This video of a Golden Retriever’s hotel bedtime routine is going viral because Maverick refuses to sleep until everything feels “just right.” In this Golden Retriever video, the pup arrives in the hotel room, grabs his favorite toy, and patiently waits for “uppies” onto the bed.
Then he turns into a tiny interior designer, pawing at the sheets until he approves. The calm, cozy moment plays out to “Stuff We Did (Piano Version)” from the movie “UP” soundtrack.
Owner shares Golden Retriever’s cute bedtime routine while in hotels
The Moriarty Family’s @imbluethesiberian shared a video showing Maverick’s hotel ritual before sleep. Emma and Corey Moriarty film inside a hotel room as he stands by the bed, toy in mouth. The caption reads, “Uppies or NOTHING.” At the time of writing, the post had 47.4K likes and 732 comments.
The on-screen text sets the tone fast: “My dog has a very specific bedtime routine in hotels.” Maverick trots over with a plush toy as the caption adds, “He grabs his favorite stuffed animal.” He posts up by the mattress and stares, like he is clocking the schedule.
The text then reads, “He’ll wait all night if he has to,” followed by, “And waits for uppies.” Corey lifts him onto the bed, and Maverick immediately starts fussing with the sheets. He paws, circles, and nudges the bedding as the screen says, “Then he has to make his bed.” Corey jokes with him while Maverick keeps at it “until it’s absolutely perfect.” Once the toy lands near him, the caption calls it “a perfect pillow,” and then Maverick gets tucked in.
Reactions were warm and loving. One commenter wrote, “Dogs are eternal kids at heart.” Another said, “We all need to live Maverick’s life.” A third added, “Awww sweetie you are adorable, I hope you sleept well!!” Another gushed, “I love Mav, he is the sweetest.”
