Skyline Kennels

Skyline Kennels is a boarding kennel at 117 Skyline Drive in Salem, CT, offering dog boarding, cat boarding, and grooming on six wooded acres. With 21 indoor dog suites, it sits on the smaller side for a boarding facility. Cats stay in stainless steel condos designed to prevent cross-contamination between guests, and the kennel also takes birds, ferrets, and rabbits.

What guests get

• 21 climate-controlled indoor dog suites, including private suites
• Outdoor shaded patios with security fencing
• A fenced play yard with toys and a kiddie pool
• Nature walks and hikes on the property's six wooded acres
• Grooming, from a freshen-up bath before pickup to nail clipping and grinding

What sets it apart

The range of animals is unusual for a kennel this size. Dogs, cats, and exotic pets all board here, which helps a household that travels and needs to place more than one kind of animal. Staff administer medication, so a dog on a daily dose or an injection schedule can still stay. Grooming happens on site, meaning a dog can go home clean after a long stay instead of needing a separate appointment somewhere else.

Booking and practical details

Reservations are handled by phone at (860) 859-0353. Boarding runs $39 to $69 per day depending on the pet and the package, based on rates published on the kennel's own site.
