Here at Hilltop, we are proud to deliver an unrivalled experience for your pet, whether it's to treat your four-legged family member to Doggy Daycare/Kitty Creche or a longer holiday. Hilltop has been providing quality animal boarding services for over 25 years. We are a fully licensed, family owned and operated boarding kennels and cat hotel, conveniently situated in a quiet rural Essex location, 10 minutes from the thriving town of Colchester and within 10 minutes of the coast. Our modern, purpose-built facilities are renovated to the highest standard, comprising spacious, heated accommodation located on secure, private grounds of over 7 acres. Hilltop's reputation as Essex's leading provider of premier animal boarding services is thanks to the high standards of our experienced and dedicated team. Everything we do is underpinned by our principles of trust, transparency and fairness with the welfare of the animals entrusted to our care at the heart of our operation. We recognise that choosing the right kennels or cattery for your pet's stay is an important decision so we actively encourage you to come down for a no obligation visit to help you decide. No appointment is necessary, however we do ask that you avoid busy times of the day and visit between 11am and 5pm, Monday to Saturday.
