Dog Boarding Ridgewood

“Libby lovingly cared for Scout. Thankful you!”

“Kathy was so wonderful with my pup Steve! She sent daily updates and it was so obvious how happy and well-cared for he was. I think Steve had the time of his life and didn't miss us for one moment!”

About: I'm Rachel, a writer with a flexible schedule and a love of all things canine. I live with my husband, and my chocolate Labrador retriever, Ellie, in our West Shore cabin near Homewood. I signed up for Rover because dog sitting helps me get my fix for having a doggy harem. I would love to shower your dog with attention and affection. I volunteer at the local humane society, so I'm very adept at adapting to your dog's needs. I particularly love active dogs, and I'm happy to take your pup on hikes and swims in the lake. I'm also happy to hang out and have a more relaxing day with older, less active pups. Ellie (13) is very well-socialized, and she gets along well with dogs of all sizes. I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I’m always happy to go out for a walk or a hike. Ellie, my 13-year-old Lab, is always up for meeting a new dog friend. Daycare Rates & Information: Daycare is up to 8 hours of care. Anything longer than that time, please book a boarding stay. Drop-offs anytime after 8 a.m. Pickups before 8 p.m. Although there is a nice buffer of woods near my house, the yard is not fenced (hopefully soon). I’ll be sure to keep your pup on a leash just in case! There’s an enclosed deck for sunbathing and watching chipmunks.

“Jenny is a dog lover and took good care of my dog Riley while I was away for the weekend!”

“Gina was great! She kept me updated all throughout Deans stay, and when I got there to pick him up he was clearly comfortable and safe. It gave me such relief knowing he loved and well cared for while I was away.”

Kat B.

“Christina was great and very responsive. She treated our dog like family and always provided updates when asked. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

Anthony Z.

“Eric gave our doggo the best week of vacation. We loved seeing all of the happy videos and pictures of her playing and snuggling whilst we were away.”

Elizabeth J.

“This is the second time we booked with Susan. Susan and her family were perfect for my high-energy baby. They gave him more play time and attention that he probably gets at home! We highly recommend her!”

Omega June Z.

“My Kingsley had a great time with Kelly over this past weekend. It was Kingsleys first time with her and by the end he was a part of the family. She did a very thorough and welcoming interview with me and really made me feel like Kingsley was getting individual care from her. Her dog is so friendly and welcoming and the pictures and updates were just what I needed. We will be coming back!”

About: I’ve been around dogs my entire life, from growing up with them to having two Labrador Retrievers of my own. I also spent college as the head caretaker for our bulldog mascot, which required professional training. These days, I work remotely, so I have a lot more flexibility than the typical 9-to-5 sitter. When I’m house sitting, your dog can have plenty of company throughout the day rather than being left alone for hours. I can work from your home, take breaks for walks, and adjust the routine around what your dog is used to. I live in the Tahoe area and spend a lot of my free time outside, so I’m especially happy to get out for walks, hikes, or just some time in the fresh air with an energetic dog. At the same time, I’m equally happy hanging out at home with a senior dog or a pup who would rather spend the afternoon on the couch. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and have experience with senior dogs, daily exercise, and oral medications. My goal is to keep your dog comfortable and on their normal routine while you’re away, take good care of your home, and send enough photos and updates that you know they’re doing well. I’m happy to meet beforehand so we can make sure it’s a good fit and go over your dog’s routine, favorite spots, and anything else I should know. I work remotely and have flexibility on weekdays and weekends to stay at your home full-time or do frequent drop-ins, depending on the client’s preferences. I take the utmost care for a clients space when dog sitting, respecting all guidelines, over communicating as needed, and leaving the space as if I was never there each time. I like to share frequent updates proactively so the owner can be at peace their dog is well taken care of.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Over the past six years, I’ve helped raise four puppies and regularly care for dogs belonging to family and friends, sometimes having up to six dogs in my home at once. I have a 4-year-old Golden Retriever, Lucy, and two cats. My home has hard floors, a doggie door, and a large, secure backyard with plenty of room to explore and play. I also love taking dogs out for walks and fresh air. I care for my grandbaby at home one day a week, so I keep a safe, calm, and well-managed environment. While I’m new to Rover, I’m definitely not new to caring for dogs and love making visiting pups feel like part of the family. 🐾 My days vary, but because I work from home, I’m around most of the time. Aside from an occasional errand or Pilates class, you’ll usually find me in my home office, out in the yard, or spending time with the animals. Walks, playtime, backyard exploring, and plenty of cuddles naturally fit into my day, so visiting pups get lots of attention and companionship while they’re here. 🐾 My home is very pet-friendly and already set up with animals in mind. I have hard floors, a puppy-proofed environment, a doggie door, and a large, fully fenced backyard with plenty of room to explore and play. I’m attentive to each dog’s personality, routine, and comfort level, and I supervise introductions with Lucy and my two cats carefully. I’m also happy to separate pets or adjust the environment when needed so everyone feels safe and relaxed. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to keep a close eye on visiting pups and make sure they’re getting the right balance of play, rest, attention, and affection. 🐾

“Nicole was amazing. It was the first time we used the app and she was such a doll. So caring and sweet with our 5 month old puppy. She sent us picture updates which made us feel so at ease. The true testament of how great she was when we got him home, he was so calm and content which I think shows of how well he was looked after with her. There will definitely be more stays in the future with Nicole.Thanks again!”

Natalie W.

“Young was great with my pup. He updated us throughout her stay with texts and pics. He is very attentive to all the dogs there making sure they are all having fun and getting along. Would definitely recommend him!”

Clothilde W.

“Ashley was so great helping us last minute when we had travel cancellations! Her flexibility was so so appreciated. Leo had a blast and was exhausted for 2 days after returning home! I’d look to Ashley again for sure!”

Hannah W.

“Jaimie was awesome! She was flexible around a few oddities with pickup/drop off, but most importantly treated our dog Maple so well! Great walks and play time, we could tell Maple was very happy. Thank you!!”

Haley L.

“Kendra was so great! We had a quick overnight trip as we were traveling through town and she was so easy to work with. She sent pictures to update us and we could tell our dog was SO comfortable with her. We will definitely reach to Kendra again next time we travel through.”

“Shawna was extremely caring and considerate. I needed somebody to take care of my older dog for a day while I was out of town. This was my first time using Rover and it put me in contact with Shawna. She was extremely professional, kind, and caring with me and my dog. She even sent photos and updates throughout the time my pup was with her. I felt instantly at ease leaving my dog with her. If I am ever in need of a dog sitter again, Shawna will absolutely be getting a call from me. Thank you Shawna! You’re absolutely wonderful and I appreciate you and the love you gave lil Cloe! ❤️”

Samantha M.

About: Dogs have been both my profession and my passion. My background includes working with elite K9s in narcotics detection, explosive detection, apprehension, and executive protection. These experiences taught me how to understand canine behavior, build trust, reinforce training, and safely handle dogs in a variety of situations. What sets me apart is my ability to combine genuine care with professional training experience. Whether your dog is a highly active working breed, a puppy learning good habits, a senior needing patience and support, or a beloved family pet, I provide structured, attentive care tailored to their individual needs. My goal is to keep your pet happy, safe, mentally engaged, and well cared for while you're away. I am on your clock. I understand the importance of consistency, exercise, structure, and positive interaction. I make time every day to provide dependable care, walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship. I work hard to maintain your pet's normal routine so they feel comfortable, secure, and stress-free in your absence. Safety and trust are at the center of everything I do. My experience handling both working K9s and family pets has taught me how to recognize behavior changes, assess situations, and respond appropriately to each dog's needs. I provide a calm, structured environment with plenty of attention, exercise, and positive reinforcement. Whether caring for your pet in your home or mine, I follow your instructions closely and treat every animal as if they were my own. I believe pet owners deserve peace of mind, so I provide reliable communication, updates, and photos throughout the stay. Your pet's comfort, security, and well-being will always be my highest priorities.

“Millie loves going to see Megan’s family. I never worry if she’s well cared for. When my flight was delayed she was more than accommodating. Will never use anyone else🥰”
