Wulan Purwono and Indri Puteri both share a love of animals. The two women met through an organization for animal lovers and bonded quickly despite the fact that Wulan is on #teamdog and Puteri is on #teamcat.
 
As two friends who treat their pets as family members, they saw that most animal care facilities were not up to standard when it came to taking care of animals while their owners were away from home. So they decided to open a hotel for dogs and cats named Savvy Pet Hotel.

The cat room. Offering a service that includes an air-conditioned room, organic food, snack time, a daily walk, 24-hour security and daily health reports, the price for a one-day stay ranges from Rp 75,000 (US$5.60) to Rp 180,000.

Unlike in most animal care facilities, where they put pets inside a cage, the three-story establishment serves its guests with enclosed cubicles.
 
“We have one room filled with cubicles for cats and several rooms for dogs based on their size,” said Indri during an opening event on Saturday.

A small cafe for visitors. The hotel provides a small shop where pet owners can order a meal or purchase cute outfits for their beloved cats and dogs.

'€œWe had one dog who couldn'€™t take the stairs and the owner asked us to carry it upstairs and downstairs,'€ recalled Wulan.
 
'€œThe dog was huge so we asked the owner whether we could train it to go up and down the stairs on its own.'€
 
For animal lovers who wish to only visit the place, the hotel also has a pet-friendly café and a small shop where people can come with their pets to enjoy food or buy cute outfits for their beloved cats and dogs. (kes)(+)
