ASSESSMENT 

Whether you are looking for daycare or boarding, we require an initial assessment to be carried out. Your dog will be introduced to a one or two of our dogs to observer their interactions. We are looking for any aggressive, fearful, and anxious tendencies. It is essential to confirm that your dog will be happy at daycare and to board with us. It’s also important for us to observer your dog’s behaviour without your presence – remember – you won’t be there when your dog is in daycare or boarding with us. Ultimately, we can only offer places to good natured dogs that can mix well with others. All female dogs must be spayed. We accept puppies for daycare from 2 weeks after their final vaccinations and can board with us when they reach 6 months old. Exception may be made depending on the progress of your dog at daycare or if they show social maturity during the initial assessment. Please note: Only 2 persons are able to attend an assessment and all individuals must be over the age of 16 years of age.


SECURITY

At Hillcrest Doggy Daycare & Boarding, security is a top priority. Due to this, all assessments and initial visits are by appointment only. Our facility is divided into 2 areas:


1/ Collection & Drop Off Area

2/ K9 Compound (Staff & Dogs Only)


1/ Our Collection and Drop Off area is secured by 12-15 foot box hedging and can only be accessed through our coded automated gates. There are 6 high resolution cameras recording 24 hours per day and we have a motion sense camera located at the automated gates that captures all in-coming and out-going visitors. 


2/ Our K9 Compound is secured by a 6-8 foot brick wall with additional fence netting on the rear elevation. Only Hillcrest Staff & Doggy Pets are permitted to be in this area. The only exception is during your initial visit and assessment when you will be given a guided tour of our whole facility.
