Doggy Day Care in Hopatcong Hills

About: I have been taking care of pets since my first own pet, at around age five. Since then, my love for animals just grew and I can’t see my life without being around furry friends. I’ve been always helping family and friends to watch their pets when they are away for vacation so, I will love to host your pet in their new home away from home. I am a stay at home mom, so between the daily routine , I’ll have plenty of time to give your pet attention, love and playtime. I care for pets with love and respect. I always follow owners instructions and do my best to understand pet’s needs. I love to play with the pets and give them some love.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.

“They were warm and welcoming from the beginning. Emma seemed comfortable wandering around their home and being with them. They saved me just by being available on Thanksgiving! I would definitely use them again!!”

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.

“Giselle took such a nice care of our dog Cookie! Her backyard being fully fenced, Cookie could play with Giselle's dog Ella in the backyard. We got video, picture and update about Cookie. The drop off and pick up were very easy. We would highly recommend her.”

About: I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other pets my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 15 years. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and of course cuddling your fur members of the family. If there are other tasks you need done around the house when I’m pet sitting, don’t hesitate to ask, chances are I am more then happy to do it. I am off Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Fridays I am off at 2:30 and can accept clients after 3:00. I am available for last minute visits. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is always around. PLEASE READ! For boarding at my house I typically like to meet the dogs prior to accepting booking. I have two dogs of my own, a large mix breed ( male) and a medium mix breed ( girl). My dogs have always been around other dogs. During your pets stay at my house they will have access to a fully fenced in yard, free range of house and endless love ! I do request your pets to have flea and tick prevention and be up to date with vaccines. My propety is surrounded by woods and wildlife so I like to be cautious. I feed the dogs I’m boarding in a separate room, and have ample toys for different stimulation. I can send daily updates and pictures. My house also has cameras inside and out to watch when I step out.

About: My family and I are animal lovers! We have one dog of our own who we love and care for and she LOVES to play with other doggie friends! I have dog sat for about 15+ years for personal friends and family as well as many dogs here on Rover. All of our children love dogs and we create a loving and caring family environment. We have a large backyard in a family oriented town. Our yard is not fenced, but there is plenty of room for dogs we watch to run around and play. My children take part in caring for the dogs we sit and like to give them lots of extra hugs and love. We also enjoy going on lots of walks! We can’t wait to give your dog a warm, friendly home away from home! I am work from home, so I am available to be present for your dog. He/she will have someone around almost at all times. If we have to run out for anything, if your dog does not chew and is trained, he/she can have run of our home. We have one very friendly dog to keep yours company. I have plenty of room in the house for a crate if necessary. If medications are necessary, I am able to administer that. Our yard is not fenced, however we have a long lead where he/she can have plenty of room to run around. Our family will be present at all times when your dog is outside.

About: I'm an AVID dog lover! Since my childhood, I've been called upon by neighbors to care for their dogs. I currently have my 8th (Kona) and 9th (Kali) dog in my home. At multiple times during my life, I've was a dog owner to 3 dogs at one time. I recently gave up my teaching career to do this full time, after only doing it during the summers. I have a spacious home with radiant floor heat for cold nights, and central air for hot days and a very large fenced in yard, all in a quiet neighborhood. As a teacher who just left the education field, I am home committing myself to dog care/boarding after just doing it during the summers. I also work on my home based travel business. My yard is grassy and comfortable for lounging in the sun or running around to play. Plenty of dog friendly space indoors, too! Crate available as needed.

“David was amazing. We had a last minute outing planned that wasn't pup friendly. The night before David responded within minutes and offered to help out for a full 12 hours. It was the first time we were leaving our pup with anyone and he graciously agreed to meeting him the same night. The day of David sent updates without any request and was understand with pick up time (we we're a little late due to some traffic). Our pup was happy and well taken care of.”

“Kathleen is an Amazing person and she took great care of our dog, Ozark! She is very calm and comforting and made our dog feel right at home. She has a great backyard for the dogs to run and her dogs Bella and Sasha are very sweet. We look forward to booking with her again!!!”

Rochelle S.

“We were in town while traveling and needed someone to watch our dog while we visited New York City. Ruby loved visiting with Marisol and her family! She took excellent care of her! We knew Ruby had fun because she was so excited to go back the second day! If we are ever in the area again, I would definitely call Marisol!”

Melody G.

“This was the first time we used Rover so we were nervous to leave Smoke with a stranger. We were blown away by how well the day care went and will definitely be returning to June in the future. She set up a meet and greet which calmed our nerves and sent a nice compilation of photos and videos throughout the day. Smoke was playing and running and having a blast in every single one. She has a nice fenced in back yard for them to burn some energy and he slept the entire night when we got home. I would 10/10 recommend June to watch your fur babies! Not to mention, she is also extremely responsive and accommodating. Thank you so much!”

About: **currently not offering boarding. Drop in visits and dog walking only I love dogs ! I’ve always grown up with dogs and adopted my own once I moved into my house 7 years ago. We lost our beloved 17 year old shih tzu in 2020 and since have adopted a fun loving 11 year old husky named Skylar! I have dog walked and house sat for others since I was in high school and have experience with young and old dogs . Neighbors , friends/family have also relied on me to help out when they need someone to care for their dog. I am willing and capable to administer medication if needed. I quit my full time teaching job to pursue a more flexible work schedule to be home more. I nanny part time and I am home most hours of the day. My husband is also home 3 days of the week given his first responder schedule . I have a completely fenced in back yard and we are extremely cautious when it comes to leaving our home / coming inside. We rarely use our front door and go out/in through our garage making sure to close the door before opening ! I am looking to board dogs primarily in my home if it’s over night . Our house is split leveled and although another dog is welcome in the entire house, having the split level is a nice option if the dog needs to be separated . If we do need to leave the house I would separate both my dog and the boarded dog to be safe. We have dog gates to separate the top /bottom level of our home. I prefer that all puppies are crate trained . We do have a crate . I work from home part time am always home or around town! My husband and I always make sure to give a good long walk to our dog each day and love to bring another pup along. I have a large fenced in yard which makes for a great space for your dog to run around and play/use the bathroom! My house is a split level so your dog will have its own area downstairs so I can separate my dog and yours during bedtime and if I run our of the house. I also am able to provide a crate for dogs who are crate trained.

About: I've taken care and groomed animals from the most sensitive ones to the most angriest ones and have never failed to get the job done. Parents love my dedication and passion towards animals. I am currently going to school part time in the mornings specifically so I have a lot of free time to take out or take care of your pets! I make sure I'm always attentive with your pets needs so they never get bored and are in a safe place and have two cats that would love to pay with your pet and cuddle.

About: Dogs have been part of our family ever since we were little. I couldn't imagine our home without the dogs that have been part of our lives growing up. My parents have always been heavily involved in animal rescue and volunteer/run a shelter near their home. Every pet has their own personality, their own story to tell - and we just love to be a part of their lives. We work from home so we're always here to take the pooches in the yard or for a nice walk at the large park right next-door to our home so there's plenty of space for them to get out and play. We have a fenced in yard, so your pup can enjoy being outside with a little bit of freedom. We have a crate, should you need it and also a puppy pen for those little guys that might not be fully house-trained yet. Our kids love to play with the dogs outside, so you can count on extra love and plenty of fun. Our pup, Haley, passed this winter after 14 wonderful year of being a part of our family and we'll be sure to treat your dog like they are as well. My husband works from home, so he is always here to play & let the dogs out and loves the extra company here in his office. We have a nice big fenced in yard, so plenty of space to run around or just enjoy the sunshine for a bit. We're also right next to a nice park, perfect for our walks. We have extra dog beds and plenty of toys because we always want the pooches to be comfy and have lots of fun.

About: What sets me apart is my extensive experience and genuine love for animals. I owned a dog for 12 years, have had two cats for 5 years, and have fostered multiple cats with various behavioral challenges. I've also cared for my family's dogs and cats throughout the years. This hands-on experience has made me adaptable to different pet personalities and needs, from training puppies to caring for senior pets. I treat every animal with the same love and dedication I give to my own. Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I’ve built my schedule around feeding, playtime, grooming, and exercise to ensure each pet gets the attention they need. Years of experience with my own and my family's pets have made caring for animals a seamless and fulfilling part of my life. In both my home and clients' homes, I provide comprehensive pet care tailored to each animal's needs: regular exercise, feeding and medication, playtime and enrichment, cuddles and affection, safety and security, and personalized attention. I ensure a seamless transition and continuity of care, prioritizing the well-being and comfort of pets in any setting.
