Pet Boarding Holmdel

“Willian was amazing with my dog, Frisco! He gave him so much care and attention, and I could tell Frisco was happy and comfortable the whole time. I really appreciated the updates and photos that gave me peace of mind while I was away. Frisco came home relaxed and well taken care of. I’ll definitely be booking with Willian again — highly recommend!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life and have years of hands-on experience caring for my own dogs as well as dogs belonging to friends and family. I truly love having dogs around and treat every pet in my care like part of the family. I provide a safe, loving and comfortable home where your dog will receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime and walks. I’m happy to follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding schedules, potty breaks and any special instructions you provide. I know how important it is to feel comfortable when leaving your pet with someone else, so I’m also happy to send regular photos and updates while your dog is staying with me. My goal is for both you and your dog to feel completely comfortable and at ease. I’m home most of the time, which gives me plenty of time to provide your pet with attention, companionship, playtime, walks, and frequent potty breaks throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends and can easily follow your pet’s regular feeding, walking, and sleeping routine. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my priority. I live in a pet-friendly community with plenty of green space and great areas for walks. My backyard is not fenced, so dogs will always be supervised and kept safely on a leash while outside. Inside my home, pets are welcome to relax and feel like part of the family. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions and your pet’s usual routine.

“Kathy is truly the best: understanding, patient and calm. A godsend for my anxious dog and our rambunctious puppy. She’s a great communicator throughout the booking and care processes.”

“I can't say enough great things about Kate! We got married at the Berkeley Hotel and needed someone to watch our dog from Saturday-Monday. Kate kept in touch with us, sent us updates, and photos the entire time. She went above and beyond and even met up with us on the boardwalk on the day of our wedding with our pup so we could take photos with him (She added roses to his collar, a beautiful touch!). Thank you, thank you, thank you Kate!!! Our pomeranian poodle, Charlie, was in the best care.”

About: Hi there! Although I only recently reactivated this app, caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my beloved Border Collie, Zoey (see Gallery), from puppyhood through adulthood. She has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, but during her life I taught her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide dogs of all ages with a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment that is free from hazards—while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⸻ Today, I own a longhaired male Dachshund named Moose. He loves other dogs, is up to date on his core vaccines, and is currently unneutered. Because of him, I have firsthand experience with the unique care that long-bodied breeds require, including proper handling techniques and back protection. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My prior Border Collie, Zoey, was dog-reactive and medically disabled (she was completely blind in one eye), so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s individual needs. ⸻ I am home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. The house sits on a fairly quiet street in close proximity to the Belford Ferry, making it especially convenient for NYC commuters. *********** For clients interested in doggy daycare or boarding, dogs will enjoy a securely fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor play, as well as an indoor doggy playpen located on the main living level of the home (see Gallery). The playpen is stocked with a rotating assortment of toys and enrichment activities for your pup to enjoy, and dogs also have access to the adjacent hardwood-floor living area. *********** To help keep all of our furry friends healthy and safe, proof of core vaccinations is required (except for young puppies), and all dogs must be on a flea and tick preventative. Clients are welcome to bring a crate, favorite bed, blanket, or other comfort items from home. Baby gates are installed on the stairs for added safety, and walks may be added to daycare or boarding services for an additional fee. *********** At this time, I accept one client (which can include multiple dogs) at a time, though multiple same-day clients can work if all parties are in agreement. This allows me to provide individualized attention, maintain a calm, low-stress environment, and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. I closely supervise all dog interactions and also have partitioned rooms, to easily keep dogs separated when needed (Moose also has a separate space for meals, naps, etc.). At night, your pup will have the playpen all to themselves for a peaceful night’s sleep (or a crate if you prefer). The playpen is also monitored with a baby monitor for an extra layer of safety. ⸻ My goal is to make drop-off as simple and stress-free as possible. If you’d prefer to simply drop off your pup, I’ve got the essentials covered! Of course, you’re always welcome to bring your dog’s own food, crate, favorite blanket, toys, or any comfort items if you’d like. *********** What’s Included with Daycare & Boarding: • Premium name-brand kibble, served with filtered water and dog-friendly bone broth • Quality limited-ingredient treats and chews such as turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, etc. • Supervised outdoor potty breaks and playtime in a securely fenced yard • Indoor enrichment activities, including frozen lick mats and puzzle toys • Access to a variety of toys, blankets, and beds • Daily photo updates for peace of mind 😊 ⸻ I am home during the day; during our initial consult meeting, I will coordinate with you to find pickup and drop-off times that work. 🐾 We can go over any quirks and routines that you like to do for your pup to ease separation anxiety (such as leaving the TV on 😊) to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾

“We left our 2 dogs with Mike while we were away 9 days on a vacation this is the second stay for Marley and Sonny boy. We enjoyed all the pics and video that mike sent us! He took excellent care of our pets and he is always our first choice pet sitter!”

About: I have loved and cared for animals since childhood. I grew up with my Doberman, Orlik, and later had two cats, Mia and Musya. I have over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for pets and I’m always happy to help friends and others when they need someone they can trust with their pets. I understand that every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs, and I always follow the owner’s instructions carefully. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, comfortable, loved, and cared for while they are with me I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to give pets the attention and care they need. I can adjust my routine based on each pet’s individual schedule, including feeding, walks, playtime, and rest. I’m happy to discuss your pet’s usual routine and do my best to keep it consistent. Your pet’s safety and comfort are very important to me. I have a fenced yard and will always provide a clean, comfortable, and caring environment. I carefully follow each owner’s instructions regarding feeding, walks, routines, and any special needs. I understand that every pet is different, so I give them the time, attention, and personal care they need to feel safe and comfortable.

“Yvette was amazing - treated my pup like her own and it was clear how comfortable and happy River was the whole week. Appreciated consistent photo updates as well. Will definitely book again!”

“Michelle and her family are awesome taking care of our beagle. Communication with her is fast and easy. We recommend her and would board our beagle with her again in the future!”

“Dana and Nicholas made me right at home. They let me chase squirrels and take long naps. This has been a vacation I really needed away from my humans. Brandy”

“Our dog, Riley, was so well cared for by Josh. He met us at our car for drop off and pick up bc it's tricky to get to his apartment. While Riley was there we received pictures to keep us updated. It made our evening in Philly so much better knowing she was in good hands.”

Deb S.

“Harleny was an awesome dog sitter. She took care of Ruby as if she was her own fur baby. Ruby also loved her a lot. She also shared lots of pictures and videos, which made me feel so happy and felt she was in safe hands even if we were miles away from her. Will definitely reach out to her on our next vacation.”

Sahana M.

“What a relief to find Vincent who was able to board our German Shepherd mix while we went away for almost a week. He sent us updates and we were happy our pet wasn’t alone. He was safe and got along with their beautiful lab mix-Scarlett. Thank you Vincent!”

Norma O.

“Erick was absolutely amazing with my two dogs! I have a fairly lazy dog, and a very high energy lab who just over a year old and she can be a handful! Erick sent me pictures and videos regularly, assuring me that my babies were fine. The resident dogs were super friendly, even snuggling with my two. When I picked them up they seemed like they had made themselves right at home. Erick is fabulous and wonderful people to work with! We will definitely be back.”

Jessica M.

“Erin and her whole family are so loving and took great care of Cody! Cody had so much fun and felt right at home!!! Thank you so much 💕”

Dana L.

“Kevin was great with our Aussiedoodle Kruk. Kruk is 1 years old and very high puppy energy. He kept him busy walked him 3 times a day and took amazing care of him. When we went to pick him up he was happy as can be like we never left! Couldn’t ask for more. We got daily pictures and food updates. I will definitely be using Kevin in the future.”

Alyssa S.

“Jaimie provided wonderful care to our two dogs, Penny and Hugo. She helped them to feel safe and comfortable (and got them through all the scary noises of a loud thunderstorm!) We all appreciated the regular photos and updates that Jaimie sent to us.”

Amy L.

“Awesome experience. Great communication and Benny was so well looked after. Highly recommend!”

About: In 2025 I decided to go full time and start my own pet care business. I am fully bonded & insured! I love all animals but the anxious ones are really where I shine. I will meet your pet where they’re at. I’m Canine + Feline CPR & first aid certified, I have previous experience from working in a grooming salon (not a groomer though!) and am serious about continuing education— I’ve pursued additional certifications as well as a dog training apprenticeship and continue to do so. Additionally, I run an in-home daycare for small dogs. I have an employee who helps me with this and is trained to the same standards. Please reach out with any questions. 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.
