Almost Home Boarding Kennel

Almost Home Boarding Kennel offers dog boarding in Westfield, IN, at 18710 Chad Hittle Drive, and it also keeps a separate cattery for cats. It is a small operation, and the owners handle the animals themselves. Drop-off and pickup are scheduled by appointment rather than walk-in.

What a stay includes

Dogs stay in indoor/outdoor runs, so they can move between sheltered space and open air. Cats board in their own area, away from the dog runs. The buildings are heated and air-conditioned.

• Indoor/outdoor runs for dogs
• Separate cattery for cat guests
• Heated and air-conditioned facilities
• Individual attention from the owners
• Flexible appointment scheduling

What sets it apart

The main difference is who does the work: the owners give each guest individual attention. That scale also shows up in scheduling, which stays flexible instead of locked to narrow drop-off windows. Dogs and cats also stay in different parts of the property, which helps keep both groups calmer. Owners who want a quieter, smaller-scale option will recognize the setup.

Practical details

Hours run Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m., with a shorter Saturday window of 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. The kennel is closed Sundays. Reservations go through the kennel by phone at 317-896-2942, and its website and Facebook page carry more detail on policies. Since arrivals are booked ahead, a call is the practical first step before a first stay. Anyone mapping the drive should use 18710 Chad Hittle Drive, Westfield, IN 46074.
