The Dog Stay Inn

About Me: My name is Alicia, and if there’s one thing I’m known for, it’s being an avid animal lover. I have owned, fostered, and cared for dogs my whole life and I am now fur mom to two beautiful Bernedoodles who are the light of my life. I work from home and have the time and space to play with and care for your dog(s) inside my home or out in my fenced yard. My husband loves dogs and is around to help as needed. My two dogs are super friendly and love playing with other dogs, however, I have the experience to know that not all dogs welcome all that energy. I am prepared to treat your pets as my own and would always have their best interest in mind. My goal is to provide you peace of mind while ensuring your pet feels loved, is safe, and has fun. I’m looking forward to welcoming you to The Dog Stay Inn, made possible with Rover. ***Due to homeowners insurance, I am unable to care for Pit Bulls, Rottweilers, or Dobermans.***

My beagle Sammy had a blast at Alicia’s. I received so many pictures and was comforted in knowing he was well taken care of and had so much fun with her two dogs. Will be back soon!

Look no further - Alicia is really the best and really loves dogs! My go to sitter for daycare and overnights. Her two pups are adorable and really friendly.

Alicia is the best at taking care of dogs! She truly loves animals and was really helpful with sharing tips on potty training out 4 month old golden doodle Max.

The best sitter in Rockland county! I regularly bring my fur baby to Alicia for daycare and boarding. Love her communication, attentiveness, and love for animals. Highly recommend!

Alicia is very professional and you can tell she is a dog lover. We felt very comfortable leaving our 2 huskies with her while we were on vacation. She updated us everyday with photos of our fur babies. They were very well taken care of and seemed to be very comfortable and having fun. We will definitely be using Alicia again in the future.

Let’s schedule a meet and greet! Time permitting, I always like to meet your dog prior to their stay. I am also open to last minute bookings! Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I should know about. My preference is caring for dogs who are friendly without any history with aggression. Things I want to know: - Is your dog friendly with children, people, and other dogs? - Dog breed - Dog energy level - I love to share photos of all the pets I care for on Instagram (@dogstayinn). If you prefer I do not post your pet, please let me know and I will respectfully oblige.
