Hayley has been working with animals at boarding facilities since she was fifteen years old! She went to multiple colleges including Medaille for Vet tech. When she was growing up she always dreamt of owning her own dog kennel. At the young age of twenty-three Hayley fulfilled that dream and became not only a business owner but a kennel facility! Hayley’s pack at home consists of a large orange cat named Louie, Gunner a chocolate lab, Molly a pitbull mix, and Logan the smooth fox terrier. Hayley’s goal for this facility is to make it a true “Home Away From Home” for all pets!
Nik is our kennel maintenance man as well as Hayleys husband. Over the years Nik has rescued every dog he has owned from local shelters. In his free time he races cars at Lancaster Speedway in the super stock and street stock class. If you are ever at a track look out for our kennel logo on his car! Go #41.
Emily always had an animal around when she was growing up which is how she became such an animal lover! Now she has 3 fur babies of her home!

She is very excited to be apart of our team and cannot wait to meet and play with all of all your cats and pups that come through our doors!
Briana has been an animal lover from the beginning. After high school Briana planned on going into the medical field and worked at group homes, but then she began here part time. Even though she tried out other jobs in the medical field such as phlebotomy, home health care she kept coming back… I mean how can anything compare to working with dogs!? Her pitbull Remington was even part of her engagement! Briana is the manager here at Home Away From Home!
Everyone please meet Theresa and Gizmo her 11 year old fox terrier, jack russell mix! Theresa has been grooming for 8 years and is experienced in many breeds cuts. She has always been madly in love with animals as far back as she can remember. She was always bringing home animals she found as a kid. Eight years ago when she lost her desk job her friend asked what she would do if she could do anything in the world. Of course she said she wanted to work with animals and the rest is history. Theresa is our groomer!
This is Stacy Abby. Stacy has always loved and wanted to work with animals! She took the beginner grooming BOCES class just to learn more about the industry. From there Stacy worked at and co-managed 2 larger boarding kennels. She also worked as a bather at kennels which allowed her to learn more aspects of the grooming side of the business. She is hoping to become a groomer in the near future! She says she is excited to continue to learn even more and meet some great new dog and cat friends! Stacy is our bather!
Emily is a junior at Duquesne University. She is studying environmental science because of her love and passion for our planet.

Jess has grown up loving animals and has had some of her greatest memories with her dogs. Jess’s dog Charlotte is a 6 year old Labrador retriever and her best buddy. After bringing her to Home away from Home kennels and having a great experience Jess was excited for the opportunity to work in an animal orientated atmosphere. Currently she is studying to become an Occupational therapist at D’Youville College. She hopes to learn new skills here at Home Away From Home and can’t wait to meet all the customers and their furry friends! Jess is a kennel staff!
Kennady has been around animals her entire life, whether it be large animals such as horses or small animals like cats, dogs and even hamsters! After Kennady brought her 5 year old lab Denali to Home Away From Home Kennels she knew that she wanted to work here! Animals are a big part of her life and she is thrilled to be working with them! Most recently, Kennady adopted her very own puppy Kinley. Kinley is a boarder collie/Aussie Mix and her mama is head over heals in love with her! Kinley will be accompanying her mom to work very soon to play with all your pups who attend daycare or board here!
We pride ourselves on the cleanliness of our kennels and building. We ensure that your pets are comfortable and feel safe when they stay with us. Each kennel is equipped with sound proof walls so your pets aren’t disturbed by outside sounds and we have a huge outdoor play area.
I’ve been working with dogs for the last 8 years in different kennels . I try to bring the best of my experiences to the kennel because like you, I’m an animal lover. Together with Nik, we have three dogs and a cat.
If you haven’t seen the facility, please call us and we’ll be happy to give you a tour so that you can see the care we give to your dog or cat. I look forward to seeing you!
