Why this house

Features of a home, not a facility.

  • Doggy day care

    Weekday company, backyard time, and a quiet house to nap in — without a crate row or a revolving door of strangers.

  • Overnight boarding

    Sleepovers in a real home. Your dog is a houseguest, not a kennel number.

  • Medication

    Pills, drops, and special feeding schedules are part of the care, not an afterthought.

  • Pickup and drop-off

    When you cannot make the drive, we can help with transport as an add-on.

  • A fenced backyard

    Room to run, sniff, and sprawl — the thing almost every family mentions first.

Our family

Emelie, her family, and Violet.

Emelie Cambeiro has loved dogs her whole life. She brings that care into a household that already includes her husband, their children, and Violet — a Beaglier who will play with new friends and, given half a chance, eat their dinner.

Questions, briefly

Do you require a meet and greet?+

Yes — for every new dog. Emelie uses that visit to learn temperament, meet you, and introduce your dog to Violet and the house. First stays are not booked without it.

Is this a kennel?+

No. Penn Valley Paws is Emelie’s family home in Penn Valley. Your dog is a houseguest, with a fenced backyard and a resident Beaglier named Violet.

What are day care hours?+

7:30am to 6:00pm. Late pickup or early drop-off is $5 per 30 minutes.

When is overnight pickup?+

After 8:00pm, unless you arrange something different when you book.

Where are you, exactly?+

Penn Valley, Pennsylvania. The street address is shared after the meet and greet — it is a private home, not a storefront.

What should we pack?+

Food, a leash, any medicine, and a bed or crate if they use one. A familiar toy helps. Details are on the What to Bring page.

Ready when you are.

New dogs start with a meet and greet. After that, booking is a note to Emelie.
