Dog Boarding in Fair Haven

“Bob and his wife were excellent with our pup! I was a little anxious leaving him because this was our first time with Bob, and we were out of the country, but he had a great time. Bob was very kind and sweet to him, with regular walks in addition to playing in his yard. It seems he had plenty of cuddles and didn’t want to leave! We will definitely use Bob again in the future, we are very happy.”

About: Animals have been a huge part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them truly lights me up! I’m a former small-animal veterinary technician with 5 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all breeds, ages, and medical needs (this goes from energetic puppies to sweet senior pets who need a little extra love!) I hold a BS in Equine Science (animal husbandry) from Centenary University & Hartpury University. I have spent my life caring for a wide variety of animals, including horses, cats, and dogs. I’ve even managed the care of over 100 horses at one time! Whether I’m riding in Colts Neck, working in a veterinary setting, or shark diving, I’m happiest when I’m surrounded by animals. I’ve also cared for my own dogs my entire life, including my beagle Maggie and my mutt Princess. I take care of all of my friend's dogs and animals when needed (Peep my friend's weenie named Stevie on my photos page). I’m kind, gentle, playful, and very attentive! I treat every pet like family, and their comfort and happiness always come first (they eat before I do!) I currently live in Pier Village, which means dogs get safe, fun, and enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk. My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday. I made this account years ago but never ended up using it. Since letting my most recent beagle go over the rainbow bridge, I am not looking to adopt for a while but being able to care for other's dogs will bring me great happiness! Now that I graduated and have more free time after ending my vet tech career I can't wait to be established in NJ! I can’t wait to meet you and your pet and provide loving, dependable care while you’re away! My schedule offers full availability on Sundays and Mondays, with flexible availability Tuesday through Saturday. *Hours Tuesday - Saturday change every week (I get 2 weeks in advance notice for these specific days) & will most likely be morning and evening walks/drop-ins (I am not available midday for check ins or walks during those specific days)* I treat every pet as part of my family, whether they’re in my home or yours. In my care, pets get lots of love, gentle attention, and structured routines (obviously let me know specific needs and I'll make it happen). I make sure they eat on time, get plenty of playtime, walks, and mental stimulation, and receive any medications or special care they need. I’m calm, patient, and playful, and I always pay close attention to each pet’s personality and comfort. In my home in Pier Village, pets enjoy safe, enriching walks along the beach and boardwalk, cozy spots to rest, and lots of cuddles and attention! Whether in your home or mine, I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and stress free, giving them the love, care, and reassurance they deserve while their family is away. I also provide updates and photos so you can see that your furry friend is comfortable, happy, and thriving!

About: I grew up with a dog and have owned my own now for the past 4 years. I’m super patient and love allowing dogs to be in their natural element- outdoor time and getting some good sniffs in is the key to a happy pup. While I’m not a certified trainer, I do feel like I have a knack for it- gimme a go 😉 I currently work from home and hang with my dog during the day. Happy to have your pup join us on our daily walks or I could also work from prospect park if you prefer your pup to have as much outdoor time as possible. I do try to give my dog as much outdoor time as possible- I think there’s no greater stimuli than to be outdoors and smelling all the smells. Dogs need that.

“Megan and her husband Bryan were absolutely great with our two boys Louie and Brady. They provided us with adorable pictures, including a little backyard pool on a hot day and belly rubs! They kept in contact throughout the time we were away and we felt confident that our pups were being loved and looked after just as we would have! Thank you both :)”

About: Since I was 10 years old, I’ve always had a dog in my life. I love animals so much and I offer nothing but affection and care. I love cuddling with them too if they’re open to it. I’m in sales so I do work from home a lot. When I leave my house, it’s for a maximum of four hours. If you have a dog that is shy, I have a separate room for him/her. I have a 10 pound Shih Tzu living in our home. I adore him and he’s very friendly but if your dog does not like other dogs, it’s not a problem to keep them separate. I usually keep my dog on the main floor of the townhome. He has full access to the whole floor. If your dog is shy, I have a spare room on the lower level that the dog can stay in solo with a couch, dog bed, crate, and toys. I will only take 1 household at a time (2 dogs max) to ensure that your pup gets plenty of individual attention.

“Danielle, Michael and their family were absolutely wonderful! They sent me plenty of pictures and I knew my Chewy was doing great! I highly recommend them!”

Teresa R.

“Lorrie was absolutely amazing with my two aussies. The boys stayed 5 days and loved every minute of it! We recieved a video everyday as well as an update on how the boys were doing. Both Dogs had an absolutely wonderful time ! I highly recommend her to take care of your fur babies ! She is the best :)”

Stephanie P.

“Toni was the absolute best and was not only incredibly responsive and quick to answer any questions, but was happy to send photos of our pooch during our trip. I recommend her 10/10”

Daniel M.

“Our dog was at Michael’s for a week - for the first time and though I think it was a bit challenging for our dog to get used to the new anvironment and few other dogs Michael made sure that Archie was well taken care of and as calm as possible. Michael sent us daily updates with pictures and videos. Great service and care and would recommend Michael to anyone. Five stars all the way. And we appreciate your care and love for dogs.”

Alex K.

“Kris was great with watching our mini dachshund for the weekend - would definitely recommend!”

Brittany D.

“Michelle and her family will treat your dog like their own! It’s so nice to leave your dog with a family truly enjoyed having them. We will bring Archie to Michelle again!”

About: I had dogs through my whole life. The last ones were three of schnauzers. One of them is still living and he’s about 18 years old. I love dogs I like the walk-in exercise the company. I will be honored to take care of your dog. I have plenty of time on my hands now that I am semi retired. Taking care of dogs or give me something to do and some financial support. The way I care for my pets is I feed them? I walk them play with them. As far as my clients dogs, I would do what they want me to do whether it’s walking or playing with them.

“Carol and Dimitri were wonderful with our little Honey. They took great care of her, and gave her lots of love. We will definitely look forward to having her stay with them again.”

Helen H.

“Dan and Keya are amazing! They took care of my puppy with so much love and care. I would recommend anyone to them. I will be using their services again!”

About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured and continue to add new classes and certifications under my belt. I have been in a dog training apprenticeship for the last few months as well and have found it so helpful to bring that knowledge with me when taking care of peoples pets. The greatest compliment I have received is that it's obvious how much I love the animals I work with, and it is so true. I have quite literally never enjoyed showing up to work as much as I do now. Thank you all for trusting me with your babies and your homes-- I do not take that responsibility lightly. Since making the full-time pivot to pet care, my schedule now has the flexibility fit around the needs of your pets. For walks, our walk doesn't officially "START" until your dogs paws hit the pavement! Your dog gets the full 30 minutes with no corners cut. This is true for all of my services. I will care for them like they are my own dogs— their safety is my top priority, and I know how difficult the transition can be for pups when their parents are gone and will do everything in my power to make that easier for them.

“I have review Rachel a few times now and every time, she is amazing. She watched our almost 1 year old golden doodle for 6 days and nights. Babka is so happy when she is there. And so happy when she comes home. No issues whatsoever and Rachel sent pictures and videos too. Also her dog loves Babka and that makes us so happy for them both to have a friend to play with for the week. We will continue to use Rachel whenever we can.”
