Up to $200 a Night: New York Dog Hotel
D Pet Hotels, based in New York, is a "home away from home" for dogs. Pet owners who work or travel can leave their pet here for a long period of time, as well as during the day or overnight.
For $200 per night, the dog will have a room larger than some New York apartments. If the animals are lonely, they can be accompanied by televisions that show films about dogs. And if they don't want to rest, they can play with other dogs, get a pedicure, or eat a cooked-to-order meal of brown rice and meat.
