Dog Boarding in New Park, PA

“I was seeking a sitter for my 6 month old Golden Retriever puppy. This was to be Jersey’s first stay away from home and also the first time in my life that I boarded any of my dogs. I was very anxious about the whole process and being able to find the quality of a sitter that I needed to feel comfortable. I read reviews for 10 – 15 sitters on Rover.com and found 3 that looked promising. Of the 3 Lynn’s reviews seemed to align with my needs more that any of the others. Throughout the process, Lynn was extremely supportive and made me feel at ease. We set up a “meet and greet” a few weeks before I was to go out of town. When Jersey and I arrived at her house, she and her 2 German Shorthair Pointers were waiting on the sidewalk to greet us. Lynn had suggested that meeting on neutral ground would reduce or eliminate any territorial issues between the dogs. She greeted Jersey enthusiastically and lovingly and had total control of her dogs, Daisy and Hank, which allowed Jersey and them to introduce themselves in a non-threatening manner. From there Lynn and her dogs gave Jersey and I a tour of the neighborhood and her home. She first took us to the church at the end of her street, where she has permission to let her dogs run free to get their daily play and exercise. She let her dogs loose and walked with Jersey and I around the property while Daisy and Hank played. We agreed that Jersey was not yet well enough trained to be off leash, so Lynn said she had a 30’ long lead that she would use when taking Jersey for her daily play with Daisy and Hank. Watching how well Lynn handled her own dogs convinced me I had found the right sitter. She showed Jersey and I her house, where the dogs sleep and all around the outside. Lynn has a pool that looks to be more for her dogs than for the humans of the household. For almost all of the time we were visiting, Hank swam around and around in the pool. After I confirmed the booking on Rover.com, Lynn and I set up one more date for Jersey and I to visit to ensure she was as comfortable with going there as possible. Each time we took Jersey, Hank and Daisy for walks down to the church and some playtime in the backyard. I also learned that Lynn and her husband served as the Vice President and President of the San Diego German Shorthair Pointer rescue which told me a lot about their love of animals and only increased my confidence that I had made the right choice. Lynn and I talked and emailed many times to ensure she knew everything about Jersey that she needed to know. One of the key things I needed from a sitter is for him/her to ensure that Jersey got her obedience commands practice every day while I was away. Jersey and I are participating in a training program and is important that she practice daily. Lynn had no problem doing that for us and with her experience and knowledge in dog handling, I was confident Jersey would get all that she needed. When the day came, my husband took Jersey for her 3 day stay with Lynn and her family. Being the professional that Lynn is, she kept Jersey very busy while my husband left, so Jersey wouldn’t be upset. Lynn took many pictures and some videos while I was away so that I could see how Jersey was doing. In addition to the daily routing, Lynn took the time to introduce Jersey to water and taught her to swim in the pool. From the video, it really looks like Jersey loved it. She also worked on some tricks with Jersey that I hadn’t been working on. When we arrived back to pick Jersey up, Jersey was all ready and glad to see us, but also appeared to be comfortable in her new home. She greeted us excitedly, but was not clingy. While Lynn and I talked, Jersey just went off to play on her own, coming back to the kitchen where we were standing to check periodically. When we got Jersey home, she just found her spot and went to sleep. She slept for most of the rest of the evening, which said to me she had been one very active puppy while we were away. I would recommend Lynn to anyone who cares about their dog. You will not be disappointed, nor need you have any fear that Lynn will not treat your dog as well as or better than you do yourself. She is experienced, competent, loving, caring and fun for our furry friends. She makes them her #1 priority while they are staying with her. She also has enrolled in many of the add-ons available through Rover.com, including 24 hour access to vets. MY only disappointment is that Lynn is now moving out of state and won’t be available for Jersey sitting in the future. What is a loss for San Diego dog lovers will now be a gain for those in PA. Best of luck, Lynn ‘Beauty’, in your new home and new life. ”

“Angie was extremely accommodating with our dogs - they are not "crated" dogs and were allowed to roam the location without restriction. She was quick to respond to any communication. We're appreciative of the care she provided to our pets.”

“First and for most I would like to thank Ms. Heather for watching my dogs!:) First time using Rover, I came across Ms. Heathers Services. I used the in boarding service. With that being said my dogs did really good with her. She let the dogs out to use the potty, played with them and even took pic along there stay! 10/10 will be coming back!”

“Randi sent lots of PICTs and kept my up to date. Great fenced in back yard and a doggy door. I would highly recommend Randi and her family and will continue to use her. My dog was so happy and tired from playing when I picked him up. Great all around experience.”

“Finding a trustworthy dog sitter is no easy feat, but I am beyond fortunate to have found Pilar[Maria]. She and her hubby have proven to be not just reliable, but also incredibly caring to my dog. I am consistently impressed with her dedication and passion even during pregnancy and her illness with that. Knowing that my pup-son is in such capable hands gives me immense peace of mind. Without a doubt, she is my go-to sitter. Highly recommended to all pet parents out there!”

“As a first time Rover user, my wife and I were so happy to have found Whitney to take care of our 6 month old puppy while we were out of town for the night. She sent updates and pictures throughout the stay and was always available to answer any questions we had. We will definitely use Whitney again!!”

“this was simply perfect for us. lots of updates, pics and even a facetime that made our night. but really there’s no beating the peace of mind that our pups were in a loving home and getting lots of activity and attention and enjoyed their little vacation during our little vacation. 10/10 would recommend and will book again in the future.”

“Linda is absolutely wonderful. She has taken care of my senior dog twice and we are happily repeat customers with three more stays scheduled. She is so patient and loving to my senior dog, who can be a bit challenging.”

“Easy drop off and pick up. Communication was great. We requested last minute and came early to get him and Nathaniel was super accommodating! Will book again!”

“Robert and his family were absolutely wonderful! Lots of room for your pups to run and play and plenty of love and affection. My boyfriend said if we never came back our dogs wouldn’t care if this was the family they were left with! 😂 It was a bit of a drive for us but completely worth it! Good with updates (not too many, not too few). We will definitely use Robert again. 🐾 🐶”

“Jennifer is absolutely wonderful! She watched our dog obi for 5 days and he was so loved and spoiled by her ! Communication was fantastic multiple pictures and videos per day! Walks , homemade treats ! She went above and beyond for our dog! Would highly recommend her! We finally found the absolute perfect dog sitter! Thank you so much Jennifer we appreciate you so much ❤️”

“Shannon did a great job with our dog. She kept in touch and even included photos! She is very active and kind and I know he had the best time!! Her yard is perfect for him to use some of his extra energy. Will absolutely book again!”

“Did a great job of taking care of our dog while we were on vacation. Tried to keep his routine the same as what we do with him at home for walks and feeding.”

“This was our first trip using Rover and we are beyond happy to recommend Nicole and her family for your puppers care. We enjoyed our vacation so much more knowing our pup was enjoying his own vacation with his new friend, Winnie. We received photos and a message each day and evening which allowed us to relax much easier.”

“Best dog boarding experience ever! Happy dog, happy pet parents! How can you beat a family of 4 totally focused on your pet. Our 10 yr old was thrilled to find there were 2 boys to keep our Daisy cuddled and loved. Jill and Chad are great - pic updates, great communication. We WILL be using them whenever we travel. This was like leaving our dog with best friends. Thank you so very much. Your family is so appreciated!”

“Katie & Anthony and there children treated George like their own & were great. They sent pics & updates & he came home all tired out from his “vacation” at their house. Would recommend to others!”
