Dog Boarding in Stanhope, NJ

“Christina and her family are fantastic. This was the first time Stevie and I would be apart after his adoption 4 months ago and I didn’t want put him back in a kennel environment. Christina and her family made him feel safe and loved from the moment they met him. I received daily updates and pictures of Stevie enjoying himself and treated as another member of her lovely family. Couldn’t be happier with the experience. Stevie know has a family away from home. Thank you for such a fantastic experience!”

“Gail took great care of sully while we were away. She is very caring and our dog seemed to feel very comfortable and relaxed in her home. She is very responsive and provides good updates. We were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying if sully was doing ok.”

About: My family and I have been taking care of dogs on and off for 15 years. Our dog has had two litters totaling 23 (Creampuff Labradoodle is the breeder) which we have hosted in our home as they grew up. We love nature, being outdoors, and all things animal related! We host play dates at our home often and our pup enjoys the company. Things to note: we are a busy household and have three children. We are in and out throughout the day but never for long periods of time when watching pups. Visiting dogs must be comfortable around my dog and children. I will always do a meet and greet before taking a dog in. Must know basic training skills and be clean upon arrival, and be house trained. Things to bring for day care/boarding: Bed, water and food bowls, crate. If a crate is not an option then we can use our gated corral. They are able to have free rein over house, I am fine with that but as a safety precaution or for use when we leave I prefer to have an option to contain the pups. I have toys, towels, and treats. If any signs of aggression are shown or excessive behaviors I will ask if I can gently train your dog with a sound device. I have used this on my own dog and it works great as a non invasive tool if unpredictable circumstances arise. Our back yard is fenced and we take extra care at our front door and can block the foyer with an extra gate for safety. I own a photography business so I make my own schedule. If I am away from the house, it is not for long at all and I do all my editing from my home office. I am flexible and accommodating to various needs. I have a fully fenced back yard. We have a gate for leaving uncreated dogs in if we run out for a bit. It can block off the foyer area or be set up by the deck door for views of the yard.

“10/10 every time. Carol and her family take the absolute best care of Max we could ever ask for. Their home has become our dog's vacation home while we are away! Thank you so much for all you do and for making us feel comfortable and worry-free while he's with you.”

“This was our first time using Chris and we were so thrilled that he took great care of our almost 14 yo dog Charlie. He sent a daily picture and comments as to how Charlie’s was doing. Charlie’s required daily eye drop and Chris readily complied without hesitation. We will surely use him again!”

“My pup, Candy was very happy with her stay. Joanne was very kind and kept me updated on how everything was going and I felt confident leaving Candy there. I would book again.”

“I could not be happier with the care Lana provided for my dog Winnie while my family and I were on vacation. She sent videos daily of their many walks and belly rubs and I felt content that my dog was really being loved and cared for while we were away. She went out of her way to set up her home to maximize the pets comfort and safety and I appreciated that. Most importantly, Winnie seemed to really enjoy her time there. The entire process was seemless. I will definitely be using Lana again!”

“Samantha was incredible with our dog. Samantha agreed to care for our dog at the last minute, which we are incredibly grateful for. Poor pup was diagnosed with a UTI so Samantha administered medications to her and made sure she got out often to pee. Fantastic attention to our dog and great communication, highly recommend Samantha’s services!!”

“Erin was great with our three dogs. It was their first time staying at someone else's house and they were acting up. She was willing to bring them back to my house and watch them there. I love that she was flexible and honest. She took great care of them. I was over three hours away and was so glad that she was able to come up with plan B and execute it. She was so flexible, accommodating and friendly. She made me feel at ease. We would definitely book her again.”

“Yanni did a wonderful job taking care of my senior dog and keeping her comfortable while I was away. I highly recommend her!”

About: I’ve taken care of my friends’ dogs since I was a teenager. I’m the designated dog sitter when my brother Andrew goes on trips. He has three dogs of different sizes, ages and needs. I have always been able to calm his puppies down as I am a calm and patient person. I’m a “gentle parent” for dogs. I use a positive reinforcement style when it comes to bad behaviors. I do work full time, but remotely on Fridays and on-site is only 25 minutes away from home. The most time Monday-Thursday that I would be out of the house is about 8 hours I only have a bearded dragon in a glass tank at home currently so no other furry pets that could possibly not get along with yours. I have a large fully-fenced in backyard and live in a large neighborhood with sidewalks for our daily strolls.

“Christina was AMAZING! Our dog Rhodey had such a great time and she took care of him very well. We had boarded him for 5 days and he got so much love & cuddles during that time. She was a pleasure to communicate with, always responding quickly and providing details when needed. She even sent him home with a little gift! She's so sweet and kind, I would highly recommend her for any pet related service!! Was a true pleasure and will definitely hire her again :)”

“Karina spent a full week caring for my dog J. They were a great fit together .. and I was very pleased with how much she enjoyed her time with him. Abundant communication throughout each day: pictures, videos, and notes about activities, and how he was adjusting. It was a great comfort to know he was being well cared for, and given so much positive attention & love. Truly above and beyond my expectations. I am sure J is looking forward to seeing Karina again.!!”

“Sabita did an amazing job watching over blue I appreciate the communication and the overall care of my dog I highly recommend this caretaker will revisit!!!”

About: I'm an AVID dog lover! Since my childhood, I've been called upon by neighbors to care for their dogs. I currently have my 8th (Kona) and 9th (Kali) dog in my home. At multiple times during my life, I've was a dog owner to 3 dogs at one time. I recently gave up my teaching career to do this full time, after only doing it during the summers. I have a spacious home with radiant floor heat for cold nights, and central air for hot days and a very large fenced in yard, all in a quiet neighborhood. As a teacher who just left the education field, I am home committing myself to dog care/boarding after just doing it during the summers. I also work on my home based travel business. My yard is grassy and comfortable for lounging in the sun or running around to play. Plenty of dog friendly space indoors, too! Crate available as needed.

“Kathleen and Diego did a phenomenal job with Busta! It was my first time using a boarder or the app Rover.com. I felt comfortable with the home and spacious yard. Busta is an indoors type of dog but has a lot of energy and their 2 dogs matched Busta perfectly! He enjoyed it so much he didn’t want to leave. I would definitely use their services again. The couple is friendly and accommodating and made me feel safe leaving him in their care.”

“I felt very confident leaving my elderly dog Blue with Paul. Paul gave him his medications and special concoction of food with no problem. He set Blue up for comfort and ease while I traveled, and sent me photos and updates for my peace of mind. I highly recommend Paul for your pet sitting needs!”

About: Hello my name is Sarah. I am a mom of 3, and have 2 pups of my own in our family. Pets have always been a big part of my life since a very young age. They are so much more than pets, they are our family members. I am currently a full-time stay at home mother with ample time to help you and your family out while you are away, at work, or your pet is in need of a companion. I know how hard it is to leave your pets/family alone while you have to take care of every day life. I can travel to and from your house to care for your pet(s) as one of my own. My schedule is very flexible to accommodate any need you might have. I will make sure your pet is very well loved and happy from the time I get there until the time I leave. I look forward to meeting you and caring for your loved fur babies.
