Doggy Day Care in Hackensack

About: Growing up with dogs throughout our childhood and youth, we've taken care of dogs of all sizes (Labrador, German Shepherd, Maltese, Golden Retriever, Poodle, Golden Doodle), including our own and those of friends and family. We've trained our family's puppies and seen them grow and develop until old age. We are patient trainers and love to emotionally & physically connect with puppies and dogs. What sets us apart is that we not only care for our furry little friends but we take great pictures of them! We combine our love for dogs with passion for photography, taking candid photos of their most sweetest moments sleeping, playing, and having fun. You'll be assured they are being well-cared for, fed, walked AND have photos you'll want to keep! We take turns working from home (one of us is always home) so we have plenty of time to care for and play with dogs and pups! We can board and sit dogs on most days and can walk during the day on most weekdays. We do not have kids or other pets in the house, so we can invest all of my attention to your pup/dog. We live in an apartment with plenty of outdoor space and parks nearby, so we can take your dog on frequent walks and poop breaks, as needed! We have many neighbors wih dogs and other pets, so the apartment itself is very pet-friendly and understanding (it also has a pet spa FYI).

“We had a last minute booking due to an unexpected situation and we were desperately in need of a babysitter for our little guy. Karla was extremely responsive, friendly, and caring. My little guy just walked right in to her home as if he knew her all his life. He looked so happy when I picked him up. I will definitely recommend Karla and will be using her services again.”

About: Caring for animals has always been my passion, but my journey as a pet sitter truly deepened when I rescued Thor, a Shiba Inu saved from the Asian meat trade. Helping him heal, rebuild trust, and ultimately find a loving community of Shibas at Snyder Solutions Animal Rescue & Conservation Group changed my perspective on pet care forever. Now, as a pet sitter, I bring that same patience, compassion, and dedication to every animal I care for. Whether it’s providing a safe and comfortable space, engaging playtime, or specialized care for rescue pets, I treat each pet as if they were my own. Your furry family member will be in loving, experienced hands with me. I work fully remote, so I'm with our furry friends throughout the day. They'll also be my travel buddy for daily activities as the weather gets nicer for picnics with friends, walks in the park, and etc. Depending on the day, I work from either one of my two home offices with my partner. My condo in Teaneck has a fenced in dog park within our community, and our apartment in Hackensack is located 3 min from Lakeview Field in Little Ferry. We also frequently go for runs & walks at Overpeck Park in Leonia, so your pets will have plenty of room to get the daily exercise they need!

“This was Loki’s third stay, and it was great as always! Rocío is always quick to respond, sends pics during the visit, and is very sweet with Loki :)”

“I had to find a last minute sitter and Linda was perfect for the job! She really took the time to understand my pups needs and was flexible with our drop off/pickup times. My pup can be a picky eater but she got him to eat his dinner with ease! Bumi had an amazing time with her and I felt super relieved with all the updates she sent me. Bonus - her apartment was super easy to commute to. I’ll definitely book her again when I’m in Manhattan :)”

“This our first time using Rover and Shamel's service. I worried a lot, but after all it looks like our dog Petrusha had a wonderful day with Shamel and his family! Petrusha came back relaxed and happy. We definitely will let him stay with Shamel more times. It's very good to know that you have a person who is reliable and helpful to stay with your pet. Thank you, Shamel!”

About: I've had dogs all my life! My pup Toffee is my best friend, nothing beats coming home to someone who's always so excited to see you! I take care of friends' and family's dogs while they're away as well - both large and small. I spoil them and always want them to feel at home while their person is away. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! Intermittent games of fetch between zoom calls are always on the agenda as well! Lunchtime breaks consist of lots of play time, and after work I usually make sure that we spend a good amount of time outside. I take the pups out about every 3-4 hours or as needed. It breaks up the day as well and give me a chance to get up and walk too! I love giving lots of playtime and cuddles on the floor, and love being able to take them out to the park to run and play, or just a leisurely stroll around the block! I'll practice commands too with lots of treats and praise!

“Nicole was great and provided updates and pictures throughout the day . Would recommend to anyone looking for doggy day care. Will use her again in the future.”

She was also extremely accommodating and flexible with our schedule which worked out great. We truly appreciate the thoughtful attention she gave to Honey, and we would absolutely love to have her watch Honey again. I highly recommend Kiky!”

“Brianny is amazing! She is very experienced and loving with the pups. My dog settled in with her right away. She is super communicative and organized which is very helpful with trying to coordinate her services and also when working to make sure she has everything she needs to care for the pup. By the second day, my pup didn’t want to leave her! Can’t wait to work with her again. Highly recommend her and will be booking her soon!”
