About Us

BOARDING at Hickory Hill
LUXURY SUITES // Westminster & Destination
At Hickory Hill Kennel we have two styles of Luxury Suites: our indoor/outdoor suites known as the Westminster Suites, and our indoor-only, home-style suites known as the Destination Suites. Both are heated in winter and air conditioned in summer. Both include fun muralled walls and a degree of comfort, not matched in the Pioneer Valley.
The Westminster Suites allow your pet access to their individual outside run, while still having the comfort of air conditioning, via the Plexidoor designed dog doors, that form an air tight seal every time they are used.
The Destination Suites are for those owners looking for a quieter location for their dog, accommodating the pet in extreme comfort inside. With this choice of accommodation we include early morning, lunchtime and evening walks. The Destination Suites are located in our house set back from the kennel to the rear of the property.
Both offer a high level of comfort. We are extremely proud to offer such a facility and invite you to view the two before making your decision as to which to reserve.

WESTMINSTER SUITES
This is a completely new facility in our main boarding kennel. We are offering state of the art boarding, with beautiful tempered glass units, each one with a doggie themed mural, on gorgeous ceramic tiled floors. Each unit has a doggie door to a huge individual outside run. These state of the art doggie doors automatically close behind your dog, thus allowing us to fully air condition the room, or in cold weather, fully heat the room, but your pet can still enjoy the freedom of going outside whenever they choose.
We are very proud of the new area, and it gives you and your pet another option to choose from.Westminster Suite Rates
