Hilltop Kennels

Chad n Trish Raap 3 months ago

Hilltop Kennel has exceeded our expectations! Kelly groomed both of our dogs + did an incredible job. She listened to our instructions, asked questions + our pups turned out better than they ever have before. The facility itself is beautiful! The property is peaceful with a pond, with the inside exceptionally clean, spacious + welcoming. From the moment we walked in, we felt comfortable + confident leaving our pups in their care. Finding a kennel + groomer you can truly trust is priceless, and we're so thankful we found Hilltop Kennel. Highly recommend!

My dog is so well taken care of at this facility. He is a high energy dog and always seems to transition to going here very well. They are easy to book with and have done so short on short notice.

Hilltop is our favorite! We tried several boarding facilities in Cedar Rapids and Hilltop was the winner. They took care of our dogs so well, and adapted to their unique personalities. They’re professional, consistent, and they truly care about the dogs.

I booked my dog’s stay over the phone with the owner David pleasant and easy. However, he forgot to inform me that first time customers pay at booking. Something I have never done before as I always book my dog for boarding. Which wasn’t necessarily the problem … the problem was his front desk help a woman with a blonde ponytail. I did not receive her name … she had an awfully rude attitude the entire time of booking , she answers the phone and the client must’ve of not heard her because she YELLS at them 3x *can you hold , I get it but can you hold* . Meanwhile I ask for the total for boarding and bath. She tells me the price with continuous unwelcoming behavior *oh David might not have told you about the first customer pay*. I of course say no, I’ll look elsewhere because I did not intend to pay and she snaps at me *it’s a first time stay* . I simply reply I will look elsewhere she rudely replies BE MY GUEST ! Just distasteful and this did not make me feel like this is who I would want watching my dog!

Fine place overall, but I would not recommend for cats. Pros: Staff was kind and responded quickly to messages while watching my cats. They successfully gave my senior cat her meds (no easy feat). The barking is a bit quieter as you go deeper into the building. The place smells clean. The cats are healthy and happy now that we're home. Cons: The cats are kept in the grooming room, in kennels directly on top of dog kennels for grooming clients. That means they are *not* kept in a room separate from the dogs as advertised, though it does mean there are no dogs in there overnight. The place is next to a set of three railroad tracks and the dogs never shut up, so it's very loud.
