Hilltop Kennels

Boarded my 10 year old German Shepard/​Chow and my 8 month old Chocolate Lab. This is my first boarding experience EVER so I was rather apprehensive. Jennifer was great at calling me back in a timely manner, giving me a summary of what to expect and had availability on short notice (3 days). She understands what fur mommies go though and sent me pictures and a text the first full day they were there. It was an easy drop off and an easy pickup where they were able to speak to my dogs behavior specifically. I will definitely board them here again in the future.

I boarded my 3 dogs (my babies) for the first time last week. The owners were very helpful on the phone and let me come for a visit before we boarded. I was traveling out of the country and text to check on them after the first night and they text me right back. Then I emailed half way through my trip and got an email right back with pictures. The facility is clean and everyone was friendly. I will definitely use them again.

Hilltop is the best kennel I have ever used. We do a lot of travel and sometimes it won’t work with the dogs. From sign-​in to pick-​up and everything in between is top notch. Been using them for a few years and the dogs actually love it. They are kept together which helps and they always come out looking happy, healthy and clean. I don’t bring a bed or blanket or even a toy. To big a chance for it to get lost or snagged by another pooch. Doesn’t matter because the my dogs could care less. As long as they have each other and a blue sky above and grass below they are happy. I highly recommend Hilltop. Just wish they would take kids! I have a couple of them I would like to drop off some days.

Affordable and my dogs had a great time! I picked them up at 4pm after they stayed there for 4 nights, and my dogs slept from about 5pm until the next morning! To me that means they were tired and had fun! The prices are affordable and the people are really nice. AND they don’t charge for daycare or daytime play. ONE PRICE for the whole day and night including playtime and dog food if you need! Definitely will be going back!

I cannot say enough good things about Hilltop or the owners. We have a rescue dog that we have been taking to Hilltop for a little over a year now. He loves his visits there when we travel. He gets so excited when he figures out that is where we are going, that he can hardly contain himself.
The owners and staff go out of their way to get to know pets and their humans. I feel like our dog, Rush, is treated like an individual. All pets are unique and need to be treated as such. They definitely get that at Hilltop. Rush has been a challenge for them in the past with nail trimming and bathing, he is a rather boisterous puppy, but Hilltop has been beyond patient with him.
During our last trip, we had to have a friend drop Rush at Hilltop. We had never done this before, but it was necessary due to a scheduling error on our part. Unfortunately, Rush would not leave the yard with our friend who called Hilltop to let them know. Jennifer, one of the owners, took it upon herself to go to our home and calm Rush down so that she could take him with her. We were incommunicado as we were traveling, but she later told us that she was so concerned about Rush being alone that she just had to go get him. There was no extra fee for this, no charge, no disapproving looks when we got back — just pure love for our dog and for what they do.
I cannot imagine leaving our Rush with a more caring and loving group than the staff and family at Hilltop Kennels.

I just received a call from the owner, Jennifer. She was very apologetic and offered my dog a free one-​night stay and a free bath if I would consider keeping our business with them. I politely declined the offer simply because I would be afraid of history repeating itself. I need to know my dog’s needs are going to be taken care of when we leave him in someone else’s care. Such a shame this incident happened.

Always friendly, take good care if our dogs. As a matter of fact the dogs love to go. Sunday pickup a big help too.

I LOVE Hilltop Kennels. I was almost afraid to write them such a glowing review in fear of the kennel getting booked solid when I need a spot! Hilltop is family owned and run. It is $ 16-​$ 17 a night and the dogs have an indoor apartment with their own little door that goes to a private outside area. They give the dogs playtime in a yard space and nap time in their climate controlled apartment in the afternoon. They take special requests such as medicine or treats for your doggie. My dog has to take regular seizure meds and they are so good with giving them to her when I request. They also do grooming so on the last day I have her there I usually have them give her bath so she can come back so fresh and so clean. When I pull into the driveway at Hilltop Kennels my dog starts barking and shaking her tail and booty. She loves the people that work there. I would recommend this kennel to anyone!
*Tip– when you pull into the kennels it looks like you are pulling into a house driveway. Drive all the way to the back and go in the back building. You will hear the dogs barking. The front area is the house and the back area is the actual kennels. Just walk inside the back building and someone will be in that office.
