Monica and Kelvin were great to work with. They sent photos and updates of my dogs for the few days they had them. When I picked my boys up they seemed well taken care of, clean and happy.

Great first experience. They were accommodating when I needed drop off/pick up time shift. Took in my new puppy- not house trained, didn’t know if he’d cry at night or his personality. The sent me update’s and pictures. Also able to give me pointers on puppy care. They were wonderful!

Monica and Kelvin took great care of Oliver for several nights. They were professional and attentive to Oliver’s needs and were super easy to communicate with. I felt at ease going out of town knowing that Oliver was being well cared for.

Information Monica & Kelvin G. would like to know about your pet

⭐️MEET AND GREETS⭐️ Meet and greets prior to your dogs stay/walk/visit are up to your discretion but are absolutely NOT mandatory. As long as your dog is friendly, we will get along just fine! However, we understand that every pup is different and some may need some extra time to warm up to new humans! We are happy to come to your home to meet you and your pup, or you can come to our home, and we will meet and greet in our backyard! Please let us know if your dog has any specific feeding/walking or medication schedule. We will be sure to keep them on their usual routines and give them the individualized attention that they need and deserve! ❤️❤️

A typical day

We live in a house, so your dog will have full range of our home unless there is any reason that you don’t want them climbing stairs, etc. we do have gates blocking off our stairs incase of dogs with any physical limitations. We work from home, so will be home all day with your pup! We do have a fenced in backyard that we use for exercising and playing with your pup, but we still take them on leashed bathroom break walks around our block/neighborhood to conserve our grass ? ?. Your dog will always be supervised by us while in our yard and will never be left unattended. Please let us know what kind of walks your dogs prefer upon booking (long walks, short walks, duration, etc.) ⭐️ ACCOMMODATIONS⭐️ - Crates: Your dog will never be placed in a crate unless you provide or request a crate, and you request that they are placed in a crate -Couch/Bed Access: Your dog is welcome on our couch and bed, however if you do NOT allow this at home, we will ensure to not allow your dog to do it at our home. If possible, it’s always a great idea to bring your dog’s bed or blanket from home so they have a familiar scent and setting while they’re staying with us! We allow guest pups to sleep in our bedrooms if that’s where they feel most comfortable! Happy to provide bedtime cuddles so that they feel the most at home!! -Gates: Our home is equipped with dog gates on every bedroom door and stairs. This allows us the flexibility to keep your dog separate from ours when eating/sleeping, etc. if that’s what you would prefer! - Walks: Due to us both working from home, we have the flexibility to walk your dog and play with them as much as needed! Please let us know of your dog’s routine upon booking and we’ll be sure to adhere to your dogs schedule! Please be sure to send your dog to our home with their usual collar/harness and leash that they usually use. -Meals: Please provide your dog’s food and bowls when they stay with us! We find that dogs tend to eat better when they have their own bowls from home! Please also be sure to provide the meal frequency and amount to us so we keep your pup on track with their usual schedule -Toys/Treats: Your dog is welcome to our treats (Milk bones and Bocces Bakery, but if your dog is on a special diet, please provide their treats/bones. Also, if they have a favorite toy from home, feel free to bring it!

We are Monica and Kelvin, a married couple who work remotely in our home in Teaneck, NJ. We have 1 human daughter who is an animal lover just like we are, and 2 fur sons! Caring for animals is our passion, and we would be honored to have the opportunity to care for your furry family! Big, small, and any size in between is welcome in our home❤️ We are also available for dog walking and drop in visits! Our home has a backyard with a brand new 5ft PVC fence. We tend to use our backyard to allow our dogs and any dogs we care for play and exercise, but we typically still take the dogs on leashed walks 3-4x (or more/less if you prefer for your dog) throughout the day while they stay with us around our neighborhood. We always supervise the dogs play in our backyard, and never leave them out unattended (we wouldn’t do this with our own pups and would certainly not do it with a guest pup!) Your pet’s comfort, safety and happiness is of the utmost important to us during their stay in our home. Any accommodation that they require will be gladly met! We treat every pet that walks through our door like our own family and our most VIP guest! We have extra pet beds, pet gates and other comfort accommodations to make your furry family member feel at home here. We have a young and playful French bulldog that is very friendly, and a young English bulldog that is very friendly but also very lazy 😴 If your dog is not too fond of other dogs, we do have the ability to separate your dog(s) from ours comfortably and safely if they prefer more peace and quiet ☺️ When booking with us, you can expect: ⭐️ A loving family who will love and care for your dog like their own! ⭐️ Frequent photo and text updates throughout the day ⭐️ Prompt replies to your messages ⭐️ Friendly and flexible service ⭐️ A clean and pet-safe home ⭐️ Transparency about possible other dogs that may be boarding in our home at the time ⭐️ Reliable, experienced and punctual dog walker/sitters ⭐️ Assurance that your dog will get the specialized attention and love that they need and deserve in our home ⭐️ Lots of personalized love and attention for your fur baby!! Due to working from home, our schedule is extremely flexible to your dogs needs with walks, feeding, medication, exercise, etc. We cannot wait to meet you and your fur baby!!
