Tipton Pet Hotel

Tipton Pet Hotel is a cage-free dog boarding and daycare facility on two acres in Southwest Lubbock, TX. Dogs stay in private suites rather than kennel runs, and each suite comes with a personal pet bed. Cats board on the same property in a separate space called the Tipton Cattery.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding in private, cage-free suites
• Doggie Play Care, the daytime program for dogs
• Grooming and bathing by experienced pet stylists
• Cat boarding in the Tipton Cattery
• Special diets prepared for guests who need them

What stands out

Air quality gets unusual attention here. The building runs hospital-grade air filtration with fresh air changes every four minutes, backed by 16 tons of air conditioning. In a Lubbock summer that matters, and the suites stay climate-controlled the rest of the year too. The two-acre property also leaves room for outdoor space, so dogs get time outside without leaving the grounds.

How pets are looked after

Staff track each guest's details in KennelSoft pet management software, which covers feeding notes and other individual needs. Owners whose dog eats a prescription or homemade diet can arrange that ahead of the stay. Because the suites are cage-free, a dog's own bed and room take the place of a wire run.

Hours, location, and booking

The hotel sits at 12201 Frankford Ave, Lubbock, TX 79424, and reservations are made by phone at 806.771.PETS (7387). Hours run 7 AM to 6 PM Monday through Friday, 7 AM to 5 PM on Saturday, and 4 PM to 6 PM on Sunday. That short Sunday window is worth planning around when scheduling a pickup.
