Doggy Day Care in Swartswood

“My pup Farrah is in her glory when staying with Hannelie. She has room to roam and two great pups to play with. Hannelie prioritizes safety and fun, leaving me with nothing but confidence that Farrah has the best care.”

“They were warm and welcoming from the beginning. Emma seemed comfortable wandering around their home and being with them. They saved me just by being available on Thanksgiving! I would definitely use them again!!”

About: I will give your dog(s) my undivided attention. They will be fed and taken for walks. I will engage with them throughout the day, as I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs. I will care for them just like they were my own pet. Being a dog owner myself, I understand how much they mean to their families. In case of an emergency at home or work, I will provide the necessary care for your dogs. I have a unique bond with every dog I meet and truly enjoy their company, ensuring they receive plenty of affection. In the past, I have cared for my family's dogs, feeding and walking them nearly every day. I am knowledgeable about how to handle dogs safely. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to dog-sit and walk the dogs entrusted to my care. Pet caring is one of my passion because they bring so much joy to our lives. With this being said after work I do appreciate the love my fur babies give me. I love to play and run with fur babies and I also get my weekly exercise in! I have a yard that they can run freely in. They will have access to my balcony for when they need cooling and some quiet.

“Alaine was great as usual and took great care of our little Max!”

About: Like most I have had dogs my entire life but my last soul mate of 16 years died a year ago and I cannot bring myself to get another dog. That being said, we love animals in this household and want them around all the time...I think you get it. My other job is a professional nature photographer so not only will you get amazing photos of your dog, I can bring them with me on my assignments if you like. Like I said in my experience, my other job is a professional photographer giving me hours and hours at my house editing my work. Also, my partner Julie is a yoga teacher who works for herself so there is always someone home. The most important thing is that it is your dog, your rules. We have the most inviting back yard but it is not fenced, however, our house is in a rural community with great neighbors. Your dog will never be off a leash if that is your wish.

About: I am a lifelong animal lover, highly experienced with “escape artists”. I only look after pets from a single household and I work from home so your pet(s) will have all the attention they need and deserve. I have experience with dogs, both young and old. Whether they need medication or potty pads, I’ve got it handled! I live in a quiet subdivision that makes for great walks, and I have a fenced in yard. NO pets are unsupervised at any time outside. I take great pride in the fact you can rest easy and know your pet is in great care! I work from home and my schedule is relative flexible. I have time to take dogs out 3 times a day (or more if required). This also allows me to get some play time in throughout the day. I do not make commitments to others when I am watching your pets, so they will always have supervision I have a fenced in yard and I live in a quiet subdivision. I have a small friendly dog that likes to keep to herself (cat friendly as well). And I have large and medium crates, if your pets prefers to sleep in one as well as plenty of space if you prefer to provide your own.

About: I’ve grown up with dogs and animals my whole life, so caring for them feels very natural to me. I was raised with Springer Spaniels and have hands-on experience with walks, feeding, playtime, administering medication, and bathing. I genuinely love being around animals and am very intuitive to their needs and energy. Whether your pet is playful and active or more calm and sensitive, I meet them where they are and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while adapting to their routine. I treat every animal like they’re my own and always aim to create a calm, loving environment while you’re away. I work from home doing marketing for small businesses, so my days are naturally calm, flexible, and centered around being present. This allows me to give pets lots of attention, walks, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I genuinely enjoy creating a peaceful, comforting environment whether that means playtime, getting outside, or just relaxing together! On Fridays, I work at a local herbal apothecary from 12–6pm (until it closes on April 20th), and on Saturdays I’m at a bakery from 10–2pm. On those days, I’m still available mornings and evenings for walks, feeding, and quality time. I’m very mindful of keeping each pet’s routine steady so they feel safe, at ease, and cared for. Creating a safe, calm, and trusting environment is always my top priority. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and any specific needs so I can care for them in a way that feels familiar and comfortable. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of your space and stick closely to your pet’s normal schedule such as feeding, walks, medication, and overall routine. I pay close attention to their behavior and energy so I can respond to their needs in a thoughtful, attentive way. If caring for pets in my home, I maintain a clean, peaceful environment with lots of supervision and care. I have a side yard for fresh air and easy walks, and I also love taking dogs out for a change of scenery whether that’s a car ride to a nearby park or a walk along the path at Lake Hopatcong across the street from my apartment! Safety is always top of mind, from secure spaces to attentive handling during walks and outdoor time. I’m also very communicative and happy to send photo and video updates so you feel connected and at ease while you’re away :)

“Aleja had been nothing but absolutely wonderful with our puppy as he has grown. She is kind, patient, flexible, and communicative, and we are so grateful for all that she has done for our family!”

“George had a wonderful time at Jillian’s home. Jillian sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which was a thoughtful addition! My George suffers from separation anxiety and upon picking him up there were not signs of that. We are so thankful that we found Jillian! Additionally, Jillian responds quick and has been a pleasure to connect with - would trust Jillian with my pup any time!”

About: I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. I’ve had dogs, cats, and other pets my entire life. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking for over 15 years. I am comfortable with feeding, walking, bathing, and of course cuddling your fur members of the family. If there are other tasks you need done around the house when I’m pet sitting, don’t hesitate to ask, chances are I am more then happy to do it. I am off Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays. On Fridays I am off at 2:30 and can accept clients after 3:00. I am available for last minute visits. My husband and I work opposite schedules so someone is always around. PLEASE READ! For boarding at my house I typically like to meet the dogs prior to accepting booking. I have two dogs of my own, a large mix breed ( male) and a medium mix breed ( girl). My dogs have always been around other dogs. During your pets stay at my house they will have access to a fully fenced in yard, free range of house and endless love ! I do request your pets to have flea and tick prevention and be up to date with vaccines. My propety is surrounded by woods and wildlife so I like to be cautious. I feed the dogs I’m boarding in a separate room, and have ample toys for different stimulation. I can send daily updates and pictures. My house also has cameras inside and out to watch when I step out.

Every dog is different, and I customize my care to what works best for them! I work from home, so your dog will have plenty of companionship throughout the day. My life revolves around dogs 24/7, with most of my work consisting of Zoom meetings and training sessions. If I do leave, it’s only for 1-2 hours max—but even then, I have a live video camera set up so I can keep an eye on your pup. It even lets me talk to them and dispense treats! Whether they need playtime, enrichment, or a cozy spot to relax, they’ll always have the care and attention they deserve. When your dog stays with me, they become part of the family! I provide a safe, comfortable, and enriching environment tailored to their unique needs. Whether they love to play, relax, or enjoy the outdoors, I adjust their stay to what makes them happiest.
