Sissy has been boarded twice at our Vet's "Canine Hilton". The area is really quite nice with mock rocks/trees and waterfalls in the aisle between kennels. They play soft music also. The kennel area is broken into two separate kennels, one for big dogs, one for smaller dogs. Each dog is walked a few times each day and spends outside time in a segregated fences area.
Both times Sissy was boarded, she was kept in the cattery because it is quieter and she is small (4 lbs). I don't know if this means she gets extra attention or not. In the cattery there are fish tanks and a very large window that has several bird feeders in the courtyard.
I took her own bed, a few toys, her own food and her harness/leash so a regular leash and collar was not used. She did okay both times, but was very anxious when I picked her up. As soon as we got into the car, she would let out a big sigh and then settle right down.
Although the boarding went fine, I have since met a few local folks who are yorkie owners and we will begin keeping each other's babies when we need to go out of town and can't take them with us. I will feel much more secure with this arrangement.
Good luck to you and Kizzy. Have a great time wherever you are going.
