Cat Sitters in Penn Lake Park, PA

Leave K9 Korner Inc NOW! Following a change in ownership from Karen and Paul Price to Kathy Petriga, K9 Korner Inc Dog Daycare and Boarding facility is no no longer the crown jewel private daycare and boarding facility it had been for the last twenty five years, under the Prices care. With Petriga, the business is no longer a private facility. Formerly, services were offered only to K9’s TRAINING CLIENTS, a perk which ensured EVERY dog was professionally screened and socialized into the packs. This is no longer so, and has certainly come at a dire cost for me. Kathy puts on a great show for you, but she is clearly out of her league with this business. I should have red flagged it when she never opened her front door when businesses reopened. Nothing like using a pandemic to hide what you don’t want customers to see! Kathy deceitfully advertises that she still only accepts dogs trained by K9 Korner Training, a separate business, run by the former owners of the kennel. That she NEVER bothered to inform long standing clients that she was changing policy to openly board to the public, enrages me. I would have pulled my dogs immediately had I known this fact. As a client of over 13 years, I am confident that my ability to assess Ms. Petriga’s ability to run her kennel safely and with the quality of care and standard of excellence with which the Prices excelled for over 25 years is demonstrated in my photos attached. My 4 month old puppy was attacked, allegedly while sitting against a chain link run, by an older dog who was on his second day as a guest to the facility, a dog that surely should have been far from the young puppies. Apparently, my pup’s ear found it’s way into this dog’s mouth, and he literally tore an inch off the bottom of that ear, right through the fence. I received a call first saying my pup was in a scuffle while in the run, whom Ms. Petriga later claimed was a 2 or 3 year year old Boxer mix, that he lost part of his ear, and was on his way to the Vet for Emergency care. Puppies are always separated from older dogs, but I was upset, so I let it go for the moment. Several texts revealed that my puppy’s ear was torn off, marking a permanent deformity in my pure bred English Labrador puppy. Ms. Petriga did foot the bill for this emergency care, but was also sure to collect the $30 daycare charge for my Golden Retriever when my husband picked him up. Classy. Petriga refused to reveal to us the identity of the owners of the dog that attacked, as we needed to confirm vet records. In fact, she refused to acknowledge that it was an attack at all. My pup’s ear was given to me in a Zip Lock. We asked for just a picture of the dog. This was also a hard no. Following several intense phone calls with my husband, she provided the name of the dog, owners last name and the vet. We called. This is when we learn the dog was a one year old Pit Mix, quite a contrast from the 2 or 3 year old Boxer. I will never understand why Ms. Petriga chose to adamantly protect the identity of this dog and it’s owners who she knew for two days over us, who were loyal patrons of this kennel for over 13 years, utilizing both daycare and boarding on a weekly basis for two dogs, happily paying K9’s higher rates for what had always been, until Petriga, superb care for my dogs. My pup NEVER should have been that close to an unknown, older, bigger dog. A dog that never would have been allowed into this kennel under original agreements. I understand accidents happen. This was a BRUTAL ATTACK. Period. Ms. Petriga refused any accountability, protected, with gusto, the aggressor, never had the decency or compassion to call and ask me how he was. Rather, she had the gall to ask me to put myself in THEIR SHOES. We loved K9 Korner for many years. I am saddened to see this business sink to this pathetic level. Save yourself the heartache. More dogs will get hurt under this watch. It is an outright SHAME that Ms. Petriga is riding on the coattails of the Prices’ reputation of decades of quality, painstaking work and driving it into the ground.

I have been taking my dogs for over 11yrs and would not take them anywhere else. Kathy and staff are great and I’m very comfortable with them caring for my pets

K9 Korner has been great with my difficult dog. It's such a sense of relief that I have a place that my dog enjoys going to and is well taken care of when we are out of town. They have also been really good with grooming him and accommodating his behavioral needs. I am very thankful for K9 Korner.

I live in clarks summit and work down by wilkes barre. Looked at company site before bringing my dog down to daycare. When we arrived they would not take my 6.5 year old golden retriever who is up to date on all shots, fixed, has been to other daycares, and passed his therapy dog exam. They said he needed a scheduled appointment before they could let him in. Which is not listed on there website. So i had to drive all the way back home before going to work. Only reason for 1 star for respectful staff

We have been taking our two dogs to K9 Korner since they were both puppies, we board 1-2 times a week and we have gone through their training programs. We have never had a bad experience. The staff never hesitates to help and the owners are extremely knowledgeable. I tell every one who comments on how well behaved our dogs are that K9 Korner is the place to go.

The absolute best. They have helped us with our Husky who is now- not only wonderfully obedient- but the happiest dog I have ever seen! He gets so excited when he knows he is going to K9 Korner. The whole team is incredible. Paul is absolutely amazing to work with. They also care for our crazy clan of cats when we are on vacation and do a wonderful job with them as well. I have recommended K9 Korner a dozen times and will recommend it to ANYONE who wants a happy obedient puppy. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!!!

I have been boarding my dogs at K9 Korner for years and am very happy with the service. If I happen to be out of town, photo updates are provided whenever I phone. I highly recommend K9 Korner because I think the girls go above and beyond to ensure that my dogs are well taken care. Highly recommend.

K9 Korner staff have been wonderful to work with. They helped to train my rescue dog, Bella, after we adopted her. Bella used to be shy around strangers, now she wants to give them lots of love! She was trained using a pinching prong collar. I was initially scared using that type of collar on my dog. The collar does not hurt her or leave any marks around her neck. She now listens for the jingle of the metal prongs and instantly begins wagging her tail. She associates the collar with good things such as walks, training sessions, or day care. Bella always looks forward to "daycare days" when she gets to play with all of the other puppies. The staff has been very accommodating with my fluctuating work schedule. I have kenneled Bella several times during travel. I am satisfied with the variety of options available during her time at K9 Korner including grooming and additional training. I recommend K9 Korner to anyone looking for a trusted and well educated group of staff members who love taking care of all animals. I cannot thank K9 Korner enough for being so wonderful to my dog for the past 1.5 years! I don't know what I would do without them!!!

If it weren't for K9 Korner and Paul with his excellent training we probably never would have been able to keep 2 wonderful dogs that we adopted. The first dog was good with me but very skittish around all men including my husband. We brought him to K9 for a free evaluation. Paul was wonderful in explaining what would work with this dog and didn't try to push any type of extensive program on us. We took our dog to a few private lessons and then were able to practice at home with a lot of success after a few months. Our second dog was very possessive of anything that fell on the floor and would bite us if we would try to pick it up. I was in tears thinking we would need to return her but once again Paul worked with us and our dog and after some time she was comfortable with us. She started to show us some respect which led to a great relationship between she and us! I adopted another dog a few years later and had some potty training issues due to his young age. I brought him to Paul and he gave some fantastic advice. Each situation was different but all outcomes were successful thanks to the fantastic advice. Paul always took his time with us and he genuinely has a love for dogs. It's obvious when he sees the progress made with them! We worked with his wife as well and she was also very helpful! I highly recommend their training and their group classes are very helpful! You're able to socialize your dog in a safe controlled environment. I owe K9 Korner for helping me turn my dogs into fantastic, happy pets! I take my current dog there and she loves her groomer Krista! Denise

Tony is a fantastic trainer. My K9 and I were certified in detection but wanted to do handler protection and criminal apprehension. Tony brought out the fight in my dog with his patient and years of experience. I now have a solid confident patrol dog. Tony is the only trainer locally I would trust with a police K9. Highly recommended

Piddle Paws was recommended to us by a friend and we are so very happy and grateful for the service they provided! Lesley and Jeff came out for a meet and greet to get the process started and from there gave amazing care to our dog while we were away. We had peace of mind as she got to stay in our home and not deviate from her normal routine. They were professional, sent pictures and updates for each visit and provided lots of love, fun and pets to our girl! I would HIGHLY recommend them!! Thank you so much!! Whitney L

We can’t say enough about Lesley and Jeff. They were absolutely fantastic with our fur babies. We recently adopted our dog and it was the first time we had to leave her at home alone. This was also the very first time we had a pet sitting service take care of our animals instead of family. Prior to us leaving we had a meet and greet. Upon meeting with them we were very much so at ease. They have a very compassionate energy and our animals picked right up on it. They really tailor to your pets needs. We got daily texts with reports and pictures of our fur babies each time they stopped at the house. Walks/playtime/cuddles and lovin were given as well making our animals feel more at ease and loved.They even help us keep an eye on our koi pond! If your weird about letting people in your home when your not there Lesley and Jeff are the people for your needs. I am very weird about that. They are VERY trustworthy and respectful. Like I said I can’t say enough of our experience with Piddlepaws. We will DEFINITELY using them from now on!!

Lesley and Jeff recently just watch my cat Maple. They were amazing with her. They sent me updates every time they stopped by and pictures. My cat loved the company and all the attention she got from them. I highly recommend them and will definitely be using them again when I go away.

Piddle Paws truly care about your pets when you are not there for them. They have been great to work with and are very kind people. Our dogs warmed up to them after a few trips and loved having someone there to let them out. I would highly recommend them!

Lesley and Jeff are terrific! They took care of our dog and our daughter's cat while we were away and I couldn't be happier with the care they received. They successfully kept the animals apart, they kept the food areas clean, they sent regular updates and pics, I have nothing but good things to say about them and wholeheartedly recommend them! They are totally professional and you can tell they care about your pets.

We've used PiddlePaws several times now to provide care for our cats. They are very polite and professional and perform everything exactly as we request. It is very comforting to know someone is ensuring our kitties get fresh food, water, treats, and a clean litter box while we are away! The daily updates are nice as well. PiddlePaws does the other little things that we often forget about, like watering the plants. The last trip we forgot to put a hold on the mail and PiddlePaws checked the mail for us each day. I strongly recommend PiddlePaws if you are looking for pet sitting.

I highly recommend Piddle Paws. I've been using them for the past year for drop in cat sitting and they have been wonderful. They are professional, thorough, and excellent with communication and service. I trust them in my home and with my pets and you should too!

Wonderful care of my cat while traveling for vacation. Outstanding communication with a daily report and photos. Super trustworthy. I was completely at ease while traveling, knowing my cat was receiving excellent care and attention. Highly recommend!!

Can't say enough about Lesley and Jeff, they go out of their way to make sure my senior chocolate lab Bella has an enjoyable visit from sitting outside when the weather is nice to bringing her snack and making sure she had her dinner. They send updates and pictures with every vist

Piddle Paws went well above my expectations. I have been looking for a pet sitter for so long and I found Lesley and Jeff through Google. I decided to take a chance and they turned out to be the best pet sitters I ever had. They sent detailed notes and lots of photos to me after every visit they had with my dog. They followed all my instructions, took amazing care of Oliver, and my house looked like they were never there. Please don't hesitate to use Piddle Paws because you will get more than your money's worth.

I would highly recommend FurKids PA to anyone who is looking to have their animals cared for. Karen has been walking my dog several times a week for going on two years now and I feel totally at ease knowing that she is watching after him when I can't be home. She always texts when she leaves my house to let me know that he has been taken care of and often even sends pictures which makes me smile. I am very particular about who I leave the care of my dog to and I know that Karen takes care of him just like I would. I would without a doubt recommend FurKids PA to anyone who is looking to have their "furry kids" looked after.

Karen is the best! She takes such wonderful care of my furry friends! I feel so comfortable knowing that they're in such caring hands when I am not there. My two dogs and cat love her! She spends quality time playing with them and gives them great exercise. She sends the cutest photos and update texts to let me know how they're doing. I'm so thrilled to have found Karen and Furkids PA!

I had Karen from FurKidsPA care for my cats while I was away. She came when expected, and always sent me pictures and updates. Any time I had a question, I heard back from her quickly. Fantastic service, and I'll be using FurKidsPA again.

Where do I begin with this review? Since moving to the area as a single person with no relatives around, I needed someone to help me with my puggle while I was at work. After meeting with two other people I decided Karen was the best option. Over the course of the last two years, I switched jobs a few times with different schedules. Karen was always able to accommodate us. Sometimes I needed her help in the evening or sometimes early in the morning. Regardless, she was always able to help, I am sure it wasn’t always easy for her but she made it work for me (thanks Karen!). Currently, Karen stops by Monday through Friday weekly and neither my pup nor I would want it any other way. My boy also loves his Karen time. He loves when she comes to visit, sometimes I feel like he’s looking for her at her normal time even when I am home. I also enjoy the pictures she sends me from their meet ups. This isn’t just a job to Karen , she really loves coming to see my boy. Part of me did not want to write a review. Reason being, I thoroughly enjoy Karen being a secret only a select few know about. However, due to how wonderful of a person and worker she is, I have to help spread the word of FurKids of PA. Your pets will be happy as will you.

Karen at Fur Kids is an amazing pet sitter! We've been using her for more than 7 years. She's cared for our cats, our fish, and even our hamster! She always goes above and beyond to make sure our property is cared for while we are away, from bringing in the mail to watering the plants! Karen has bought treats when we've run out, fixed our cat feeder, and several times has extended her services for additional days with little notice when our trips have run long. She's incredible! Being fully insured and sending us pictures of our pets daily let's us feel totally comfortable while we're away. Worth every penny! Jen & Cody

Karen is wonderful! She's taken care of our three dogs when we were out of town and takes them on their regular walks as well. The pups always complete their walks with big smiles on their faces and they sense, as I do, that she is a real dog person and cares for them and all animals which is very important to us. Karen is professional and conscientious. She texted me pics of our pups when we were away and she sends updates on how they are doing which sets our minds at ease. I highly recommend her.

My beasties (2 cats) are my babies and when my friend who took care of them for me moved away, I didn't know what I was going to do. Karen is amazing. We received daily texts letting us know how each visit went. When we came home, both cats were happy, content and very well cared for. Now, when we have to travel, we can do so secure because we know there is someone taking care of them who really cares about the animals she watches. Highly recommend!

Karen is so great at what she does, my animals love her and she treats them like her own . She always keeps you updated on how they are doing and taking pics of them when you are away . We LOVE her !!

I needed someone to walk my 3 year old husky due to being sick. Found Karen online and after reading the reviews i decided to call her. She was Awesome. Major loved her and he came home and took a nap. Will call her again

I've used FurKids for daily walks for over 5 years now! There is no one I would trust more with my pets. She is very reliable and attentive. She's brought health issues concerning my pups to my attention that I missed. Simply the best!

I have a Yorkie named Lilly. Melanie and her staff do a fantastic job! My Lilly always looks beautiful and is happy when I pick her up. Everyone is sweet and professional. I highly recommend…🐶 …

Very nice people that do excellent work and at a great price. No worries whatsoever about leaving our beloved pets in their care.

Melanie and her team are very professional. They treat my dogs as if they were their own. Every interaction I’ve had was polite, friendly & kind. My dogs have been coming to Canine Castle for several years.

We have been coming to Melanie before she opened her own business in Ashley. She is awesome! My dogs are always Happy after their grooming and look Amazing! Melanie and Ashley really make sure.If they see something that needs attention under that hair, they let you know. Very proactive! ❤️🌈 …

Brought my dogs here for the past 18yrs. Great prices. Awesome staff! Highly recommend!

Can not say enough good things about Melanie and Ashley. The best groomers around. Great people in the right business. Our Taffy is so lucky to have their care. Very highly recommended.

Lady was very friendly. My pup came out looking like a beautiful princess!! Thank you!

Mel and her staff are awesome. I have been with her now for about 17 years now. They have never let me down with either of my dogs. They give expert service, always friendly and fuss over each and every pet I see come into the shop. I highly recommend Canine Castle and I look forward to many more years with them.

I have been taking my dog Tiger to Canine Castle for several years. They came highly recommended by a friend and always do a great job! I feel comfortable leaving my dog in their care and appreciate their knowledge and advice whenever I have any questions or concerns regarding my dog. They couldn't be nicer or more accommodating.

Love....... I have nothing but love for Canine Castle. My dog always has a great experience and they treat animals like their own. Its so reasonably priced and they do everything. When I found Canine Castle YEARS AGO we have not gone anywhere else and we don't plan on leaving.

I have been using Paramount Pet to check in on my foster dogs while my husband and I work long hours. They are extremely professional from start to finish, and the staff go above and beyond to make sure our pets are loved and cared for even if it’s only for 30 minutes. There is lots of communication and updates, and the best part… the adorable photos they send! 10/10 recommend!!

In a time of desperate need, Paramount Pet Care emerged as our beacon of hope and compassion, extending far beyond the realms of conventional pet sitting. When our cherished dog, Wolfie, faced the daunting challenge of learning to walk again after a stroke, our family was plunged into uncertainty and worry. Yet, amidst our turmoil, Paramount Pet Care not only provided exemplary care but also rallied the community around us to ensure Wolfie received the medical treatments and at-home care he so desperately needed. From the outset, their dedication and empathy were abundantly clear. Paramount Pet Care didn't just see themselves as pet sitters; they became steadfast allies in Wolfie's recovery journey. Their meticulous attention to detail was matched only by their unwavering commitment to go above and beyond for our furry family member. Wolfgang is a 125-pound King German Shepherd who had to be lifted, manually exercised, and held up with a special harness while trying to walk. He was weak, dizzy, and very unstable - the team at Paramount ensured us they were unhesitatingly up for the challenge and adapted to everything from what they wore on their visits to him, to traversing the uphill climbs and narrow steep rock walls in our yard. We truly do not know how we could have ever navigated that very difficult time without Paramount Pet Care. What truly set them apart was their remarkable ability to mobilize the community in our time of need. Recognizing the strain of Wolfie's treatments, emergency services, and ongoing care, they took it upon themselves to reach out to their community rallying support to ensure both us and Wolfie could access the necessary treatments without compromise. Through their collective efforts, Wolfie not only regained his ability to walk but also flourished in an environment filled with love and support. Paramount Pet Care didn't just provide pet sitting services; they fostered a sense of community and belonging that transcended the ordinary. Paramount Pet Care sent a sympathy card when our 18-year old cat passed - one who they saw regularly at the house but was not even a client of their own. They came to a family photoshoot with us to help handle Wolfgang and one other dog, allowing us to focus on another family member with special needs and a toddler. For anyone seeking pet care that embodies the true spirit of compassion and community, I wholeheartedly recommend Paramount Pet Care. We truly consider them family and are forever indebted to all they have done for us. Their unwavering dedication to the well-being of our furry companions is nothing short of extraordinary, and we are eternally grateful for the role they played in Wolfie's miraculous recovery.

First time using any sort of at home pet care and Wow! What a great company! Laura and staff are friendly, extremely caring and helpful. They are well organized and have great communication! The app they use is awesome to keep in touch while away. It’s provides detailed visit info and pictures along with many other useful information and tips. They went above and beyond to watch our pup (along with other things like grabbing the mail and watering our garden) while we were away for a week. Kelly was the staffer who was watching over our Colby. Colby is an older German Shepherd with bad hips, she was extremely kind and caring towards our old man. They instantly bonded, which was great to see. Kelly is the absolute best and so happy to have her watch Colby! Definitely will be reaching out again for our next getaway! Thanks again!

This was by far the most absolute amazing experience I’ve ever had with any kind of care for my fur babies!! The staff were in constant contact with me sending pictures, details of their visits and some pictures to help with missing them so much. All of them went above and beyond for my babies!!

Paramount Pet Care is incredible. We never worry about our dogs and the care they are getting. The staff always lets you know how the visit went. Thank you Paramount!!

This summer was the first time we ever used a pet sitter and I could not be happier with our experience. Emma, Katie, and Mike took care of our cats while we were away. They went above and beyond what I ever expected for my little guys. We were away during the extreme heat wave and they figured out how to keep my house cool and comfy. They always sent a thorough update after each visit with pics and videos, which I absolutely loved. Our cats were so well adjusted when we got home, it was like we never left. One of the best decisions made this year is contacting Paramount Pet for services.

We love ParaMountPet for our pet sitting needs. We have been doggy clients for over a year. Having them check in on our pups has taken the anxiety away from being away from home. Laura, Mike and their staff are pets lovers and trustworthy. Laura always tries to accommodate our schedule even with last minute requests. Her staff is very caring, calls with any questions and sends pictures of our pups during their visit. This service allows us to make trips whether one day or multi days and also allows our pups stay in the comfort of their own surroundings. We are so happy that ParaMountPet sitting is available in our area. They are the BEST! Thank you Laura, Mike and your staff for caring for our dogs.

This was our first time using a pet sitter and they did not disappoint ! I love how thorough they are by having you create a pet profile and having a visit to the home to meet the pets. My family and I were in another country and Amber D took care of our kitties. She really went above and beyond our expectations and put our mind to ease being away. The cats adored her(as she sent photos and updates). We will absolutely be using paramount in the future !

I used Paramount Pet Care for the first time recently. I am extremely happy with everything from start to finish. Great communication. The sitters took wonderful care of my kitties, and I plan to schedule again. I have peace of mind knowing they will be in good hands.

Highly recommend paramount pet care. They’re professional, courteous, timely, and readily available! Tara took wonderful care of my dog. Even carried him to the grass on a scorching summer day because the ground was too hot.

I met Ali through a recommendation from my mother in law since she loved their service. Her and her husband have been respectful and very professional with our fur babies when they do their in home trim visit. She’s also worked with me in terms of appointment times and dates. I’m very grateful for how well they both work with our dogs. So far 5 of our families dogs have had their nails trimmed by them and they loved the experience.

Stella is a golden retriever who was anxious when on walks and would bark and lunge at other dogs. I came across Ali’s petcare service and made an appointment. She met with me and Stella we discussed our goals . We started walking together and she showed me how to handle Stella when other dogs are around and good leash techniques. I learned a lot from Ali and she is very patient and manages dogs well . Stella can now walk past other and dogs and focus on me . If she would react I now know how to handle it . So far the training is a success . I highly recommend Ali’s service for any dog issue , she is very knowledgeable and a delight to work with

Ali is excellent, she has helped Maisy, an 8-month-old pup and I get off to a great start. Ali gave Maisy and I the tools to successfully grow our bond. She is still young, so we have a way to go. I look forward to continuing our relationship and education. Thank you so much for such a positive experience.

Ali is the absolute best. She is so professional and extremely detail oriented. We first used Ali when we went on vacation out of the country for over 2 weeks. Our 2 cats were in such good care. Ali and David took such great care of our 2 cats who were both about a year old and we didn't want to board. One of them required medication at the time, which was not a problem for Ali and David. We plan on using Ali's pet services anytime we are out of town. I recommend her highly!

Ali’s Pawsitive Petcare provides us with the best in home services for our 4 small dogs. All of our dogs have wildly different personalities and quirks. Ali respects their differences. Ali’s the ability to understand and care for both dogs and people in a warm and helpful way is unparalleled. Those abilities combined with her knowledge, skills and professionalism are a rare find these days. I can honestly say that my husband and I 100% recommend Ali and her Petcare services!

Ali is an amazing and devoted pet care service provider. My 20 pound spca rescue has been with me for many years and doesn’t take well to new people. Ali and her fiancé came in with open arms and trimmed his nails. They were patient, kind, and very efficient. They took wonderful care of Ruben. I highly recommend Ali’s Pawsitive Petcare to anyone with a fur baby.

Ali is absolutely the best! Our young dog is not a fan of getting his nails trimmed, and the vet and groomer want him sedated first. Ali has no problem with him, and David always holds him securely so that, before he knows it, his nails are done. I love that she comes to the house, as it is much less stressful than taking him to the vet. Ali is friendly, quick, and a gem to our community. I highly recommend!!

I have been using Ali's services for about a year and a half now, my pug struggled getting his nails trimmed, when I took him to the vet they told me the next time I bring him in for a nail trim they'd have to give him meds to calm down. I was not on board with medicating him, so we gave Ali a try. Let me just say my boy LOVES her. He is calm and lets them do what needs to be done without being medicated and he doesn't throw a fit like he did at the vet..... Plus I love the ease of them coming to my home to take care of him. Hands down the best!! If your fur baby needs a nail trim I highly recommend you use Ali!! You won't regret it.

Ali's in-home nail trimming service is *amazing*. Our sweet Beagle gets stressed on car rides, and this service saved our bacon. So thankful for this business!

I’m so excited to recommend Ali to anyone searching for a dog trainer. I have a 90 pound Bernedoodle that would normally walk loose leash until he saw another dog and morphed into a maniac, jumping and pulling on the leash. Not only was his behavior stressful and embarrassing, but on one occasion he dragged me to the ground resulting in scrapes and bruised ribs. After a complimentary meet and greet and two training lessons with Ali, my dog can now remain calm while passing dogs on leash or barking at him from a yard. He’s not perfect yet and we’ll keep training with Ali, but he’s 80% improved. I’m also very impressed with Ali’s professionalism and her ability to find positive behavior in both my dog’s and my behavior when faced with challenges during our training sessions.

My dog loves this place, and so does my family. I'm so happy that I found a place where I can trust to leave my dog 🐶♥️ …

Staff is very friendly and they take care of your dog as they would theres. I love the place and so does our dog.

I have boarded my dog there several times, and they are wonderful! My dog is so excited to go! The staff is wonderful. They are pleasant and friendly! 10 out of 10 recommended if you need to have someone watch over the family best friend! Also very affordable!

ALL THE STARS. This morning, 2019: We hadn't been there in more than a week, when suddenly a mandatory overtime shift left us in the lurch. As we pulled into the parking lot in the wee hours of the morning, my dog was SO excited to realize where he was! I barely got him to contain his enthusiasm as we waited for the center to open. And, I didn't even know if we'd have to drive right back home, since we definitely weren't expected this morning. But without even a heads-up, the owner still welcomed us with a big smile when we arrived. Of course they'd make room for my overly enthusiastic puppy! What a relief! And now, I'll be able to sleep tonight, because my dog will be tired after a wonderful, active day, when he could have been stuck alone in his room for as much as 8 hours - something we really didn't want to do to him! This place is a godsend. They clearly love the dogs, and the dogs love them. They kept our boy the weekend we were out of town, trimmed his nails when they noticed that needed doing, and even shared video of our pup playing in the pool with the other dogs! Raising a happy, healthy puppy is so much easier knowing we have the support of the amazing staff at Valley Dog! 10/22/24 Update: Could I have more stars to give them, please? They're still our go-to caregiver and our dog's second family. I telework now, so he only gets to go when we're out of town and he needs to board - but he's every bit as excited to get there, bursting with joy as soon as we reach the neighborhood, and tries to drag us inside as soon as he's out of the car. We feel so incredibly lucky to have these people in our life to provide such amazing care for our boy whenever we have to go away. A million more stars for them, please?

The staff was wonderful and did a great job with our dog, she looks great! She is a shepherd mix so she's tough to shave down but they did a very nice job. Our family has also used their boarding services as well and they took great care of our dogs at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend them for your grooming or boarding needs!

After a scheduling issue that the owner was able to correct, we were able to have our dog groomed. Overall, Very happy with the quality grooming. If it wasn't for the appointment issue, it would be 5 star service. Will go back next time.

Highly recommend Valley Dog for doggy daycare! My dog has been going for a few weeks and loves it. The staff is super sweet and you can tell they have love for every pup that walks through that door.

Lisa groomed my dogs and did a fantastic job. They are also our go to for boarding our dogs

I am extremely Thankful for Valley Dogs. While I wasnt able to board with them due to my pups not having the proper shots, They went over and beyond to try and help me while My wife and I had our first child as over the road truck drivers. Thank you for being so willing to help Its very much appreciated.

Great staff and great environment. Been taking my dog here for daycare and boarding for 3 years. He loves his visits to Valley Dog! They also sell dog food, treats, and toys.

We have tried several places to board our Nina & Bella. The places were all cages for the dogs & our dogs are not use to being caged. They love interacting with people & other animals. We then found Barks Town Country, Chris & Brooke are the nicest people! We knew from our first time meeting them they love animals. Our dogs loved going to their home where they got the same care there like home. Our Bella has a medical issue & when she gets nervous there is always a change in her bowel movement. Going to Barks Town Country there is no change in Bella 🥰. Both Nina & Bella come home exhausted from playing so much. We are so grateful that we found them & we highly recommend them.

If you have been worrying about finding a safe and comfortable place to leave your dog overnight, you can breathe a sigh of relief. These are your people. I had been dreading the day when I would have to board our 2 year old dog. She is used to being with family, is a sweet pup, can be a little nervous and is a bit spoiled... I just didn’t see her faring well in a traditional kennel. I found Brooke and Chris Rivera’s BarksTown site and thought it would be too good to be true... However, I’m pleased to tell you that they are amazing. They took our dog into their home and gave her what seemed like a little “vacation” of her own! Our dog got first class treatment that included walks, lots of play time, snuggles, daily brushing, lounging around a super cute home and best of all, she made new friends with the Rivera’s over-the-top cute dog, Marshmallow. I received pictures and daily updates on our dog that included details about how she was adjusting and overall reassurances that she was having a great time! When we got home and reunited with our furry family member, she was relaxed and just happy to see us again. She was bright eyed, rested and even smelled good! Give these folks a call if you need a place for your dog to stay. You (and your beloved pet) won’t be disappointed! Thank you, BarksTown!! 🐾🐶

We boarded our dogs with BarksTown Country this past weekend and I couldn’t have been happier! We have two Rhodesian ridgebacks who can be a little hard to handle, and on top of that, they're my babies so I am VERY overprotective of them and am extremely picky about who watches them. I’ve been looking for an in home boarding service for awhile now and am SO happy I found Barkstown Country. We've boarded our dogs at traditional kennels in the past and I just never felt comfortable leaving them there - one of my dogs would start shaking in fear the second we showed up at the kennel. But when we showed up at Chris and Brooke's, both dogs settled in instantly and felt right at home! We brought them out back to check out the fenced in play area and instantly they started playing!! This is when I knew we had come to the right place! When the dogs are inside they're not kept in a kennel, and can comfortably sleep on the couch or bed (which is exactly what they do when they’re home). Chris sent me pictures and updates throughout the weekend which gave me a peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of! I’d highly recommend BarksTown country! We’ll definitely be using them again!

If you’re looking for a dog walker - then I 110% recommend Barkstown Country. We were having issues with our 6 year old medium sized puppers, Penny. She is housed trained and rarely had any accidents in the house until this passed winter. After a few weeks of consistent accidents we decided she needed someone to get her out of the house in the middle of the day. We reached out to Barkstown and that same day Brooke responded to us to set up a time for her and Chris to come and meet us and Penny and just get an idea of what we were looking for. Right away Penny (and us) loved them! They were so accommodating when it came to my Husband’s and my schedules (which at the time was consistently changing especially with the snow / working from home). After every walk we would get a text from Brooke or Chris saying Penny was good to go and occasionally we’d get an adorable picture of Penny enjoying the outside! We could tell that they just enjoyed taking care of your dog and gave them as much love that we would give our pup. We recently moved out of the area but Chris and Brooke still occasionally check in with us to see how Penny is doing! They’re truly amazing and caring people! Thank you guys for everything!

THE ABSOLUTE BEST!!! I have never boarded my 6 year old Yorkie before and when I had a family emergency (my mother fell on Christmas) Chris and Brooke took my fur baby on short notice during the very busy holiday weekend. I was so nervous and stressed out at the thought of putting my spoiled yorkie in a kennel when hes never even been in a crate - thats when I found BarksTown Country which is kennel free at their own home. Chris and Brooke are the most genuine people and it was divine intervention that I found them because I will go back again and again. It was like having a friend watch my dog. They were easy to communicate with, sent me pictures all the time which totally put my mind at ease, and most importantly they treat your dog like one of their own - seriously! My yorkie snuggled with Chris' mom all weekend (they sent me pictures, she was literally holding him while snoozing like a baby in her arms on the couch) and their dog, Marshmallow, was the most friendly (and adorable) host. I think my dog actually came back to me in better spirits than when I dropped him off! Thank you chris, brooke and family.... can't wait to see you again!!!

We've been using BarksTown's services to walk our boxer Monday through Friday for the past year, and have been very happy. They're reliable, responsive, and clearly care about her. We just started using the BarksTown Country boarding services as well and it was such a relief to know our pup was in good hands while we were traveling. They shared pics and video of her throughout the week and their pickup/dropoff service made it incredibly convenient.

Chris has been taking care of my five cats for a year now. He sends photos of my cats when he visits and keeps me updated on how they are doing. Chris is gentle with my cats and they are happy with him. I’m am extremely satisfied with BarksTown Country.

I am so glad I had Chris take care of my senior cat Etta while I was away He was wonderful with her and even sent me a picture to put my mind at ease She was fed and socialized and received her medications from a loving sole I think she misses him Will definitely use his services again

The best ever!! I have a chihuahua. Pinto first stayed in August and I've used them every month since. Every time I call to see if there is availability for Pinto to stay they come through. Pinto absolutely loves staying with them. Wish I found them years ago!

Gentle and loving owners that care about your furbaby
