Kountry Kennels

Kountry Kennels is a traditional boarding kennel at 3 Volker Lane in Sandyston, NJ, offering dog boarding and cat boarding on a five-acre rural property. The owner-operators live on site, and their stated approach is straightforward: treat every animal the way its own family would want it treated.

Services and amenities

• Full-service boarding for dogs and cats
• Private suites for dogs
• Kitty Condos for cats
• Multiple dogs from one family can share a kennel
• Facility tours during open hours

What sets it apart

The kennel sits on five acres in rural Sandyston, and the owners run it from their own home on the property. Households with more than one dog can book them into a single kennel so they sleep together, which helps dogs that have never been separated. Cats are boarded in their own Kitty Condos, so a family with both can leave everyone in one place instead of splitting the trip between two facilities. Owners who want to see the runs before committing are welcome to stop in with their dog and walk through.

Rates, hours, and booking

Published nightly rates range from $28 to $70. Booking is handled by phone at (973) 948-0624, and questions can also go to info@kountrykennelsnj.com. The kennel is open 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday, and 1:00 to 6:00 p.m. on Sunday; it is closed Wednesday. Proof of current vaccinations is required for every dog and cat that boards. A first visit is a reasonable time to ask about feeding routines, medication, and how the kennel handles a dog that has not boarded before.
