Doggy Day Care in Mount Marion

“Nicole and her dog Bowie are great! So glad to have met them. We’ll be back. I couldn’t keep Penny away. She had so much fun and was well cared for.”

About: I grew up in a cat household and became a dog mom as soon as I left home. I absolutely love all of the cats and dogs I’ve been fortunate enough to meet in this life. I raised my pup, Grumble, from 3 weeks old until she left this world at 11 years old. I am very familiar with the range of needs a dog will have throughout life, from teething to play to mobility assistance. I'm fully available in the winter as my regular job (gardening) is seasonal and won't be picking up again until later in the spring time. I can be flexible to your pets needs and more than happy to follow any directions you provide me with for their optimal care and contentment.

“My Sadie enjoyed her stay today at Jane’s… she wasn’t completely ready to go home. She enjoyed playing with her doggy friends! Thank you again, Jane! 🐶”

“Marielle took great care of my little Zuzu! My puppy started the day sad about me leaving her there and by the end she was totally bonded with Marielle! She was also totally tuckered out so she clearly got plenty of exercise.”

“Can't say enough good things about Sophia. She was extremely caring and loving with our puppy, a true animal lover and very pleasant person to deal with. Thank you once again!!!”

“Romy was happy staying with Suzanne. Suzanne was very accommodating due to heat wave and kept Romy inside and cool. Would definitely use her again when we are in the area.”

About: I am recently retired and a new dog owner as of 2024. I enjoy spending time with dogs and my own dog, Tilly, is very socialable with other dogs and humans. The fenced in backyard is a combination of grass and woods, providing plenty of areas to explore, relax and play. Currently retired and a relatively new dog owner (1+ year). I can host your pet any day of the week providing I am home. I enjoy walking, playing and napping with my dog Tilly and would provide the same level of care for your dog. My backyard is fenced in and provides plenty of space to roam around. There are paths through the wooded area, a large section of grass and plenty of shade. On a pleasant day, your pup will spend a good deal of time playing with our dog Tilly outside and then napping on the couch or an outside bed.

About: I didn’t get to experience the joy of growing up with dogs or cats but as soon as I was able I began taking in fosters from the NYC shelter system. It was quite a learning experience spending time with many dogs (and a few cats) of all different types and personalities. I no longer foster but I bring the experience and dedication from working with so many shelter pets to caring for your furry family members. And as a pet parent now myself I have been through many sitters so I understand what makes a good one! A note on boarding and meet and greets: I’m happy to have boarding candidates come by to meet me and check out the space but I do not do meet and greets with my own dogs. My dogs are dog friendly but they are too chaotic and excitable to meet new dogs and owners right away. New dogs are kept separate at first and introduced at their own pace when everyone is calm. This minimizes stress for everyone and allows for better interactions. I currently work out of the house Monday/Wednesday/Friday but my schedule is somewhat flexible. The rest of the week I work at home and I am often available all weekend. Dogs in my home have access to a securely fenced large yard for running and fetch, as well as a quiet neighborhood for walks. If the weather is warm dogs have access to a dog door so they may go outside as they please. If your dog likes to play with other dogs mine will certainly be happy to accommodate but they can also have separate spaces if quiet time is needed. In your home I will make every effort to keep your pets schedule as familiar as possible while offering lots of love and stimulation. As someone who has had many sitters come through and stay at my house I understand the importance of trust and cleanliness so you can be away without worry.

“We left our bichon frisée with Eleanor for the afternoon, and we were delighted. She was friendly and warm, and our pooch did well in his brief stay with her. I recommend Eleanor if you need someone to watch your pup.”

“Jacqueline was very friendly and communicative, and Bunsen took an instant liking. We received photos of her well-being during her stay and of her mile walk. Jacqueline’s home is conveniently located in a popular historic town, making drop-off/pickup easy on the way to/from Hunter Ski Resort from our hotel. Bunsen was well cared for and happy. She was also so tired, that she managed to rest during the long car ride back home! We would book Jacqueline again.”

“Jack is so kind and patient, and really understands how to connect with, care for, and teach dogs! He is easy to communicate with, thoughtful, and responsible. Ellie loves her time with Jack! We are SO grateful for his excellent care!”

About: I have over 5 years of professional experience owning and operating a dog care company, where I provide dependable, hands-on care for dogs of all breeds and sizes. I currently own and train dogs, including service dogs and dogs working toward their Canine Good Citizen (CGC) certification, which has given me extensive experience with daily routines, consistency, and individualized care. In addition to my professional work, I’ve also worked with foster dogs, helping provide stable, attentive care as they transition into new homes. This experience has made me patient, reliable, and comfortable caring for dogs with a wide range of backgrounds. Beyond my professional experience, I have over 30 years of owning, caring for, and loving my own animals and those of friends and family. Animals have always been a central part of my life, and caring for them comes naturally to me. I prioritize safety, reliability, and clear communication. I follow owner instructions closely, maintain consistent schedules, and make sure every pet feels secure and well cared for. Whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or extended care, I treat every animal as if they were my own. Caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s what I’ve built my life around. My goal is always to give pet parents peace of mind and provide loving, dependable care. My schedule is very flexible, as I’m a salaried employee, which allows me to adjust my availability around the needs of the pets in my care. I’m able to accommodate a variety of schedules, including daytime visits, extended stays, and last-minute requests when possible. This flexibility helps me provide consistent, attentive care without rushing, and ensures pets receive the time and attention they deserve. Safety, trust, and comfort are my top priorities. Pets in my care are welcomed into my home and treated as part of the household, with the freedom to relax and roam as if it were their own home. I maintain a clean, calm, and pet-friendly environment and closely follow any care instructions provided. My goal is to create a secure, stress-free space where pets feel comfortable, cared for, and at ease while their owners are away.

“Janice is the best! A truly loving, attentive, and friendly farm for my puppy! She and her family are so patient and caring! There’s no one I trust more! 💕🐾”

“Kery is super nice, has a great space for hosting my pup, great communication, and the wonderful experience. I highly recommend. The minute my boy got there he went right to her and didn't even look back for me when I started the car and left. That says a lot.”

About: I’ve been around animals since I was a child and grew up on a farm in Puerto Rico, so caring for different kinds of pets comes naturally to me. I’m very attentive, patient, and mindful of each animal’s needs. I always make sure pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved, and I treat them as if they were my own. I go the extra mile to keep them happy, relaxed, and well-cared for.🌻 I work a part-time job, and in my free time I hang out with animals. Taking care of pets really grew on me—it just feels natural. I love being around them and seeing all their different personalities. It’s cool how every pet has their own little vibe. I’m a nature-loving person who enjoys long walks and runs. My time with pets is always great, and I’m sure they have a blast too! I’m very mindful when it comes to animals — making sure they’re comfortable, energized, and happy is a must

“Nicole was wonderful with our dog Riley! She took him for doggy daycare and you know he enjoyed it because the second day we brought him he couldn’t wait to jump out of the car to see her! Her kids were great with him too. We wouldn’t hesitate to leave Riley with Nicole again.”

About: Hello! I’m a professional writer who works from home and often watches my neighbors’ dogs just because I think it’s fun. I joined Rover to help others who might need last-minute dog sitting. My own golden retriever Emmett chills with me all day and we go for walks around the block at lunchtime and we’d love for your friend to join us! I host one dog at a time (in addition to Emmett). I’ve been around dogs and pets of all kinds my whole life and am happy to just spend some quality time feeding, patting, walking or running with a good pooch. I’m super comfortable with all breeds, just maybe not strong enough to handle anyone over 100 pounds unless they’re super well trained. I’ve seen Emmett and my previous dogs, Henry and Teddy, through all kinds of ear infections, hot spots, and geriatric arthritis treatments and am really good at finding ticks! My brother has Emmett’s brother, Gary, so you’ll see the two of them in a few pics together. I’m a remote freelance writer so my schedule is very flexible. I walk Emmett every day at least three times a day so it’s really easy to add an additional dog to the mix. I’m home all day so we all hang. Our yard is unfortunately not fenced but because I spend a lot of time at my computer I balance that with a lot of midday dog walks. When your pet stays here it’s very chill; as long as your dog gets along with Emmett they’ll have full range of the house and can snooze wherever and then we’ll go walk about around the block a few times, which nets out to be about a mile.
