Pet Boarding Hopatcong

About: I’ve cared for dogs and cats through personal and family experience, providing daily feeding, walks, playtime, and companionship. I’m very attentive to routines, hygiene, and safety, and I always make sure pets feel calm and comfortable in their own home. I’m patient, observant, and respectful of each pet’s unique personality. I treat every pet as if they were my own and keep owners updated for peace of mind. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the day. I can easily adapt to each pet’s routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and quiet rest periods. I’m reliable, punctual, and always prioritize consistency to help pets feel comfortable and secure. I take safety and trust very seriously and always follow the pet owner’s instructions carefully. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I make sure the environment stays clean, calm, and secure. I pay close attention to behavior, routines, and any changes in mood or appetite, and I communicate regularly with updates for peace of mind.

“Gail was wonderful with my dogs. They took to her easily (with my girl not so easy). She sent me daily photos which were very appreciated. Would highly recommend”

“Michele watched my dog in her home, and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. I loved all the updates and pictures she sent—it really made me feel calm knowing my dog was well taken care of. I would absolutely recommend Michele!”

About: I absolutely love caring for dogs, and I’ve been a Rover sitter for over a year now. I have a Rottweiler and a Pomeranian who are the best of friends, and we enjoy our twice-daily walks together. I’ve grown up with Rottweilers, so I know exactly how to handle big & small dogs —especially when they’re feeling anxious or need some extra TLC. I work from home 3-4 times a week and always available on weekends, so I’m always around to keep your pet company and give them the attention they deserve. Whether it’s a long walk, some playtime, or just a cozy cuddle, I’m here to make sure your dog feels loved and cared for, just like my own. I work from home 3-4 days a week, so I’m always available to give your pet the attention they need. My own dogs get two daily walks, and I make time for play and snuggles in between. Whether it’s a walk or some quality time, I’m here to ensure your pet feels loved and cared for all day. I make sure your pet feels right at home, whether they’re here with me or in your home. My place is pet-friendly, with plenty of space for play and relaxation. I keep a close eye on them, ensuring they’re safe and comfortable. At your home, I stick to your pet’s routine and follow any special instructions to keep them feeling secure and loved.

About: I’ve had a dog since I was about 5 years old. Since then I’ve dog sit for my family, and friends when they are away. I have a 10 year old dog myself so they’ll have good company! I don’t work over the weekends so I have availability to keep active. I typically go on a long walk in the afternoon and am able to take them out for bathroom breaks every 2-4 hours! I live in an apartment complex and have a dog myself! I typically feed my dog in the morning but will adhere to whatever feeding/bathroom schedule your pup is used to!

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)

“Steve and his family are amazing! They cared for our dog like he was their own and were patient with his timid personality. Absolutely recommend them to dog sit any day.”

“Marie is absolutely amazing. She took my dog in as her own. I had to go out of town last minute for two nights and she was awesome about the whole process. She kept me updated and sent pictures. I will definitely be using her again!”

Madison S.

“June did an excellent job taking care of my golden retriever Watson! She was very responsive, sent lots of pictures, and my dog looked happy throughout the visit. This was Watson's second stay with June, and I would definitely book again. Highly recommend June and her family!”

“Linus stayed with Sue and her family for 12 days over the holidays & we couldn't have been happier with her care. She texted regularly and sent photos and it was clear that Linus was getting all the love and attention he would get from us. We're thrilled with Sue & will definitely use her again.”

“Our dog Toby was treated like family. You could tell from the constant pictures received that he was having a great time. This was our second time with Karina and we will be continuing to have our dog stay with her. She does a great job.”

Dennis S.

“This was our first time leaving our dog, and Sebastian could not have been better. He was incredibly patient with our energetic pup, and shared regular updates with us throughout our time away. As first time rover users, we were a bit uneasy at the idea of leaving our pet with anyone, but we will surely be back. I highly recommend Sebastian to anyone considering using his services.”

About: Hi there! I have 10+ years of experience as a dog and cat mom, along with 5+ years as a professional dog walker and caregiver. I absolutely love animals and take so much joy in giving them a safe, loving, and enriching experience while you’re away. Your dog won’t just be “watched” here - they’ll be on their own little adventure! I live on 900 acres of beautiful land and spend my days walking, hiking, and exploring with my dogs. It’s the perfect environment for pups who love fresh air, movement, and nature. I offer care in my home and am also happy to travel to pick up your dog for your convenience. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make their time here feel like a second home 🤍 I have a very flexible schedule and work remotely from home. The combination of my flexible schedule and working from home allows me the ability to come pick up your pup if needed, and host in my home! It is important for me to spend quality time with my pets and I would provide the same love and quality time with your fur-babies! We have a fenced in yard as well as 900 acres for leashed walks as well. Safety and security are very important to me when it comes to my pets, so it would be important for your babies as well. I like to keep an active lifestyle and spend a lot of time outdoors with my dogs. Your pup(s) would absolutely be included on these outdoor adventures! My goal is for your pet to have fun, and for you to have peace of mind while you're working or away.

“Kiara was absolutely great. Very professional and kind we felt Cartman was in the best of hands. She kept us informed and sent plenty of photos throughout his stay. Highly recommend! Phil”

About: We offer loving and compassionate dog boarding or drop-ins and cat drop-ins. Dog boarding is at our home with a large, fenced-in yard and plenty of room to play and roam around. We never take more than one dog guest at a time and take extra special care of your pet while you are gone, including walks and cuddles. My husband and I have been taking care of dogs and cats a combined 30 years and have both had dogs since childhood. I lived with dogs (2 Jack Russel Terriers and a black Lab) for over 20 years and have had my own cats for the past 10 years. I know how to walk, bathe and feed. BONUS THAT REALLY SETS ME APART FROM OTHERS 😅: I am a pet intuitive and add Reiki for pets into my services if it's wanted. I am a stay-at-home mom and can care for your pets in the morning and at night 7 days a week. I am also able to do small drop-in visisg throughout the day as needed. Currently, I can only care for your pets in your home. We have play and snuggle time depending on what your pet needs, feed and clean litter boxes.

“Samantha was wonderful with Nellie! She sent updates throughout the day, gave my dog her meds and nellie settled right in! She was also very flexible with scheduling, due to an unexpected winter storm. Will 100% use Sam again to watch Nellie!”
