Home-Style Boarding & Daycare

Home-style dog boarding and daycare in The Rockaways with 13 years of experience, 500+ Rover reviews, and more than 200 repeat clients. My husband and I are home full-time, so dogs receive consistent supervision, attention, outdoor time, and plenty of opportunities to relax between play sessions. We have a fenced yard and provide a cage-free home environment unless a crate is specifically requested or appropriate for an individual dog. We have extensive experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, and energy levels, including senior dogs and pets requiring oral or injected medications. Owners receive frequent photo and video updates throughout every stay. We specialize in social dogs that enjoy being part of a carefully managed group. All new clients complete a meet & greet before their first boarding or daycare stay so we can make sure everyone is comfortable and compatible. Pickup and drop-off may be available depending on location, and we are available for many holidays.

Erica is the Best. Sitter. Ever! She took amazing care of our ball obsessed one year old Lab puppy Junie over the holidays. Truly went above and beyond expectations and had a great understanding of our dog. Loved the amazing updates and incredible videos and photos of Junie playing with her new fur friends. We are planning to rebook in February when we are away next.

I have two dogs and two cats. All are friendly and socialized with dogs. A small fenced up yard and a cage free environment. Last potty call is midnight and first potty is at 8am right before feeding time. Feeding is at 8-9am and 7-8pm.

Pets

A typical day

I usually walk everyone in the morning out in the yard before feeding. I can walk the pups around our neighborhood (if leash trained) once a day. They can come and go out in the yard whenever they need throughout the whole day. The doggy door is closed over night because i cant supervise. First potty is 8-9am, last is midnight.

Please tell me about your dog’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, medical needs, and experience around other dogs and cats. Dogs must be up to date on vaccinations and free of fleas/ticks. Please also let me know about any marking, chewing, barking, resource guarding, separation anxiety, or other behaviors that would help us prepare for a safe and comfortable stay. All breeds are welcome.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
