Dog Boarding Newark

“Maisha was an amazing sitter for my pup! She restored my trust in the Rover platform after a couple of not so pleasant experiences…and he smelled amazing at pickup! I received morning and nightly updates with pics. Will definitely book again!!”

“Jennifer is so great with Brioche. She is kind and patient and takes the best pictures, letting me know Brioche loves being in her care. Brioche is a tough dog, due to his special needs but Jennifer is someone id trust him with 10x over. Thank you!”

“Caroline was a gem! She was very accommodating of the last minute request and the way she wanted to do a short meet and greet prior to my dog’s stay, it felt very genuine of her to ensure her dogs and my dog had a good introduction. I was nervous about leaving my dog Berkeley for a week, but Caroline and her family really loved on Berkeley like their own and I really loved that she sent frequent photos, videos, and updates about how Berkeley was doing.”

“Karollyne was great with Bizzle. She was kind and understanding and really managed to build trust with Bizzle in a short period of time. Bizzle is a senior dog and just needs gentle care and understanding which Karollyne did a great job! Highly recommended.”

“Hsin Yun & Phi were fantastic! They were super responsive and let me check out their place beforehand, which really put my mind at ease. Throughout the trip, they kept sending me updates and photos of my dog, which I really appreciated. When my flight got cancelled because of the government shutdown, they were incredibly flexible and understanding about keeping my dog longer. Honestly, their willingness to help during such a chaotic situation meant so much to me. My dog was clearly happy and well taken care of. Would definitely book with them again!”

About: Dogs have always been a massive part of my life. I grew up with a beloved Maltese who lived to a happy, healthy 17 years old, so I am deeply familiar with the dedicated care, patience, and attention that senior dogs and smaller breeds require. Over the years, I have gained extensive experience pet-sitting a wide variety of breeds and personalities, including: High-Energy & Large Breeds: Mini Goldendoodles Small & Toy Breeds: Toy Poodles, Bichons, and Maltese Whether your dog is a high-energy pup who loves to play or a sweet senior who just wants to curl up next to my desk while I work, I know how to adapt to their specific routine and comfort levels. I live in a fantastic, dog-friendly apartment complex that is perfectly set up for a guest pup’s staycation: On-Site Dog Park: Right inside my complex, perfect for safe, enclosed playtime and socializing (if permitted). Great Walking Paths: Plenty of safe, sidewalk-lined areas right outside my door for frequent, structured potty breaks and refreshing walks. Constant Supervision: Because my job keeps me glued to my home office, your dog will never be left unattended. They will have full run of the apartment, plenty of couch cuddles, and a flexible schedule that revolves entirely around their needs. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member and provide them with a safe, loving home away from home! Because we both work from home full-time, our entire daily and weekly routine is built around flexibility. We are in the home 24/7, meaning your dog will receive constant, uninterrupted attention, frequent potty breaks, and plenty of companionship. Our schedule adapts completely to your dog’s natural routine, not the other way around. If their normal day requires a midday walk, specific feeding windows, or medication, we mirror that exactly. Best of all, because there are two of us, we operate as a team—if one of us is in a deep-focus work meeting or running a quick errand, the other is right there to step in. We are fully available for full-time boarding and dedicated to making our home your pup's favorite staycation. We focus entirely on providing a safe, low-stress, and highly attentive environment in our home. Because we don’t have a resident dog of our own, your pup gets our undivided love and the run of the apartment. Here is exactly how we ensure a safe and trustworthy stay: Continuous Supervision: Since we both work from home full-time, your dog is never left alone or uncrated in an empty apartment. We double-team our schedules, meaning there is always someone available to supervise playtime, monitor behaviors, and offer comfort. A Secure, Tailored Environment: Before any guest arrives, we ensure our apartment is fully dog-proofed. We carefully match our home's setup to your dog’s usual habits—whether they prefer sleeping in a crate, curling up in a dedicated dog bed, or claiming a spot right next to our office desks. Active & Safe Outings: For bathroom breaks and exercise, we utilize the excellent walking paths around our complex. If your dog loves to socialize, we have access to our complex's secure, on-site dog park. However, we only do park play or interactions with other dogs if you explicitly give us the green light. Strict Routine Management: We strictly adhere to the feeding schedules, portion sizes, and potty routines your dog is used to at home to avoid any digestive upset or anxiety.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service! They took great care of my dog and treated him like family. I felt at ease knowing he was in such good hands. Highly recommend!”

Nelson P.

“This is my dog’s second time staying with Neide and am still very happy with the service. I could tell from the happy tail wagging in the videos and pictures that he was being well taken care of, will definitely use her in the future when needed.”

Alexandra C.

“Amanda sent us lots of photos and had everything packed up and ready when we arrived to pick her up. Our girl seemed happy as can be in the photos and when we picked her up. Thanks Amanda!”

Geneen M.

“Very good and responsible. Would hire him again”

“Tamika is a wonderful pet sitter. She took very good care of my cat Luna. I am very pleased with how well she took care of my cat and, her service I highly recommend her.”

“Leaving Zeus with Angie was the best decision we made. She’s not just reliable—she’s warm, thoughtful, and genuinely kind. From the start, I could see how much she cared. She treated Zeus like he was part of her own family, and that level of care made all the difference. Zeus is a sensitive dog. He’s usually very shy, doesn’t warm up to strangers easily, and struggles with separation anxiety. He’s also not the most social when it comes to other animals. But somehow, Angie managed to connect with him. Within just a few days, I could see a shift. He looked relaxed, at ease, and even comfortable hanging around her cats, which is a first. Angie kept me updated every day with photos and videos. I never had to ask—she was always on top of it. I could tell he was happy, healthy, and in good hands. It honestly felt like Zeus was on his own vacation while we were away for 10 days. This was hands down the best experience we’ve had with a dog sitter. Angie is someone I’d trust again without a second thought.”

“Ivanna was amazing with my baby and provided reliable and professional dog boarding in the Union NJ area. She created a safe and caring environment and followed all of her care instructions perfectly. My baby felt comfortable and happy throughout the entire stay, and the frequent photo updates gave me so much peace of mind. She came home relaxed, well fed, and clearly loved. I highly recommend Ivanna to anyone looking for trustworthy overnight dog boarding or a caring pet sitter, and I will definitely book with her again.”

About: A strong commitment to treating every pet “like you do,” with a satisfaction-focused approach centered on each animal’s happiness, comfort, and well-being. Having 20+ years of professional pet care experience, giving owners confidence that their pets are in knowledgeable hands Paws N Claws Pet Service is a full-time part of my daily and weekly routine. Each day is organized around scheduled pet visits, feeding, walks, playtime, medication administration, and client updates. Throughout the week, I coordinate bookings, communicate with pet owners, and tailor care to each pet’s individual needs to ensure they receive reliable, personalized attention. I provide personalized, in-home care that keeps pets comfortable in their familiar environment and follows their normal routine as closely as possible. During each visit, I make sure they have fresh food and water, potty breaks or litter box cleaning, exercise, playtime, and plenty of affection and attention. If needed, I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions and monitor each pet for any changes in behavior or health. I also send regular updates and photos so owners know their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away. Every pet is treated with patience, kindness, and the same level of care I would give my own.

About: I am an animal-loving, high school science teacher, located in Harrison, NJ (previously in Secaucus, Jersey City and Union City). I welcomed my own puppy home in May 2021 and have plenty of experience taking care of my sisters’ three dogs. I live in a spacious townhouse at a pet-friendly complex that has its own dog park. I’m very good with strict schedules & routines and love taking pictures & videos of my furry friends, so their humans won’t have to worry! I am at work from 7:30am to 4pm every Monday to Friday. I can do check-ins outside of these times. I can board and do doggy daycare only on weekends (starting Friday evening) and my days off, as I do not feel comfortable leaving any animal alone while I’m at work. I am a school teacher, so during the summer, I’ll be home for a majority of the day throughout the week! If I have to leave a pet alone, I will use a pet gate, playpen, or crate as needed so no pet gets into any dangerous situation. For check-ins, I will keep your space as clean as possible, so your pet doesn’t get in any icky situations! I will respect your home and always communicate what I’m doing.

“Caitlin was amazing, her and Georgia took such great care of our pup. Super communicative and flexible. Nice long walks and plenty of attention our dog came back a happy camper.”

“Let me start by saying this was my first time using Rover ever. Andrew was so helpful and reassuring and explained everything to me. Additionally, while I was away he kept me up to date with texts and pictures of Finn. Finn had a great time with Andrew and you can just tell Andrew knew exactly how to best care for my puppy. Thank you so much!!”

“Tanacka was a pleasure to have her to take care of my dog, she is very sweet and kind, she kept me updated all the time with photos and pictures, he was treated as part of the family very kindly and with compassion I would definitely recommend her to any one looking for a kind and caring sitter for their pets”

“Nicolle and Ronaldo did such an Incredible job at watching my dog Pimento! Nicolle updated me every single day on all the activities they were doing with him & included time stamps for the entire day! Pimento went on daily runs, had plenty of potty breaks, I was given meal updates, play time videos and more. They were so incredible, extremely reliable and I’m so thankful Pimento was taken such good care of! It’s obvious how much Nicolle & Ronaldo care for the dogs they watch as if they were their own. I will be booking Nicolle & Ronaldo from now on. Thank you so much! Pimento had the time of his life! 🐶🐶”

“Starry and Gio were great! I left my puppy with them for a day and everything went well :) they were always very responsive and understanding about my dog's needs (which were many given he's a small puppy). They sent multiple pictures to make sure I was tranquil I would leave Buddy with them again!”
