TOY BREEDS 15 POUNDS AND UNDER

Pet care experience

CHECK OUT MY GALLERY OF HAPPY POOCHES! I AM LOCATED IN BOONTON TOWNSHIP, NJ. DAYCARE and BOARDING: Our home, located in Boonton Township, is ideal for your pooches that are 15 pounds and under. I specialize in toy breeds and for safety of all the dogs that stay, I am adamant about the size. We have a beautiful yard with a 6 foot high privacy fence for your dog to run, play and enjoy. Or they can simply relax in the comfort of our lovely home. I have a small Maltese, Lola, who is very friendly and well behaved and she loves to have company and make new friends. Communication is key. When your fur baby is under my wing, I always provide daily updates so you can be kept in the loop and will of course include tons of great pics so you can see just how much fun we’re having together! PLEASE NOTE: Boarding fee's will be adjusted depending on drop off/pick up time. If you drop off your dog at 9am for an overnight, you have til 9am the following day to pick up your pooch. If you drop off at 6pm, you must pick up by 6pm the following day etc.... or applicable fees will apply. Early pick ups do not receive a discount, Rover fees are based on 24 hour minimum fee for boarding. NON aggressive, neutered/spayed, well behaved, clean and house broken dogs are most welcome. If your dog is a HABITUAL BARKER, I simply can not accept them out of respect for my neighbors in my quiet neighborhood. Also, If you are bringing your own dog bed/blankets, kindly clean them before bringing to my home. Getting married or hosting an event you’d like your pooch to attend? Ask me about my Pet Attendant services for your special day! Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction and I look forward to caring for your pooch at our home in BOONTON TOWNSHIP, NJ.

Awesome, 5 start while glove service!! I cannot say enough good things about Dawn. I had to resort to Rover recently and for the first time due to a last minute trip. I was very hesitant and worried to leave my pomeranian with a stranger as she is very attached to me, is a picky eater and is a bit shy. All of these feelings completely vanished from the moment I left my dog. Dawn sent me pictures a few minutes after I left of my dog and assured me she was fine and made herself at home quickly. Dawn communicated with me for the 4 days I was away, sharing funning pictures and sending me cute messages. She actually had a small dog new years eve party for the dogs! She went above and beyond, I have never met anyone who is so detailed oriented when it comes to the care of my dog. Dawn took her time to understand and what my dog likes, her behavior and her meals, she spent quality time playing with my dog. Her home is setup wonderfully for the dogs with gates in place, toys and a great window views. I feel totally blessed to have found Dawn and totally recommend her to anyone that has a small dog and is nervous about trusting a stranger. Thank you so much Dawn for all the love and care you gave to Madi!!

I wish I could give Dawn more than 5 stars! She was amazing! She treats each dog that she watches as if they were her own. She is SO accommodating and her home is set up to provide the dogs with a fun, safe, stimulating, yet also relaxing environment. She genuinely cares for each and every pet she watches and also keeps the owners very informed with GREAT photos and updates along the way. The dogs are kept active and she has many options (various gated areas for group or individual, lots of toys, etc) to tailor toward all different dog personalities and temperaments. Her home is clean and well cared for and she makes sure each dog has whatever they need to be comfortable while away from their family. She's the best!

Dawn is the best!! She knows what she is doing and she has nothing but love for dogs. This was the first time my dog stayed with her and my dog was very relaxed and happy ? ⭐️ ?

This was our dog's first time away from us. Dawn went above & beyond to ensure that Zoey & Belle felt right at home and to keep us updated on how they were doing. Her pics & comments were priceless. Dawn is attuned to the individual needs & likes of her furry guests. She is a true animal lover!

Information Dawn S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know your pets social temperament with other dogs, accident frequency and overall health, and any anxieties the dog is prone to experience. Once again, I will reiterate that I can not watch habitual barkers.

A typical day

We have the advantage of having a gigantic fenced in yard for your pooch to run around and play and I NEVER leave any pet unsupervised outside. I am always there supervising and engaging in play if they so desire. When it’s hot outside or they simply want to relax inside, our home is comfortably air conditioned or heated. I allow dogs to relax anywhere they so desire, including the couch. I have oodles of toys they can play with and it’s not uncommon for dogs to play chase, tug-o-war or just snuggle up with me or each other.
