Luxury hotels have long offered curated pillow menus, blackout curtains, and wellness-driven sleep programs to help travelers recharge. Yet one loyal travel companion has largely been excluded from the conversation—until now. Dawn Ranch, the 22-acre creative retreat in Guerneville, California, has unveiled The Rover’s Recharge, the first-ever sleep wellness program designed exclusively for dogs. The initiative is a natural extension of the property’s ethos: that rejuvenation should be an inclusive, holistic experience, shared by both guests and their four-legged family members.

“Dogs deserve beauty sleep too,” notes the resort, and this program ensures that pups can fully settle into their surroundings, allowing both them and their humans to enjoy deeper rest during their stay.

Available as a bookable package, The Rover’s Recharge combines familiar comforts with targeted relaxation tools, creating a canine sanctuary within each guest cabin.

The program includes:

• Pendleton Mountain Plaid Pet Bed – plush, supportive, and styled with timeless appeal
  

• Calm & Comfort Chews from ElleVet Sciences – formulated to promote relaxation in a safe, vet-approved way
  

• Calming Scent Mist from Thunderworks – designed to reduce stress with gentle aromatherapy
  

• Dog-Safe Weighted Blanket – adding a sense of security to promote deeper rest
  

• Curated Spotify Playlists – accessible via an in-room QR code, featuring music scientifically shown to soothe dogs

Packages start at $550 per night for a two-night stay, and reservations can be made directly through the resort.

Already renowned for its human-focused wellness offerings—ranging from bespoke treatments at The Spa at Dawn Ranch to creative workshops and outdoor adventures—the property has designed The Rover’s Recharge to mirror the same restorative care it offers its human guests. The idea is simple: a well-rested dog means a more relaxed and enjoyable getaway for everyone.

Set against the dramatic backdrop of California redwoods, Dawn Ranch’s 22 acres span a river, apple orchard, and wildflower meadows. Guests can fill their days with scent-making classes, flower pressing workshops, birdwatching with Swarovski Optik binoculars, and even self-guided guitar lessons with Fender instruments. The culinary program at The Lodge at Dawn Ranch, led by Chefs Juliana Thorpe and Ignacio Zuzulich, celebrates Northern California’s bounty with a menu that blends Brazilian, Argentinian, and European influences, all served in a setting that merges upscale sophistication with casual warmth.

While many luxury properties tout pet-friendly status, Dawn Ranch is setting a precedent by addressing the sleep and wellness needs of dogs with the same level of detail and design afforded to their owners. The Rover’s Recharge isn’t just a collection of thoughtful amenities—it’s a recognition that pets are part of the travel experience, deserving of their own restorative escape.
