Doggy Day Care in Newark

About: I have cared for other people's dogs--roommates, friends, neighbors--since childhood, many decades! I've lived with cats, dogs and birds. I said goodbye to my rescue Westie of almost 17 years during 2025, and I’m not ready for another long-term pet commitment yet. I puppy trained her (with trainer) from 4 months and provided senior care for the last few years. I am very patient when meeting new animal souls, allowing them to come to me when they’re ready. I have been taking shelter dogs on Afternoon Adventures and have been successful with helping to train dogs in my care. I am working part time and have a flexible schedule, and now that I'm pet-less, I am available, even on short notice. I have been going on walks/hikes in our beautiful parks (over 2 miles) and would prefer some four-legged company. I am very good at following your instructions, respectful of routines and choices you make, and sensitive to furry companions' needs. I'll send you lots of pics! I will board low-maintenance/energy pets in my home, not puppies or kittens.

About: I grew up with dogs and have always had dogs in my life. I love spending time with them, and look forward to helping take care of your precious pets too. I work from home, so I have plenty of time to spend with your pups every day! I'm available for boarding and doggie daycare more days. I have a large living room with a futon that your dog can be cozy on, and hang out with humans. There is a nice park nearby where we can walk every day. I also have a large gate enclosure if your dog needs a space to be alone.

“Neide's care for our dog Ace was exceptional. Her genuine love for animals was evident, and Ace connected with her instantly. Neide's attention to detail, communication, and dedication turned our worries into peace of mind. Highly recommended for her outstanding pet care!”

“My dogs had a great time with Te and I appreciate that she had availability at the last minute for both of them. She gave me some feeding advice to help my newly adopted dog put in much needed weight and it was super helpful because she's put on most of the weight she needs.”

“Amazing sitter and host for our cockapoo. We received updates throughout the stay and our dog was walked multiple times throughout the day! A lot of photos too throughout the day which is amazing! Thank you!”

“I wish I had found Ninoska sooner!! From the very first message, she was incredibly responsive and kind. When I dropped off Barto, he instantly felt at ease with her — which says a lot. Throughout the day, she sent me photos and videos, and I could clearly see how happy and comfortable he was. That brought me so much peace of mind! Now I’m just so happy (and relieved!) to have found a safe, loving place where Barto feels truly cared for. Thank you so much, Ninoska, for all the love and attention — we will definitely be coming back always!”

About: What sets me apart from other dog sitters is the genuine care and attention I give to every dog. I take the time to understand each dog’s personality, routine, and needs, rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I focus on creating a safe, fun, and loving environment, keeping dogs engaged, comfortable, and stress-free while their owners are away. I treat every dog as if they were my own, giving pet parents peace of mind and dogs the care they deserve. I have strong pet care skills, including feeding, walking, playtime engagement, and maintaining a safe and clean environment. I’m attentive to pets’ routines, behavior, and comfort levels, allowing me to provide personalized care for each animal. I’m patient, reliable, and committed to ensuring pets feel secure, happy, and well cared for at all times. I have open availability. Open to anyone’s needs. My dog goes out three times a day. The dog will also get to play in the yard. Plenty of space Looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter? I provide loving, attentive care for dogs of all ages, making sure they feel safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away. From walks and playtime to feeding and cuddles, I treat every dog like my own. Your pet’s well-being is my top priority, so you can enjoy peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands.

About: As a devoted dog enthusiast, I have accumulated over two decades of expertise in pet care and have been a dog owner for 25 years. My two English cocker spaniels hold a special place in my heart, making them my absolute world, alongside my spaniel before my current two that I had for 17 years, who passed away in 2019. Spaniels hold a special place in my heart. As a remote worker with a highly flexible schedule, I am able to be present with the puppies and dogs regardless of whether it is a weekend or a weekday. Residing in a two-story townhouse, I do not have a backyard, but I do have three balconies. Additionally, there is a park located nearby. I also have two English cocker spaniels, who are siblings, named Parker and Riley. They are friendly and calm after the initial few minutes. Parker and Riley are both six years old, and my husband and I ensure their well-being by keeping them well-groomed. We consistently monitor their eyes, perform regular teeth brushing, and ensure that their paws and nails are in optimal condition.

“Jeanette was a great sitter for Mr Pickles! Great communication throughout while she cared for our pet, and very friendly and easy going. Her golden doodle was also great with our furry baby, she kept us up to date throughout the day with pictures and video, totally recommended :)”

About: I’ve cared for many family pets in the past, mostly smaller dogs. Because of my love for dogs, I enjoy doing research about different or watching videos, so I have a deep understanding of dog behavior, body language, and care. I’m also very active and would love another reason to get out and run! Hello, my name is Taylor and I’m currently a college student! I’m available pretty much any time of any day, especially in the early afternoon. First, I respect the routine the pet already has and would like to know all details about their current routine. I also find it important to know any injuries, medications, allergies, etc. to make sure they stay as comfortable as possible.

“Amazing experience! So kind and gentle with my Brooklyn. Constantly in contact and sending photos/videos which I really appreciated! Brooklyn got along so well with the frenchie they had, and was so comfortable right away with them, taking up the whole couch! We’re so happy! Will be back!”

About: I was a soldier in my country, I took my dog ​​training course and worked with many breeds. I really like sharing my time with pets and I will take care of them as if they were my own. I work part-time and I want to share my free time with pets and take care of them as if they were my own and pamper them so that they feel good with me until they return home. I have an empty backyard which I could use for the care and much more of your pets with the greatest security and more confidence

“Klainer took great care of our two fur babies while we went to some events in NYC for the day. This was our first time having both dogs watched together, as our youngest is only 6 months old. I never had to ask for updates because Klainer provided continuous ones, which really put our minds at ease during the day. They came back to us loved and tired, making our night super easy. If you’re from out of town like we were, I highly recommend trusting her with your fur baby! Very clean apartment, too.”
