Homestay with a caring family

Hi! We are a dog-loving family who love taking care of dogs. My brother Kevin and I have over 8 years of experience dogsitting. Our house is a safe home away from home for your dogs. We have a fenced yard for play times. We are nestled in a quiet and safe neighborhood. Our availability is very flexible for drop-off and pick-up times. For your convenience, we're only 30 minutes away from Newark Airport. During your pet's stay, they will be cared for like our own. We have a friendly eight-year-old Siberian Husky named Winter. We are a dog-loving family, and someone will always be home with the dogs. We have soft doggy beds, or you can bring your own. We'll send daily pictures and videos for you while you're away, so you know your dog is doing well. We can't wait to enjoy your dog's company and look forward to hosting your dog!

We left our 2 dogs with Kathy and Kevin for 2 weeks, and are so pleased we did. Their whole family, including their dog Winter, looked after them very, very well. Our dogs loved the back yard they got to play in and we loved the photos and videos Kathy and Kevin sent every day. Highly recommended!!!

Kathy and Kevin are wonderful pet sitters. We received Leo's pictures everyday. And it looks like he didn't have any "Separation Anxiety" after 9 days staying with them. Highly recommend and will come back to them if need.

Absolutely amazing pet sitters who took great care of my puppy! They were very communicative, quick to respond to my texts, sent plenty of pictures of her on a daily basis, fed her well & made sure she got along well with the other dogs, had extra bedding for her and plenty of other toys she could access, They have a very nice fenced-in backyard and a park a few minutes walk away from them that they took her to. I'm very happy with Kathy and Kevin (her brother) and would highly recommend them and plan on using them in the future :)

Kathy and Kevin are wonderful pet sitters as well as a kind and thoughtful person! Cookie stayed with them for 19 days and I got multiple pictures and videos of him enjoying his stay almost everyday. Kathy and Kevin were great about communicating with so much details for Cookie's daily activities. Highly recommend and will come back with them.

I’m very happy w the care my dog received. They took lots of pictures of him and kept me updated daily. I felt like he was getting plenty of love and playtime. Plus my dog had winter to keep him company. I would definitely use them again.

Thank you Kevin and Kathy for taking care of Pepper for nearly 3 weeks. Your daily picture updates made us comfortable that Pepper is safe and doing good. I would definitely board him again in the future.

A typical day

We have a fenced yard for your dog to run around and play in. Your dog will have a friendly playmate, your doggy host, Winter the Siberian Husky. We will sometimes visit the dog park. In the evenings, we'll watch TV together and give everyone lots of pets and cuddles. Bring your dog bed, but if you don't have one, we have doggy mattresses so your baby can get their beauty sleep.
