Doggy Day Care in Dering Harbor

“Jared was so good with our older, arthritic, blind dog. He was attentive and responded quickly. I am so happy with his day care service for our boy that I will be recommending him to everyone I know out east!”

“Hannah is great, this is the second time Franklin had stayed with her, and he had a wonderful time! Hannah sent us lots of updates throughout the day, and gave our pup lots of playtime and walks. He can’t wait to go back!”

“I wish we could give Allison 6 stars. She came through for us at the last minute and made our dog feel welcome and comfortable right away. The next time we are out East Allison will be the first person we contact. We could not recommend her more.”

“Maria was very accommodating and made arrangements for her daughter to watch my dog because she was going to be out of town. Sesame was thrilled to be in her house.”

“Mary Jo watched my dog and my sister’s (both anxious seniors) over the holiday weekend for daycare. We gave her weird hours and she accommodated us regardless, despite having little ones of her own. Drop off and pick up process was quick. It was late when we picked up so when a steel bowl was left behind she mailed it back, which we appreciated a lot. We trust her experience with dogs and are so happy the fur babies were safe and sound while we were away!”

“Jill did a great job taking care of our Border Collie, Buddy. Jill’s a pleasure to work with, responsive and caring, can tell she really loves dogs and made sure Buddy felt right at home. We received regular pictures and a video. Great environment for our Buddy!”

“This was my first time ever leaving Ange. I was a little nervous, but everything went great over all. Carolina text me through out the day and made me feel so comfortable with me leaving Ange. I will definitely use Carolina in the near future.”

“Tessa took great care of Ralsei for a long day when we had to be out of town. She sent us photos and a video, and was always very quick to respond to messages. Awesome experience, hope to book again in the future!”

“This was my first time using Rover.com. I had picked up my German shepherd, Evie, from a shelter in North Carolina last November. Based on her recorded condition when brought in as a stray 5 weeks before she had been through a rough period. She has fully recovered now and is in good health. My wife and I wanted to find someone to board her with where she would be happy when we're away. We identified a few possibilities at the Rover website and following a positive meet and greet with Nadjeska last week, had Evie spend the day with her yesterday. It went very well. Nadjeska sent us several texts with photos during the day updating us on Evie's stay. We were looking for a home where Evie could spend time with and play with other dogs and Evie made a new friend, Sparkles, Najeska's little dog. Nadjeska has a fenced yard which provides a safe place for them to run around in the fresh air. Evie seemed to enjoy the day, Nadjeska obviously loves dogs, and we will be repeat clients in the near future.”

About: Hi! I’m an experienced and reliable pet lover who truly enjoys caring for dogs like they’re my own. I’m active, attentive, and committed to keeping your pup safe, happy, and well-loved while you’re away.

“Joe and his wife were very friendly. They watched Shiloh for about 5 hours while we visited with friends in the area. At pick up, we could tell Shiloh enjoyed her visit and playtime with the family's dog.”

About: I treat each animal as if they were my own and focus on making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and relaxed while their owner is away. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routines, and preferences so their day feels as normal as possible. I’m very reliable and communicative. Owners receive regular updates and photos so they always know how their pet is doing. I understand how important peace of mind is when you’re away from your pet, and I make sure you feel confident they are in good hands. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. I can work with puppies who are still learning routines and basic training, as well as senior pets who may need a slower pace, extra patience, or medication. I’m happy to follow detailed care instructions to make sure your pet receives the exact care they are used to. Above all, I focus on creating a calm, positive environment so pets feel happy and well cared for while you are away. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. This allows me to give pets consistent attention, regular walks, feeding, and plenty of companionship throughout the day. 🐾 I provide a calm, safe environment for pets in my home and because I work from home I am able to follow each pet’s routine closely including feeding, playtime, and exercise. Pets have access to a dedicated fenced dog yard for fresh air and activity. I can crate dogs if that is part of their routine, and there is an outdoor ramp leading to the yard to make access easier and safer for senior dogs. My goal is always to help pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for while their owners are away. 🐾

“Karen was a great dog sitter for our little guy. She sent photo updates, was kind, & we knew our dog was in good hands. We would definitely book with Karen again. Thank you.”

“Dana babysat our dog for two days while we took kids around Mystic. She was super helpful and professional, and Gus got along great with her dog. Her location was convenient to our pet-friendly hotel. Everything worked out great!”

“Nicole is great! Communication was clear and quick and Nicole took great care of our Ziggy! Ziggy is a very energetic lab and after her day with Nicole she was wiped out! Thank you! We hope to be able to drop her off with you again in the future!”

About: I have a dog myself, so I’m accustomed to the patience and responsibility required to properly take care of them. Im athletic and not afraid of getting bitten. I’ve defended my dog once from an aggressive Belgian Shepard that got loose at the park. I also know the area well (what streets and parts of the park to avoid when crowded at certain times), so that your dog has a relaxing and satisfying walk. I respect and love all life. I take care of my dog full time, so walking and taking care of dogs fits perfectly into my schedule. My apartment is around 1500 sqft with outdoor space (nyc) house in SH is 3,000 sqft w yard and close to the beach. My days are completely free. With my dog, I usually walk 1-3 hours at the park in the morning (off leash). Then either 2 20-40 min walks in the evening and night or 1 1-2 hour long walk at night. I home cook for my dog. Usually chicken with some kind of grain like rice, potatoes, oatmeal, and some kind of fruit or vegetable. My place has two balconies (completely fenced in) so my dog can get fresh air.

About: I I have a unique background in dog sitting that sets me apart from others. For years, I’ve lovingly cared for my own 16-year-old rescue dog, who had special needs. This experience taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual requirements, especially senior dogs who need a little extra support and patience. In addition to senior care, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, gaining valuable insights into their different needs and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, ever since I adopted my golden retriever as a puppy—she’s now 2 years old and absolutely loves other dogs. Living within walking distance of the beach, I’m always excited to take dogs on outdoor adventures, making sure they have a fantastic time during their stay with me. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply extra snuggles, I’m dedicated to keeping every dog happy, comfortable, and safe. I am currently self-employed and work on my own time virtually. I am pretty much home all day everyday! I love being outside and going on long walks with the dogs I sit for. I have a yard with a stake for safe outdoor time, and I live within walking distance to the water—so the dogs will be going on plenty of walks and adventures.
