Dog Boarding in Glen Ridge

“Raya is a amazing perosn she’s very good with dogs she compassionate person she has a nice backyard and was very good with my dog she went above and beyond to take care of all of my dogs needs”

“Val is a fantastic reliable dog sitter and took great care of our French bulldog over a long weekend. He was well cared for and she sent us multiple updates throughout his stay. I would definitely recommend anyone else to use her and we are looking forward to booking her again!”

“Karen was so wonderful to my little old lady, Lola. She received excellent care and snuggles while I was away. Thank you so much for everything, Karen!!”

“Our pup had a good, relaxing stay and that was in no small part due to Estefania’s attentiveness, knowledge and caring for dogs. Starbuck can’t wait to visit again!”

About: A lifelong devotee of our four-legged friends, having shared my home with everyone from a majestic Chow Chow-Husky mix, a dignified Pekinese, to a spirited Dachshund. While Boxers hold a special place in my heart, my affection knows no bounds when it comes to breeds; I believe every dog has its unique charm. It's no surprise that my friend's pets often find themselves comfortably at my side, feeling the warmth of my genuine love for all canines. Though I don't hold professional training certifications, my life has been a rich tapestry of hands-on experiences with dogs of all temperaments. I am deeply committed to respecting the routines and training regimes established by their owners, rewarding good behavior to foster a well-balanced, happy dog. My approach to care is simple yet profound: I follow your lead, ensuring your dog's needs are met with patience, understanding, and lots of love. Special care needs? Consider them covered following all instructions, medication schedules, and appts necessary. My dog, Chico, a resilient soul I rescued as a newborn, has been my loyal companion for nearly 15 years. Despite his age, he exudes the playful spirit of a puppy I work from home and run errands a few times a week for less than a couple of hours. However, if a service is scheduled that requires my full attention, I will be sure to accommodate the pup's needs first. Caring for pets in any setting is centered on their safety, comfort, and happiness. I start with a thorough meet-and-greet to understand their needs and routines. In both my home and a client's, I ensure a safe, familiar environment, sticking to established routines to minimize stress. I meticulously manage feeding, exercise, and medication, providing regular updates to owners. Exercise, play, and companionship are key; I tailor activities to each pet's energy level and ensure they receive plenty of affection. Observant of their health and behavior, I'm prepared for emergencies, respecting the owner's home and maintaining cleanliness. My approach combines love, attentiveness, and ongoing education in pet care best practices, ensuring pets are well-cared for, happy, and thriving. I walk to local parks with my pup Chico who is a deaf/mute 14 lbs dachshund. I have an area by my home that is grassy and planted with large trees for extra shade when needed.

“Ruby has stayed with Manuel a number of times and every stay, Ruby is so happy when I go to pick her up. She gets so excited when she sees Manuel, I feel so comfortable leaving her in his care. If you’re looking for a dog sitter he is the best!”

“Digdem was so wonderful! This was my second time leaving my dog with her and she was extremely responsive and reliable. Will definitely leave him with her again, highly recommend!”

“Very professional and caring.”

“Stacy was amazing with our dog Sherlock, providing many updates and photos. She is very friendly and was quick to answer any questions that we had. When we picked up Sherlock he was relaxed and obviously very well looked after and given lots of love and attention during his stay. We would definitely use Stacy again to look after Sherlock.”

“Sade is amazing she takes very good card of my dog and my dog loves her!! She is patient understanding loving she is my permanent baby sitter for my dog”

“James was great! He would make sure to send pictures and updates to us and always kept my dog active and busy, regularly bringing him to the park to play fetch. Will be using again in the future”

“My pup Ace had so much fun! I felt 100% comfortable and at ease leaving Ace with Alice. Ace is a new diabetic so it was nerve racking to leave him for the first time knowing he needs a lot of attention and care but he got that and more. We spoke everyday and got constant updates. I definitely recommend Alice & Ace has two besties now, River and Willow! ❤️”

“So happy i finally found a sitter i can trust! Super responsible & keeps me updated. My baby is always happy when i pick him up letting me know he’s enjoying the time spent with Jay & Benji.”

“What Can I say? Michelle was great with Bella. I will be booking Michelle more often.”

“Whitney is just the BEST. Smitty is so damn happy to hang with her and Sasha. Which is rare. He’s a very chill dog, but is pretty persnickety about who he shows affection for. He clearly has affection for Whitney. That tells me everything I need to know!”

“Our dogs were happily worn out after a great day with Janill! Everything was super easy. I would highly recommend her to everyone!!”

“Ryan loves dogs!!! She literally babies my Miniature Pincher and they have the sweetest bond. I will leave him with her anytime!! Amazing caretaker and always a sweetheart!!”

“Bos and Indy loved staying with Anthony. Anthony, with his manny years of experience, was able to get Indy to play nicely with his dogs and even got our old man to join in a few times. We would use Anthony again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone to watch their dog(s).”

“Chantal did an amazing job sitting my dogs. Excellent communication and even sent pics and videos of my dogs daily activities. Will definitely use her services again and refer to anyone.”

“Amanda was my first Rover sitter experience and she was amazing! True to her bio, she kept sending pictures and videos of my dogs and was excellent with response time. My puppies are escape artists and I felt very safe leaving them in her care. Plus, her yard has full length fenced which put my mind to ease. She was very on top of the instructions I gave her and informative in her updates. I feel sooo much better about leaving my dogs in her care in the future and will definitely come to her once again! Thank you very much Amanda :)”
