Why Trust Highland Kennel To Board Your Dog in New Jersey?
Established in 1978
Highland Kennel has been proudly serving New Jersey pet owners since 1978. With nearly five decades of experience, their team has mastered the art of compassionate, professional pet care. Their long-standing reputation speaks for itself—generations of satisfied clients trust Highland Kennel to care for their furry family members like their own.
Indoor & Outdoor Covered Runs
Each pet enjoys its own private indoor suite connected to an oversized outdoor run, offering plenty of space to move, stretch, and relax. The outdoor areas are fully covered for protection from sun, rain, and snow, ensuring your pet remains comfortable and safe in any weather.
Supervised Attention
At Highland Kennel, pets are never left alone without care or observation. Their dedicated team provides consistent, supervised attention to every guest, monitoring their health, mood, and comfort. Whether it’s a playful pup or a senior dog needing extra patience, the staff is attentive, caring, and always nearby.
24-Hour Relaxing Music
To keep pets calm and relaxed, Highland Kennel plays soothing music around the clock. The gentle background sound helps reduce anxiety, particularly for dogs that are sensitive to new environments. This thoughtful touch creates a peaceful, home-like atmosphere that promotes rest and comfort during their stay.
Twice Daily Feedings & Nutritious Snacks
Regular feeding schedules are key to a happy, healthy pet. Highland Kennel provides two nutritious meals a day—plus treats and snacks—to maintain comfort and energy levels. They accommodate specific dietary needs and preferences, ensuring your pet’s feeding routine stays consistent even while away from home.
Confortable Kuranda Pet Beds
Every guest at Highland Kennel rests on a high-quality Kuranda bed. These elevated, orthopedic-style beds promote joint health, airflow, and cleanliness by keeping pets off the floor. They’re durable, hygienic, and extra comfortable—offering the perfect place for your pet to lounge or nap after playtime.
Doggy Playtime & Activities
Highland Kennel believes exercise and social interaction are vital for every dog’s wellbeing. They offer daily playtime where dogs can stretch, run, and play under supervision. These sessions help pets burn energy, stay mentally stimulated, and enjoy their time away, reducing stress and promoting happy, tail-wagging behavior.
Immaculate Facilities & Constant Disinfection
Cleanliness is one of Highland Kennel’s top priorities. The facility is sanitized and disinfected multiple times a day to ensure a spotless, healthy environment. Every kennel, surface, and feeding area is maintained with strict hygiene standards, giving pet owners peace of mind that their animals are safe and protected.
Grooming Available On-Site!
For added convenience, Highland Kennel offers professional dog grooming services right on-site. Whether it’s a simple bath, nail trim, or full grooming session, pets can return home looking fresh and clean. This service saves you time and allows your furry friend to enjoy a full spa-like experience during their stay.
Loving Care & Trusted Dog Boarding Reputation
Highland Kennel has built an outstanding reputation throughout New Jersey for its genuine, loving care. Clients come from near and far because they know their pets will receive exceptional treatment from people who truly care. The staff treats every animal as part of the family, creating a warm, trustworthy atmosphere that sets them apart.
What Our Clients Are Saying!
Highland Kennel has been absolutely wonderful for our new puppy Sparkle! We mainly use them for overnight boarding, and every experience has been fantastic. The staff is always kind, attentive, and truly caring. Most importantly, you can tell they love what they do. Sparkle practically jumps with excitement the moment we pull into the parking lot, which says everything about how much she enjoys her time there. We also love how fresh and clean she looks after her grooming sessions at the end of her stay. She always comes home happy!. It’s such a relief knowing Ruby is in such good hands when we have to be away. We’re so grateful to have found Highland Kennel and couldn’t recommend them more!
– Brian O., Toms River, NJ ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Highland Kennel in Howell, New Jersey is simply fantastic! From the very first visit, they made me feel completely welcome and comfortable, like part of their family. I instantly knew my fur baby would be in great hands. Our dog, Snickers, was overjoyed to be there, playing with other pups and enjoying all the attention from the caring staff. She always comes home happily tired. Total proof of all the fun she had! It’s clear they genuinely pay attention to every little detail and care deeply about each pet. Knowing she’s happy, safe, and well-loved gives me total peace of mind. I couldn’t recommend Highland Kennel more and we will definitely be coming back!
