Before you book
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.
How do small and large dog rates work?+
Small-dog rates (including small puppies) stay at $40 a day, $65 a night, and a $5–10 puppy add-on. Large dogs are $10 more for day care, overnight, holiday, and puppy. Emelie confirms size at the meet and greet.
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.
