Debra's Doggie Den - Just like home

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 !

Kirby and Jessie had a great time with Deb, her husband, and pups! Deb was in contact with me daily with pictures and pupdates! We had a very worry free, stress free vacation knowing our boys were in good hands. Highly recommend and will be using Deb again!

Debra and Scott were fabulous with Scruff! She sent pictures and let me know how he was doing. He was so happy and I could tell he’d had a great time with their dogs when I picked him up! I will definitely plan to use them again and would recommend to anyone:)

Debra took excellent care of Kaylee for us. She sent me updates and I was more than satisfied. I would use her again if the need arose. We are going home to Arizona and I wish she was closer so I could use her next time. She is the best. Highly recommend her to anyone.

Debra did a great job with Stormi. She is loving and kind and her home is very welcoming. It's very obvious she's a dog lover having two nice dogs of her own. I highly recommend her!

Debra has been an animal lover and caretaker for many, many years. She treats her own pets as honored members of the family and always makes sure they are well loved, well fed and happy. Any animal in Debra's care is always in the best possible place one can be!
