Pet Boarding Emmaus

About: I've owned three dogs in the past 20 years. A greyhound (rescue), a border collie/retriever mix (rescue) and a chihuahua. Each one unique in their personality, energy level and needs, giving me a broad understanding of dog care. I recently retired and can't think of a better way to spend some of my free time, than with pups. I'm available M-F, and we could probably negotiate some weekends if needed. I love taking dogs for walks. We frequently walked our dogs at Kolapechka park and utilized the dog play areas. I could do the same for yours. Open to broadening my services to include overnight stays in my home once a bond/trust is developed between myself and your pet.

“Tori and Trevor did a great job watching our dog Tilly. They were very communicative and sent pup-dates of how she was doing! Highly recommend.”

“Fhuche had a wonderful time at Sara's. He was very calm and content on the drive back. During his stay he got to play with bunch of other dogs and roam his heart out. I also had a peace of mind knowing that Fhuche was in good hands. I will be book Sara again in the future.”

“I don’t have enough nice things to say about Amanda! She took wonderful care of my dog while I was away for the week. She took into consideration for my dogs routine and his safety. She was very attentive to my dogs needs. He came home happy and tuckered out! 10/10 HIGHLY recommend!!”

“Thank you for taking good care of Summer! She was happy and healthy when I returned from my cruise. I appreciated the communication, pictures, and attention to her raw food diet. Highly recommend your pet-sitting services!”

“Jazmine (and her boyfriend Norman) took wonderful care of our 12-year-old black Lab, Judy, who is a cancer survivor and a bit particular—sweet, but needy and not a fan of other dogs. Jazmine cared for her in her home, made sure she had her morning medicine, and sent us daily updates with snuggle photos that made us feel completely at ease. Judy was clearly loved and beautifully looked after. Warm, professional, and trustworthy—highly recommend.”

“Carlina was absolutely wonderful!! We've had our rescue, Bonnie, for almost 5 years and this is the first time she was being left with anyone - we were so nervous! We felt very comfortable after meeting Carlina, her husband, and her pets. While we were gone, Carlina kept us updated with texts and photos of Bonnie. As nervous as I was to start, those nerves melted away quickly and I felt 100% confident that Bonnie was in good hands. I will absolutely book with Carlina again when we plan to travel!”

Tammy M.

“Honestly the best around! Doesn’t get better than being able to relax while you’re away knowing your furry friend is in great hands. 10/10 would recommend!”

“Parker enjoyed his stay. She asked for a meet and greet before I booked. I got pictures of his walks. Will definitely use Ana next time I need a sitter for him.”

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'm currently working from home; on very rare occasion, I may have to go into the office. If house-sitting, I could stay at your house if you like, so long as I'd have wifi and the ability to place 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 will 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: I’ve loved dogs my entire life! Growing up, I had a Greyhound, so I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. I’ve also spent years pet sitting for friends and family, caring for both small and large dogs. We currently have a dog of our own, a loving mix breed we rescued in 2021. I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet. I’m dependable, attentive, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I’ll treat your dog with the same love, patience, and care I give my own. Im a full time work from home mom with a flexible schedule. I am available primarily Monday through Friday but can also open my availability throughout the weekends if needed. We have a small not fenced in backyard. Our loving 5 year old mix breed pup loves walks and is always happy for extra company on our daily trips around the neighborhood. All animals are treated like family and are given limitless love. I have a 2 year old who loves all the puppy cuddles but understands boundaries.

“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”

“Hugo had the best time with Amber and her cute dog Zeus! Hugo made friends and he always going to be back to Amber! Thanks for taking a good care of him.”

“We, including our dog, LOVE Sarah. She was incredibly responsive and thoughtful. We received frequent updates and pictures. We met her before she dogs to make sure our dog was comfortable at her place. Everything went smoothly and we would definitely be using her services again in the future.”

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I’ve cared for dogs through family, friends, as well as my own. I can manage their routines, energy levels, and will take the time to make them as comfortable and secure as possible. I especially enjoy taking long walks and doing playtime to keep their spirits up while you’re away. I’m determined to make your pets feel safe feel safe and loved in my care. My schedule is flexible. I can provide dependable care throughout the week. I’m willing to work with your pet’s routine, and will do my best to accommodate your needs as well. Your pet’s safety is my priority. I take the time to learn each pet’s routine and personality so I can provide the best care while you are away. I’m happy to follow your instructions/recommendations. I’ll also regularly update so you can have peace of mind.

“Theresa took great care of my two dogs. She sent thoughtful and caring updates throughout their nearly two week stay and was clear in communicating any questions or concerns that came up. My dogs were very happy with their stay and my family was able to enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands.”

Sadie K.

About: I have been taking care of dogs for family, friends, and Rover for years and am excited by every opportunity I get to spend with them! I've been a dog owner myself for over 5 years. I can easily adjust my sitting style for dogs with a lot of energy or ones that are a little more relaxed. I am happy to sit in and give belly rubs or take them out on a long walk with me! My home has a fenced in backyard and there are plenty of places to walk near me. I typically work full time during the week at a non-profit theatre, I'm always happy to meet in person before we make final arrangements. I love taking care of dogs and I'd be happy to spend some time with the dog in your life!

“Robert always takes great care of our pup and follows instructions with feeding and walking. Avalanche enjoys his time with Robert and I love all the pics he sends throughout the visit.”
