Doggy Day Care Squankum

“Tina did a great job taking care of Mia, and we were thankful that she responded right away to a short-notice request to watch her. Mia took to Tina immediately, running to greet her. We also appreciated the timely updates and Tina's efforts to get our nervous dog to eat.”

About: Hello! My name is Rachel and I’ve cared for all types of animals for the last 2 decades. Spanning from specialized senior canine care to helping kittens with neurological disorders, I’ve seen the gamut. I was a vet tech for a brief period. I worked at the local animal shelter. I did a few years of dog training as well. I specialize in socializing, medical, and hugs. I work well with pets who don’t seem to do well with new people. I understand dog and cat body language as a previous trainer. I look forward to meeting your pets and treating them as my own 😻 I work remote so I’m able to have a very flexible schedule and I primarily work from home. I’m able to adapt to your pets routine. I am equipped to handle any medical or physical challenges your animals may have. I’m able to keep tight schedules for medicine administration and the likes. I have a large yard (not fenced but I have leads) and a small dog friendly dog. I have 2 cats as well who are also dog friendly. We go for minimum 2 walks per work day and spend time in the yard on the leads weather permitted

“Rachel was an amazing host for our Cleo. She made sure to know any special needs of our dog and also has a house that is very pet friendly. Lots of beds and toys for the pups to play with. Our dog loves the company of other dogs so her and Rachel’s dog got along like sisters. Rachel was kind enough to plan a day of activities for Cleo, taking her to a few dog parks and a nature walk (Rachel sends photos often so you can be aware of what they are up to). Cleo was happy and exhausted from the good time she had at Rachel’s and we all know a tired dog is a happy dog and care taker. Will be looking forward to having Cleo stay with Rachel again when we’re in the area.”

About: I was the full time Mom for our Havanese until he passed at 11 1/2 years old. I love spending time with dogs on a long walk, playtime, or practicing simple commands. I'm extremely patient and loving, and will treat your dog as my own! I have a very flexible work-from-home schedule, which makes it possible for me to accept a variety of walk or visit times (in addition to the scheduled shown), and I can often take a last minute request. Pet safety is my number one priority. I don't take chances, we always stay safe whether it's being properly leashed or making sure there's nothing dangerous within your dog's reach.

About: I have a sweet Italian Greyhound mix 7 year-old dog, Luna, whom I love to the moon and back. I also have a 12 year-old cat named Stella and a 6 year old kitty named Thor. I have watched many dogs over the years, including overnight stays. I have experience with feedings/special diets, grooming, walks, playtime, crate training, and snuggle sessions. I am an active runner, so if your little one needs a little extra exercise, I love running with dogs. I work full time from home, so your dog will not be unattended for long periods of time and I can take breaks during the day for lots of walks. There will be lots of social interaction and attention given to every animal in my care. I hope to meet your fur bundle of joy soon! I work full time out of my house and can take care of your animals morning, afternoon and night. We will have lots of time for walks and play daily. I have a fenced yard and the friendliest animals that will keep your pup company. We have two small children that love animals and understand boundaries - they are great play companions as well.

“Vincent has been watching my 3 year old labradoodle for a couple weeks during the days while I go into an office. He is so kind and great with her- he is very responsible and communicative. I feel very comfortable leaving my dog with him.”

About: Hi my name is Micaela and one thing about me is that I adore animals! I love all animals so very much. I also feel that I work really well with them. I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life. Most of my dogs have been big dogs so I’m pretty good with handling any challenge that’s thrown my way. I’ve had more aggressive and protective dogs as well as laid back dogs and I’ve loved all. I’ve also worked at local shelters in my hometown and felt that that helped me gain more experience working with varying animals. I trained a couple of my dogs from a young age and though I’m not certified I felt that I did a pretty good job. I’m very patient and very genuine. I also watched my dogs whenever my parents would go on business trips which was quite often so I’d say this is the perfect job for me! I’m a college student but have majority of my classes online so my schedule is pretty clear. I love being outdoors and in nature so dog walking is right up my alley. I also love just chilling at home so I have no problem with that as well. I will always be respectful of others space especially if they are allowing me to stay in their home and watch their animals. I would say I’m a pretty neat person and don’t mind cleaning up if anything is needed. Genuinely it makes me happy to help others around the house if necessary. I used to babysit for a while and would always tidy up when I could find the time. I recently moved and now live with my grandparents and mom. We also have a chocolate lab who’s very energetic and loves to play. We have a fenced in yard and a conservation close to our house so there’s plenty of space for the animals. We love having dogs in the house.

About: We know how stressful it can be to leave a family member with someone else—that’s why we’re here to make it easy and comforting for both you & your pup. When your dog stays with us, they’ll be treated like family. My husband and I rotate working from home, so there’s always someone here to give your pet attention, love, and plenty of playtime. I’ve been caring for animals for over 15 years, and I truly can’t imagine life without them. We are huge animal lovers, and your pet’s happiness and well-being will always be our top priority. We love spending time outdoors—hiking, beach trips, and dog-friendly adventures are part of our routine. At home, we have a large fenced-in yard (1 acre), security cameras for peace of mind, and plenty of room for your dog to run, play, and relax. On nice days, we’re often outside enjoying the sunshine, and yes—dogs are welcome to splash around in the pool! Our dog Casanova swims all day long jumping off the diving board on his own. Our little Stella will hop on a pool float and take a nap. Our dogs are friendly and social, and we do our best to ensure all pets feel comfortable, safe, and loved. We let the dogs out every 2–3 hours, and we’re happy to help with basic training or any special care your pup might need. We’re here to give your dog the attention they deserve while you’re away—and to give you daily updates so you can relax knowing they’re in good hands. We have a 2 year old so we are switching to small dogs only. My dogs are spoiled and part of the family. I treat them like my kids and they go outside whenever they ask or at least every few hours. Friendly pets are welcomed like part of the family. They are free to go where they want and sleep where they would like. Our pups sleep in our room and have their own pillow and blanket.

“Great and very organized sitter. He worked with me and I was confident my Nettie was in great hands. 10/10 recommend… i’ll be a repeat customer!”

About: We’ve had dogs our entire lives and currently share our home with an Australian Shepherd, so we’re very familiar with active dogs and consistent routines. We’ve also fostered dogs, giving us experience helping pets feel comfortable in new environments and working with different personalities. We treat every dog like our own and focus on making them feel safe, happy, and cared for while you’re away. Pet care fits easily into our routine since we both work from home and are around throughout the day. Pets receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention in a calm family environment. With two adults home, we’re able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and care while keeping pets comfortable and on their normal routines. Because we have two young children, we only accept dogs that are friendly with kids and other dogs. Dogs stay with us as part of our daily family routine and receive regular potty breaks, playtime, walks, and lots of attention throughout the day since we both work from home. We also have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and exercise. Our goal is to provide a comfortable, supervised home environment where dogs feel relaxed and cared for.

“They were great people. Lovely home and very gentle in their interactions with Archie. Would use them again if in the NJ area.”
