Doggy Day Care in Malden-on-Hudson

“Panda had a wonderful time in Nicole’s welcoming home filled with dogs, kids and oh so much love. We’ll definitely be back.”

Marian F.

“Our dog had a wonderful evening with Rosalie. She has a lovely, fenced in back yard and a room with dog toys. She has lots of experience as well.”

Margie S.

“This was his second visit, he did well. Nicole sent me pics and updates on how he was doing. ( He’s clingy and a mama’s boy lol ). I'm so grateful that we found Nicole. I truly believe he will come out of his shell. I believe he will blossom with her as time goes on.”

“Jane is wonderful! She went out of her way to help us when we had some issues with the app and with scheduling. She was clear and kind with our dog who can sometimes be a little anxious. Our pup felt right at home as soon as she walked into Jane’s house and was happily exhausted by the end of the day. Thank you, Jane! We will be back soon!”

Amanda Y.

“Amanda was an amazing sitter for our dog Honey! She was thoughtful, communicative, flexible on timing, and Honey seemed so happy and calm when we picked her up. I couldn’t recommend her more!”

Elisabeth G.

“Great experience of doggy day care. Eleanor met us and our dog prior to the doggy day care visit. She has a calm demeanor. She sent photos throughout the day to show us our dog was content - what more can one ask for? Thank you Eleanor.”

About: My own dogs are always the #1 teacher. They show me how to best care for them - with food, play, training, medications, travel, sleepless days and nights when they've been ill, and giving them all them comfort I can. I've volunteered at dog shelters, spent hours walking dogs in all kinds of weather, and offered comfort to friends who've had to say goodbye to their best fur friends. I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule that allows me to give your pets plenty of attention - playing, feeding, and scratching behind the ears. I take my dog for swims in the river, off leash romps in the woods, and leashed walks around town. We also play fetch and tug-of-war in the house or on the deck. If your dog needs a playmate, my dog, Jackson, may be a good fit. My cats - depending on their mood - like to lounge in the sun, pounce on the occasional toy, run up stairs, and hunt for treats I've hidden for them.

“Lauren graciously accepted our last minute request for our dog. Her love for animals is apparent when you communicate with her, and she was super accommodating. We highly recommend her!”

“Brody had a great time meeting Alison and Jack. It was calm and clean when we got there. Brody was only there for a meet and greet (2.5 hrs). When I got back he was really happy to see me!”

Charles E.

“Bob was wonderful! We have a very active and young golden doodle who spent the day with Bob while we skied at Windham Mountain for a week in February. Bob was extremely kind and professional and I would recommend without hesitation.”

Denise E.

“Teddy had an amazing time”

Rodney W.

“Romy was happy staying with Suzanne. Suzanne was very accommodating due to heat wave and kept Romy inside and cool. Would definitely use her again when we are in the area.”

Annabelle S.

“Nardia took great care of Lu. Very nice person, responsible, mature, great communication. Thank you so much!”

Alan Z.

“I feel so lucky to have Gabe!!!”

Lindsay P.

“Communication with Amy and Chris was smooth and easy. They're both very caring, and Boo had a good day with Chris. I will say that given Boo's energy level -- he's a hunting-dog mutt who loves to run --he's probably better off where there's a fenced yard or an opportunity for long walks...but this is no reflection on Amy and Chris. It was our choice to give them a try.”

Peter W.

“Outstanding care - would recommend. She listened about temperament and his need to get out for a walk. Very fortunate to find a responsible dog sitter. Thank you”

Jean C.

“Trish did a wonderful job looking after our dog Mickey; they got on great and he barely wanted to leave when we came to collect him! Highly recommended.”

Conor C.

“This was for a meet and greet with my dog Rumor. Christine and her Mom seemed like lovely ladies who are around through the day to care for their guest dogs. We will strongly consider Christine for Daycare and Boarding in the future.”

Christy W.

“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”

About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.
