Morning Little Valley Kennel family. I just want to take a minute to thank all my wonderful clients!!! I truly appreciate every one of you. A special thank you to Cheryl jock, and Sharalyn Prim. I have been under the weather the past couple of days and Cheryl came back with lots of remedies to help me feel better and Sharalyn drew this super cute picture of Jasper after I said it was like grooming Stevie Wonder when she picked him up after his grooming lol. ( Most dogs don't like their faces played with) Lol It truly made my day.I am so grateful for all of you. Hope you all have a good day, I'm going to go try to get over this darn cold. Love you guys!!

🐾 A Little Reminder About Boarding Drop-Off & Pick-Up Hours

Hi everyone! I wanted to give a quick reminder about Little Valley Kennel’s drop-off and pick-up hours.

As a small, owner-operated kennel, I personally handle the daily care of the dogs, cleaning, feeding, exercise, grooming, appointments, and everything else that goes into keeping the kennel running.

I’m always happy to work with clients when I reasonably can, but moving forward I’ll be sticking more closely to my regular drop-off and pick-up hours.

🐶 Monday, Wednesday & Friday:
7:30 AM – 2:30 PM

🐶 Tuesday & Thursday:
7:30-8:00 AM OR 3:00 PM

🐶 Saturday & Sunday:
7:30-8:00 AM OR 5:45-6:00 PM

These are my regular hours, but they may occasionally need to change depending on my schedule. There may be appointments, family obligations, or other circumstances that require me to adjust availability on a particular day. If that happens, I’ll always communicate the available times with you ahead of time whenever possible.

I completely understand that everyone has different schedules, and over the years I’ve tried my best to accommodate special drop-off and pick-up times whenever I could. I’ll still help when I reasonably can, but being a small, owner-operated kennel means I’m simply not able to offer on-demand drop-offs and pick-ups throughout the day.

Having set hours allows me to properly plan my day, give the dogs in my care the time and attention they deserve, and also maintain a schedule and life outside of the kennel.

When planning your dog’s stay, please plan your drop-off and pick-up around the available kennel hours. If you’re unsure what times are available for your dates, just ask and I’ll be happy to let you know. ❤️

I truly appreciate all of my wonderful clients and your understanding and respect for my hours. Providing great care for your dogs will always be incredibly important to me — I just need to make sure I’m doing that within a schedule that is sustainable too. 🐾❤️

Thank you,
Mindy

Good Morning Little Valley Kennel Family
❤️ A Little Break ❤️

This summer has been a challenging one, and I've decided to take a week to rest, recharge, and spend some time with my family.

Little Valley Kennel will be closed August 25th through August 31st.

Thank you all for your patience, kindness, and continued support. It truly means more than you know. I'm looking forward to returning refreshed and ready to welcome all of our wonderful furry guests back in September.

Please contact me soon if you need boarding before or after those dates, as space fills quickly.

Thank you again for supporting my small business. 🐾❤️

Good morning Little Valley Kennel family. It is with heavy hearts that we share the passing of our dear friend and longtime Little Valley Kennel family member, Patti.

Many of you had the pleasure of knowing Patti through the kennel. Her kindness, gentle spirit, and love for every dog she cared for left a lasting impression on all of us. She will be deeply missed.

To honor Patti and attend her funeral, Little Valley Kennel will be closed on Monday, August 3rd. We appreciate your understanding during this difficult time.

Please keep Patti's family and loved ones in your thoughts.

Forever a part of the Little Valley Kennel family.

Happy Memorial Day to all of Our Little Valley Kennel Friends!!!
I am gauging interest to see if anyone would be interested in puppy social hour sessions, play groups will be for pups 16 weeks to 6 months. During the sessions I will help with any questions on puppy care, you will also get a free puppy guide included in the session. This would be a great opportunity to socialize your pups. Please let me know if anyone would be interested and we can set up sessions.

Good Morning Little Valley Kennel Family.
Due to rising operational costs, including utilities and supplies, we will be making a small adjustment to our boarding rates beginning February 1st 2026.

This change allows us to continue providing a safe, clean, and comfortable environment for your dogs while maintaining the level of care you trust.

We truly appreciate your continued support and understanding—it means more than you know.
