Northcliff Kennels Pet Boarding & Grooming, NJ
Northcliff Kennels has been family-owned and operated since 1973, providing pet care for over four decades. Situated on 25 private, wooded acres in Sussex County, New Jersey, our facility offers a secure, homeawayfromhome environment for dogs and cats. We specialize in boarding dogs and cats, providing each guest with an individual indoor run and a private, treeshaded outdoor run. Our canine accommodations include 52 individual rooms with indoor and outdoor runs, each up to 20 feet long with sealed surfaces for comfort and sanitation. For feline guests we offer oversized enclosures and threelevel cat condos large enough to accommodate two cats from the same family. Every pet receives individual attention, a personalized diet, and any required medications or vitamins as directed by the owner.Our grooming salon provides expert, professional services using allnatural shampoos and conditioners, with no tranquilizers or harsh chemicals. We offer a complimentary Pet Limo service that transports pets to and from the kennel for clients in Bergen, Essex, and Morris counties. A licensed veterinarian is on call for emergencies, and our staff contacts the pets own veterinarian for routine matters. All boarding guests must meet vaccination requirements: dogs need rabies, DHLP, and canine cough; cats need rabies, distemper, and feline leukemia. Our goal is to ensure every pet returns home happy, healthy, and feeling as if they never left home.

What people say
Thank you Pam and Chuck for taking such good care of our family pets Blu and Kit 10.
The Best! My dog, Ester, would rather be there than home, I think.
I have been going to Northcliff for the last 20 years... I know a lot about dogs and I trust this place.
The facilities are clean and open to view and the grounds are beautiful. My dog came home happy, well fed and not smelling like a kennel.
