Doggy Day Care in Lake Hopatcong

“Alondra was fantastic!! She sent us a pic of Lucy getting along with her dog. When we picked her up she was very informative about her activities, bathroom breaks, food and naps for the day!!! It was very calming and relieving! I would totally recommend Alondra and if we are ever in Seattle again we will TOTALLY use her again!!!”

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 :)

“Another great day at Vivian's. She took him on short notice and he barely gave me a look back when he went in. Milo loves it at Vivian’s house!”

“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”

“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.”

“Aleja was absolutely wonderful with Gus! From the moment we connected, she was kind, gentle, and clearly cared about making sure he was comfortable and happy. She kept us updated throughout, which gave us real peace of mind while we were away. It’s not always easy leaving your dog with someone new, but Aleja made the whole experience stress-free. We came home to a very happy pup! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter.”

“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!!”

“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!!!”

“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!”

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.

“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: 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 will provide one on one attention with your dog. Your dog will be cared for and loved. I owed multiple dogs and I have experience training puppies. I currently work from home and I have a flexible schedule to take your dogs on walks and having play time. I have open availability during the week. I have a very friendly cavapoo dog who loves to play with other dogs. I live in an apartment with an open backyard for the dog play and run around. I also have a dog park in my community.

“Jonathan was terrific to work with. He made Gus feel welcome and at ease right away. He communicated well and made us feel at ease leaving Gus. I would easily recommend him to anyone!”

About: We’ve taken care of cats and dogs since we were younger. Lucy has grown with pets all her life. We have cats who are independent and a lab puppy they’re all very friendly. We love both dogs and cats! We have a home with a fenced yard. We have small children who are also gentle and have had pets around since they were born. We’d love to watch your pets! We can send pictures, have potty breaks often, go to dog parks, accommodate to your pets needs. :) Lucy is at home throughout the day so she will be mostly watching your pet during their stay. Hopefully your pup or cat is okay to be alone for 1-3 hours while I’m out running errands on some days. Our home has a baby gate that separates our rooms and bathrooms from rest of the home, our cats are most of the time in our room area. All pets are allowed everywhere, but will mostly be in the living room/kitchen area. You are more than welcome to come see the house before deciding to leave them with us. :)

“Luciana watched our dog Zelda for us the night we got married. She picked her up from our venue and dropped her back off at the end of the night. It was truly a hectic day for us and she was flexible with our timing. We were grateful to have someone help us out on this important day. Would hire her again if we lived in the area!”
