Pet Boarding Newtown

“Winnie had a great time with Rachel! Rachel is clearly very experienced with dogs, and I felt very comfortable leaving Winnie with her. She knew exactly how to give Winnie the time she needed to sniff around and feel comfortable in Rachel's environment. It was clear that Rachel gave Winnie a lot of one on one attention. She also took her on a walk at the park. Rachel took the time to debrief me on how Winnie's day went, and seemed to really understand Winnie's personality. Rachel's experience with caring for and training dogs gave me a ton of peace of mind in leaving my precious pup with her.”

“Annmarie was amazing ! She kept me updated everyday with pictures and helped my little girl get comfortable quick. She was quick with communication and is very well educated in anything regarding dogs. I will be using her again in the future !”

“Yajaira was great from start to finish. Kept me updated every step of the way with pictures and making sure the pups were having a great stay. Will be using her again in the future. Thank you Yajaira!”

“Amazing! Our Cavapoo puppy received the best care! A wonderful, loving family who took care of our dog as if he was their own. We couldn’t have been happier!”

“Kyle took great care of our dog. He was responsive and followed all directions we gave him about our slightly quirky pooch. We've already booked our next board with him! Thank you Kyle!!”

“Allyson was wonderful. Very responsive and really understood how to care for an older dog. I have never left Lieben with anyone during her 14 year life so I was anxious to start. Allyson calmed my nerves at the first conversation and throughout the stay. She would provided updates and pictures everyday and confirmed how well Lieben was doing. Every dog is different and for me Allyson was the right fit for Lieben. She was kind, caring and the home environment matched what Lieben is used to. Her and her husband are wonderful people who have hearts for dogs. HIGHLY recommend her to care for your fur baby. I appreciate and am grateful to have met such a lovely person. Will book with her again!”

“Prince just spent 8 days with Andrea and her family and had a great time! Took a few days to get adjusted as he is very seldomly boarded but Andrea took great care of him and he made some new friends. Very quick to respond to texts which was nice since we were so far away. Thank you!”

“Cassandra did an amazing job caring for our 4 year old English bulldog for 8 days. Our bulldog is quite stubborn with several medical conditions and she administered all medications and went above and beyond so we can travel without him for the first time in 4 years. Cassandra sent us daily updates and was very quick to respond to us and helped put our minds at ease while away.”

Jamie B.

“Isabel was great! Excellent communication before and during stay, with lots of pics. She was very patient with our older, anxious dog. Excellent physical space with lots of room to play safely. Would absolutely recommend Isabel.”

Carrie W.

“Kathleen is amazing! Molly had a great time. Our dog has seizures and requires multiple meds. She took expert care of our Molly. We will definitely try booking with her again.”

Mike R.

“First thing- Meghan was great! Finn states with her fior 4 nights and I couldn’t have asked for more out of a sitter. She communicated well with us during his stay and is overall a very kind, responsible sitter. I will (and I’m sure Finn) be looking forward to booking with her in the future!”

Joseph R.

“Danielle and her husband were absolutely amazing while watching our little guy (Jaxson) for a quick getaway this week. We were given constant updates/pictures, and he clearly made himself right at home and was as comfortable as can be. Communication was prompt from the beginning and we were truly at ease while we were away that he was receiving more than adequate care. Jax became quick friends with their pets, and was moping around when we got home because he clearly misses them! Could not recommend enough!”

About: I’ve been welcoming other people’s dogs into my home for more than 20 years. It started because I knew firsthand how hard it was to leave my own dog when I traveled. I wanted there to be another option for people like me—people who couldn’t imagine leaving their dog in a kennel but also weren’t comfortable having someone stay in their home. What began as something I offered to friends became something I genuinely love doing. There’s something very special about watching a dog arrive in an unfamiliar place, helping them settle in and trust me, and eventually seeing them stretched out on the couch or curled up beside me as though they’ve always lived here. I still miss them when they go home. I board dogs from only one family at a time because I want their stay to feel less like boarding and more like their own vacation. While they’re here, they live with me as part of my household. I work from home and structure my days around them, so they have plenty of companionship and frequent access to my fully fenced yard. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from very small dogs to dogs over 100 lbs, as well as puppies and seniors. They’re welcome on my furniture and, if they sleep with their people at home, they’re welcome to sleep with me. I don’t routinely crate dogs, but I’ll maintain a dog’s crate routine if that’s what they’re accustomed to at home. I require a Meet & Greet before accepting a new dog because I want your dog to be comfortable with me, my home and my dog—and I want you to feel completely comfortable leaving them with me. After more than 20 years, the reason I do this hasn’t changed. I want you to be able to enjoy your time away knowing your dog is enjoying theirs, too—living in a home, getting affection and companionship, and being cared for by someone who understands just how much they mean to you. While your dog is in my care, I structure my days around them. I work from home, have my groceries delivered and generally don’t schedule activities that require me to leave them alone. There’s no rigid boarding schedule here—their normal routine becomes part of mine. Whether they want to follow me around the house, nap beside me while I work, play, cuddle or head into the fenced yard, they have companionship throughout the day. While your dog is with me, I treat them as one of my own, with the same love, attention and care I give my own dog. Before a dog stays with me for the first time, I require a Meet & Greet with my dog so we can make sure they’re comfortable together before you leave your dog in my care. I board dogs from only one family at a time, so there aren’t unfamiliar boarding dogs constantly coming and going. My yard is fully fenced, and while your dog is here, I follow your instructions for feeding, medications and normal routines. I don’t crate dogs unless their family specifically requires it as part of their normal routine.

“Rusudan treats Stax as if he was her own. He integrated himself as part of their family. I am very thankful to leave him with such a loving family.”

“Thank you, Madalys! Not familiar to the area, a last minute need to take care of my two Havanese puppies. You were prompt and communication was clear. Thank you, again! Highly recommend.”

Melissa D.

“Anner took wonderful care of our English lab and King Charles Cavalier for a week while we were traveling - he was very responsive and took great care of them. They came home bathed and brushed, looking better than when we dropped them off. We'll be reaching out again next time we need coverage for our pups!”

Christian W.

“Catie and her husband were able to take care of my dog when travel plans changed last minute. I was very nervous with a new sitter but they took great care of Barkley. They sent videos and pictures thru out his stay and were very responsive when I reached out to check on how he was doing. I would recommend them and use again!”
