“Laura was extremely communicative prior to and throughout Harley's stay with her and her dog, Winter. Harley and Winter kept each other busy and the huge fenced rear yard was perfect for him to burn off energy. When indoors, Harley got plenty of love!”

“Amber took great care of my baby. She sent plenty of updates and even put his coat on when it was cold. Her cute little puppers panda taught Krypto how to be a dog. She understood my anxiety and my nervousness with leaving my baby with a stranger. I will definitely be using Amber in the future.”

“We always feel so at peace knowing our babies are in great care with Daniela and her family. We can tell from the photos she sends us that our pups are having the best time with her! Highly recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

About: Hello, my name is Haley and I’m located in Nanticoke! I’ve been around dogs & taking care of them since I was little! I have a fur baby, a German Shepherd who’s the sweetest boy and would love to have some friends. I have a fenced backyard where your pup can run. I’ll also take them on walks & give them lots of snuggles! I am currently available all day! So I am able to give your pup undivided attention and love. I will take them on walks and play in the backyard with them as well! I have a fenced in yard and a fur bay of my own to keep them company. I have a crate if need be as well.
“Anna gave a great deal of attention to my nearly 17yo cockapoo who was blind and in diapers 24/7 the last yr. He had gotten down to 7 lbs from 16 but still spent every waking moment on the prowl for food. When I found out I had colon cancer that required surgery ASAP i took a couple days reading boarders profiles and reviews before choosing Anna. We talked extensively about peanut 2x before boarding. She got back yo me fast when contacted and sent daily video updates. As Peanut has severe separation anxiety, I was concerned but had to board him and I choose well! Anna is sweet, sensative, caring, & attentive to the animal. I would highly recommend her no matter your dog’s needs. Shes the best!”

“Fatima took care of our 75lb high energy Pitbull like it was her very own dog. We left for a vacation for 16 days and Fatima took over as both Mom and Pack Leader. She walked, fed, gave medication, cleaned ears, bathed, played with, etc. We got photos and vids daily, which gave us peace of mind that Leo was in great care. Highly Recommend!”

“Adam did a great job boarding and caring for our 80lb higher energy labrador. Very communicative and sent pictures. We also requested Adam apply an allergy meds which he was great at. Would definitely recommend. Thank you Adam!”

“First time with Debbie and we were very happy with the care that Zoey and Enzo both received. Our dogs seemed to settle in and they felt right at home. We will gladly use Debbie again. David”

“MariJeimi and David did an amazing job watching our Peanut and Hershey - you can tell they truly love and care for animals. They gave us great peace of mind while away with frequent updates/photos on how they were doing. They truly went the extra mile to make sure our pups felt welcome. Both our babies looked like they felt right at home with them and were treated fantastic! It's tough finding the right people to trust with your fur babies but if you've been lucky enough to land on this profile you have to look no further. We definitely will be using them again in the future and are so thankful we found them to care for our pups.”


“Sarah always goes above and beyond when caring for your fur baby. This was my second time booking her and certainly won't be the last. I highly encourage all others to do the same!”

“Glenn was absolutely the best. He kept us updated with pictures of our two dogs and showed how comfortable they felt with each other. One of my dogs is a ball of energy so that they had patience with him is great and reassuring. Will definitely like to use their services again. They really help our family relax when away from our two pups.”

“Cheyenne & Waffles were great with our Lainey! We were comfortable at the meet & greet and now very happy after our trip. She provided plenty of pics and a video and to keep us informed of her activity and well being. She replies promply whenever I messaged her. Lainey loved playing with Waffles! We would definitely use Cheyenne again to look after Lainey. Thank you”

“We never have to worry when our Kal is with Jennifer! She takes great care of her, truly as if she is her own dog. Happy to be a repeat client! Would recommend to anyone ☺️”

About: I have three doggies of my own and I love them with all my heart. I have experience walking feeding and playing with my own dogs as well as neighbors and friends dogs. I’m also comfortable with baths and distributing medications. I trained both of my dogs when they were puppies so if I’m watching a puppy and you need me to practice some simple tricks with him/her I’m able to do that for you. I work full time 9-5 so I am available for early morning walks and evening visits!! I am always available Saturdays and Sundays after church! I’m very vigilant when letting dogs outside even if a client has a fenced in yard. If there’s no fence I will take the dogs out on a leash. I have a good memory and I write important things down, especially special instructions you may have for me to take care of your furry friend. For boarding: I currently live in a small apartment in a city apartment building, but there are plenty of nearby outdoor options for dogs. There are sidewalks all around the building for regular walks, a grassy area directly across the street, and a small patch of grass behind the building for quick potty breaks. Kirby Park is also right across the street, which is perfect for longer walks, fresh air, and exercise in a safe, open space. There are no animals living with me currently and I will only board one dog at a time, unless they come from the same family!
About: My husband and I are animal lovers in general and dog lovers in particular. We always worry when boarding our own dogs and, now that we've retired, we wanted to provide a "home like" boarding service for other dog lovers. We have 2 rooms dedicated for the dogs to roam free. Sofa for lounging and television or music available during their stay. Bright sunlight and large windows. We have a large kennel that is outside and the dogs are free to come and go through a doggie door in our kitchen. We have many years experience caring for dogs and our family currently includes 2 bichon Frise. They are both peaceful and friendly and love meeting new dog friends. We wanted to provide a reasonably priced animal boarding service close to home. We are located in Hunlock Creek, 25 minutes from Dallas or Wilkes-Barre, 15 minutes from Nanticoke. Drop off time is anytime from 9AM on and Pick up time is by noon or you must schedule another day. If special times are needed let us know. We will also board birds and small pets at a lower rate. Ask us. Please visit us to see our home ! We are retired and available most days full time - check the calendar. All boarders roam free during the day and sleep on floor or in bed you provide at night. Feedings and treats on daily schedule. Daily exercise in yard if good weather. Dogs roam our secured house freely. Will either be on leash or on zip run if in yard. If dogs need to be separated we have a room we use for that purpose. If your dog likes to sleep in kennel please bring with you or we will provide a kennel or cage (extra fee).

“Donald and Karen are the absolute best! There are very few people I totally trust with our dogs but Donald and Karen are among the few. We are so lucky to have them 😊”

Alden dog parents share their Rover experiences
Amber was amazing! She took care of our 6 month old puppy for over a week when another sitter cancelled on us last minute. Her home has a fenced in yard, which is perfect for keeping your doggie safe and active. She may be caring for other smaller dogs at the same time, which provides lots of socialization and playtime. She was patient and understanding of our pup’s severe separation anxiety and provided us with photo updates everyday. We sincerely appreciate how she agreed to take our little guy on such short notice and provided him with love and care during his stay. If she’s willing to take on our buddy once more, we’d love to book with her again in the future. Thank you!

Amazing sitter! Our pups needed a place to stay with a loving and experienced sitter who knows how to Deal with all different types of random things my dogs do and we found it! Borkie and Norm had such a great time with the sitter and her son! She was super communicative, very friendly, sent pics and videos, fed them their special foods, even suggested potential probiotics! We definitely found a winner here and are so much less anxious having to take our weekend trips and such! Thank you so much for everything and talk soon!
