About: I am a dog mom of 2 awesome dogs. I had a dog that passed away last year who was paralyzed and had required special care for 7 years until she passed away at 13 years old. My pets are my family and I would treat your fur babies the same way. I also have 2 cats who are equally awesome. I am 59 and have had many kinds of breeds in my life that have required special types of care. I have been doing pet care for many years and it’s undoubtedly the most enjoyable job because I get to visit and play with your animals. What can be better than that! I am very responsible and most importantly reliable. Let me lighten your load and give you peace knowing your animals are in good hands. I am retired so I do not have a set schedule so I am available at any time you need. I have a lot of free time and can work around my home schedule easily I would follow whatever instructions you give, respect your home and animals and I am a very responsible pet owner. I would most definitely spend quality time with your pet. Pet care is my only job. I have been doing it for years so I have a super flexible schedule . I am available 7 days a week if my schedule permits . My pets are part of our family and are pretty spoiled. There are 3 people at home and my husband and I both work from home so they get a lot of attention . If I come to your home, I will respect your home, your animals, and I would treat your pet as if they were my own.

“My frenchie was very happy when I picked her up. Their home is a home where animals can feel comfortable. They have a great back yard for our dog to play in. This was a good choice!”

“My beagle doesn't even acknowledge me anymore when we pull up to Mike's because she knows she's usually in for a weekend of taking over his arm chair, window watching and getting a ton of love and attention from him. I have been using Mike for a few years now after couple of frustrating experiences with other sitters. He is absolutely the only one I'd use nowadays as I know how much he loves her and when I go away, I feel 100% comfortable with her in his care. He's communicative, very responsive, sends photos, updates and I feel really lucky to have him nearby! He's even accommodated her late night for me when I had a family emergency. 5/5 stars.”

“We were in Morristown for an event and needed somewhere to drop our dog for a few hours - they took great care of him and sent several pics!!”

About: Hi there! Although I only recently reactivated this app, caring for dogs is nothing new to me. I’ve been around dogs my entire life and grew up with herding breeds. I raised my beloved Border Collie, Zoey (see Gallery), from puppyhood through adulthood. She has since crossed the 🌈 bridge, but during her life I taught her fun commands like “take a bow” and “play dead.” My goal is to provide dogs of all ages with a fun, safe, clean, and secure environment that is free from hazards—while giving their owners complete peace of mind. ⸻ Today, I own a longhaired male Dachshund named Moose. He loves other dogs, is up to date on his core vaccines, and is currently unneutered. Because of him, I have firsthand experience with the unique care that long-bodied breeds require, including proper handling techniques and back protection. I’ve also cared for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. I am American Red Cross Certified in Dog First Aid 🐾 and have experience caring for medical dogs who require a little extra attention. My prior Border Collie, Zoey, was dog-reactive and medically disabled (she was completely blind in one eye), so I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and adapting care to a dog’s individual needs. ⸻ I am home throughout the day and will provide plenty of supervision, attention, potty breaks, playtime, and companionship for your pup. The house sits on a fairly quiet street in close proximity to the Belford Ferry, making it especially convenient for NYC commuters. *********** For clients interested in doggy daycare or boarding, dogs will enjoy a securely fenced backyard for supervised potty breaks and outdoor play, as well as an indoor doggy playpen located on the main living level of the home (see Gallery). The playpen is stocked with a rotating assortment of toys and enrichment activities for your pup to enjoy, and dogs also have access to the adjacent hardwood-floor living area. *********** To help keep all of our furry friends healthy and safe, proof of core vaccinations is required (except for young puppies), and all dogs must be on a flea and tick preventative. Clients are welcome to bring a crate, favorite bed, blanket, or other comfort items from home. Baby gates are installed on the stairs for added safety, and walks may be added to daycare or boarding services for an additional fee. *********** At this time, I accept one client (which can include multiple dogs) at a time, though multiple same-day clients can work if all parties are in agreement. This allows me to provide individualized attention, maintain a calm, low-stress environment, and tailor my care to each dog’s unique needs. I closely supervise all dog interactions and also have partitioned rooms, to easily keep dogs separated when needed (Moose also has a separate space for meals, naps, etc.). At night, your pup will have the playpen all to themselves for a peaceful night’s sleep (or a crate if you prefer). The playpen is also monitored with a baby monitor for an extra layer of safety. ⸻ My goal is to make drop-off as simple and stress-free as possible. If you’d prefer to simply drop off your pup, I’ve got the essentials covered! Of course, you’re always welcome to bring your dog’s own food, crate, favorite blanket, toys, or any comfort items if you’d like. *********** What’s Included with Daycare & Boarding: • Premium name-brand kibble, served with filtered water and dog-friendly bone broth • Quality limited-ingredient treats and chews such as turkey tendons, fish skins, bully sticks, etc. • Supervised outdoor potty breaks and playtime in a securely fenced yard • Indoor enrichment activities, including frozen lick mats and puzzle toys • Access to a variety of toys, blankets, and beds • Daily photo updates for peace of mind 😊 ⸻ I am home during the day; during our initial consult meeting, I will coordinate with you to find pickup and drop-off times that work. 🐾 We can go over any quirks and routines that you like to do for your pup to ease separation anxiety (such as leaving the TV on 😊) to ensure your fur baby feels safe and loved while in my care🐾

“Jackie took good care of my baby girl Nyla! I received a photo of my baby girl right before bedtime. The experience was excellent and definitely would refer her to anyone!”

“Mary & Aaron and their lovely children are the needle in the haystack! I feel so thankful and grateful that I found them. Cassius is a rescue dog with severe separation anxiety, many behavioral traits and health issues, needs a special diet, is scared of unknown environments, streets, etc....but he is totally happy each time that is going to their house ! They opened the doors of their house and they also open their hearts to Cassius as if he was their own dog... and I really mean it ! Their adorable daughter Allison will wait in the morning for Cassius, when she is off school, full of energy to play, give him treats and do puzzles together, Cassius adores her. This is an extraordinary compassionate and loving family that will take care of your dogs as if they were their own. For the first time since I rescued Cassius, I can plan on traveling, study, go to work and move around worry-free about Cassius being take care. Cassius will continue going on regular basis to their house every week, it was a match made in heaven, Cassius loves them and they love him!”

About: I've had a love for dogs for as long as I can remember. In college, I fostered over 10 dogs and cats before they found their forever home. Recently, I raised and trained a dog of my own which taught me all the necessities of being a great dog mom:) My sweet Luna is a five-year-old border collie filled with lots of love for new people and furry friends. I am super eager to help whoever may need it! I'm working a remote job so my schedule is super flexible! I am able to take my breaks whenever I want and can most likely adhere to your schedule. I have the means of transportation to go to clients' homes as well as bring them to my pet-friendly apartment. I live by multiple parks within a 5-minute walk so I am able to spend lots of time outside. My number one priority is making you and your furry friend as happy as possible.
