About us

Playtime, walks & belly rubs included

Caring for dogs is my full-time job, so every pup in my home gets my complete attention. I’ve had pets my entire life and have four friendly dogs of my own: a border collie, a border collie mix and two Chihuahuas, three of whom joined our family through fostering.

My home sits on a couple of acres with a large, newly fenced yard, giving the dogs an area for play, exercise and potty breaks. I prepare homemade food and treats for my own dogs, and I bring that same level of care and affection to every pup who stays with me.

Your pup won’t be bored here! We do silly photo shoots, play with the bubble machine, splash in a small pool, take walks in the creek, work on puzzles and even enjoy relaxing massages.

Happy pups, happy people

“Now she’s attached to ReNae’s hip.”

From our meet & greet, I knew A Bark Away From Home would be a great fit. ReNae is trustworthy and affordable. We just love her and the girls, she is so sweet to Olive. Olive is a rescue and connected to my hip, so I worry about her because she’s not too social with other pups and there’s some separation anxiety issues. (Me. I’m the issues) Now she’s attached to ReNae’s hip. She has been so reassuring that Olive will receive the same love and treatment she gets at home. I get lots of pictures while I’m gone and you can tell Olive loves ReNae. She comes home smelling great with a cute lil scarf. We truly couldn’t be happier.

More happy pup parents

Renae had a welcome sign out with our dog's names on it at our first meeting. She sent us a picture and updates about how our dogs were adjusting to their new surroundings. She is very thorough in taking information about the pets she watches. We felt confident that our dogs were being well cared for!

Janna B. ★★★★★Doggy daycare · via Rover

Wow, Renae's Doggy Day Care was fantastic. Our dog Blue had a wonderful time and was well taken care of at all times. She has her place set up to accommodate big dogs and small dogs with separate areas if any aren't getting along. She goes overboard to make sure the doggies are happy and comfortable. Highly recommended.

John M. ★★★★★Doggy daycare · via Rover

Renae is a sweet, caring person. She was great with our Paul and made sure he stayed happy and well cared for while we were apart. He didn't have any bad behaviors after his stay at Renae's or a hoarse bark, like he has from other boarding places. I highly recommend her and definitely would use her again!!!

Heather P. ★★★★★Boarding · via Rover

We were anxious 1st time boarders. Renae responded quickly to our request and didn’t hesitate to board our 4 year old dog and 16 week old puppy. She spoiled our pups by letting them sleep in bed with her and text us daily with a photo and quick update. At pickup they were happy, smelled great and had on cute summer bandanas. Highly recommend!

Rollin P. ★★★★★Boarding · via Rover

I highly recommend Renae. She watched our dog, Sugar for 9 nights. She would send a daily update with a picture. She bathed, brushed and gave Sugar a cute bandana. You can tell she really loves dogs!

Kelly K. ★★★★★Boarding · via Rover

Renae was amazing! You could really tell she loves dogs and our dogs loved her! She went above and beyond to make sure our girls were cared for. They came back so soft and clean. She went the extra mile and brushed them and gave them bandanas! She communicated so well too! We were always in the loop with updates and pictures.

Carly H. ★★★★★Boarding · via Rover

Renae was amazing and treated our little boy like her own. She updated everyday with pictures and videos. She truly cares about animals and it shows. We will definitely be a returning customer.

FAQs

Here’s what pup parents usually ask before their first stay. Don’t see yours? Call or text me at (724) 396-7374.

Is this a kennel?

No. Your dog stays in my home, not in a kennel run. I have cozy spots to rest, a large fenced yard to play in and plenty of one-on-one attention.

How many dogs do you watch at once?

I take a maximum of 10 dogs at a time, so every pup still gets plenty of attention.

Do I need to do a meet & greet first?

Yes. Every new pup starts with a meet & greet so I can learn their routine and make sure it’s a great fit. You can request one with the booking form below.

What dogs can stay?

I welcome dogs up to 80 lbs. All dogs must be spayed or neutered, and I can’t accept females in heat.

What are drop-off and pick-up times?

For daycare, you can drop off anytime after 6:30am and pick up no later than 7:00pm.

What do I need to bring?

Just your pup, their food and any medications. I have beds, blankets, bowls and lots of toys.

How do new dogs meet the pack?

New guests get time to settle in their own space, separated by a gate so they can see the other dogs first. Once they’re comfortable, they join the group. Big and small dogs have separate areas if anyone needs a break.

Where will my dog sleep?

Wherever your pup feels most comfortable. I have dog beds and blankets in every room.

What will my pup do all day?

Lots! We do silly photo shoots, play with the bubble machine, splash in a small pool, take walks in the creek, work on puzzles and enjoy relaxing massages. I take the dogs out every two to three hours for play, exercise and potty breaks.

Will I get updates while I’m away?

Yes! I send daily photo updates, and often videos too, so you can see your pup having fun.

Can you give my dog medication?

Yes. I can give both oral and injected medications and have experience caring for dogs with special needs. Just include the details in your request.

How much does it cost?

Doggy daycare is $30 a day. Overnights and extended stays are $45 a night, which covers a full 24 hours of care. There’s a discount for a second dog.

How do I order Bark Bites?

Use the order form in the Bark Bites section. Each box is $25 for 35 homemade treats — that’s an introductory price, so grab a box while it lasts! Please order at least 3 days ahead. Treat boxes are pickup only in Greensburg.
