Dog Boarding in Ursina, PA

“Wade was great with our little old man mutt, even with medicating with an inhaler! He gave our pup a vacation vibe while we were vacationing and was a gracious host. Thanks Wade!”

“Faith was a wonderful dog sitter! She was so attentive and gave us daily updates with pictures. I could tell our dogs were happy and enjoying time with the other animals. I would highly recommend her and I can’t wait to work with her again.”

“Hodge had a great time at Amber's and made good friends with her pups and her kids! I'm always happy to leave him in an welcoming, family atmosphere instead of a kennel. Amber was very communicative and accommodating; she sent me pics and an update every day. Highly recommended!”

“We booked with Sarah last minute after she was recommended to us and she was so understanding and accommodating even with the short notice! Will absolutely use her again in the future! ♥️”

“Beth did an amazing job at taking care of my beagle for me while I was out of town for a long weekend. I received timely, regular updates, and she provided my dog with a ton of affection, which she clearly relished from the pictures. She has a lovely house with a great backyard for the dogs to run, play, and sunbathe. Highly recommended, and she will be my first call the next time I need a dog sitter. Thanks Beth!”

“Brittany was great with our two pups! We could tell when we picked them up they enjoyed their time and didn’t want to leave - they were passed out in the car ride on the way home lol! I know they both got lots of love from Brittany, her son, and Athena! She even went out and bought one of our pups a new harness because it broke with no intentions of getting a refund which shows she’s a very caring person overall. Will use again in the future!”

About: I have spent my entire life around animals, caring for them and making their lives as meaningful as possible. It began on my families old dairy farm when I was a child, and carried into my 15 year involvement within the veterinary/pet care industry. My passion for creating a safe environment for all animals has guided me to Rover, so I can operate my own business to my own high expectations of love and care for your pets! I have a vast amount of knowledge across all facets of the animal world including medical, behavioral, and enrichment. Pairing my knowledge with my nurturing instinct, unwavering love for animals, and gentle patience; it provides me with the skills and approach to give your fur-baby the best experience aside from being with you! I am a full time pet caregiver! I have flexibility 7 days a week to accommodate any and all scenarios for you and your fur babies! I am available to watch your pet in my home as well as yours. I do have indoor dens for your pup to stay in when not outside with me. I have all types of toys available per your preference. I have water, food, and treats available! I am also experienced in topical, oral, and injectable administration. I will be able to walk your dog multiple times throughout the day. I also have a quiet area for your cat as well!

“Friendly and made my fur babies comfortable.”

“This was our first time boarding with Amber and we couldn't have been happier. She was extremely accommodating with our timeline and provided pictures & feedback throughout our girls visit... this put our minds at ease allowing us to focus on a family matter. Our girl came home happy & tired!!!”

Melissa B.

“Kristina and Mark were great. They were very accommodating with drop-off and pick-up schedules and always kept in touch with us, sending pictures. Our small mixed hound dog loves kids so she had a good time and enjoyed the extra attention from the girls. Next time we are in the area we'll definitely use them again.”

About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.

“Jody was extremely pleasant to work with. She was friendly immediately upon meeting her and interacted with our dogs like they were her own. I highly recommend her and will definitely use her again.”

Janis G.

“Mary responded in a timely manner, is very friendly and easy to work with. I am well pleased with how much she loved on Charli for us!🙂”

Esther S K.

“Kristin stayed in contact with me the whole time Rizzo stayed with her. She sent me daily pictures, and answered any questions I had about his stay, which put my mind at ease. I will definitely book with her again.”

Auriel C.

“Skyler and family were simply awesome. Very accommodating and we felt Milo was in good hands.”

About: Hi Loving Furparents, My lifelong passion is interspecies communication, animal care & behavior, ecology, and environmental conservation. I have grown up communicating, training/learning, caretaking, and translating for animals my entire life, and I continue to follow my passion for animal care, rehabilitation, conservation, and helping others learn to listen and communicate with animals. I have recently lost my soul dog and partner of nearly 16 years to osteosarcoma. I have experience learning life lessons our senior friends teach us; to slow down, smell the wildflowers, enjoy the little things in life, lead with empathy, lend a helping hand to one another, and be grateful for the moment we have together. I have experience with caretaking during mobility issues for both animals, using help-em-up harnesses and wheelchairs. Additionally, I have awareness and understanding of training needs when the human is afflicted with chronic illness and mobility impairments, such as helping the animal to learn and be mindful of unsteadiness, fall prevention, etc. My current SDiT and I are working on counterbalance, DPT, crowd guarding, behavior interruptions, and some preliminary scent work. Additional Background of Experience; I grew up in the area with a variety of species throughout the years, from cats & dogs to horses, rodents, fish, chickens & guinea fowl to turtles, etc. This experience came with interspecies management, learning to hand-rear animals, helping animals learn core life skills, assess and rehab injury, hospice care, etc. Later, I completed a multidisciplinary degree from WVU with concentrations in Wildlife Management and Conservation Ecology. At WVU, I completed curriculum including a Service Dog Training course where the dog I worked with (Gretel) graduated the following year to become a certified therapy dog at Chestnut Ridge. Additional courses included Animal Behavior, Equine Hoof and Limb, Equine Assisted Therapy, and Exotic Animal Medicine, among others. Since graduating, I have compiled formal experience working with both domestic animals, wildlife and protection of their habitat. I had the privilege to work abroad in Botswana, Africa at game reserves where we were able to rehabilitate animals, provide game drives, supplemental feeding etc., and interned at Mokolodi Nature Reserve in Botswana, Africa, caring for animals in rehabilitation. I currently work full-time, which unfortunately limits my availability to primarily evenings and weekends at this time. Well-behaved, socialized dogs may be able to join during office work days. I am considering transitioning to full-time animal training, should it be feasible, which may allow for additional availability in the future. Additionally, I am navigating chronic illness after long covid through schedule modification and mindful movement during caretaking. Thank you for your understanding schedule limitations during this transition. Please communicate with me your dogs needs i.e.; whether your pet has separation anxiety, medical needs or food allergies, usual routines that make them feel safe, enrichment or husbandry that helps positively stimulate them mentally and emotionally, triggers to be mindful of/avoid, whether they have off leash recall or there are chase drive trigger concerns and they must stay leashed at all times, and anything else you feel is relevant so we may collaborate on their care plan to provide them the best support. I do have a large crate available for dogs that are most comfortable with crate training when it is necessary to leave them at home. Our geriatric cat Fluffy lives in the home with us (please alert me to dogs that have not been socialized with cats), there is a rescue parrot in the household, and I have a ~55 lb rescue and SDIT who is very friendly and loves having someone to play and run around in the yard with. She was a family member to my geriatric dog with mobility concerns before his passing, and she has experience with older dogs and cats.
