Kennels are NOT FOR THE DOGS!!

YUP....SAY GOODBYE TO KENNELS!!! Absolutely, POSITIVELY, kennels are NOT FOR THE DOGS, but a nice warm, loving, & comfortable home with freedom to roam is!! Give your lovable four-legged family members that best care during your next vacation or business trip and say goodbye to kennels. Take them instead to our home where we will pamper your doggies with tender loving care!! My husband and I are enthusiastic dog lovers. We currently have two sweet, fun-loving Boxers that we treat as our own kids! Your doggies will be treated that same way once they are in our care. Features: * Large 4000 sq-ft home with 1/2 acre fenced-in yard for your doggies to run around & exercise * Toys and treats provided * Loving care included! We have a two-story, single-family house located in a nice quiet neighborhood in the Township of Piscataway, NJ. Additionally, we have a fully-finished basement where we have set aside as a large dog playroom when the doggies can play, eat, and sleep. Both my husband & I will be at the house during your doggies visit and will always be under our supervision. Why I love dog sitting My husband & I have been avid dog lovers for over ten years now ever since we adopted/rescued our first Boxer, Tiki. After having Tiki for about two years, we decided to adopt another Boxer, Jemma! Both are beautiful Boxers as illustrated in our profile pictures and we love them to no end! Meet my pets Our pride and joy are two Boxers we adopted from Boxer Rescue organizations in Maine, namely, Tiki (male boxer) and Jemma (female boxer). We love both of them to no end and provide them with a good environment that we believe contributes to good health and happiness for these doggies! NOTE 1: Unfortunately, Gemma passed last Feb, 2017 due to cancer but I can't get myself to modify this paragraph, so it will stay as is for now. NOTE 2: Our beloved Tiki has also passed recently, he was 13 years old. We will miss him so, so very much. About my yard Yes, we have a rather large fenced-in backyard with plenty of space for the doggies to run around, play, and get ample exercise throughout their stay with us.

We had such a great experience with Nikki watching Rudy for the week! She was so sweet, friendly, and super easy to communicate with, which made us feel really comfortable while we were away. Rudy absolutely loved her and seemed so happy and comfortable with her the whole time. She sent us tons of pictures and videos throughout the week, which we loved and really appreciated! It was so nice knowing he was getting lots of love and attention while we were gone. We would definitely have her watch Rudy again and highly recommend her!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks Most walks with your doggies will be at Wynnwood Park, conveniently located behind our home. Wynnwood Park is a medium-sized park that is quite suitable for taking the doggies for a walk in the park! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Our house is littered with dog beds everywhere! So, your doggies can pretty much sleep where they want. However, the basement is set up with dog beds and toys and dog dishes, thus, this will probably be the best play area in the entire house and your doggies will spend a lot of time there. We will of course be spending time there as well. Time I'll spend with your dog My husband and I will be constant companions of your doggies throughout the day.
