The climate-controlled spots are cleaned after each use and can be monitored on the owner's smartphone.

They cater to pets comfort and owners convenience with a map that allows you to view where the service is offered and reserve a spot in advance.

"Being able to go onto the app and see that they're doing okay and they're not freaking out, and they're nice and relaxed, and probably cooler than you are walking around the store," says Shannon McLaughlin, a pet owner.
