Doggy Day Care in Toms River

“Wow!!! What a great experience! First time leaving our young pup and Corrine couldn’t have made it easier! She was super kind and communicative and sent us pictures during the day. Our little Bowie did not want to leave. Thank you so much Corrine!”

About: Hello! My name is Matt, and I’m a devoted dog owner and caretaker with a passion for providing a safe and loving environment for your furry friends. I have two adorable pups of my own—an affectionate 12-year-old toy poodle (the boss) and an energetic 4-year-old doodle. They are both well-socialized and love making new friends, so your dog will feel right at home in our household! I work from home full-time, so I’m always available to give your pup plenty of attention, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. My home is equipped with a secure, fenced backyard where your dog can run, play, and explore in a safe environment. I understand that every dog is unique and has their own needs and routines. I’m committed to ensuring that your pet feels comfortable and happy while they’re with me. Whether it’s going for walks, playing fetch, or just lounging around, I’m here to provide the care and companionship your dog deserves. I look forward to meeting your furry friends and giving them a delightful experience while you are away! I work from home full-time which allows me ample time to care for your pup, including playtime, potty breaks, and cuddles. Both of my pups are very friendly and love making new friends. I have a fenced yard, and two pups to keep your pet company. Both of my dogs are crate trained. I can provide a crate if need be for sleeping accommodations

“Kara was great with our dog. She was extremely flexible and responsive regarding drop off and pickup, and her own dogs were fun for our dog to play with. We will definitely use her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to others.”

About: Hi, I’m Andy! I’ve spent over a decade working in dog care — both independently and for professional dog walking, sitting, and training services. I love all animals, but over time, I’ve found a real passion and strength in caring for large-breed dogs. I’m 6’7” and a former D1 athlete — which definitely comes in handy when caring for strong pups! I’ve worked with dogs up to 225 lbs (shoutout to Gus, the gentle giant Bull Mastiff). Handling big dogs isn’t a challenge for me; it’s second nature. I offer reliable, confident care for pets of all sizes — but if you’ve got a big pup others struggle with, you’re in the right place. I offer in-home dog day care and occasional boarding, depending on your pet’s needs. Dogs in my home are treated like family: allowed on furniture (unless you’d prefer otherwise), given full backyard access, and loved just like our own. I’m consistently available for day care 2–3 days/week (often more), especially during weekdays. My schedule is flexible and we can discuss recurring or one-time needs. Pets who stay with us are treated like family. They’re welcome on furniture (unless you request otherwise) and will have regular access to the backyard. Our 50-lb rescue dog, Sheeba, loves canine company. Our 14-lb cat, Bella, keeps her distance at first but is fearless once she’s comfortable. She has high-up perches for space when needed and rarely uses her claws — even when giving a gentle warning tap. Honestly, she’d rather nap on a dog than argue with one. 🤷🏼‍♂️

“Danielle kept our girl Trixie for the day while we hosted a bbq for 65 people. Trixie is an escape artist if someone leaves the door or gate open more than 2 seconds so we knew we needed to send her to camp for the day. Danielle sent us a video of Trixie having a blast with the other dogs. Danielle was even flexible enough to deliver Trixie back to our home (same town) as a last minute request. We will definitely use her again. Thanks for pooping my girl out, she slept like a log that night.”

About: I’ve taken care of cats and dogs for over 20 years. From training puppies (& lots of walks) to caring for aging dogs. I’ve enjoyed it all. I’m a stay at home mom to teenagers. I am happy to spend my time at home taking great care of your pet family members. We love having your pet in our home, but I do not take more than one or two pets at a time (1 family) and I don’t take boarding or care request that are more than two weeks long. I have a large fenced in backyard. I can also take care of pets in your home, but only full overnight on Friday & Saturday.

“Arlene did a great job taking care of my dog.”

About: I have always been a lover of animals. I grew up with cats, dogs, rabbits, guniea pigs, and hamsters. Every single animal I’ve had has been given the love they deserve. Giving them all their play time, I have a huge fenced in yard for dogs to run around in and play fetch. If pets need their own space, I can accommodate that. If you need me to take extra time out for them I can offer that as well! I’m here to help! I am a hairstylist by trade for 27 years and love what I do, I work part time to be home more with my children. Being a hairstylist, I love helping my clients look and feel good. That being said, I figured I can help people in other ways as well and being that I love animals, why not help people with their pets by taking care of them! I take my dog on daily walks, except for Tuesdays and Saturdays but those are the days I work in the salon, but my husband takes our dog out. She also will go to my mother's house in the summer to swim with us as she absolutely loves the pool! Being that I am home most of the week, watching dogs fits well into my schedule. I will treat other people's pets as if they were my own. As long as they are potty trained, I will allow them to walk freely in my home, I have a huge fenced in yard for them to run and play. As long as the weather is beautiful out, I will take them on walks as well with my family! Myself and my family will treat your pets as if they were ours! We will show them love the entire time they are with us!

“Christine took great care of our boy Junie! It was the first time we left him with anyone and he had a blast! From playing with Christine’s daughter to playing with another pup. Christine kept me informed throughout the day with messages and pictures. I highly recommend!! Thank you!”

About: I have been working with animals since I was a young kid. My love though is dogs… especially older dogs! I have been a rescuer, foster, and dog owner for as long as I can remember. I am a volunteer at the local animal shelter as a dog walker. I am here to make sure your pet is taken care of safely. I work from home, but can make my schedule work. Its very flexible. Monday-Friday anywhere between 830am and 3:30pm. Last minute appointments are okay too. I rescued my 5-year-old Pit Mix last year from a reputable rescue.

About: With 30 years of pet sitting under my belt, I’ve seen it all—tail wags, purrs, and the occasional goat mischief! From pampered pups to sassy cats and quirky farm friends, I’ve built a life around loving and caring for animals of all kinds. Trustworthy, reliable, and always ready with a treat (or two), I make sure your pets feel right at home while you're away. Think of me as your furry (and hooved) family’s favorite human! Life doesn’t always follow a 9-to-5, and neither do pets! I offer care to fit your schedule—including early mornings, evenings, and weekends. Whether your pet needs a sunrise stroll, a dinner-time cuddle, or care during a weekend getaway, I’m here to help—on your time. I also do sniff spots - basically it’s like a private dog park for you in my backyard. Message me for details. When it comes to caring for your pets, trust is everything—and I’m committed to earning and keeping that trust every day. I’m neat, organized, and always follow the guidelines you provide to ensure your pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. Whether it’s feeding schedules, medication routines, or favorite playtime spots, I take every detail seriously. Above all, your pet’s safety is my top priority, and I’ll treat them like my own, with love and care every step of the way. Please note for the safety of all pets and people proof of your pet’s up to date vaccination records will be required.

“Alba took great care of my lily for daycare! She sent plenty of updates and photos/videos. She gave me a full report on Lily’s time with her. She was so warm and welcoming! I know lily had a great time and I felt completely at ease with her taking care of my baby. Alba was very communicative from the start to finish! I highly recommend alba and will definitely use her again in the future! Thank you Alba!!!!”
