I drive extra miles to Highland

“Very nice kennel. We’re surrounded by kennels in Middletown but still drive the extra miles to Highland Kennel. You can tell they care about the dogs they board and in our case, with two large dogs (one qualifies as a moose — 130 lbs. of American Boxer), we are extra careful choosing a place that will be attentive to their needs. We found their prices reasonable and would recommend them without hesitation.”

Excellent care

“I want to thank you and your staff for the excellent care that was given to Mo. I am happy that she behaved and that your staff liked her. I am glad that Pete recommended you to me. I am sure that Mo is looking forward to her next vacation at Highland. Thanks again.”

Trusting my dogs to Highland for 18 years

“I have been trusting my police dogs to Highland Kennel for the last 18 years… It is very important to me that when I go on vacation or need to leave my dogs for any reason that [when I pick them up] they are always the same way I left them. This means that they must be healthy, in good shape and ready to go back to work without me worrying about any injuries or them having [contracted] kennel cough…

”During every class I trained for the NJ State Police Canine Unit, I would bring them to Highland Kennel to show what a first class kennel should look and smell like… I have never been disappointed after boasting about the quality of the kennel.”

— Mike Daniele, Police Dog Owner and Trainer

Highland Kennel ROCKS!

“Thank you for your continued loving care for our pets. Our pets have a fantastic time being housed in your kennel. I speak the truth and they say “Ruff Ruff!” and “Meow, Meow and MMEEEOOOWWW!” And we enjoy our vacations more, knowing our beloved pets are in your capable hands! We send you postcards b/c we love the care given by you… and want you to see where we’ve been! Highland Kennel ROCKS!!!! Super thank you!”

My dog loves it here

“Awesome people. They make you feel safe and secure leaving your dog. My dog loves it here.”

— Robin Pudlin Lapkin

Thorough and attentive

”I have boarded several dogs at Highland and one cat. I found the group at Highland very thorough and attentive to the fact that one of the dogs, an old Lab, needed a pill administered twice a day for his Epilepsy. None of my dogs seemed worse for wear, i.e. they were not shell shocked, distressed or even ill from the various things that a dog can catch at a kennel. I have had a lot of bad experiences with other Kennels. But never with Highland, so I would not only recommend them, but would board with them again.“
