Doggy Day Care in Rock Tavern

“This was my first time leaving my dog for boarding and using the Rover app.Jonathon went above and beyond to take care of my dog I even ran out of food and he offered to run to the store to grab some more. Throughout the stay he updated me and sent pictures easing some of my anxiety. I now know I have someone that I can rely on and my dog will be taking good care of and I will be using.Jonathon for my future boarding needs! I’ve also recommended him to my friends as well.”

“Annie was great! She was super responsive and helpful. I dropped Parker off at Puppy Paws while visiting Storm King, which is conveniently about 5 minutes down the road. The shop itself is super cute and Parker was very well taken care of.”

About: As a doctor, I’ve spent years caring for people of all ages and I bring that same compassion, patience, and attention to detail to the pets I look after. What sets me apart is my medical background and calm, caring approach to both routine and unexpected situations. I’m comfortable helping with pets who need a bit of extra attention, like seniors, those on medication, or anxious animals, always ensuring they feel safe and cared for. I’ve been caring for dogs since I was about 10 years old, when I started helping my neighbors with their pets while they were away. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with dogs of all sizes and temperaments — from playful puppies who need consistency and training, to older dogs who require gentler care and medication on schedule. In the past, I’ve also trained many dogs, focusing on consistency, positive reinforcement, and gentle play to help them learn and have fun. Whether your pet needs structured walks, quiet companionship, or a steady hand during medication time, I’ll treat them like one of my own family members. Pet care fits easily into my daily routine. I’m an early riser and make time every day for walks, play, and check-ins. My work schedule is flexible, allowing me to plan visits around each pet’s needs—whether it’s morning exercise, midday drop-ins, or evening companionship. Caring for animals is a relaxing and rewarding part of my week. I treat every home and pet with the same respect and care I give my own. I follow your instructions carefully, maintain a clean environment, and keep pets safe with close supervision indoors and secure leashes outdoors. I focus on helping pets feel comfortable and calm, especially when their families are away, so they always feel cared for and at ease.

“David took excellent care of our two pups! He was very attentive and made sure to ask good questions ahead of time. He communicated frequently with us and kept us updated! We picked up 2 very happy dogs. Would definitely recommend”

“At first, I struggled with the thought of leaving my grand dog (Zyla is my daughter’s dog), because Zyla really is treated like a family member and Zyla is our everything but Monica was wonderful. Monica sent multiple photos throughout the day which reassured us that Zyla was ok. From the photos I could tell that Zyla was having a blast. Zyla made a new furry friend and two human friends. Monica not only sent me photos but updated me throughout the day on Zyla’s activities which eased my worry as well. I can tell Zyla had the time of her life because she fell fast asleep on her ride home. Monica made Zyla’s first doggy daycare experience wonderful for both Zyla and her owners. I am definitely scheduling more future dates with Monica for both doggie daycare and boarding.”

“Tara was amazing! She helped me out last minute and was super communicative the whole time. She sent regular updates and clearly cared about Finn—he loved being with her! So grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“It was my first time leaving my baby with anyone. Amy was very pleasant and my pup loved her the moment she came to greet him. He went crazy with her family and her own pups. I picked up a calm dog which is never the case with my baby, hes always extra excited to see me, so that means he was OK, he had fun and wasn't nervous/concerned while in her care which was a huge relieve for me. Looks like he had a good time there. Highly recommend.”

“Alexis was a dream dog sitter. Her house is lovely with lots of space and a fenced in yard. She was also a great communicator, and I felt fully at ease leaving my pup in her care. I would definitely return the next time I need a sitter.”

About: Hi! I’m a stay at home mom who absolutely loves animals and being home makes me the perfect person to give your pup lots of attention throughout the day 🤍 I’ve been caring for pets for over 10 years and grew up with my Yorkie, Asia, who lived to 13. Being a dog mom taught me how important it is to know your fur baby is in safe, loving hands. I’m patient, attentive, and experienced with both puppies and senior dogs, including giving oral medication if needed. Whether it’s walks, playtime, or cuddles, I make sure every pup feels comfortable and cared for. My home is cozy with a backyard for safe play, and I have a sweet cat named Woody. I treat every pet like family and always try to stick to their routine so they feel right at home. I’d love to set up a meet & greet beforehand so you can feel confident your pup is happy, safe, and loved 💓 I’m a full time stay at home mom to two precious little girls! and with that your pup will always have company! I balance caring for my little one with walks, playtime, and snuggles for your dog, making sure every pet gets attention and love throughout the day. My kids also have a love for animals as well and are taught how to interact with different animals! My home is cozy and safe, with a dedicated area for your pup to relax and feel at home where I'll have anything your pup needs (You're welcome to provide anything that makes them comfortable as well). I also have a backyard where they can run, play, and get their zoomies out safely. Your fur baby will have a space that’s loving, fun, and stress-free.
