Pet care experience

🐾 Dog Mom & The Furry Retreat

Hi! I come from a lifelong pet-loving family and have carried that same care and commitment into my own home. With my children now grown and busy with college life, I’m able to provide full-time, dependable daycare and boarding in a safe, spacious, and loving environment. Dogs in my care are treated like family and receive consistent attention, comfort, and supervision throughout the day. What Your Dog Can Expect:🐶 - Safe, comfortable spaces to play, rest, and feel at home - Daily routines, exercise, and enrichment as permitted - Plenty of love, cuddles, and supervision with family support - Special attention for puppies and senior dogs - Regular Awesome photos and video updates so you know your pup is happy and thriving. Your fur baby will have family company throughout the day. They’ll enjoy a balanced routine filled with fun and comfort, from indoor time with age and breed-appropriate toys, cuddle sessions, and plenty of potty breaks and outdoor play. We have a 15,000 sq ft, high-fenced backyard where the pups can safely run, play, and explore under our supervision. There are toys and frisbees for games of fetch. Many pups get the zoomies the moment they see the wide open space! For dogs who prefer a calmer day, there’s no shortage of lounging, hugs, and ear or belly rubs in our warm, family environment. Why Choose Me? 😊 - I'm professional, responsible, compassionate, and loving. - I keep a clean, peaceful environment for my doggy guests. - Conveniently located near Newark Airport — perfect for travelers - Available for daycare and overnight boarding throughout the week - Limited bookings to ensure high-quality, focused care 🐾 Space is limited to ensure quality care. Reach out to reserve your dog’s spot today!

This was my first experience at pet boarding, and it was phenomenal. Rosario took great care of my Frenchie for the 8 days I was away, and she kept me updated with pictures and videos. My doggie came back so happy when I picked him up. Thank you Rosario for everything you did. I will definitely look forward to book again for future trips.

Milo loves being at Rosario’s house with her back yard. She sends a lot of updates and pictures as well. Will definitely be taking Milo back.

Doggy Day Care • mar 08, 2026

We had our first doggy daycare drop-off with Rosario and it was a great experience. Our 4-month-old Dachshund had a wonderful time and came home happy and tired. Rosario was professional, clearly experienced with puppies, and kept us updated throughout the day. Overall, a very positive experience for everyone—we’d definitely feel comfortable booking again.

If I could give Rosario more than five stars, I absolutely would! She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve ever had. My dog Luna loves Rosario and gets genuinely excited every time she stays at her home, which tells me everything I need to know. Rosario goes above and beyond in every possible way: she’s incredibly attentive, thoughtful, and keeps me constantly updated with Luna’s meals, activities, and the most adorable, professional quality photos (seriously, frame worthy). Her home is spacious, perfectly suited for dogs, and the large backyard is a dream for pups to run and play. Rosario is clearly a neighborhood favorite, and it’s easy to see why, she treats Luna like her own. I have complete peace of mind every time I leave Luna with her, and I honestly think Luna would move in if she could. We can’t wait to book with Rosario again!

Schedule

I work from home, so my pups are always close by as I go about my day. Whether I’m doing yard work or working indoors, they happily follow along, enjoying playtime and companionship throughout the day. They’re a wonderful company, always giving and receiving love. I ensure they get plenty of playtime or downtime as needed and weather-appropriate.

A typical day

Your pup will enjoy loving companionship throughout the day in a calm, family-style environment. Their routine is thoughtfully balanced with indoor play using age and breed-appropriate toys, supervised yard time, daily walks, and plenty of cozy cuddle breaks. Soft music plays in the background to create a soothing atmosphere for relaxation between activities. For your dog’s comfort and safety, outdoor time is adjusted based on weather, and pups remain indoors during extreme heat or cold. Every dog, whether playful or mellow, is made to feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

Every pup is unique, and I’m happy to accommodate a wide range of needs.

This helps me prepare in advance and ensures your dog’s stay is comfortable, healthy, and worry-free.
