Doggy Day Care in Cedar Grove

“Darien’s home is so much more than a dog groomer / boarding. She is a true caretaker. She handles my energetic pup with care, training and patience. She is always accommodating of my hectic schedule and is even cleaner than me - I did not think that was humanly possible! I love the constant updates of her running around and having fun/burning energy so when she comes home she is wiped out! I am so glad I found Darien and her doggy daycare ❤️”

About: I spent the past 4 years running a successful dog-watching business in NYC with my partner. We have since relocated to Northern NJ and intend to provide the same high quality services for pets here. I grew up with animals - dogs, rabbits, birds, mice, turtles and fish. I would’ve had cats too if members of my family weren’t so allergic. As a teen I volunteered with friends at our local animal shelter and chose to work with the cat population because most of the volunteers wanted to walk the dogs. Most recently I trained my own dog - starting from when she was 6 weeks old. I used a combination of training techniques (including crate training) to successfully potty-train her, teach her to walk on a leash and eventually teach her to hike and run together off-leash. My dog is now 3 years old and I bring her to my grandmother’s assisted living facility. She interacts with and plays appropriately with other dogs, pets, adults and children of all ages. She is a secure dog and adaptable to any environment. I believe my dog’s calm and friendly demeanor is a direct reflection of my skills. I’m prepared to handle dogs across the spectrum of sizes and energy levels. I live close to many beautiful parks and trails, some with dedicated areas for dog-play. I will closely follow any instructions you have for feeding, exercising, sleeping and socializing your precious pet. I work part-time from home and set my own schedule so I am able to dedicate the appropriate time and attention to your pet easily. I will treat your pet like part of my family if they stay with me. I have a very calming presence that animals seem to react really well too. I am happy to watch your pet at your place if that works best. I provide an engaging, safe environment no matter the location.

“Steven and Tracy are ah-mazing with Jaxson. When I drop him off in the mornings for doggy daycare he’s usually tired but as soon as he sees them waiting in the driveway his tail starts wagging and he’s immediately excited, and I love that. I work a lot and having a safe, fun place for him to socialize with other dogs (annd they have 6 of their own) and be loved on is exactly what I was looking for. I always look forward to the pictures and videos they send throughout the day, and they are great with communication. When I pick him up after work we’re both tired lol, and that’s all a busy dog mom could hope for. I appreciate the service immensely and I’m very happy I picked the right people for Jaxson on my first try with the Rover App.”

“Cinthia was amazing with Koda. She was very communicative and provided regular updates throughout the day. I felt very comfortable with her watching my dog and knowing he was in good hands. Would totally recommend leveraging cinthia if you have the opportunity.”

“Geoff & Family took such great care of our dog, sending regular updates throughout the day. They are true animal lovers with a great set up to properly host dogs and make them feel at home!”

“We’ve greatly appreciated Andrea’s flexibility, kindness and great communication. Shelley has clearly enjoyed the care as well - after day one, she hustled straight to the door for drop-off and can hardly wait to get inside to start her care. Andrea also very kindly gifted Shelley toys that she loved to bits (literally). This sitter is pet and pet parent recommended.”

“A day for Pip with Amanda and Max is always a great day. They keep an impeccably clean and dog friendly house. And the gorgeous upscale neighborhood has quiet safe streets, so I know Pip is safe on his walks.”

“Outstanding service! I needed a last-minute backup sitter when our regular sitter wasn't available. Karen responded -and continued to respond throughout our interaction- immediately and thoughtfully. She asked excellent questions at our "meet-n-greet" and our pup immediately warmed to her and her well-kept home. I wasn't able to tell her exactly when I would be back to pick up due to lack of cell service but she took it in stride and replied "No problem" when I was finally able to communicate. Karen is new to this site and I'm confident she will be racking up 5-star reviews in no time. I will definitely use her again and tell my friends.”

“Línó had another amazing day at Yuberkis, now happily chilling on the couch after a fun, tiring time. Thanks again – we’ll definitely be back! 👍😊”

“Eunice was so great with Mocha. He’s a senior so he needs a little more care and attention and Eunice had a great handle on it. He looked like he had such a great time!”

About: Hi! I’m Marina, a dancewear designer and a proud mom to a lovable 6-year-old dog. My love for animals brings me so much happiness, and I truly enjoy their company! I am mainly working in dance industry but do have part time to spend with dogs since I have my own and i have a lot of friends that have pets I just love to cuddle with them, walk them and play. I will prioritize the unique needs of each animal, recognising that every pet is special and deserves tailored care. I strive to create a comforting and personalized experience, ensuring that every pet feels valued and well- cared for.

“Our dog had a great time staying with Digdem, we left him for a few hours with her and her dogs and he was cared for well and had fun. We would highly recommend Digdem”

“Alex is great with Shea. She is happy to spend time at his house, and I know that she is good hands when I can’t care for her myself. Would highly recommend.”

Megan E.

“Excellent. Desi & Marilyn care about what they do. They sent us pictures and videos throughout the day to let us know how our pup was doing and how he was having fun with the other dogs. They were thoughtful about introducing my pup, Benji, to the pack. They asked me questions to about Benji's needs and were great communicators through and through. Benji seemed very happy with his stay. We will be booking again.”

“Valerie was great with Ophelia. She got her outside a lot so she could sniff to her heart's content. Saw her first deer! Great communication. Thanks for taking such good care of our pup!”

About: I take dogs into my home to be loved and treated as my own. I am home all day and have alot of time all day to take care of them. I am retired, local resident with ample time on my hands. Willing to accommodate short notice if necessary. Reliable transportation can provide pick up and drop of service. I feed them, walk them, play with them as they were my own. Give medicine as needed. Provide trips to local dog park thru out the day.

About: I have taken care of all sorts of dogs ever since I could remember. I have a lot of experience and love for animals of all kinds. My family and friends have relied on me to walk, bathe, feed, and care for their pets for many years! I am currently attending Berklee College of Music so i’m available at anytime on the weekend and most times during the week, if you contact me we can definitely work something out! I live in a pretty spacious apartment where your dog can have more than enough space to walk around, and although I grew up with 3 dogs in my home town, I do not have any dogs here in Boston so there is no worry about whether or not your dog with get along with other dogs. This way I will be able to give my full, undivided attention to your dog while I’m on the job. I am a student at Berklee College of Music and have some classes during the week but I am pretty flexible as they are only a couple of hours out of the day. I am completely free on weekends. I love animals and they deserve the best. I give my pets lots of love, and pets, and cuddles; and I treat every pet that I care for, and my own.

“Manuel is simply fabulous!! My dog is 12 and had an ACL tear and had surgery. I needed someone to watch him for the day about a week after surgery. My dog had a cone and a lick sleeve and we went for a Meet and Great with Manuel. He was so warm, professional and compassionate to my lil guy. My dog stayed with him a few days later and it was perfect. Manuel had to carry my dog up the steps and he was so gentle and loving. I highly recommend Manuel. You can’t get anyone better to take care of your furbaby!!”

“Nikki & her family have been amazing! Jaxson gets so excited to be dropped off, he’s at the door as soon as I mention her name. I get updates with pics, videos and check ins. Also, Nikki is super accommodating. My work schedule changes at the last minute and she’s always willing to help. I was nervous because there are a few dogs there but don’t be, I realized Jaxson had friends to play with and could work on socialization. Can’t recommend her enough.”

“Elizabeth is wonderful! She takes great care of my pet Luna, who absolutely adores her. I highly recommend her services!”
