Dog Boarding in Montclair

“Karen and Eddie are just the best! Karen always takes such good care of our boys, I know they are in good hands with her whether it’s for daycare or for a few day stay. We are so thankful for her - I can not recommend her enough!”

“First of all, we have been very thankful to Raya for taking care of our dog for almost two weeks. She was very informative. She always kept us informed of our dog’s status by sending us pictures and videos. We will definitely want her to watch our dog again.”

“I really can't praise Digdem (Dee) enough! I had booked another dog sitter on Rover.com but she had to unfortunately cancel due to a family emergency. Dee promptly replied to my request and we set-up a meet-n-greet within a few days. My kids (dogs) have not really been socialized much so I was worried how they would react with Dee's dogs and how they would do in general being left with a stranger. But everyone seemed to get along, so I booked it. I'm so glad I did! Dee sent me pictures everyday and I was so happy to return home to find both Hekate and Hermes so well cared for and so unmoved by the whole experience. I will definitely book with Dee again in the future and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a great dog-sitter!”

“Val is a fantastic reliable dog sitter and took great care of our French bulldog over a long weekend. He was well cared for and she sent us multiple updates throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend anyone else to use her and we are looking forward to booking her again!”

“Amanda was just the greatest. She really took care of Bella (my cat), and even sent me photos and updates. Giving her an all-star rating!”

“Our pup had a good, relaxing stay and that was in no small part due to Estefania’s attentiveness, knowledge and caring for dogs. Starbuck can’t wait to visit again!”

About: A lifelong devotee of our four-legged friends, having shared my home with everyone from a majestic Chow Chow-Husky mix, a dignified Pekinese, to a spirited Dachshund. While Boxers hold a special place in my heart, my affection knows no bounds when it comes to breeds; I believe every dog has its unique charm. It's no surprise that my friend's pets often find themselves comfortably at my side, feeling the warmth of my genuine love for all canines. Though I don't hold professional training certifications, my life has been a rich tapestry of hands-on experiences with dogs of all temperaments. I am deeply committed to respecting the routines and training regimes established by their owners, rewarding good behavior to foster a well-balanced, happy dog. My approach to care is simple yet profound: I follow your lead, ensuring your dog's needs are met with patience, understanding, and lots of love. Special care needs? Consider them covered following all instructions, medication schedules, and appts necessary. My dog, Chico, a resilient soul I rescued as a newborn, has been my loyal companion for nearly 15 years. Despite his age, he exudes the playful spirit of a puppy I work from home and run errands a few times a week for less than a couple of hours. However, if a service is scheduled that requires my full attention, I will be sure to accommodate the pup's needs first. Caring for pets in any setting is centered on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I start with a thorough meet-and-greet to understand their needs and routines. In both my home and a client's, I ensure a safe, familiar environment, sticking to established routines to minimize stress. I meticulously manage feeding, exercise, and medication, providing regular updates to owners. Exercise, play, and companionship are key; I tailor activities to each pet's energy level and ensure they receive plenty of affection. Observant of their health and behavior, I'm prepared for emergencies, respecting the owner's home and maintaining cleanliness. My approach combines love, attentiveness, and ongoing education in pet care best practices, ensuring pets are well-cared for, happy, and thriving. I walk to local parks with my pup Chico who is a deaf/mute 14 lbs dachshund. I have an area by my home that is grassy and planted with large trees for extra shade when needed.

“Thank you so much for taking care of Bruno. I loved how you kept me updated with everything you did with him. He was very happy when I picked him up, so I know you guys did a great job caring for me. Thank you again!”

“Both Alice and Pearlie took great care of Sophie overnight. Felt very confident and comfortable leaving her in their care overnight after the meet and greet. They had past experience giving insulin injections to diabetic dogs which was a big plus as Sophie is a diabetic. I got several updates and pictures throughout the visit. And they have plenty of space in their backyard. Sophie got along great with their 2 beagles. Will certainly book again!”

“Stacy was amazing with our dog Sherlock, providing many updates and photos. She is very friendly and was quick to answer any questions that we had. When we picked up Sherlock he was relaxed and obviously very well looked after and given lots of love and attention during his stay. We would definitely use Stacy again to look after Sherlock.”

“Alex was outstanding. He was clear on all expectations, provided daily communications and updates, and was super flexible on our arrangement. From the pictures, it seems like our dog was well loved, while in his care. We returned home to a contented pup and will definitely be seeking his services again in the future.”

“Sade is my permanent sitter for my baby she loves and takes care of my dog like it was her own my dog wasn’t Fermin well and she notified me immediately and she went above and beyond for my dog !! She is caring loving 🥰 and compassionate about animals and she has a beautiful spirit about her my dog loves her !! She is the best sitter I ever had and I’m definitely keeping her permanently because she truly cares and loves my dog Sade is the best in the business thanks again Sade for taking excellent care of my dog I appreciate u so much and I’m glad I found u 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️🥰🥰”

“Great first experience in dog sitting. Nervous to leave my dog in a strangers home but Manuel was accommodating and responsive to all the questions I had. Would definitely book again when the need arises. Thank you! ”

“James was great! He would make sure to send pictures and updates to us and always kept my dog active and busy, regularly bringing him to the park to play fetch. Will be using again in the future”

“Olive had such a great time with Katie! She had a 3 night stay and Katie kept in constant communication with updates throughout the weekend! We will definitely be repeat customers! Thank you!!”

“Dee was so patient and kind with Bronx! He is a high anxiety dog, so I appreciate her patience with him during their walks. Dee's home is clean, inviting and comfortable, so I totally felt comfortable leaving Bronx there after our meet and greet. She also lives on a street with lots of grassy areas and right next to a beautiful park. If we need a dog sitter in the future, I wouldn't hesitate to book with Dee again!”

“Chantal did an amazing job sitting my dogs. Excellent communication and even sent pics and videos of my dogs daily activities. Will definitely use her services again and refer to anyone.”

“Our anxious girl Sophie stayed with Desi and Marilyn for a week. She was so well taken care of and got to socialize with lots of friendly dogs without it being too overwhelming for her. One of the best perks is that Desi and Marilyn already have pretty much everything your dog needs. This was a huge timesaver for me when I had to pack up my human family for vacation. It also meant less stress for Sophie because she didn't see her things being packed up.”

“Took such good care of my baby. I loved all the updates and knowing he was in good hands.”

“Amanda was great. She did an amazing job sending pictures and keeping me updated on how Sherlock was doing. I could tell he had a great time. I’ll definitely be booking with Amanda again in the future.”
