About Our Pet Hotel & Spa
At Davis Pet Hotel & Spa, located at 8560 N Davis Hwy in Pensacola, FL, we understand that leaving your pet behind can be challenging. That’s why our facility is designed to feel like a true home away from home for your furry family members. From the moment you walk through the double-glass doors and enter our bright, clean lobby overlooking a private garden, you’re greeted by a friendly concierge dedicated to making your pet’s stay comfortable and memorable.
For our canine guests, we provide a spectrum of accommodations — from Junior to Deluxe to Luxury Suites — all climate-controlled and outfitted with raised hammock beds, soft fleece blankets, tempered glass doors, noise-reducing walls, and regular outdoor time five times a day.
Our feline guests aren’t left out: our Cat Bungalows and Cottages feature a perch, a private potty area, fleece bedding, daily turndown service, and full housekeeping. We also have a two story Penthouse that features multiple levels and includes a cat tree.
We require up-to-date vaccinations for boarding and grooming — dogs must have Rabies, DA2PPV, Bordetella and K9 Influenza; cats must have Rabies and FVRCP at a minimum two weeks before stay. We also keep things flea-free by administering Capstar or Advantus upon check-in at no extra charge.
Additional perks include VIP spa treatments (for example, baths or haircuts with our groomer, cuddles, zoom-ba play sessions for dogs, as well as brush & fluff, purr-obics sessions, and catnip tea service for cats) — with upgrades available to tailor the stay to your pet’s personality and your preferences.
We offer special discounts: a $20 credit toward a spa or salon appointment for each week of stay (use within 2 weeks), a 30 % discount for pets staying 30 days or more, and a 50 % discount for deployed military members.
We are also Fear Free certified and practice techniques and methods to help make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible during their stay. Whether your pet is with us for a few nights or a longer stay, we aim to make you feel confident leaving them in our care. We treat your pet as if they were our own, and our facility combines luxury, safety and genuine affection. We’re here to make your departure and return as stress-free as possible for both you and your pet.
