Dog Sitters in Brookdale, NJ

We went away for 5 days and were nervous to leave our baby with a pet sitter for the first time ever. We can say now as long as it’s Jaime we will never be nervous again! As you can see our cat loved her lol. We received daily photos, all directions were followed as given in regards to feedings/supplements and litter scooping and she even vacuumed around the box which I didn’t ask of her! Came home to a happy, healthy and loved kitty 😊

Jamie is wonderful! She took such great care of our little guy while we were away for a few days! I was green in the area of pet sitting because I usually take the pets everywhere with me lol. But Jamie exceeded my expectations by far! We also communicated daily while I was away, and she even sent me daily pics of my little guy. It was because of Jamie that I could relax while away! My entire family thanks her for that.

Jaime is amazing. Truly the best pet sitter I have ever had. I struggled to find someone who’d care for my ferret, but she went above and beyond. She’ll love your pets as if they were her own, and you’ll always have peace of mind when you’re away. Trust that your fur babies will be in excellent care here!!!

Jamie is such a delight to work with. She quickly bonded with our dog. She provides great care and love to our fur baby. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a passionate dog walker . She continues to be reliable and trustworthy.

We hired Jaime to care for our pets in our home while we were away for almost two weeks. We have quite a menagerie - 4 cats and 3 dogs, several of whom have special needs. Jaime was amazing with meeting all of their needs. She kept in touch via text several times during the first few days which gave us great peace of mind. We returned home to happy, healthy pets. If Jaime can handle our handful, she can handle anything! Highly recommend.

We’ve used Jamie now twice with our big boy Archie! Jamie is absolutely amazing and has treated our needy boy pristinely! Our first experience with Jamie found us in a pinch and needing a dog sitter for an unplanned trip. Jamie helped us calm down and made time to make sure we and Archie were comfortable with her. Needless to say we were sold and haven’t looked back since! Jamie thinks about the things most walkers/sitters don’t… she checks the temperature, she pulls in packages if they’re out front, and sends you photos of your furry one without being asked. If you need any of the services Jamie offers, do yourself a favor and book her. You won’t regret it and most importantly, your furry friend(s) will have the best time! We highly recommend Jamie!

Jaime was great with my dog! It was my first time hiring a dog walker but she exceeded the expectation! I received a photo after the walks and he looked so happy. I even noticed his appetite increased which is a great sign that jaime provided much needed exercise.

Jaime takes really good care of our dog Jager. He seems to be happier than when we leave him behind. She’s super nice - super reliable - I recommend Jaime to take care of your pets while you’re away or even while you’re around.

Jamie stayed at our house with our dog Ollie for an extended stay to care for our dog while we were away and she was absolutely fantastic. Ollie is a senior dog, and he needs twice daily shots of insulin for diabetes, and Jamie managed his care beautifully. Jamie was extremely caring , making sure to keep Ollie well socialized during our absence. She was available in real time to update us, and extremely diligent about ensuring that Ollie was always a happy dog. She was also extremely respectful of our home, which she also took great care of while we were away. We really felt like Jamie treated our dog, and us , like we were her family, and we look forward to working with her again in the future.

Jaime is the BEST! We recently bought a saltwater reef tank and needed someone to feed our fish and take care of our tank while we were away. Apparently, this is not easy to find! Thankfully, we found Jaime! She is communicative, trust worthy, responsible and always on time. We highly recommend Brookdale Pet Care.

We have used What About The Pets for my dog Rocky for daily walks for many years. Christina and her whole team are so great! We first started in 2020, continued through the pandemic and moved in 2021 outside of their service area so had to stop with our daily walks. In 2023, we moved back into their service area (yay!!). Rocky is now a senior dog with cancer and the walkers are so gentle with him, sharing fun photos every day and detailed reports of their walks. It's hard to find someone to trust with your fur baby and I have been so thankful to have them! Pic attached of Rocky in his halloween outfit they dressed him up in :)

I can not say enough positive things about my experience with What About the Pets! Christina and her team have been watching my cat for the last four years. Whether it’s just a weekend or for 10-14 day vacations, they take lots of time to not only complete basic care tasks, but also spend extra time playing with her and giving her love and attention. I really appreciate the email reports, complete with pictures, after each visit. Knowing that Christina and her team, especially Libby, are watching my fur baby gives me so much peace of mind when I’m out of town.

We feel so good knowing that our trusted sitter from What About The Pets comes to check on our Ollie whenever we have to go away. She loves him like her own and we look forward to getting the daily reports with the photos and personal notes! We can’t recommend them enough!!!

Christina and her team are amazing! We have been working with them for almost a year now, since my pregnancy and delivery of our son. They take such great care of our dog and are SUPER reliable. There have been countless times that we’ve needed a last minute walk for our dog Kruger and they were quick to confirm and fit it into their busy schedule. All the walkers we’ve had are so friendly with our dog and he loves it. We highly recommend working with Christina and her amazing team!

What About the Pets is a 10/10. Christina and crew are professional, communicative, and truly care about our pets. Having them is a huge relief. My pup is a happy, cared for boy.

I am SO happy I found What About the Pets! Hands down the best, making our furbaby their priority, I know he's in great care when they are around! He's only known one dog walker since we've rescued him and we recently moved, he immediately felt comfortable from the first meeting. Thank you again, I cannot recommend enough! Two paws up!

Christina and What About the Pets have been absolutely exceptional to work with. She, and our walker/sitter Ashley are so caring, detailed, and committed to their work. They are incredibly professional and have taken exceptional care of our dog! This has been our first time using a pet sitting/walking service, and we are new to the state, but they have alleviated any worries we ever had. We could not recommend Christina and What About the Pets more!

We have had such a great experience with What About the Pets! All of the staff really care about my dog and it’s clear he’s always so happy to see them. They are reliable which alleviates stress for me while I’m at work. Christina is easy to work with and extremely quick to respond to any questions or concerns. I would highly recommend this dog walking service to anyone.

I cannot say enough good things about ‘What About the Pets!’ Christina and her team go above and beyond to take care of my pups. We have had care from Mia, Libby, and Zabrina thus far and they are AMAZING! The team is reliable, loving, and caring. In addition to walks, pets and love, they have helped our one rescue dog who had separation anxiety grow and find confidence. I would be lost without What About the Pets and am extremely grateful for all that they do!

Have trusted Christina's team with our dog for 3 years and love her walkers. Get a detailed report every day with pictures of our pup. Excellent communication, and have never had a missed walk. Love What About the Pets!

Montclair Pet Girl is simply wonderful. They are my immediate go-to when I travel, as they take excellent care of my two kitties, giving them love and cuddles, feeding them, making sure they have plenty of water, cleaning out their litter, and sending me wonderful texts and videos. I trust them completely. They are also very reasonably priced, they respond to any texts or questions right away, and they make it super easy to book their services. They will also come to you before your trip for a meet and greet with you and your pets. I can't recommend them more highly!

We have used Montclair Pet Girl for over a year now for our cats and we are so pleased with the quality of service and the reliability of the team. Our cats have received the care and attention they need when we are away. I am especially grateful to receive daily updates with photos of our cats and a description of the care provided. Our cats are usually distrustful of strangers but they warmed up to the sitters from MPG immediately.

I absolutely love and trust Montclair Pet Girl with my dog. Allie is professional and my dog adores her! She always sends me wonderful photos and updates, she's reliable, punctual, and communicative. I'm so grateful that we found Montclair Pet Girl and I highly recommend them to care for your pet!

Janine and the Montclair Pet Girl crew are all fantastic! I could not recommend them highly enough. My dog, Paschal, adores them for his daily walks. We have also used the petsitting service and it has been fantastic. Janine is always super responsive and has always been there for us when we need last minute emergency walks!! They are super accommodating and it is so refreshing to have somebody so trustworthy take care of our very important family member!❤️ 10/10. We would be lost without the Montclair Pet Girl team!

Montclair Pet Girl is the best! They came through when our other pet service ghosted us and we were stuck. Mia was so sweet with our cats and would keep us updated with every visit. We returned to happy, well fed cats. I highly recommend them!

I highly recommend Montclair Pet Girl for all your pet care needs! I feel very fortunate to have a team of animal loving caregivers provide my somewhat temperamental pups with great care. Janine and Sheri are reliable and communicative. My dogs are excited to go for walks, play, and receive tummy rubs each week, and cuddle during extended at-home sleepovers when I’m out of town.

Stephanie takes the BEST care of our little angels when we are away! The pupdates make my wife happy, and the dogs certainly haven't complained. Bindi is happy to stay in the comfort of her home and get visits three times a day from her good friend.

Montclair Pet Girl provides exceptional service! They are professional, reliable and absolutely fantastic with my pup, Billy. At the mere turn of the key, Billy runs to the front door for his dog daily walks. Highly recommend!

We needed to find a new pet service since our recent move and wow how fabulous a service with indeed did find with Montclair Pet Girl as they exceeded all our expectations and it is so incredibly reassuring that when you go away that your pets are in the best of care !!! Mia gave the best care and cuddles to our kitties !!! Everyday we received photos , videos and texts about all the visits !!! We all agree her service was absolutely Purrfect !!! We will be referring Montclair Pet Girl to all our family and friends !!! Tom , Suzanne and kitties 🐈‍⬛🐈💕

We contacted MPG for help with our Frenchie about a year and a half ago and are so happy to have found them!! Allie takes such good care of our little man. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s safe in inclement weather, gives him enrichment toys before leaving, and even does buddy walks with his fur friends from the building next door! We truly appreciate the professionalism, reliability and care that we’ve seen from everyone at Montclair Pet Girl. I’d give them 10 stars if I could!

They really are the Furry Best! Our dog, Daffy, absolutely loves Adrian which is obviously the most important thing when considering a pet care service. However, the advantages are endless: photos every time he goes out which never fail to make us smile (I've shared some here that Adrian has taken for us). Rapid responses and amazing short timeframe flexibility for when we're in the in the city but want to make sure Daffy is walked and taken care of. The extra effort to provide Daffy with variety, not just to the same place or the same route every day. Adrian really knows Daffy as an individual dog and for us the knowledge that we have a reliable, confident and caring individual to help with Daffy is priceless.

I’ve been on the search for a reliable dog walking company and this is it! They’re the best for my fur-babies. I’ve tried other dog walking services but doesn’t compare to the furry best pet care. Marisa and Drayton are amazing and go above and beyond for our dogs. We had an incident where one of our dogs needed a last minute bath and they were able to squeeze us in. Once I got home my pup was nicely groomed and smelled so good! I can totally trust them with our dogs and know they’ll be in the absolute best care. I’m so happy a service like this is available in my building!

The Furry Best is an awesome service! Drayton is super responsive and flexible with last minute walks. He is great with dogs and knows how to pair your dog with others so they get some much needed play time. All walks are tracked and you receive lots of pictures and feedback when the walk is finished. I highly recommend The Furry Best!

I had the best experience with Furry Best pet care this past weekend! They took incredible care of our cat Charlotte while we were away on vacation. Their in-house boarding services are very helpful and convenient as they will visit your pet and take of them in the comfort of their home. They took such incredible detailed care of our girl - making sure to feed, play and spend time with her (our cat is a more social cat who demands a lot more attention/time/play). It was so great having Marisa + Drayton care so much for her and enjoy time with her. The updates and messages from the online portal are amazing because you receive photos as well as reports on how your pet is doing.HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone who is looking for trustworthy and caring people to watch after your furbabies. Five stars! :)

The furry best pet care is amazing! We got our puppy at 8 weeks, and with both of us working full time we needed someone to feed and play with him during the day. From the start they have accommodated our puppy’s needs by combining services and providing excellent care. We love getting the walk summaries, and our pup absolutely loves the team… They’ve also helped with training our puppy. Not only do they work one-on-one with him, but guided us on how to continue and progress the training. We learned so much from the first session alone! I don’t know what we would do without the Furry Best team! Highly recommended for anyone with a pup needing extra company or training.

I highly recommend furry best pet care ! We have been using their dog walking services from past few months...My dog always does a happy dance whenever Adrian comes or he sees him from far :) The dog walking services with furry best care is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and we always get all updates on the walk status. I haven’t used boarding services yet but will definitely plan to use it on our next trip !

Honestly the best dog walking service out there! Adrien is SO GREAT with our dog Mica... every time she sees him (even when we see him out and about with other dogs) she gets so excited! It’s like she’s got a new best friend. It’s so rare to find someone who will care for your dog like it’s there own but best furry pet care really goes that extra mile. I often have to schedule last minute walks and never has there been an issue with availability or communication. I know Mica is always safe and cared for in their hands. Also, the rates are more than fair for the exceptional service and care your pet receives. I’ve also found that Mica’s walks and play time with other pups have made her more socialized and well behaved around other animals and that’s all thanks to Best Furry Pet Care and Adrien. You’d be crazy not to try them out!

All I can say is we're very grateful for Furry Best. Natalia is more than what we could ask for as a dog walker. She comes every noon to get Sparky, then they walk around the block, and even before she leaves our house, Natalia will give Sparky a hug, belly rubs him and assures that he's loved even for a short time. We're professionals who work long hours and having Furry Best, especially Natalia, visit Sparky and potty him is what we needed. She's a huge help and we just can't thank her enough for catering Sparky. If you need a dog walker, I definitely recommend furry best! They're amazing and the communication is never in question. They will answer when you message them, Natalia always does. She updates us about their walks, leaves food for Sparky and water to make sure he's good for the day while waiting for us. Furry best, thank you! Natalia, you're amazing! Thank you thank you thank you!!

The Furry Best Pet Care is truly the furry best. It's really easy to schedule an appointment and the dog walk recaps are super helpful to see where they went and if they "went". Dray and Marisa are great with the dogs and treat them like their own. Highly recommended.

The team watching and caring for my pups is thoughtful, understanding and caring. I would recommend any of there services to anyone considering The Furry Best Pet Care. They have been consistent and when emergencies have come up, I was impressed by there professionalism and compassion. My pups are an extension of my family and I would allow The Furry Best Pet Care to watch over my family (pups) without hesitation!

I’ve always wanted a puppy, but I was not sure if I was up to the task as a first-time dog owner. After taking a leap of faith and adopting a two-month old German Shepherd mix, I found myself in over my head. In addition to the regular puppy problems like potty training and trying to avoid those needle teeth bites, after a visit to the vet we found out that our dog was infected not with just one, but four different types of parasites, as well as kennel cough. At this point we were questioning whether rescuing a puppy was the right decision. We decided to get a dog walker just to get some of that puppy energy out. We chose Dave and Bhakti because it was obvious that they loved animals and worked with them for a long time. However, we had no idea that in addition to the regular walks and optional hikes, we would also benefit from their expert medical and behavioral advice. Dave and Bhakti became our closest confidantes in everything relating to our puppy’s health and growth: from her diet to the best gear. They helped us navigate through our puppy’s health problems, survive the teething phase, as well as her neutering recovery time. When we panicked, they gave us healthy perspective on how our puppy was doing and kept us grounded when we were doubting our abilities. In addition to walks and hikes, Dave and Bhakti provided last-minute boarding for our dog when my husband and I needed to go away for a week on a short notice. Sometimes we joke that they are our puppy’s god parents. I would recommend Dave and Bhakti’s services to anyone who has a dog or a cat – from first-time owners, to seasoned pet parents.

I found RxTRA Care right after I had my first child and couldn't get out to walk our spirited, attention seeking dog. Daily reliable walks quickly turned into hiking adventures (with follow up photos that I LOVE) for our black lab and I'm not sure who is happier, the dog or me. Dave and Bhakti are professional, friendly and incredibly reliable. It's also helpful and reassuring to know that they have vet tech backgrounds in case anything were to come up. They're quick to respond if I need to travel for work at the last minute and always go above and beyond to accommodate us. I'm so grateful to have found them!

I recently hired RxTRA CARE Pet Sitting Service to take care of my four cats while I was out of town. They did a wonderful job caring for all of my cats, as well as administering much needed medication to my difficult and somewhat moody elderly kitty. They were extremely professional with excellent communication via their modern and efficient online system. Everyday I received updates with a checklist of everything that had been done, as well as pictures! When I arrived home my cats were calm, well-fed and everything was clean. Never once did I worry about my cats or home while away!

My experience with RxTRA CARE Pet Sitting has been absolutely wonderful from the first phone call up until present day. I have left my physically special needs dog in their care overnight, while vacationing, various times. The combination of love and knowledge they have in caring for animals is priceless! Until I met them, I have never gone away and not worried about my pets. It is such an amazing feeling to be so relaxed! Also, my dog who is timid with everyone absolutely loves and trusts them.

Bhakti was wonderful with my cats today! They both are very friendly cats but dislike getting their nails done! Lol It was great that she was able to come to my home, instead of taking them to the vet which is such a hassle! Bhakti Made them feel at ease and was able to get it done in no time! Will be using RX Pet Care in the future!

Our kitties are our babies, and when we were gone for our Honeymoon for 8 nights, we knew they were in good hands. We got pictures and more during daily updates! When we returned home, our two furbabies were happy as could be. One of our cats is extremely nervous, and we were anxious to leave him because he hides and has trouble adjusting to any changes. David and Bhakti were wonderful with him, and even managed to get pictures of him just to make sure he was doing okay! When we got home, he adjusted faster than he ever has, and we know it's because of the wonderful, genuine care he got while we were away. Thank you so much! If you love your furbabies, they deserve the best care, and this business provides it!

I used to travel a lot for business, often at last minute, or had to stay in city late for a biz meal. So when I recently learned that my cat had diabetes and required 2x a day insulin shots, exactly 10-12 hours apart for the rest of his life, I honestly wept in the vet's office. How would I ever manage this--or the cost? My vet recommended a few (very expensive) people who could come in to give cat shots but when first trip arrived, they weren't available, only confirming my fears this was about be a never-ending, logistical nightmare. But one of the unavailable sitters recommended RxTRA CARE. David and Bhakti were able to come over on very short notice to go over my cat's needs. They were so professional and knowledgeable (given their own vet/medical experience) and such lovely, warm people, I was suddenly encouraged. Their rates are extremely reasonable. But the very best thing is how easy they've made using their service through their website. You can book appts online--a feature I love (as I often plan travel late in evenings). You can also pay online--no more frantic trips to bank to get cash as you're trying to get out of town. Absolute best part is they log every visit to your home on the website with a quick journal entry and a pic of your pet, so you know exactly when they've been there. The pics of my cat, which hilariously capture his many moods, are the icing on cake. And when I had a question, they responded in about 15 minutes. Easy peasy--truly the best. I'm writing this review becuz I am DESPERATE for this company to thrive so I can rely on it for the rest of my cat's life! Most pet owners don't need my standard of care, but it's clear they can do everything: walk dogs, pet grooming, check in on regular cats (who just need food and litter scooped). and should your pet get sick, they have the expertise to handle it. These are great people offering a great service.

RxTRA Care Pet are AMAZING. They're caring with our dog Sage, who is a hyper goldendoodle -- and always love her and care for her. I recommend them whole-heartedly and they make sure she gets great exercise!!!!

Bhakti is caring, reliable and trustworthy. I have a bit of a "needy" dog and she knows exactly how to take care of her. Im so happy that I can count on her to take care of my dog whenever I need her.

Bhakti is amazing! Very friendly and professional. Couldn’t have picked a better match for my 2 frenchies. Definitely doesn’t compare to any other pet service. They are one of a kind.

Me and my pup love Boxer & Dane! They are very accommodating with booking for our needs and respond quickly to any questions or concerns I may have. We love that is a locally owned and operated business and can tell they truly love and care for all the dogs that go there! Plus the photo during the day and report card at the end of the day give me peace of mind that my pup is having fun!

They are so great with fur baby. I boarded him with on vacation and they send updates every day.

Our dog loves going to B&D, sometimes I'm not sure if she'd rather stay or come home. The employees are great and Maisy is always happy to see them. She loves all the pets! Pupdate and report cards are wonderful!

We’ve been taking our puppy Atlas since he was 2 months and we are extremely happy we found this place. As soon as we pull-up to the daycare Atlas is always extremely excited to see Diana and wants to jump out every time. I remember when he was too tiny to play with the other pups Diana would have him on her lap. Diana is also very accommodating with our crazy schedule and truly a very caring sweet person. Everyone there is excellent! We love the pictures and videos they sent us throughout the day of the pups having a great time! We highly recommend Boxer and Dane to anyone looking for a safe, clean, and loving environment!

The Best! I wouldn’t use anyone else to care for my little fur baby! They were able to accommodate my Mini Dachshund in somewhat short notice for New Years Weekend and my Puppy had a blast! Definitely using again for doggy daycare and future overnight stays.

We used to go to a different daycare and our dog would always come home different and somewhat traumatized. We ended up trying B&D even though it's 20 minutes further and we loved them. We love that they send photos and updates of our dog so we always know he's taken care of. They are so friendly and accommodating and he always comes home happy.

Our Golden doodle, Wally, loves going to Boxer and Dane for daycare. We love how convenient it is to schedule online appointments and how close it is to our home. Diana is so great and helpful and has made Wally's experience there fun with the other pups. I personally enjoy the daily update pictures of my Wally during the day to see how much fun he is having and that Diana cares about my furbaby too! The facility is clean and the environment is big for the dogs to play around in. I completely recommend Boxer and Dane for anyone who wants a safe and loving environment for their furbabies!👍

Absolutely love Boxer & Dane! I have been going to BD for 4 years now and I always feel at ease leaving my baby with them. I use to live 30 minutes from their location and have since moved over an hour away and will still bring my dog to them. I appreciate their care for my dog as if he was their own, along with the steps they go through to make sure he is ok and safe. My favorite part is the doggy report cards I get everyday when my pup is with them. I love seeing how he is doing and the pictures they take! I would never send my dog anywhere else.

My dog loves it here :) She goes for both daycare and boarding. She’s an anxious girl, but they take very good care of her, and every time we return she runs to their front door with her tail wagging.

I never leave reviews but this time I felt like I had to. This was the first time we had to do boarding for our dogs because we were going away for 7 days. I was so afraid to leave my dogs anywhere and wanted to make sure they were very well taken care of. After doing research and visiting a few places, I felt confident in leaving my dogs here. They were very well taken care of. During my time away I had peace of mind. I received pictures of them throughout the day and also a progress report. I am so grateful and happy with their service. Especially because my sister had a bad experience elsewhere. You will not be disappointed with Boxer and Dane!

I have never needed pet sitting services until now. I have added a 3rd puppy and I live alone. I love my three boys like they are my children. Needless to say I was nervous trying to find someone. I was looking and found Courtney. What a godsend. She put me at ease immediately. A true animal lover. She sent me pictures with updates. I will be using her services in the future. I highly recommend Magnifique PetCare. You will not be disappointed and be at ease knowing your animals are in the best hands. ❤️ Courtney is a true animal lover.

I can’t express how much we love magnifique pet care!!! Courtney is truly the best in the business. She absolutely loves your pet like her own!! Our minds are put at ease knowing our pup is in the very best care while we’re away. Thank you Courtney!!

Courtney is an amazing person who loves animals and cares for them greatly! My mom’s little dog Lucy goes to her and she is fabulous! We trust her with Lucy’s care and life! If I could give her 10 stars I would!

I can’t express how fantastic Courtney is. I am a total nut with my dog and trust no one with him. When my dog is with Courtney the peace of mind I have is priceless. I am forever grateful for finding her! Not to mention she’s the absolute coolest! If you need a pet sitter look no further!!

I had a 10-day family trip planned and was so stressed over leaving my 14-year-old pup Penny for that long. I searched for pet boarding places for months before finding Courtney on Facebook. We had our initial meeting and she was so kind and reassuring - I left there relieved that I found a place that I felt comfortable with. While I was gone, Courtney texted my family multiple times - with funny photos and updates on how well Penny was doing. The entire family joyfully shared those photos and I can’t tell you how much that meant to us! I was able to enjoy a worry-free vacation - something I knew would not be possible if I was worried about our beloved pup back home. I highly recommend Magnifique Pet Care Services. Thank you Courtney!

I HIGHLY recommend Courtney. Her love for animals is out of this world. She will make sure that you and your pets are extremely comfortable.

I have a pitbull rescue who is very weary about being around people she doesn’t know, but Courtney was so patient and loving with her she quickly warmed up to her and is now excited to be watched by her! If I could give more than 5 stars I would.

I would never leave my babies with anyone else.. Courtney loves all animals and it shows... .

The most caring and loving environment you can leave your 🐶 with l. Everyone is treated like family. …

The folks at Pups@Play are some of the best, most caring, dog loving people I’ve ever met. Our golden retriever Ellie has the best time every day she goes, and pulls me to get inside the door each time I drop her off. The staff is so caring, and do so much to make it comfortable for the dogs and their parents. We love Pups@Play, and Ellie does too!

Best one stop shop in the area! I initially inquired to bring my pup Ace for grooming, and Nicole was kind enough to set up our profile and get us on the schedule for the next day! I was greeted by the general manager Don, who was such a great help in introducing me to the facility and sharing all the info I needed. Our groomer Ebonie was amazing! She was very detailed and Ace came out so happy and handsome. Rebecca and Michelle helped us at checkout and answered all my questions about other services they provide. Overall an excellent place to bring my little guy. So happy. Thank you!

We have been taking our dog, Masha, to pups at play since we got her 4 years ago. She's always excited to go and the staff at Pups is so sweet with her! They really care about the dogs, and the convenience is great (right by the Walnut train station) - easy for pick up or drop off if we're coming or going to the city.

I rarely write reviews, but when I do I highlight value for all customers to be aware of. Very simply said - the team does a great job. My little crackhead comes home safe and tired out… at least for the days “appointments” are available. It’s disappointing they’re “fully booked” every day past 10am. Tricky for the folks that work later in the day. It’d be ideal to expand the facility or hire more staff. Can’t restrict business - that’s the point of having one.

We have been going to Pups at Play for years and it’s been okay. This review is a result of the most incredible experience I had last night with Michelle and Howard. This is for them!! Enroute to come pick up my sweet girl, I was caught in massive, massive traffic due to a terrible accident on route 80 in PA. This left me in bumper to bumper traffic for 3 hours, going far past the closing time of daycare. Since my sweet girl has very strict medication, leaving her for an impromptu overnight is just not an option. Michelle was incredible to work with helped me find a solution, as well as navigating traffic from the maps she could see on her desktop!!! Howard stayed late for me and welcomed me in to scoop my girl close to 9pm. So incredibly understanding as I was a wreck and never had been in this situation before. I cannot thank them enough. They are the BEST and it’s employees like them that will keep us coming back to Pups at Play. MICHELLE AND HOWARD FOR THE WIN!!

This place is a heaven for fur babies. Most reliable so far in my experience. I had to travel for 10 days and I had never left my 14 months golden retriever so I was super nervous. But when I found Pups@play montclair, all my worries were put to rest. Masti (my dog) had the best time here and the team send photos and videos every single day which I was always eagerly waiting for to see how he was doing. Masti had the best time of play and it also made him more calmer after he came home because now he is more comfortable with other dogs. Pups@play not only took a great care of him but also gave him peanut butter kong which is Masti's absolute favorite. Best part about this place is, your fur baby is not caged all day along but instead they are having a constant play time and the team is 100% monitoring them. If you are looking for dog summer camp/ slumber party style, this is your place. I highly recommend this place and Masti has definitely found his boarding slumber party place if ever I have to travel.

Very first time at the day care. People are very nice/accommodating. Our dog Chocolate seemed to enjoy the experience. Will keep you posted.. I wanted to update. My dog Chocolate is in love with Pups@Play staff and clients. He has been at day care and boarding and is so happy every time he attends a program at your facility. There is something magical about this place. Lucky us, that we found such a beautiful, loving environment for Chocolate. Thank you! Where are we at with Pups and Play? Chocolate loves every minute of his time with human and dog friends. We have a quiet home and Chocolate loves dogs. The second we tell him he is on his way to doggie day care, he is right at the door. Chocolate is the greatest dog that ever existed, keeping in mind, we are his caretakers. Chocolate feels that when he is at this facility, he is the best. He feels loved, and can run and jump and is watched over by a group with a twinkle in their eyes when they look at the dogs in their care. Have a wonderful holiday and Chocolate looks forward to many fun times with you all.

Ziggy barks and jumps with excitement just hearing the words “Pups at Play”. I know he has fun, plays hard and is well looked after. The staff knows him well and genuinely cares about him! We love P@P! EDITED DECEMBER 2023 Going from 5 stars to 1 star! Pups has gone downhill ever since Destination Pet took over the place. They have gotten rid of their loving and caring staff, amend policies that made for puppy parent convenience and overall just is no longer the warm friendly place it used to be. Sadly, we will not be returning to Pups in Montclair anymore.

Booked a stay for late August back on July 25. Our first time using Pups @ Play. Today—August 7, 2 weeks after the booking was made—We receive an email that Pups @ Play is unfortunately booked up through Labor Day and no new reservations can be accommodated. So I say to myself, "Well, dang! Great that they're busy, and I'm sure glad I booked my stay on July 25!" Turns out, they meant me! It took them TWO WEEKS to tell me they were booked up, the whole time I'd thought I had a reservation booked. How could a pet boarding business be that ignorant of their book that they didn't realize until 2 weeks later they were overbooked? What an awful first impression. Perhaps this was a blessing in disguise, but now I'm in a tight spot because I have to try and find boarding for my pup two weeks out from our trip. Thanks for nothing, Pups @ Play. The search for a reliable pet boarding service in North Jersey continues.

NEVER EVER AGAIN!!!! If I could give it zero stars I would. I’m already an anxious dog owner as it is. I had to board my 2 small dogs for 6 days. The woman at the front desk supposedly wrote in my file my one and only simple request and they still didn’t do it. I was fuming!!!! Not to mention they want to charge for every tiny thing like an Instagram photo???? Wow. Do not ever board your dogs here . To the manager, or owner, I will be more than glad to explain my entire experience with you in private if it comes down to it.

Patty has been my one and only dog sitter for the past three years. My wife and I travel often and Patty is always available and happy to have my dog stay at her place. Our dog has grown to be so fond of Patty that she isn't upset when we travel anymore. In fact, she's happy when we drop her off at Patty's and she runs inside, tail wagging, every time. Patty is a very sweet woman, easy to communicate with and is everything you want in a dog sitter. She gives us peace of mind whenever we're away, knowing that our beloved pup is well looked after. Highly recommend!

Petty is a great dog/cat walker, I've known alot about her in the past few years she has been of great service. She does her best to strive to make sure you all her honorable guest, are safe and comfortable. She's giving everyone a boarding few trials to see if your pet will settle in her home. For some dogs, Patty's Pet Palace is like a heaven on earth for irrespective of the breed n size.

Patricia took care of my 4 yr old indoor cat while I was away on holiday and it was truly the most wonderful experience. She’s so kind and attentive. She sent frequent updates (w/ pics + vids) on my kitty’s behavior and overall well-being. She even got him little toys to play with when he’s alone! It’s so heartwarming to know she is around to take care of him if I ever have to take a trip. Would absolutely recommend to anyone in need of sitter in the Clifton area.

We have been using Patty’s services for the last 5 years. She has taken car of our two cats on multiple occasions. We were able to take an extended 17 day vacation because we had Patty to come in and take car of them. We got back and they were happy and well taken care of. I highly recommend Patty.

Recently had our dog stay for close to a week with Daniela while we were on vacation and it was one of the best decisions we ever made! We were super nervous as first-time dog owners and our mind was instantly put at ease on day one since Daniela sent us pics and video of our dog having a great time. Daniela is amazing with dogs and I am so happy that I found someone I can trust with our dog. We also used her dog walking services and were super pleased! We plan on using A Click Away Pet Sitting for all our future dog boarding and walking needs!

Daniela was amazing! My sister and I needed support while we traveled and she took the best care of both her special needs Persian and my Yorkie. She made us feel secure while we were away and that they were both in great hands. We were SO grateful for her and would recommend for anyone who loves their pets like we do. She was always available to answer our questions and even to provide updates when we needed it! Thank you Daniela!

Daniela is simply the best pet sitter! She is consistently reliable, honest, and very caring. She is always responsive to a request to watch our pet, and we know he is in the best hands with Daniela at “A Click Away.” She spends time with our pet and takes excellent care of him. We recommend her wholeheartedly.

Anybody who owns a pet knows how hard it can be finding a place or reliable person to leave your beloved pet with when it comes down to going away on vacation . I struggled for a long time to find the perfect place for my Dog Rocco until I came across Jenny in Home away from home pet services in my searches through the internet. I contacted Jenny via phone call we spoke and quickly arranged a meet and greet and right away she gave me a comforting vibe and I knew Rocco would be in safe hands . I received picture updates while on vacation of Rocco and other dogs on walks and I just knew he was having a fun time as well. I’m so glad I came across Jenny . I couldn’t be more happy and I will definitely be using her services again when I go on vacation as well as her day care services as he seemed to have a lot of fun being exposed to different dogs . Thank you so much !!!! Don’t hesitate to contact Jenny for your pup it truly lives up to its name Home away from Home .

Being a first time fur mom can be quite scary, having to leave your pup "my baby" with a total stranger can be just as uneasy.... However after my very first encounter with Jenny via phone conversation, she gave me such reassurance that not only I will be great at this, but my "Parker" will be in the best of hands!! Jenny's personality, her professionalism, and how she loves all the pups, not only speaks volumes of her overall well-being and great characteristics, but she's the epitome of "Selflessness and Genuine Love" I was a little nervous about Parker being away while we we're on a mini vacation, but the photos that Jenny sent us, showed us how happy Parks were. I can't thank Jenny enough for how she loves on Parker, the continued support and assistance she offers me while I'm still navigating this new journey, and how readily and accessible she is to me. If your looking for your pup to be in a loving environment, receiving nothing but the best of care, and come back home a happy camper...Look no further, JENNY IS IT!!! Thank you Jenny❤ Parker will be back at his second home in a few weeks🤗

I have left my dog twice with Jenny and it’s always been a pleasant pickup/drop off. Very convenient for the location and price

Jenny was an absolute pleasure to work with! I had to leave my pup with her for a long weekend and I felt so comfortable, and my dog was SO happy! Her place is like a cozy little dog sanctuary so I definitely felt like I was leaving him somewhere he'd feel comfortable and at home. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which I loved, and always kept me in the loop. She even cooks her own organic food and treats, and sent us home with a sample to try out. 10/10 would absolutely recommend for all of your pet needs, would care and love your dog like her own!

I have been using Home Away From Home Pet Services since I relocated to New Jersey 3 years ago and I couldn't have found a better sitter for my cocker spaniel Max. Not only is Jenny professional she exuberates love and compassion for the animals in her care. I trust her completely with my pet and I often refer others to receive the same quality of care for their pet.

Jeny's home was just what I was looking for. I have an older dog that gets very anxious so it was important for me that I found something that was as close to a home as possible. I didn't even have time to bathe my dog before I dropped him off and he came back super shiny. I'm looking forward to using the services again.

Best dog sitter I have ever had! I am from Canada and used this service for my youngest pup while travelling. I wish they were closer. Will certainly get them again anytime I am in the NJ/NYC area. Very fast at responding to messages, very polite and kind, incredibly reasonable price, and my little boy seemed so happy when I picked him up!

Jenny is lovely, kind, caring, responsive, reliable, professional...can't say enough good things about her. She took great care of our dog Teddy during regular walks and during boarding when we were away. She also takes adorable photos!! She also took great care of our cat (drop in feeding and medicating) when we were away. We trust her completely.

Finding someone to trust your baby with can be a nerve wracking experience. So much can potentially go wrong. And has a few times for me with others. But I knew I’d finally found the right person when I found Jenny. She’s a pro 100%. I knew she was someone I could leave the keys to my home with (literally and figuratively). She’s a great communicator. She’s thorough. She’s thoughtful. She takes initiative. She’s experienced. She’s fair and She’s kind. I will use Jenny for as long as I have a dog in my life and as long as she’s willing to care for them. I could not recommend her enough. Finding the right person for this particular job is priceless.

I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Jenny!! She has taken care of my pets for me for the last 3 years with such care and compassion. My dogs know the second we turn onto her street and start freaking out because they are so excited to see her. They hate leaving!! I have a hectic unknown schedule because I am in the airline industry and she always seems to make it work to care for my dogs last minute. She is responsive, reliable, and her prices are very reasonable!! (As if there is really a price too high to know your fur babies are being loved on every second you can’t lol) She also is an amazing photographer and takes the best photos of your babies for you while you’re away. 10/10 recommend Jenny’s services to anyone in the NJ area. I tried so many unreliable Wag dog sitters until I came across Jenny and I will never go back. Thanks J for all you do for Gnash and Bindi!!!
