Why Nashville Cat Owners Choose Hillcrest

Boarding designed around how cats actually behave.

01

Separate from the dog area

Cats stay in their own quiet area, away from the dog runs. Less noise, less activity, and no stress from being around unfamiliar dogs. The kind of environment cats actually need to settle in.

02

Comfortable condos with outdoor views

Each cat condo has scenic outdoor views, climate-controlled comfort year-round, and enough space to move, stretch, and watch the world go by. Bring familiar bedding or toys if your cat has favorites.

03

Small staff who learn your cat's routine

The same few people care for your cat every day of their stay. They learn what your cat likes, when they want to eat, and when they want to be left alone. No rotating staff, no surprises.

04

Up on the hill since the 1950s

Hillcrest has cared for Nashville's pets from 3541 Dickerson Pike for more than seven decades. That kind of institutional knowledge, applied to a quieter cat-only area, is hard to find anywhere else.

What Pet Owners Say

Trusted by Nashville families.

Great folks who worked with us when we evacuated for a hurricane. Small, but our 3 cats seemed happy.

These folks genuinely care for the cats and dogs they care for. They have been in business 50 years at this location. They treat their employees like family and are just all around great people running a great facility.

Your Cat's Stay

What boarding looks like for cats.

Drop-off is quick. Cats are settled into their condos right away, in the front area of the kennel, well away from the dog runs. The same staff who greeted you at drop-off will be the ones caring for your cat all stay long.

Each condo has scenic outdoor views and stays at a comfortable temperature year-round. We provide food, bedding, and basic supplies, or you can bring your own if your cat has dietary preferences or a sensitive stomach. Mention any medications or routine quirks when you reserve and we'll factor them in.

The most important part of cat boarding is what we don't do: no over-handling, no constant exposure to dogs, no high-traffic environment. Just a quiet, climate-controlled space your cat can settle into.
