In addition, our newly renovated cat room allows the safe boarding of 8 cats away from the general dog boarding population.  All cats are boarded at the rate of $14/day.  Two (2) cats in the same cage receive a 10% discount on boarding services.  We provide Purina Cat Chow dry cat food.  If you feed other wet or dry food, feel free to bring it with you at check-in.  Please note, we do not administer cat medications.

Dog or cat grooming can be arranged during your pets stay for an additional fee.  We will schedule your grooming appointment for the day of pick up.  For early morning pickups, the pet may need groomed the day before.  For grooming services, click here.

Sandy Hill Kennel’s billing policy is as follows:

Clients are charged for a day of boarding on the day the pet is dropped off (regardless of time of drop off) and for every day that the pet is at our facility.  Clients are not charged for boarding on the day they pick up if the pet is picked up before noon.  If you have any questions, please ask our staff for any clarifications to our billing policy.

If your pet's vaccination report does not accompany him/her upon arrival for boarding, a $5.00 fee will be added to your final bill for a phone call to your veterinarian for verification of your pet's vaccinations.
