Information Marilyn B. would like to know about your pet

Before your dog’s stay, I’d love to learn all about them! Please tell me about their personality, daily routine, energy level, mobility, favorite activities, likes and dislikes, and any special habits or quirks. It’s also helpful to know about any fears, anxiety, reactivity, resource guarding, chewing or destructive behaviors, medical needs, or anything else that will help me provide the safest, most comfortable, and personalized care possible.

A typical day

A typical day starts with a potty break and a morning walk, followed by time to relax, play, and enjoy plenty of one-on-one attention in our calm, cozy home. Throughout the day, we’ll head out for walks to nearby Thomas Jefferson Park or along the Bobby Wagner Walk on the East River, giving your pup fresh air, exercise, and lots of interesting sights and smells. Every dog’s routine is different, so we’ll match your pup’s energy level and preferences, whether they enjoy longer walks, playtime, or simply lounging in a sunny spot. On warm days, we schedule walks during the cooler hours, stay in the shade whenever possible, and always make sure fresh water is available. By the end of the day, your dog will have enjoyed a balance of activity, companionship, and relaxation, all while feeling safe, comfortable, and right at home. 🐾

VIP Care for your Pup

Pet care experience

Hi there! We’re Marilyn and Haley, a mother-daughter team who truly love dogs. Our home is a calm, cozy retreat where your pup will receive plenty of one-on-one attention and feel like part of the family. To ensure every dog gets personalized care, we host a maximum of 2 to 3 dogs at a time, creating a relaxed, low-stress environment. We’re just steps from Thomas Jefferson Park and the Bobby Wagner Walk along the East River, offering beautiful places for walks, fresh air, and exercise. We have extensive experience caring for senior dogs and understand the extra patience, comfort, and attention they often need. Whether your pup loves to play or prefers a slower pace with plenty of cuddles, we’ll tailor their stay to fit their personality and routine. During every daycare visit or overnight stay, you’ll receive regular updates and photos, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. Your dog won’t just be staying with us, they’ll be welcomed as part of our family. We can’t wait to meet you and your pup! 🐾💛
