- Two Walker Hotels in NYC are offering pup psychic appointments through Aug. 26. For up to $500, guests get an overnight stay while their dogs get pampered and a meeting with a medium who will offer “intuitive insights into your dog’s inner world.”
New York City’s Walker Hotels is going to the dogs.
The company’s Tribeca and Greenwich Village locations have both added a bundle of new services to lure four-legged guests (and their human companions) to stay there. And at the top of that list is a Pup Psychic in Residence.
The wellness package for canines will be available through Aug. 26 and is being done in conjunction with Happy Trails, a NYC doggy day-care facility, and pet food brand Ollie.
The offering, called the Inner Pup Package, runs between $340 and $380 per night at the Walker Hotel Tribeca. Guests at the Walker Hotel Greenwich Village will pay $495 a night. For those rates, your dog will get:
- A virtual reading with the hotel’s Pup Psychic in Residence, which the company says will offer you, as a pet owner, “intuitive insights into your dog’s inner world—from temperament to secret quirks and preferences.”
- A day pass to Happy Tails, where they can socialize at either an indoor or outdoor space.
- An in-room menu from Ollie, which includes jerky treats and doggo ice cream (from Ollie’s collaboration with Van Leeuwen Ice Cream). That meal will align with their temperament and preferences, based on their psychic reading.
Luxury experiences for dogs are hardly new. Last year, Bark Air took to the sky—an airline that caters to dogs (and their humans) with first-class experiences in a private GulfStream jet. And even typical dog owners spend nearly $2,000 per year on their pooch between food, toys, and treats.
Even with that spend, there’s research that says owning a pet can make someone more fiscally responsible (though we’re not sure if that applies to people who invest in a pet psychic).
