Safety, trust & environment

SAFETY, TRUST & ENVIRONMENT Located in BOONTON TOWNSHIP, NJ, we have a fenced in very large yard and one small dog, Lola, who is a Maltese. Your dog is welcome to play play play. When your pooch is outside, I am also outside too, I never leave them unattended.

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.

CHECK OUT MY GALLERY OF HAPPY POOCHES! 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 dogs, 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!

Dawn was great! It was our first time having our pup boarded and she couldn’t have been in better hands than with Dawn. Her yard and toy collection is every dog’s dream. She was very responsive and sent lots of pictures which was so nice to have. Totally recommend!

Dawn and Lola welcomed Pebbles with such kindness. Dawn was so pleasant and concerning to Pebbles needs. Pebbles has separation anxiety and Dawn comforted her while I was leaving. The many photos I received made me feel so comfortable that Pebbles was having a great time and in great hands!😊.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dawn and her husband! They treated my dog like a part of their family from the minute we met and went on to make sure that she felt right at home! I needed a sitter last minute and they stepped in without hesitation. Each and every day, Dawn sent me multiple pictures and videos which gave me so much peace of mind! Their care, attention, and love for my dog was evident in everything they did. I highly, highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, compassionate and amazing dog sitters!!
