Pet care experience

Here to love your dog ❤️

I have 7 years experience taking care of my own 80 lb Greyhound, Chloe. Unfortunately, we lost her to bone cancer a few years ago. We have 2 kids who absolutely love dogs and we're ready to love a few more pets! We only care for one dog at a time so your pup can get all the attention they deserve! Since we watch one dog at a time, you won't need to worry about your dog being around any other unfamiliar dogs during the stay. We are located 36 minutes from Newark Airport. Your dog will be in the best care while you are away! With someone home 24 hours a day, your dog will never be alone. While I do have a fenced in yard, I still believe walks are important for every dog. Boarding and doggy daycare options are available during the week and throughout the weekend. Medication administration is also available for your dog.

We are so grateful to Dana and Nicholas for taking such wonderful care of our dog, Lacey, for the week. From the very start, they made us feel completely at ease. They went above and beyond by sending daily updates along with pictures, which reassured us that Lacey was happy, safe, and well loved while we were away. It was clear that they treated her as part of their family. Lacey came home healthy, content, and clearly well cared for. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend Dana and Nicholas to anyone looking for reliable, caring, and attentive pet sitters. We will definitely trust them again with Lacey in the future!

Dana, Nicholas and their two sweet daughters were the perfect fit for my dog Lady to stay with while I was away. They are kind, responsible, and very caring. Lady loved their backyard too! Will definitely have her stay with them again :)

We could not be happier with Dana and Nicholas’s care of our buddy. They wanted to know every detail about his likes and dislikes so he would be happy during his stay. Their backyard is so perfect for dog sitting! They sent updates twice a day with pictures. So great! We did not worry one bit while we were away. We didn’t want buddy to have to navigate other dogs while we were away (which he is not used to), so the fact that they only care for one dog at a time was what we were looking for. We highly recommend them for your pooch. Their love for dogs showed in the way they cared for our little guy! We are so grateful.

Dana and Nicholas made me right at home. They let me chase squirrels and take long naps. This has been a vacation I really needed away from my humans. Brandy

Doggy Day Care • Jul 31, 2024

Dana, Nicholas, and their girls were absolutely wonderful hosts to our little girl Kirbie! This was her first visit but will not be her last! We received pictures, updates and Kirbie was kept busy with walks and playtime inside and outside. She must have had a great time because she came home exhausted and almost immediately took a nap.

Jersey had an outstanding stay with Dana and Nick, he loved their fenced in backyard and being around their young children. I loved that they were easy to communicate with, sent pictures and updates of how Jersey was doing during the stay and very easy to work with. Highly recommend!

My husband and I work opposite schedules. I'm currently working part-time, but my husband is home when I'm at work, so your pup will be cared for around the clock! Boarding and doggy daycare are available daily.

I have a fenced in yard for pups to run around. I can also crate your dog at night or when specified. I can care for your pup however you see fit, including following specific feeding schedules or medication schedules.

A typical day

We would love to play with your dog in the backyard, go for walks, or even go to the local park in our neighborhood! I'm an avid runner and would absolutely love taking any high energy pups along with me on runs.
