Your dog's home away from home!

Hi, My name is Kelsey! I first started offering daycare and boarding, as well as dog walking, with Rover about 6 years ago when I was living in Virginia with my dog Scotch. I continued to offer daycare and boarding in our home when we moved back to NJ in 2021, but took a break in Scotch's last year with us. I rescued our current dog, Rusty, in 2023 and have been enjoying many doggy playdates in our backyard with Rusty and friends of his. I am so excited to start offering daycare and boarding again in our home! In addition to having Rusty, my husband and I also have 2 kids ages 4.5 and 2.5. Rusty absolutely LOVES his siblings and it is essential that any dog we watch is also very kid friendly as well. We live in a one story home with a fenced in acre of property for doggies to run around in. We also love going for long walks in the neighborhood. I am a stay at home mom and yoga teacher, so I can be super flexible in scheduling daycare and boarding dates, including pick up and drop off times! I understand more than ever the feeling of trying to find the right home for your doggy while you are away. I hope that we can be that home for you!! We do require one meet and greet prior to boarding your dog for daycare or overnight visits. So sorry for any inconvenience but hope you understand the importance of making sure it’s a good fit for all!

Kelsey looked after our pup, Otis, for a week and we highly recommend her! She sent pics and videos throughout the week and prior to Otis’s stay she had a meet n greet with him where she learned all about him and made sure there were no issues with her own pup. We had peace of mind knowing he was in good hands and will definitely be using her services in the future!

Kelsey was an amazing dog sitter for our Boston Terrier, Tank. We left our dog with Kelsey for 2 weeks and she sent us pictures daily and was super communicative. She has a great large backyard which our dog loved. I would highly recommend using Kelsey!

Kelsey was so sweet with Jack and accommodating to watch him while I had to go away. She shared pictures, I was kept up to date and really appreciated how kind she was with jack and all the love he got from her! We will definitely be booking with Kelsey again!!
