Pet Hotel

Pet Hotel is a cosy boarding hotel seen from the side, floor by floor, where pets stay for a few days while their owners are away. Dogs of every shape, from round pups and long dachshunds to tall lurchers and fluffy poodles, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, a parrot, a tortoise, a hedgehog and a ferret arrive at the front desk with a little card of likes: a favourite food, a favourite toy, a room with a window, a quiet room, a friend to share with or a bedtime story. Drag each guest to a room that suits it, or tap the guest and then the room, and the owner waves goodbye.

Then the looking after begins, and every bit of it is hands-on. Hold the right jar over the bowl while the kibble pours, tip the jug for fresh water, fling a ball or a feather across the room and watch it come back in a happy mouth, sweep up the crumbs and spread a fresh blanket, pull the lamp cord and open the storybook, or simply rub to pet until the tail wags. Hearts earned with care open the play yard with its agility tunnel and paddling pool, the grooming salon, the kitchen, the reading nook and the rooftop garden, each with a quick game of twenty to forty seconds: Fetch, Bubbles, Recipe, Lullaby and Petals, where every round ends Good, Great or Best.

Nothing here can go wrong. A guest who has waited a while simply looks hopeful and brightens the moment you help, and every stay ends with the owner back at the desk and a review of at least three paw prints for your guest book. New rooms, beds, wallpapers, toys and uniforms are all earned with care, an endless stream of guests keeps the hotel busy for as long as you like, a daily visit adds a sticker to your album and coming back after a while gets a lobby full of wagging tails. The hotel, your mascot's name and every guest are saved in your browser, so you can relax for five minutes or a whole evening.
