“We love our Dixie girl and this being the only time we had her boarded the owner and staff were great. She came back smelling so fresh and clean and somewhat calmer. She must of liked the owner because she gave her a big lick. Lol. I would definitely recommend this kennel and will definitely take my Dixie again. Thank you for caring for my girl.”
“Melissa is the best! She is so good with the dogs and has the perfect set up. The dogs have a cozy home setting to rest and access to the great country setting she provides with plenty of room to run and play. Living in the country, it is Lulu’s home away from home. Thank you for always taking such good care of our Lulu, Melissa! - Tina and Mark :)”
“We have a rescue Yorkshire Terrier named Baxter who has some pretty serious separation anxiety. (We are definitely his emotional support humans 😊). When I had meetings in Pittsburgh while my wife was in Maine, we were facing a total of about ten days where Baxter couldn't simply stay in a kennel in KC.
I started looking for a kennel in the Pittsburgh area where I could leave him for a couple of days without worrying that he'd be stressed, anxious, or miserable. One of my new teammates, a local dog owner with four large dogs of her own, highly recommended Hickory Grove. She spoke very highly of Cathy, her training skills, and the care she provides.
One thing to know is that dog training is Cathy's primary focus, so drop-off and pick-up times are important and should be respected. Once I was able to adjust my schedule, everything worked out perfectly.
Even though Hickory Grove is about an hour outside Pittsburgh, I am incredibly glad I made the drive. Cathy sent me a couple of updates during Baxter's stay. No, there aren't kennel cameras for us helicopter dog parents, but honestly, the updates were enough to let me know he was doing just fine.
When I picked Baxter up, he was excited to see me, as always, but he wasn't overly stressed, frantic, or extra clingy afterward. In fact, he settled right back into his normal routine. For anyone who owns an anxious dog, that's a pretty strong sign that he was comfortable, well cared for, and in good hands.
I would absolutely recommend Hickory Grove to anyone looking for a place where their dog will receive thoughtful, experienced care.”
