Keeping Your Fur-babies Safe and Happy
At L Residence Pet Hotel, besides caring for and feeding your pets, keeping them safe is a priority. According to founder Joanne Chee, their facility in Petaling Jaya is equipped with a triple door system and on-site helpers are well-trained to follow an SOP and routine that has worked well for the past 15 years. “The family home environment creates a welcoming vibe for all pets so they feel safe and loved at all times. New boarding pets get enough time to properly settle down and get to know us, building a trusting relationship. To manage and maintain good-quality care, we keep our furry guests to a small number. This allows us to give them the love and care they deserve while they’re away from home,” says Chee.

Chee and her husband William, who both manage L Residence, have extensive experience in pet training, grooming, senior care and medical care. Their passion for pets is driven by the unwavering bond they share with them, as pets are extremely loyal, loving and appreciative. “The pets live together with our family in the same home. They enjoy our companionship as a family, make friends with other regular boarders, and have their own comfortable private room for quality sleep, and a garden for daily exercise. All pet rooms are also equipped with large windows for natural sunlight.”
With super peak periods during New Year, Chinese New Year, Hari Raya, Deepavali, and Christmas, Chee advises, “Make sure to book your preferred pet accommodation in advance. It’s normal to feel guilty leaving your pets for boarding while you are on vacation. There’s no need to feel that way, as a reputable caretaker will ensure your pets are taken care of with love.”

Meanwhile, if an urban pet destination with luxurious features built exclusively for dogs and cats is more to your liking, then Cocomomo ticks all the boxes. In a past interview with Wilhelmina Wee, founder of Cocomomo, she revealed that the hotel was built with affordable luxury in mind. “We wanted a place that is aesthetically pleasing and where a pet owner can have everything at a single destination, rather than go to separate places for different needs.”

She shared that most pet owners who are preparing to travel either look for friends or family members to babysit their pets, or send their pets to a pet boarding centre. “A proper hotel for pets can be difficult to find in the market. This is where we come in,” said Wee.
