Boarding Your Pet at Skyline

Nationally acclaimed as an AKC breeding kennel, Skyline Kennels expanded to include boarding facilities. With our many years of experience caring for our own dogs, caring for your dog or cat just seemed a natural direction to go. Under Don’s watchful eye as a professional trainer, you can rest-assured that your animal will have the very best of care. Our location, just off Route 81, makes us convenient to almost anywhere. Our prices are both competitive and affordable. If transportation or timing is an obstacle, we offer a pick-up and delivery service for an additional fee. What matters most, however, is our love and compassion for animals in our care. Boarding can be stressful on both pets and owners. We work hard to make sure your pet is as comfortable as possible while you’re away and, therefore, that you can rest a little easier knowing they’re in good hands.

Physical Description of the Kennels:

Our kennels and play area are cleaned and sanitized daily. We have multiple sizes of kennels to accommodate dogs as large as St. Bernard's and dogs and/or cats as small as Chihuahuas. Our facility is climate controlled; cool in the summer and warm in the winter. We have radiant heat throughout the floors of the kennels, making it nice and toasty year-round. We have a fully fenced in area. Depending upon your preference, your dog can either run loose while out or be walked on a leash around the area. The surface is safe, clean, and designed to keep fleas, ticks, and parasites at a bare minimum. We have lots of bouncy toys, balls, and fun playthings to keep the dogs occupied and stimulated while they’re out. In the warm weather, a wading pool is provided for those that like to splash and do a little sunbathing.


What to Expect

When you call to make a reservation for your animal (and please give us as much advance notification as possible), we’ll ask some basic questions such as your name, address, phone number, and the name of your pet. We’ll want to know the date you plan to drop your pet off for boarding and the date you plan to pick him/her up.
We have flexible hours for drop-off and pick-up, and we’ll work with you to come up for times that are good for us both. Once a time is set, please try to keep to that time as closely as you can to avoid encounters with the comings and goings of other pets.

At the time you make the reservation, we will give you the total cost of the stay. If your animal requires medication, it will be administered per your instructions for an additional daily fee.
Please bring payment in cash when you drop your pet off for boarding. We will also ask for an emergency contact number as well as the name of your vet for our records. And, please note… we will not release your pet to anyone other than you unless you specifically give us permission to do so.

You are welcome and encouraged to bring along a favorite toy, chewie, or bed / blanket - anything you think will make your pet more comfortable while you’re away. Since it is stressful for them, please bring their own food to avoid having to make a digestive change that could upset his/her stomach. And, unless you tell us otherwise, your pet will get a biscuit or special treat from us a few times a day.

Our Requirements

For the well-being and protection of all our boarders, the following stipulations apply: Please keep in mind that these precautions are for your pet’s protection as well as the other animals we are boarding.

Absolutely no animals will be taken in for boarding without proof of the necessary immunizations. You must provide us with a record from your vet stating proof of rabies, DHLLP, and bordetella (kennel cough).
No female dog will be accepted if she is in heat.
No ill animals will be accepted.
No animals with a flea/tick infestation will be accepted.

So, there you have it. We don’t take the care of your beloved pet lightly. Having dogs ourselves, we are very aware of the concerns we have when we’re away from them. Knowing that, we pledge to do our very best to make the kenneling experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible - for you both.
