After a three nights stay at the Best doggy hotel in Oregon, my beloved pets, Buddy and Lucy, a couple of aged Cavalier Kings, have been re-energized. You care for my pets, has never cease to amaze me. They can't wait to get out of the car because they know where they've just arrived. And I never have to worry while I'm traveling. It's comforting to know that we have a veterinarian, Kathleen, and the dog whisperer, Jeff, to watch over them just like they were they were their own. Thank you again for squeezing us in over the Thanksgiving holiday. Don't retire for a while. You're too young! :-) I highly recommend Mountintop Kennels. Joe Leathers read more

Belated review, from first two kennel overnight visits. Outdoor segregated grass play areas, A/C and heating in the kennel apartments as needed to keep guests comfortable. Turns out our 60 lb Border Collie mix prefers recess with the "Littles", and this was happily accommodated. We are very reluctant to leave our pup for lengths of time, she has some emotional issues that came with her when we adopted her as an adult dog. Thrilled to report she received the best loving care at Mountain Top, and the proof was that she marched right in on her second stay with no trepidation. That says it all. We don't often travel without our pup pup. But when we do, we know she is safe and happy staying here. It is a beautiful property and top notch care. read more

This is the ONLY place I'll board my dog! Kathy is amazing with animals! Her veterinarian knowledge is perfectly complemented by her kindness, hard work, and such beautiful, air conditioned kennels. The minute I pull into their driveway, my dog gets so excited because she is "going to Mountain Top"! I trust Kathy and Jeff to take great care of my girl - giving her plenty of attention, socialization and exercise. i will not go anywhere else. read more

After moving to Newberg almost a year ago my husband and I needed a new place to kennel our two dogs, Lucky & Dutch. After calling around and only finding places that charged for essentials like outdoor playtime as an added fee, I was feeling discouraged. Then I talked to Kathy at Mountain Top Kennels, and after speaking to her briefly I opted to drive up and see their facilities in person. I spent about an hour there getting a tour and chatting with her. Here are some of the highlights: She is a vet (she does not practice on site, but has the training to be extra aware of warning signs or issues), there are only 10 runs that can house 2 dogs each, there are two large outdoor play areas and the dogs go out several times a day (I think it is 5 times minimum), you can request that your dog is not put in the play area with other dogs, they will give dogs medication without a fee, and the indoor kennels have heated floors. After Kathy patiently answering all my questions I made our first reservation. My dogs have stayed there 4 or 5 times, I call the staff for updates every few days. I can tell from chatting with Kathy or her husband that really care about my pups and that they know each of their unique personalities. They always come home happy, and it is easy for them to acclimate. The service costs $50 a day, which I think is fair. It makes my feel so happy and relaxed that when I am out of town my dogs are I such good hands. read more

Mountain Top is the absolute best. We have been so blessed to have our fur baby stay here when we are away. Kathy and Jeff go above and beyond, we have been so impressed by their care and attention. Clean, spacious, warm, and friendly. The price is a bargain for the care and service they provide. There are no "add ons" for attention or time outside. They will pair dogs that play well together and cater to those that are shy. I have never seen such personalized care. Our Bernese Mountain Dog has been staying here since she was 5 months old, she is always happy and excited when we drop her off and pick her up. They are great about giving updates and checking in if need be. We will not take our baby anywhere else. 5 stars doesn't even cut it! read more

This is at the top of the mountain. great open space for the dogs to play. I love the fact that it's price per day, no added prices per activity included it's one flat price per day and the Dogs get to go in and out as much as they want and they have heated floors where they sleep which is always a bonus being in Oregon. The owner/caretaker lives on site and is a veterinarian which always makes me feel even more comfortable it's out of the way but it's definitely worth the drive! read more

We love Mountain Top Kennel and drive from southwest Portland to bring our dogs there when we travel. Kathy and her husband are great and the facility is gorgeous and spotlessly clean. There is tons of grassed outdoor space and I never worry about our dogs being cooped up inside. Our dogs spend so much time outside, come home exhausted and always seem well taken care of. They also get baths on check out day and their bedding is always clean! I also love that they don't nickel and dime you for time outside or giving meds. Our boys each get meds with their meals and it is never an issue. Mountain Top is by far the best boarding place we've found and we never hesitate to book with them! If you are looking for a reliable, clean and trustworthy place for your furry family members-look no further! read more

Finally found a great place to board our dog. Kathy and Jeff are great at handling our moody dog. They are very kind and attentive towards all their guests. The location is beautiful and each dog gets his/her own space with ample play time in 3, very large, grassy areas. I hate to board our dog, but will use MTK whenever we can't take our dog with us. read more

We recently left our dog with Mountain Top for the first time and had such a great experience! They have a beautiful facility and the staff are so friendly and made me feel at ease. I always have a hard time leaving him, but I felt like he was in excellent hands. I highly recommend them!!! read more

When we moved to Oregon, one of the first things we looked for was a kennel that would treat out dogs like they were part of the family. After visiting several kennels who actually charge for playtime and potty breaks and think concrete is a dog's preferred relief choice, we found this gem perched on top of Bald Peak Mountain overlooking Newberg. There are no additional fees and the facility is absolutely beautiful and clean. They don't have as many runs as some of the other kennels, but that's part of the reason we love it so much. Our dogs get individual attention from the owners MANY times throughout the day. We'll never take our dogs anyplace else. read more

My collie loves it here and never wants to leave--I call it his "summer camp." He has such a good time running free and playing on green grass w/ his dog buddies! Owner Kathy is a veterinarian, so I feel very safe leaving my dog for an extended trip. It is kept immaculate and dogs are treated w/ love and respect. It is such a relief to have found this kennel--I can go away and not worry about my pup. It is reasonably priced for such a spa-like dog retreat. This is the only kennel I trust to keep my dog healthy and happy. read more

This place is a real find. We were nervous about leaving our German Shepherd service dog for several days. After meeting the owners and seeing the facility, we couldn't have been more at ease. Our dog was happy, relaxed and fit when we picked him up. He even gave them a kiss when we left!! Your pets will be in the BEST of hands at Mountain Top Kennel. read more

Our corgi girls were very well taken care of at Mountain Top Kennels. Great caring owners and great facility - every dogs dream!!! You've got to check this place out if you need a safe and clean place for your dog while you travel!! read more

We have been bringing our dog to Mountaintop Kennels for several years now. This is a wonderful place, even so nice I wouldn't mind staying there! The owners are so great and caring, I have no concern about leaving my little Rudy here. Don't hesitate a minute in giving Mountain Top Kennels a try. Heather W. read more

Mountain Top Kennels is the best ever. We have been taking our dogs there for years and never, ever worry about them, they are so well cared for and loved. They get tons of exercise and come home exhausted and happy. Kathy and Jeff are super and the place is amazing. My husband says that if the food was better he would stay there for the phenomenal view! read more

After checking out several kennels in the area Mountain Top is by far the best! The facility is clean and beautiful with lots of green grass for our dogs to run and play on. Best of all there are no extras to pay for... with a limited amount of 'clients' our dogs got lots of playtime and attention. I loved the fact that after a 5 day stay the staff will bathe the dogs for free, so they came home smelling great! The owner is a vet and lives on the property too! Great experience for all of us. read more

I'd give 10 stars if I could! I have a nervous dog who tends not to eat when his humans go away. Because of this, we would rarely leave town. It was so distressing to come home and find him thin as a rail. Mountain Top is the first place we have taken our dogs where I absolutely do NOT have to worry about this! Knowing that they are so well watched, played with and cared for has finally given us a little bit of freedom. It is so amazing to go on a trip and not have to worry the entire time! At first I thought it was much more expensive than other kennels, but when you add up how much all the "extras" cost at other places, it is really a deal. (and why should you have to pay extra to provide your dogs with 15 minutes of play time?) And the kennel itself is top notch, these dogs lack nothing! I can't say enough good things about the care they receive. To those of us who love our dogs like family, we highly recommend Mountain Top! read more
