Hilltop Kennels

Hilltop Kennels handles dog boarding in Argyle, TX, along with daycare, cat boarding, grooming and training, from a country property at 12903 Hilltop Road. Dogs stay in climate-controlled private suites rather than crates, and the facility is supervised around the clock. Management lives on site.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding for dogs and cats
• Day-play Monday through Friday
• Baths, blow drys, haircuts and nail trims
• Training
• Report cards with pictures

What sets it apart

Every dog room has its own dog door opening onto an attached covered patio, so a dog can step outside without waiting on a staff member. Dogs also get a minimum of eight off-leash playtimes a day in the spacious play yards. The enclosures are secure, and with management living on the property, someone is close by at all hours. Owners hear how the stay is going through report cards with photos.

Grooming and daycare

Grooming runs alongside boarding, so a dog can go home clean: baths, blow drys, haircuts and nail trims. Day-play is offered Monday through Friday, which suits local owners who would rather have a tired dog than a bored one. Cats board here too, so households with both do not have to split drop-offs between two places.
