Dog Boarding in Landing, NJ

About: I have two German Shepherds, one Belgian Malinois, one Shepsky, and this Jack Russell mix that completes this motley crew. I am a nurse who finds solace and stress relief in spending time with and caring for animals, especially dogs. I’d love to help you out with your pups if they need walks or playtime. I have cared for medically fragile dogs in the past and will follow your, or the vets, instructions as needed. I have over one acre of land for your dogs to play if they are to board in my home. I am home most of the time in the summer. If you have any questions, just ask! I’m a school nurse now, so I’m off during the summer months and holidays. I run errands sometimes during the day, or step out to walk dogs. I’m not gone for long. My schedule will change during the school year, but I will be home late afternoons and weekends. If I’m dropping in only, I’ll play with your pup and clean up any messes they’ve made or follow your instructions. If I’m taking them for a walk, I take a few minutes to get to know them if they haven’t met me before or play to say hi. Water bowls are cleaned and refilled before I leave. Big dogs subject to bloat - I let them calm down if panting after a walk before watering/feeding. If they’re in my home, they’re treated like royalty along with my pack. Introductions are done outside so that there’s no tension. Everyone is playing and the meeting is casual. I look to you for information on their personalities and care. I have an invisible fence for my dogs. If your dog is familiar and trained, I can provide a collar. I’m also experienced and trained with the e collar if that’s how your pup was trained. It will never be used as punishment.

“Aleja T. Is a great person to watch our dog, it’s a third time we left our pug with her. She provided us with pictures and updates every day. Our dog always looked happy when in Aleja care. Any one who will pick her to taking care of his/her pet will be very satisfy. Thank you Aleja! You are the best!”

About: I grew up with dogs. I’ve been around dogs my entire life. I love caring for them they’re my favorite animal. I helped my sister when her dog gave birth both times. I do this full time. I am always home. There is a dog park across the street from my house so they can run around if they would like. I have my own bowls, crates and doggy beds. I have lots lots of toys as well so your dog will always comfortable with me.

About: Hello my name is Sarah. I am a mom of 3, and have 2 pups of my own in our family. Pets have always been a big part of my life since a very young age. They are so much more than pets, they are our family members. I am currently a full-time stay at home mother with ample time to help you and your family out while you are away, at work, or your pet is in need of a companion. I know how hard it is to leave your pets/family alone while you have to take care of every day life. I can travel to and from your house to care for your pet(s) as one of my own. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate any need you might have. I will make sure your pet is very well loved and happy from the time I get there until the time I leave. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your loved fur babies.

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.

The frequent and delightful pictures sent by Lindsay allowed me to fully enjoy the day's activities, with complete peace of mind knowing that Cocoa was being well taken care of.”

“Gail did a great job with Raven. We usually are worried about whether Raven will adjust to a new sitter, but Gail quickly sent us pictures and a note letting us know how quickly she bonded with Raven and how calm she had become.”
