Top rated Lykens dog boarders
“Very pleased with this boarding experience, 100% satisfied. Sowmya and her husband sent us lots of photos and videos, responded quickly whenever I had a question throughout the whole process. They took our dog for lots of walks and they have a nice property for dogs to enjoy. Highly recommend!”
“We live a good distance from family, and typically make the drive home before weekend adventures or getaways to make sure our eight year old Irish Wolfhound mix is in great hands while we’re away. After a move brought our home base closer to central PA, we were a little unsure about finding a dog sitter closer to us, but after meeting Allison and her sidekick, Sadie, I couldn't be more grateful! From our very first meet and greet, Allison put us - and our guy - at such ease and Obie loved having a playmate. You can tell almost immediately how much she genuinely cares for the dogs staying with her. Her space is very dog friendly, and as an added bonus, her "house rules" are the same as our house, which makes things so easy. She was so kind to send lots of pictures during our guy's stay. Seeing how happy he was in each picture made it clear we’ve found a gem in Allison. Thank you, Allison! Obie can't wait to see you and Sadie again soon.”
“Steffany and Juan took great care of our dog for six nights while we were away. She enjoyed their company and the other pups that were with her. Definitely would work with them again before using a kennel.”
“Pam & Michael were excellent hosts of my babies! My 2 girls loved their stay with them and Pam & Michael provided updates to me on them daily while I was gone. I'd highly recommend them for anyone to leave their dogs with!”
“Sujeong & Changsun were extremely attentive to our dog. Cooper had a great stay! They sent us updates throughout the night which kept us more at ease as Cooper can be rather anxious at times. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a pet sitter in this area!”
“CJ was kind and capable of caring for our Cat. He has FIV and needs a lot of medication which CJ was able to keep up with. Westley enjoyed his trip, and we received photos and updates daily. We will definitely be using CJ again if we ever need to board our cat again.”
“Maria is AMAZING! She took such wonderful care of our dog. She treated her as her own and sent daily photos and videos! I would HIGHLY recommend Maria to anyone looking for a sitter! We will certainly be booking with her again!❤️❤️”

Thank uou soooo much for the excellent care!!!!”
“Marinda did a great job with our dogs so much so that it appeared they didn’t want to leave lol. 2nd time we’ve utilized her services and will be reaching out again for our next vacation.”
“Ryan was an amazing dog sitter! We have a 13 week old golden retriever. So it was our first time leaving her. He made us feel so comfortable during our vacation that our fur baby was being taken care of every minute we were away. The many pictures we got every day made it clear she was loving playing with Ryan’s dog and felt at home with his family! Communication was perfect. Response time was great. Accommodations were fantastic. We definitely will be using Ryan again for our boarding needs!!”
“Madison was extremely accommodating. This was my first time using Rover and I took my dog to meet Madison before we used this service. I received many updates throughout the stay. Highly recommended!!”
“Michaela was incredible! This was our first time using Rover or anyone other than friends/family watching Maggie (as she was a rescue dog and severely abused when we got her) - she was so good with Maggie! Maggie is older (17) and needs extra love and attention and she def got that and more. We will def use Michaela again!”
“If we can't have our kitties with us, we know that they will always be safe, happy and well cared for by Crystal. She is kind, cheerful, and always accommodating to our needs it just doesn't get any better than that!”
