Doggy Day Care in The Waterfront, Jersey City

“They took a lot of pictures and videos for me and updated me on Baldur’s time especially right now when he’s adjusting to new food I enjoyed the updates and were also very accommodating when I had to add on a last minute booking before our original start date.”

“Alexandra and Joe were just the best. Super responsive and communicative and very caring. Their dog Otis is an absolute sweetheart that actually got my old(er) dog to play. Franklin will definitely be back to hang!”

“Danielle has such great energy . She is kind , trustworthy and seams like a natural with animals . It takes sometime for Freye to open up to new people but almost instantly my Freya felt comfortable with Danielle. Danielle provided videos , pictures and updates in real time that helped me know what was going on. Danielle went above and beyond for my little Freya and is highly recommended. I will defiantly be using Danielle again !”

“Amy is incredible with my Maltese, Ralphie. She sends great updates with pics throughout the day and cares for Ralphie as if he is her own. I'm able to get through my long shifts at work without worrying about my lil guy - I could not be more grateful!”

Therese C.

“This was my second booking with Chandni, and she was amazing once again! She was super welcoming and accommodating, especially on such short notice. Pistacho was really anxious being alone, and she took such great care of him, making sure he felt comfortable and safe. I’m so grateful for her help and would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“Brandon is excellent. He and Josie bonded instantly and love Brandon's kind and gentle spirit. Everything went so well that my skepticism went out the windows. This was Josie's first time outside of known family and friends... she did well because of Brandon. My instructions were followed to the letter. Hoorah! In the future, I'll book Brandon for my four-legged child, again and again. Bravo to Brandon and much success!!!”

“Sneha was an incredible sitter. She made a point to make sure Snowi had fun and was well cared for. We were also late in returning to pick her up, and Sneha was able to accommodate!”

Scott K.

“Pratik was amazing! I am a first time Rover user and Pratik eased my worries! He accepted our last minute request to puppy sit as we were just in town for the day. Then was so gracious when our puppy, who is house trained had an accident! Pratik walked our sweet boy and sent incredible photos of our pup relaxed and happy! Thank you Pratik, we will call you ahead of our next trip to NYC!”

About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my whole life and couldn’t imagine it any other way! I have two wonderful dogs of my own and grew up caring for family and friends’ pets. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, or just giving lots of love, I always treat every pup like they’re part of the family. I also have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior companions who need extra care and patience. I work part-time from home, with plenty of flexibility to care for your pup! I’m available all hours of the day as my work can be flexible around dog walking. I love spending time outdoors, so your dog will get plenty of walks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. Your pup’s safety and well-being are my top priorities! Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood or a drop-in visit, I’ll make sure they get the care, attention, and exercise they need. I always prioritize their comfort, follow any special instructions you provide, and treat every dog like my own.

“Arthur had a wonderful time with Rainie and Loby! Rainie was super communicative and sent lots of pics and video. Really appreciate the updates and felt very comfortable with her watching Art!”

“I could not have asked for a better experience! Unfortunately, I did not have opportunity to meet Yuan, however, her husband spent the day with Bailey. Usually if we leave Bailey with anyone, including people she knows, she barks when we return to let us know, she is not happy with us leaving her. When we arrived to pick her up, she ran to us, no barking, totally happy. I would recommend rover and especially, this family”

“Andrea was a lifesaver while I was trying to work through some mass transit issues. I knew my boy,Finn was in good hands.”

“I booked Wajiha only at a day's notice for day care for my dog. She was very kind to accept it at a short notice. I always look for someone who has a dog that my dog can play with. Wajiha's golden retriever and Piku were able to spend time playing and tire each other out. Overall we had a smooth experience with no issues. Would definitely book with her again in future.”

About: Caring for dogs has always been second nature to me. Growing up with dogs taught me to understand their needs, behaviors, and unique personalities. This bond has stayed with me throughout my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them—whether it’s playing, walking, or simply being a comforting presence. With over 6 years of experience as a dog sitter, I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and temperaments. I help them adjust to new environments, maintain their routines, and feel safe and comfortable even when away from home. I believe in patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement to build trust and create a calm, stress-free experience for every pup. ⸻ What I Offer • Dogs up to 60 lbs (Small, Medium & Large): I welcome well-behaved dogs up to 60 lbs, as long as they’re calm around cats.

With over six years of hands-on experience and a deep love for dogs, I treat every pup like family. I’m committed to providing a safe, calm, and loving environment tailored to your dog’s needs. Whether it’s their first time away from home or they’re seasoned travelers, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and happy. I look forward to meeting your furry friend and welcoming them into my home! Pet care is an essential part of my daily and weekly routine. Since I primarily offer boarding services, I make sure to structure my day around the dogs’ needs, ensuring they get enough exercise, playtime, and attention. • Morning Routine: I start the day with feeding, followed by a morning walk to help the dogs burn off energy and start the day on a positive note. • Midday Activities: Depending on the dog’s energy level, I engage them in interactive play, training reinforcement, or another walk if needed. If I have daycare clients, I ensure they have a fun and structured day. • Evening Routine: Dinner is followed by a relaxed walk and some downtime, where I make sure they are comfortable and settled in for the night. On a weekly basis, I schedule time for cleaning and sanitizing the space, maintaining a safe and hygienic environment. Since I also enjoy fitness and staying active, taking care of dogs fits naturally into my lifestyle, as it keeps me moving and engaged. My goal is always to make sure the dogs in my care feel happy, comfortable, and loved throughout their stay. Creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment for pets is my top priority. Since I primarily offer boarding services, I ensure that every dog feels at home while in my care. Safety First • My home is a pet-friendly space with no hazards, and I always supervise dogs during playtime to prevent accidents. • Walks are done with secure leashes, and I only take dogs to safe, appropriate areas. • I follow each pet’s dietary needs and feeding schedule to maintain their health and prevent any digestive issues. Building Trust • I take time to understand each dog’s personality, preferences, and any special needs they may have. • Positive reinforcement and patience help me build trust, especially with shy or anxious dogs. • Regular updates and photos are sent to owners so they feel assured their pets are happy and well cared for. Comfortable & Clean Environment • Dogs have a cozy space to rest, with clean bedding and access to fresh water at all times. • Daily exercise and playtime are provided to keep them physically and mentally stimulated. • I maintain a clean and hygienic space, regularly sanitizing areas where pets eat, sleep, and play. Whether boarding at my home or providing daycare, I strive to create a stress-free, enjoyable experience for both pets and their owners.

“Cynthia took great care of Maru while I was ok. My dog has special needs and is not the easiest boy to care for with a long list of instructions. I can tell Maru had a great time with her and Brooklyn and would love to book again next time.”

About: Hello! If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like family, you've come to the right place. I have a very friendly Shih Tzu of my own, and I know how important it is to find a sitter you can trust. I've lived with dogs at home for most of my life, and for over two years, I've been a trusted sitter on Rover, providing attentive care to many dogs who continue to stay with me. I'm eager to give your pup all the attention and care they deserve. I’m at home full time so I’ll be available for your pet all day. I feed and walk my dog twice daily and I’d love to do the same for your baby! I love having fur babies around and will make sure your dog has the best time. I live in an apartment building with easy access to a vet. Your dog will have walks by the waterfront or one of the two dog parks nearby. My dog Deedee is very friendly and loves company!
