Pet Sitters in Castanea, PA

If you want a place to dump your pet in a cage and leave them and that’s it- this is the place for you. I took my Great Dane puppy here for 2 overnights- She came home acting fine, other than the fact that she immediately drank THREE BOWLS of water and scarfed down 2 bowls of food. Never in her life has she done this. If it was the case that she would not eat there- they should have told my husband when he picked her up! But she clearly had drank barely ANY water. Ny girl went 4 days without eating during a fake pregnancy and this is what she looked like- so I know she didn’t eat. I know it wasn’t the food because I sent OUR own special food for her. I should have known when every pic of a dog I’ve seen online from this place has empty bowls in with the dogs :( This place is Literally a doggy jail. A small area that they get locked in until you pick them up. I went here based off reviews and recommendations, but all recommendations are on the owner, and how he’s a good person etc. he was very short with me. Didn’t ask for any vaccination stuff, literally asked no questions at all. “Just here put your dog here” and that was it! For all he knew my dog had zero vaccinations and something that could have spread to all the dogs there. 🤦‍♀️

My pitt bull was kept there a few days til I could relocate to a steady place . When I went to pick him up , I was told he is on medication . When I asked why he was on medication , I was informed that my pitt bull , Harley was neutered without my consent . I left my boy out the kennel , & put him in the car & left . This place is a joke ... I wouldn't let them watch a stuffed animal ..

I have finally found the best groomer. No more trying place after place looking for a groomer to do a complete job, treat my 2 dogs nicely and do a fantastic job. Mark was fabulous on all counts and I won’t ever need to go anywhere else. Well worth the travel! Thank you Mark & Mark’s Dad!

If all you want is a place to dump your dog for the day, I guess this will work. The people were friendly but this is the most unprofessionally run kennel we’ve ever used, from Maine to Florida to the western US. Not even the bare minimum of information was requested from us. Vaccination history of our dog, contact info, phone number, not even his name. And I could tell my dog absolutely hated it. We found another place and drove 3 times as long the wrong direction just so he wouldn’t have to go there again, and they were fantastic from top to bottom, and cheaper on top. How this kennel has rated 4 stars is a so beyond me. The only positive thing I can really say is it has a good location.

My dogs were well cared for and safe. They were nice enough to squeeze in baths even though it was a last minute request. Dogs don't get playtime or walks so I wouldn't use for more than a night or two but they were happy and not stressed when I picked them up. Service was friendly. Kennels were a nice size with indoor outdoor access.

Very friendly, personal service. This is the only place in Centre County that I can get my dogs food, and they have stayed open a few extra minutes when I wasnt able to make it before closing. They've also mentioned, since I work with rescue dogs, that if I ever knew of anyone who couldn't afford dog or cat food that they would work with them. I've personally never had to take advantage of that offer, but I was very touched nonetheless.

The owner was very helpful and honest about questions I had about products. I felt like I was talking to a caring neighbor rather than a businessman. You can't walk in there expecting uniform service but you will receive sense that you purchased your pet supplies from someone who cares about the animals and not the money. He offered me a product for free to take home and see if it worked well for my newly adopted dog. I feel confident and sure about going there for any product and or questions.

This kennel is no frills facility, but the employees care and will keep your pet well during their stay. I personally had a scenario where my spouse was in the hospital, and the gentleman at Lyons allowed my friends to pick up my dogs and pay later instead of my friends paying on pick up. Good honest folks.

So we love our dogs like most dog owners and I have to say, if you absolutely care for your pets, then do not take them to this kennel. I pulled up and I instantly said this is not a good place. Unfortunately we were in a bind so I left my two dogs there. When we called, we were told that both dogs would have cots. The cots consist of a cheap piece of cloth on the floor. We were also told that each dog would have stainless steel bowls to eat and drink from. The water bowl is a 5 gallon bucket when I showed up. The kennel was not clean at all. Also, I went back to get my dogs the same day bc I could not bare to leave them there. When I went back, nobody was available so I walked straight into the kennel (nobody around) and leashed my dogs up without anyone noticing until I was just about in my vehicle. I never write reviews but this is one I felt compelled to write. I would never recommend this place to anyone for any reason.

2 years ago my wife and I went to Maine to look at the fall foliage. boarded my lab at lions kennel. came back home 5 days later and called the pick my dog up on a Monday. they advised me my dog hasn't been up in 3 days and I rushed down to the kennel to find my dog lying on concrete in is own urine and feces! swollen back legs! a cut over his eye! pus in his eye and a hole in his lip. could not hold his head up and maggots crawling all over him! my vet was 50 yd across the street at straly vet! they never called to advise me of this emergency, nothing! my wife and I were 5 hours out we coulda come home immediately. after putting my dog on a tarp and getting him across the street it took 3 bags of fluid for him to even open his eyes. at 3:30 in the afternoon we had to make the call to put the dog down because it was too debilitated! lions kennel refused to give me an explanation as to what happened to my dog and why he had all these injuries! I would not even give them one star I would give them -100 stars don't ever take your dog to Lyons kennel!

Joy makes accusations about pet owners without true proof. She posts about them on Facebook, which is defamation of character and harassment. She lacks on professionalism for her business.

They did not clean the cats’ wet food bowls over the course of a week or reach out when the water quality was in question. After receiving negative feedback in a private message, the owner posted personal details about my home on Facebook and refused to remove the post until I read through the comments. The owner is not only unprofessional, but unstable. Stay far away from this business for the sake of your pets and your mental health.

This place is absolutely trustworthy with your pets. I’m very strict when it comes to my animals. She completely satisfied all their needs. Will definitely be coming back! Thank you so much for your 11/10 service!!!

We always trust Joy with our babies !!

Highly recommend this kennel facility! Reuben and his entire family were extremely friendly and helpful for my dogs first stay. Peaceful Valley Dog Boarding came recommended to me and I am glad I tried him out. The kennels are large and very clean. Lots of outdoor space for fresh air several times a day. There is no behind closed doors, unknown treatment of your pet.

I recently boarded my Weimaraner, Misty, at Peaceful Valley Dog Boarding, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The facility was immaculately clean, and it was clear that Reuben and his family take great pride in maintaining a high standard. This kennel was recommended by my neighbor, and it absolutely lived up to the praise. Most importantly, Misty was well-cared for and happy when I picked her up—a true testament to the love and attention she received.

Would highly recommend! Reuben and his family were so kind and I heard the kids just loved our puppy. She was well taken care of in the clean facility, that also plays calming dog music. They were accommodating and have already recommended to others. I have a neighbor that has already booked with them for next month due to the wonderful experience we had. Thank you for taking care of our Aspen!

We’ve boarded our dogs here a few times now (for a week long trip and a couple of overnight/weekend trips). Both of our dogs have been happy and well taken care of. The high fencing makes me feel more comfortable as our one lab is a jumper! The owners are so kind and friendly!

This place is great. We drive across I80 in PA to visit family in NYC a few times a year. This time, rather than boarding our dog in the usual large local kennels in our city, I found Peaceful Valley on a Google Search. It’s as others describe. Small (14 kennels), family atmosphere, very clean and modern, in a beautiful country setting. We’ll be using it from now on for our NYC trips. Thanks, Reuben!

Peaceful Valley dog boarding was recommended to me when I was having trouble finding a new place to care for my dogs when traveling. It’s always difficult to leave your pets somewhere new, but when I arrived at Peaceful Valley dog boarding with my two golden retrievers I was greeted by Reuben and his family as well as a well kept, clean facility. When I picked them up 10 days later they were happy and energetic. I really appreciate that Reuben is flexible with drop off and pick up times and I really felt like my dogs were in a family atmosphere and not a standard kennel. The family environment and it being a smaller facility that is very clean gave me comfort that my dogs would get the attention and care they need. We will be taking our dogs there for all of our out of town trips ! Thank you for taking great care of Biscuit and Bandit!

I needed to board my Shih Tzu for the first time since I rescued her and was very nervous and stressed about leaving her. The place is spotless and they took very good care of her! One of the children bonded quickly with Tess and I loved knowing she'd have playtime while she was there. I will not have unnecessary anxiety next time knowing she's in such good caring and capable hands. Highly recommend!

Our pup stayed at their kennel for a little over a week while our family went on vacation. You could tell he was well cared for. The kennels are clean and well air conditioned, which in the heat we’ve been having was a major plus for my pup! Reuben and his family are so kind! Highly recommend to anyone looking to board their dog, we will definitely take ours back anytime we need a kennel!

Thanks Peaceful Valley Dog Boarding! Rueben and his family took amazing care of our precious 5 year old dog! It was hot outside but cool on the very clean and orderly inside space for the pups. Great communication and care. Would highly recommend and we’ll definitely use again!

Had my 2 German shorthairs here for 6 days. Excellent accommodations, very clean. Everyone in the family is involved, my girls got lots of attention. Plenty of love to go around. Highly recommend.

Judy's Pet Grooming is a great place to take your pets. I took my two dogs, and Judy is professional, caring, and offers a good price. I highly recommend Judy's Pet Grooming...

My boxer was taken care of from nose to tail! I couldn't have asked for better handling and care of him. He loves those girls.see ya again soon ladies!!!

I have been a client of Judy's for years. She's great with my 2 labs & handled my temperament German Shephard perfectly. Highly recommend.

Quality cut, she certainly got along well with Bentley... will be back when he needs another trim.

I love the care they give Lilie and Daisey

Just got back from Judy's Pet grooming. I took 3 out of 4 dogs to get their nails trimmed. 2 large and 1 medium sized. They all behaved so good this time! I think Judy has a special way about her of keeping the animal calm.

Judy is the best. She does a great job of grooming my poodle. I have been taking my dog to her for several years. And her prices are very reasonable.

She bathed my puppy for his first time and he loved her! Her prices are very reasonable and she’s very personable . Judy is my go to groomer from now on, glad I found her!

This place is the best. She has always treated my dogs with great care, never had any problems. Has always been available when I called, and is affordable. Ten thumbs up ....

Judy is the best!! She has been our groomer for years.
