overnight boarding in private suites
• Dog daycare with indoor play space
• Grooming
• Training
• Staff on-site 24/7

What makes it different

The boutique framing is the real distinction here. Instead of a large-format kennel, both sites are run as smaller, more personal spaces, and enrichment and playtime are treated as part of the day rather than an upsell. Supervision runs around the clock, so there is a person in the building overnight instead of a locked door until morning. That matters most for dogs who do poorly alone, or for owners on long trips who want someone awake if something goes sideways at 3 a.m.

The two locations are not interchangeable. The Gramercy Park site is described as the quieter, more intimate of the pair, suited to dogs who get overwhelmed in a crowd. The Kips Bay location leans social and busy, with more room for group play and the full range of services under one roof. Owners with a shy dog and owners with a dog who wants friends will likely pick differently.

Practical details

Booking goes through the business directly. The phone number listed is (213) 584-5161, and email reaches them at 20th@dogspa.com. Service details and pages for each of the two locations are on the website at dogspa.com. Anyone deciding between the neighborhoods should ask which room type and play group fits their dog, since the two sites are run with different atmospheres in mind.
