Heritage Kennel - Santa Cruz, California

Winter does not get along with other animals, especially dogs. Heritage Kennels accommodated us, by keeping her safe and comfortable. Picked her up after an 8 day stay. All's good! Thank you Heritage Kennels.

Heritage Kennel is by far the best place my baby boy Ruckus stayed overnight. Thank you for the wonderful care you gave my baby. We will come back again. I highly recommend it ❤️❤️❤️

Heritage Kennel is our Santa Cruz "go to" location for our dog Chica when we are on vacation. Chica loves Hector and the staff and their care of Chica gives us peace of mind when we are out of town. We have been taking Chica to Heritage Kennel for over 5 years and have always been pleased. Heritage Kennel is the best value for high quality pet care in the Santa Cruz area.

Our dog is genuinely excited when we drop him off, and he never seems even a little traumatized when we get him back. I couldn't ask for anything more. 10/10

Pretty good kennel! My boxer stayed overnight and was her usual happy self when I picked her up. She also ate all her food while she was there, which she sometimes doesn’t. Pick up times weren’t clear enough, that I gave them one less star. It’s just a little ways outside of Santa Cruz and relatively easy to get to. I’d recommend this boarding kennel.
Following that stay, I took my dog to Heritage again. This time didn't go so well. I stopped to pick the dog up early and no one was on site. Finally, someone came and when I asked who was watching the dogs he said "The camera's". I understand they are closed from 1-3 pm, but the facility shouldn't be left unattended. During this visit, my dog didn't eat and I wasn't told about it and nothing was done about it. I know she didn't eat bc all of her bones stuck out. She also had a large scratch across her abdomen and nothing was said about that either. I will not board my dog here again.

Been taking my dogs to Heritage Kennel for many years now. They have always taken good care of my dogs and are always friendly. Dogs are happy too!

We have been boarding our beloved Chihuahua at Heritage for roughly 7 or 8 years. He always comes back happy to see us (of course!) and in good condition. The kennels are clean, well kept and Hector requires all vaccinations to be current before accepting an animal. I have never had any complaints or issues. Good people. Good care.

Hector does a great job with my Lily who is shy. She also had an injured knee and later needed surgery and Hector was very careful with her.

He comes out to get her when she goes for day-care. I highly recommend Heritage Kennel if you want to know you best friend is in good hands!
