Dog Boarding Glen Castle

“Steve was super, our Samantha was well taken care of. We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her. II know she can be a handful and he treated her like she was one of his own. I would definitely recommend him.”

Peggy F.

“Mary once again took great care of my Sammy! He had fun and was tired when he got home! The pics she sent were great and she kept me posted. Already have her booked again and will be booking more and more! She’s awesome!”

Dana S.

“Great, friendly service! I loved the pictures and updates. I’ve never seen my dog sad to leave a boarding stay but she literally turned around to give Alex a lick on her way out.”

I’ll also keep you updated with photos and little check-ins so you don’t have to wonder how your furry friend is doing! Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness come first.

I’m experienced with handling animals safely and recognizing when they’re stressed or uncomfortable. I’ll follow your pet’s routine carefully and provide a calm, safe, loving environment.

“Luann was such a perfect fit to watch our Mabel. She is great with dogs, has a beautiful home, and huge fenced yard for outdoor activity. She graciously provided us with pics and videos while we were away which we appreciated. So thoughtful. We will definitely be booking again in the future!”

“Emily was fantastic with our dog, Noodle! We were only in town for the weekend for the wedding, but if I am ever in the area again, I would book with Emily again in a heartbeat! Our dog can be super shy around new people, and Emily made her feel at home right away! She sent pictures and videos which put my mind at ease that Noodle was settling in perfectly! She was extremely responsive and so caring for our fur baby! Cannot recommend Emily enough!”

Lauren P.

“Coop had just a fun time! As happy as I was to have him come home, I know he was sad to leave his new friends! It was so cute to see Justin's little girl with his leash walking him!!! Besties for life!! Would recommend Justin and his family to anyone!”

Alex C.

“My dogs seemed very at ease with Lorinda. She was very responsive and seemed comfortable with our dogs’ personalities and needs. We will use her services again in the future!”

Amanda C.

“Rose offered a comfortable, warm, and play-filled stay for our dog. He care home happy. Her home had a great fenced yard for easy outdoor time.”

Sue F.

“Vicki and her family treated our Ollie like family! We were so happy with his stay - regular pics and updates helped me feel at ease with being away from our new pup for five days. We knew he was in good hands, and you can sense that Vicki is a true dog lover. She was also flexible with travel delays and patient with my questions. Ollie got lots of attention and time to play in the fenced-in yard. He looks forward to running around again one day with his new buddy, Wyatt, and the family cat! Thank you, Vicki, for welcoming our dear Ollie into your home so warmly!”

Carmen R.

“Bob was a great sitter for Pepper. He kept us updated with plenty of pictures of our pup and gave her plenty of walks and attention. Definitely would recommend him as a sitter!”

About: I am just starting to my fourth career, playing with your companion. I recently retired from teaching sustainable development at UAlbany. I now spend my days outside with hairy friend Herman. I picked up my first stray, Bandit, at 9. I have had a at least one dog since then, I am now 63. All from shelters or strays. I also did doggie foster care too. Known to be gentle and friend of the furry ones. I start each day with a morning meander across the 25 acres on a dead end road. Your companion will be well exercised, loved and cared for as long as they get along with my 14 year old hairy friend Herman, who lets cats eat from his dishes. He runs the place when it comes to house rules. He does not have viscous bone in his body. After three careers and global travel I am recently retired. My days are spent gardening, walking, sitting on the porch, listening to music, etc. I am rarely gone more than a few hours as Herman, my four legged friend, needs special care at 14 years old. I am typically up before dawn, no dog or alarm necessary. My day typically begins with me waking predawn and greeting the new day with my hound Herman on the 25 acres we cohabitate. Most is abandoned agriculture returning to forest for 35 plus years that is bisected by a small babbling brook. Breakfast is then served before returning outside. In climate weather I am outside more than 70% of my day outside. At 14 he chooses to stay in sometimes. Your companion will be free to make their own choice too. My life ambition is to nurture life. I have cared for pets since I was born as my family had cats. There is a fenced area that includes four shaded area. There will be plenty of water, including a baby pool for play as well as sprinklers. This area is shares two fences lines with my garden, has direct access to a walk out basement, and is fully visible from my porch. The dogs will have near 24/7 personal attention and care. I live sustainably. There are no chemicals in my lawn or garden. I have an enclosed porch that in the summer is open air, but no steps to escape. Only with your permission would I walk a guest off leash. Before walking them off leash I will need feel 100% confident they respond to command when other distractions are present. Again with your permission I would take your friend to a fenced in dog park visit as a trial run. Herman, my housemate, is a happy healthy 14 year old he is my best reference. He also has final word on all guest of all species. About an 1/2 acre is fenced with direct access from the house through the basement door. It includes shaded doggie lounges, a baby pool in the summer, toys galore, and lots of attention as the space is adjacent to my garden and the covered porch. It has the capacity to be divided if unruly dog needs to be isolated or there are little ones that just need time away from the bigger ones. Indoors, dogs are free to roam in the basement and first floor. If they are cage trained I can accommodate that. The two beds are off limits. To prevent misunderstanding with bed loving dogs I will keep my guest room. Both the porch and the living room couches are fine. Little ones may use chairs too. The house is really set up for Herman’s comfort and safety. The 32x10 covered front porch is a favorite of Herman and all his visiting friends. Your hairy friend will be delighted by this feature too. One more thing, the hardwood floors are currently covered in rubber “yoga mats” as Herman can not cope with slippery floors. There are also many large dog beds that Herman is happy to share. Opps, where are our manners; welcome to our slice of Paradise!😊
