Pet Boarding Catasauqua

About: I grew up with dogs, cats, horses, and chickens, showing horses and dogs. While in college I started a pet sitting and grooming business and was a key-holding dog care and training volunteer for the Easton SPCA. I fostered many dogs and had two litters born here. I became a clicker trainer when Karen Pryor first introduced it to the dog world and have attended numerous professional dog and animal training seminars and workshops. I later became a certified master groomer and certified canine esthetician as well as a professional scent detection trainer/handler/NACSW judge. I became known as the "dog lady" and a "dog whisperer". I've also studied and practiced animal communication and canine massage. I also worked for a veterinarian and have studied canine nutrition extensively. I've had numerous dogs stay with me over the years and they all leave happy! In this house, dogs are our children, not just pets. On an average day, I groom one or two small dogs at my in-home salon, cook and bake for humans and dogs, read and write. Other than going to church and walking dogs, I'm certainly a homebody! Caring for dogs has always fit my life perfectly. Having grown-up with horses, I'm extremely safety-conscious (horse owners know what I mean!) I have a fenced yard and use a double gate system in the house. I have various ex-pens, crates, puppy playpens, a dog stroller, doggy litter boxes and housebreaking pads if needed. My days revolve around my Havachon, Hazel, and my frequent houseguest, Oliver (mini Dachshund/Rat Terrier). I also have a grooming salon at the house. I've lived in Palmer Township for 30 years and know all the best places to walk dogs!

“Excellent care. Provided pictures and updates. Isabella I will definetly use again in the future. She has a very caring personality and really seems to love animals.”

“Lenah took such good care of our boys while we were away. Very caring, conscientious, obviously truly loves dogs. They had a safe, caring place to stay and it gave me such peace of mind knowing they were happy, relaxed, and healthy with her. She took great care with all the details of feeding & medicating senior dogs. We got loads of updates every day and it took the stress of leaving them away, letting us focus on a trip of a lifetime. Very highly recommended. Thank you!”

“Piper loved staying with Jason and the other furry folks! She is a bit sensitive and Jason quickly made her feel secure and happy and loved. We will bring her back to stay the next time we travel.”

Wendy U.

“Missy is fantastic. Our 2 dogs were extremely well cared for during their stay. We received lots of updates and saw how well our pets were doing.”

About: I have over 30 years of experience caring for dogs, children, and seniors. As a lifelong dog owner, I have cared for puppies through their senior years and experience administering oral medications and providing the extra patience and attention that older dogs often need. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs and treat every pet as if they were my own. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and low-stress environment where your dog feels comfortable, secure, and well cared for while you're away. For your peace of mind, I have current background checks and security clearances, and I take pride in being dependable, trustworthy, and attentive to each dog's individual needs. I am currently working part time and have a flexible work schedule so that I can walk your dog in the morning, day and evening. I have a three bedroom home with finished basement and nice yard and a safe neighborhood with sidewalks for walking or I can come to your home.

“This is my second time booking with Gwen. Each time was a phenomenal experience. Gwen was extremely thoughtful, provided frequent updates, and several pictures of my pup's vacation. Always appreciated, thank you!”

About: I usually go by Nami. Also, aka, the “silly car stickers person” 😎✨ Don’t worry — I do not bite, promise! 🗑️😉🌈 I love all floofs! Have cared for dogs for about 6+ months. Including, other pets*! (If easy to take care of. Can temporary open for "cats" if meetup works out.) I’ve been around pets quite sometimes, including friends, family, and even pets I meet while delivering packages! 🐶 I feed, walk, clean, play, and snuggle — making sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved! 💕 I may be newer, but I care deeply, follow instructions perfectly, and I’m always learning ✨ First off. Yes, I will use my PTO / UPT from work as I can, if you accidentally late to pickup your pet. If not me, then someone in our household. Anyways. I am adaptable around my weekly work schedules to match your pet’s routine! Morning walkies, midday cuddles, afternoon playtime, evening zoomies, treats, and cozy naps — every moment is full of love, fun, and care 💖 I make sure doors secured before my runs, keep spaces clean, and maintain a calm, happy vibe for your pets 🌸 Meet & greet first always a good option to greatly helps us both vibe well! ✨ I have a no discrimination policy — zero tolerance for anyone against race, gender, age, religion, disability, sexual orientation, or national origin. 😘

“Amanda did an amazing job caring for our chocolate Lab puppy, Zelda! She was patient and kind, gave treats (and even sent some home), and kept me updated with photos throughout the stay. She was also very flexible, which I truly appreciated. We can’t wait to book her again!”

Crystal P.

“Heidi has watched my dog overnight on two separate occasions; she is very sweet with my dog and sends updates frequently. I would book her again and would recommend her to other pet owners.”

Elena R.

“Nikki is a lovely lady who is kind and gentle with our old lady lab. She always greets us all with a smile and welcomes our pet into her home. We are very appreciative of her kindness and warmth!”

About: Hello! I'm an energetic and enthusiastic individual with a HUGE love of dogs of all sizes. I love them so much that I go out of my way to say hello and pet dogs on the street (with permission, of course!). I love playing fetch, tug, and running around with dogs. I even love brushing them, so if you are in need of a good grooming for your friend, I'll raise my paw for the task! I used to have a rescue pitty, so rescues have a soft spot in my heart. I once went on a trip and slept in a bed with three super sweet rescue dogs, coming home smelling of dog...and I couldn't have been happier! I've pet-sit cats* ever since I was a child, and have also watched rabbits and a turtle. I have personally owned and cared for fish, reptiles, and a dog. I currently have a few fish and lots of plants. I have worked with a dog with anxiety and, though not a certified professional, helped train, gain trust, and saw improvement. When a client of mine was about to get a puppy, I read puppy books so that I could do my best when I cared for her and her sister. If you'd like my help with your pet, PLEASE READ MY PROFILE DETAILS FULLY BEFORE SENDING A REQUEST/MESSAGE. I will know if this has not been done and it'll save us both time if you do. I currently work from home. If house-sitting, I could stay at your house if you like, so long as I'd have strong, fast wifi and the ability to comfortably work from my computer. Whatever works for you and your pet and our combined schedules! Please note: I request scheduling a one-time Drop-In as a meet-and-greet to account for my time when we first meet. If you are out of my service area, I may discuss a fee to cover mileage for bookings. At your home, it's your rules! I like to leave a space as I've entered it: clean and as if I wasn't even there. I like playtime with pets and like to send photo updates as well as text updates (unless you need peace and quiet, which I respect, too). I do NOT sit at homes in which cameras are used upon me inside the home out of personal privacy. *Please note: I can and have cared for many cats, but am allergic. If I stay overnight at your house, I will need a cat-free zone to sleep. I do not take house-sitting requests without this zone or with more than 2 cats. I am vaccinated and boosted against COVID-19 and take CDC-recommended precautions with illnesses. If I care for your pet, please know that I may use their picture, including them being in or around your home, on my profile. If you are not comfortable with this, please discuss this with me, as I value everyone's privacy. At my home, pets will need the ability to go up and down stairs, though I can pick them up to do so if this is requested. The floors are mainly wood (tile in the kitchen); most floors have carpets on them. Dogs may need their own bed or designated place to sleep, as they are not allowed on the bed. The yard is not fenced, so leashing is a must for safety, and walking will be on town streets with potential occasional passing cars. I do not generally take dogs out in the car, but, should we need to, my car has a dog back seat cover and seatbelt (I ask that you please supply a harness in case we should need it). For boarding and day care, I request that we do our meet-and-greet at your home first so that I can see what your pet is used to and assess if I will be able to accommodate their needs. If we agree that this seems plausible, I will happily invite you to my home for your assessment so that you can feel safe knowing where your fur family will stay. I do not do boarding or day care for cats. If you'd like my care for your pet, please mention the phrase "safety is my #1 concern" in your request to me. I have been harassed by predators on Rover and take everyone's safety very seriously.

About: Small, large, & giant dogs are met with tender, loving care! I have rescued numerous animals, caring for and training them to live their very best lives. Your furbaby will be loved, and doted on while you are away. I’m available evenings and weekends during the school year, and with summers off, my availability increases! Preference during the school year is to provide evening walks, weekend sitting and walking. At home, I have a fenced yard dogs can enjoy, along with well-loved furniture that all animals are welcomed to use. I have two dogs, two birds, and a bearded dragon that make our home pawsitively loving!

“Katie is wonderful. She is caring and attentive to our cat Moscato. She sees to it that Moscato is happy and comfortable. I am very happy that Katie accepted to take care of him.”

“Lynn has been phenomenal! Responsive, punctual, kind to my dog, and super attentive to his needs.

Thanks Lynn, you’re the best!!!”

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life, and I have over 40 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, cats, birds, and other animals. I previously managed and worked in luxury animal care and boarding, where I cared for dogs with a wide range of routines, temperaments, dietary needs, medications, and specialized care requirements. I also founded and run my own land and wildlife sanctuary, where caring for both domestic animals and supporting a diverse array of wildlife is part of my everyday life. This background has made me deeply attentive to animal behavior, safety, routines, comfort, and compassionate care. I’m attentive, patient, dependable, and very tuned into each animal’s individual personality and needs. Whether a pet is energetic and playful or shy and sensitive, I take time to help them feel secure, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I’m comfortable with walks, feeding routines, bathing, senior pets, medications, multi-animal households, and providing calm, attentive day-to-day care. I understand how important trust is when someone is caring for a beloved companion, and I treat every animal with warmth, gentleness, and respect. 🐾 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because caring for animals has always been part of my life. I have a flexible schedule and can provide dependable walks, check-ins, feeding, companionship, and attentive care throughout the week and weekends. care for pets with patience, attentiveness, and close attention to their individual routines and comfort levels. During walks and drop-in visits, I make sure pets are safe, secure, well-supervised, and comfortable in their familiar environment. I’m attentive to feeding instructions, water, exercise needs, cleanliness, and giving pets calm companionship while their owners are away. I understand the importance of trust when caring for someone’s beloved animal, and I always aim to provide dependable, gentle, stress-free care. 🐾

“Lloyd had the best time at Cristine’s house! Great communication and such a relief knowing my dog is in safe hands!”
