Doggy Day Care in Medford Lakes

“I had a wonderful experience with John! He took great care of my dog, sending pictures and updates which was so appreciated. My dog was happy and well-cared for, which gave me peace of mind. I would definitely recommend John.”

About: I have taken care of animals all my life. I grew up with small pocket pets (rabbits) and birds. As an adult I have dogs, cats, chickens, horses, and alpacas - all of which live with me on my small farm. I have experience with giant breed dogs and higher energy dogs. I also know how and am comfortable giving medications. I have worked in the animal industry for the last 10 years. Ranging from boarding facilities for dogs and cats to veterinary offices. I also am currently volunteering with my therapy dog and we visit hospitals and schools. I’m currently a stay-at-home mom so my pets are with me all day. I take the dogs out for daily walks as well as other activities. I also have a large fenced in backyard for them to play in. I have a 1-acre fenced in yard for my babies (and yours!) to play in. All of my dogs are friendly and love to play with new friends. I also have cats (strictly indoor), horses, alpacas, and chickens on the property. New friends must be good with all animals as well as children if they are staying in the house. Children and other pets will never be left unsupervised with your fur baby. If I come to your home for care for your fur baby they will be spoiled with lots of attention and love

“We are beyond grateful to have found Kristen to care for our beagle, Annie! She had an incredible week filled with fun, and absolutely loved playing with Piper all week. We can’t recommend Kristen highly enough!”

About: I love caring for dogs in our home and treating them like they are a part of our family! Your dog will get plenty of attention and snuggles. Your dog will rarely be left alone as I am home almost all the time and if I am not, my family (all adults) helps care for the pets too. I have experience with senior dogs and those with anxiety. We have a fenced in yard and I also love to take dogs for walks in our quiet neighborhood. Please note that we have one cat in the house and we recently adopted a puppy. The puppy is a shiba inu-shepard mix. As of May, she will be 6 months old. I took a break from boarding but just had our first house guests recently and it went well. Winnie is a little scared of other pups at first but then wants to play. We would do a meet and greet to have the dogs meet before you booked to make sure you and your pup are comfortable. I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality. I am interested in pursuing a future career working with pets. Your dog will be loved and treated like part of the family while staying with us. I have plenty of availability and flexibility in my schedule. For boarding, I am home all the time but in the chance that I am out, my family (all adults) is usually home. So your pet will rarely be alone. I am offering overnight boarding in my home. We are a family of 4 adult so there is almost always someone home. We do have a cat and a 6 month old puppy. We have a fenced in yard for your dog to run, but I will also take them for walks around the neighborhood.

“Catalina is so sweet and took such good care of my dog Marty!”

About: What sets me apart is my flexibility from working at home, my experience with both dogs and cats, and my comfort caring for senior pets, including administering oral medications. I’m reliable, attentive, and always prioritize each pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. Pet care fits easily into my routine since I work from home. I schedule early morning and afternoon/evening visits, and I’m home throughout the day to provide attentive boarding and day care for dogs in a calm, safe environment. I care for pets by maintaining their normal routines and giving them plenty of attention, exercise, and affection. In my home, dogs enjoy a quiet neighborhood for walks and a fenced-in backyard for safe play and bathroom breaks. In clients’ homes, I’m respectful, detail-oriented, and focused on keeping pets comfortable, calm, and well cared for.

“This was my first Rover experience and Vanessa was amazing with my little guy. Her home is super dog friendly and I loved how she communicated often, sharing pictures and details of what he was doing so I knew he was having a good time. Made me feel less anxious about leaving him.”

“Stephanie was great! We used her at the last minute and we are super grateful that she was available. She messaged updates often and sent plenty of pictures. We will definitely use her again!”

About: Hey there! Are you looking for a trustworthy and reliable person to help care for your beloved companion(s)? (Of course you are, thats why we're here!) My current work leaves me with some time I love to fill with animals. I'm a remote worker central to Medford Village, which means I'm often available for last minute services. I grew up on a farm with lots of animals and know more than the average bear about dog behavior. I can recognize when a canine is uncomfortable and needs extra patience or anxious and needs an outlet. I have 3 years experience teaching basic obediance on top of that. If you need a consistent walker, I can teach your dog basic walking etiquette during our walks too. I have my own dog who is extremly friendly and availiable for visits, if you would like a playmate for your pup. He's a jobial, 30lb Beagle/lab mix and up to date on all shots. No extra charge, just let me know you'd like to meet Chester too! We used to work with rescued fighting pitbulls and Chester was the dog used for socalizing. Hes very non-reactive and perfect for socalizing puppies or reactive dogs. I look to provide a simulating experience for your pet and a transparent one for you. I send lots of pics and communicate often. I look forward to connecting to see if were a good fit. I am a remote worker with a fluctuating schedule. I am able to provide last minute and consistent services to my neighbors close by M-F, weekends vary. When in your home, I always make sure everything is locked up before I leave and let you know if I see something out of sorts. When in my home, I have a bonus room set up for dogs, as well as a gated patio they can enjoy.

“Yesenia was amazing with our 4 month old puppy. We needed someone to look after our dog for the day and she was very kind and accommodating. She sent photo and video updates and was very communicative. I will certainly be using Yesenia’s services again.”

“Jennifer was great! She took our dog on such short notice and was extremely quick with all of her replys. My pup was so tired when I picked her up, from playing and going on walks. We will definitely be coming back to Jennifer.”

“Brian was great! Super flexible with my odd work hours. Finn was very nervous as Brian was his first sitter, but he ended leaving with a wagging tail! Loved the photo updates as well!”

About: I’m a lifelong dog lover offering calm, attentive care in a comfortable, dog-friendly home. I live in a private residence with a fully fenced yard and host one dog at a time. I will accommodate 2 dogs from the same household. I’m a responsible, professional pet sitter with years of experience caring for dogs. To maintain a peaceful and safe environment, I’m best suited for calm, trained dogs who are comfortable around people and other dogs, so everyone can enjoy a relaxed and happy stay. I work from home with a flexible schedule. My schedule can be modified to accommodate my clients needs. I love walking dogs for daily exercise I have a fenced yard so your dog will be safe going outside. I am trustworthy and dependable. I value privacy, and I always respect other peoples space.

“Jennifer was great and our boys loved their time with her!”

“Leah is amazing at what she does and my dog was incredibly comfortable at her new daycare! She knows when we are nearing Leah’s home and she starts to get super excited!”

“Tom's place is awesome!! I work at the nearby military instillation and I was using Tom's daycare services. He was open to a meet and greet the day before I was supposed to drop off my pet which was from 7am-5pm, and he met Ollie and then showed us around a bit which made me feel much better knowing my dog was going to be kept in such clean and organized conditions. You can clearly tell how well Tom takes care of his own dogs. Everyday I used his service I could tell my dog had a great time and got to experience what walking in a pack was like. He came home exhausted each day and Tom sent great pictures and videos which made me feel better. As Tom states in his bio, if your dog is crate trained, good with other dogs and has a daily routine this is the place for you! Your dogs will love their experience at Tom's Place!”

“I have a lazy 8 month old Labradane that I've never left with anyone before that isn't me or my fiancé. He's a very sensitive stomach little boy and his health is so important as he's in training to become my service dog so I wasn't going to leave him with just anyone. I contacted Brijana and set up a meet and greet. Once I met her I wasn't even worried. Her and her boyfriend were so sweet and asked great questions to get to know my boy, he instantly loved them too. First day with her and I felt bad having to go pick hemingway up because he was having so much fun!!! She was very informative, timely, professional, and just extremely welcoming. Cannot wait for his next stay and I highly recommend her. She's knowledgeable and pairs all of her animals accordingly!”

About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.

“Brette was phenomenal with our dog Kida. Kida is a bit anxious but Brette and her family were able to give her a ton of love and attention and by the end of the day Kida had befriended the entire family and all their pets. Brette and her family were considerate toward what made Kida comfortable and allowed her to adjust at her own comfort. I can’t recommend Brette enough, 10/10 will book again.”
