Dog Sitters in Fairfield, NJ

I’ve been looking for a dog daycare/play locally. Was totally impressed just walking in for our evaluation. Staff was so friendly and amazing with my Walter butters (pit mix)! Anthony explained everything to me in regards to their policies, costs and Most important the safety of the dogs health! We are starting on Monday and I’m so looking forward to My Walter having fun play dates!

Love this place and the people that staff it😀they always accommodate me when I need it. My pups: Steff, Jazz, and Brownie are a handful and vocal but no matter how crazy or loud, I know they’re in the best hands other than mine. If you are contemplating boarding, board here. You’ll be thrilled by your decision. …

I boarded my dog at Hounds Town in Fairfield for 3 nights, and I couldn't be happier with the experience! The staff was so warm and welcoming, which immediately put me at ease. They took excellent care of my sweet boy, and I loved the daily updates and photos they provided. My dog came back happy, well-rested, and clearly enjoyed his time there. The facility is clean, and I appreciate that the dogs get plenty of playtime and attention. I will definitely be using Hounds Town again for future boarding and highly recommend them to any pet owner looking for a reliable and caring place!

From the initial phone call to the first visit. The staff is super friendly and you could genuinely feel they truly care about your pup. They are open and honest with you about your pup’s experiences and how they get along with other dogs. I was initially hesitant about bringing my pup here as she is less than a year old but she fit right in. The facility is a cute facility for dogs and I like the fact that the dogs play mostly all day and when I pick her up she comes home super tired out from a fun exciting day. Prices are reasonable compared to other places and the place is not like a dog prison like other places but a big beautiful playground

Anthony was so kind. I didn’t have an appointment and I was asking for A LOT and he made it happen same day and I was able to move into my new place without any stress over my dogs care. 10/10

Everyone was very nice and treated your dog as if it was their own. It was very clean and our Luna seemed to enjoy her stay there. They post daily pictures so you can see how your dog is doing. Thank you Hounds Town for making Luna’s stay with you a good one.

Great, friendly staff who clearly love dogs! Our hound had a great time playing with the other dogs and he got a bath as well as teeth brushing and nails clipped! Very happy with Hounds Town, and we will be back!

We love this place. We started our pup there as soon as they opened. We were looking for a fun doggie day care for our very rambunctious St Berdoodle. We have used them for boarding and pampering and I have zero complaints! The people that work there truly have love for these pups. They’re all wonderful, super nice and welcoming. Highly recommend them for all your pups needs. Note for the picture - this was a pic at day care then his post pamper portrait. This was the deluxe townie bath. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

As a first timer, Hound Town Fairfield NJ was right on time. Secure, Friendly, Clean atmosphere. Rosie & Dennis were Comforting. Ensuring my baby Nico would be safe and have a Fun-Time.

Brewster had so much fun during his first day at Hounds Town! When I picked him up he was so happy. They posted so many pictures and videos of the dogs playing on their Facebook page.

We love Rover Ranch and Spa! When we're on vacation, we always look on the feeds for pictures of our dog. It really makes a big difference, because we miss her so much!

We love Rover Ranch! Our dog, Ranger, loves going for the day and for over nights too. We know he is loved, cared for, safe, and happy! He is able to play and socialize with other dogs in a safe environment with hands on knowledgable trainers . I would highly recommend checking this place out! Max and his team are amazing! Best decision we made when we decided to bring a puppy into our family! Rover Ranch is the way to go!

WOW! What an AMAZING place to take your fur babies! Natalia was so kind and knowledgeable! Came in for a bath. My fur babies were so calm, when I drop them off. Will be returning soon! Highly recommend! Thanks, Natalia for taking care of my fur babies! 😊 …

Our puppy Mia needed to start socializing with other dogs and we found Rover Ranch. 3 months later Mia loves going to the ranch and Max and his team are so compassionate and caring which was very important to me. In addition to Mia’s new doggie friends, she is greeted so warmly by all staff when she arrives and we feel like family every time we arrive! Their rates are very reasonable and the facility is safe and clean. Thank you Rover Ranch for taking good care of our baby during her frequent weekly visits!

My Dogs Love to come here, we said Tonka do you wanna go to the Doggie day care and he run to his leash, same with the other dogs. Dogs need people that love them and understand them, and this is the perfect place if you want your doggie to be love like you do to them💜 …

Our dog loves being here. He is always excited when we take him, whether just for the day or for an overnight. The staff is really friendly and seem to love taking care of the dogs

Rover Ranch is my Patriot’s ( labrador) second home. This month is 1 year that Patriot has been attending Rover Ranch. He wags his tail showing pure excitement when he arrives to the parking lot. Max, Jess, Dianna and all staff are marvelous! Patriot also did training with Max ( owner) and I was able to apply many techniques with Patriot. Patriot goes part time, we always feel at ease when he boards and get updates from the center. They get well pampered and Thanks to a local neighbor recommended Rover Ranch! Patriot comes home exhausted and he’s a happy camper!!

I would highly recommend working with Jessica from Rover Ranch in Fairfield NJ. Her passion to work with dogs is contagious. She has a large compassion and knowledge when it comes to training towards behavioral issues. Jessica teaches more than just the basic training. She understands your pets thoughts and what makes them understand what you want from them. Jessica who has many tricks and treats of how to train dogs and with her enthusiastic attitude she can help your pup learn quickly and easily. Odin is big fan of Jessica and it was a great experience for his family.

We wouldn’t feel safe leaving our baby anywhere else!! Willow has been coming here for almost 3 years now and have had amazing experiences every time we drop her off. Jess is always going above and beyond for all of the dogs and owners!! She is 100% a huge reason we will never leave. The best daycare around!

A 5 Star Resort for my wonderful doggie, Rover Ranch & Spa provides a wholesome boarding experience with 24/7 supervision, an opportunity to socialize with furry friends, lots of exercise and loving attention. I know my pet is well cared for at the ranch. He is relaxed and refreshed when he returns home, so we never feel bad when we cannot take him with us.

Daisy came home tired and happy from her first experience at K9 Resorts. Our other dog Gracie always loved it there

We love k-9 in Fairfield! My dog, Callaway started going when she was around 7 months old as we were referred by our neighbors dog who goes. My dog is super happy, loves other dogs and has a ton of energy so I decided to give them a try. I was super nervous dropping her off for her evaluation, but the assistant manager Sue was so helpful and called me halfway through the day to give me a full report! Ever since that day (almost 2 years ago!), Callaway has literally squealed in delight from the car when she knows she is headed to K9! The staff is always so friendly and caring and I know they treat my dog amazing because as soon as she steps in the door, she’s kissing them, wagging her tail and goes right in! I love how clean the facility is and what a great job they do staying on top of vaccinations. I highly recommend k9 and appreciate their services. If you have a dog that is social or energetic, their daycare is a lifesaver. My girl is so much happier when I am work hanging with her human and pup pals than she is at home! I also enjoy seeing her having a great time on their Instagram while I am at work!

The staff is absolutely fantastic. We've been boarding our boy here when I travel for work, which is frequently, and they've always given him excellent care. Sue, in particular, is amazing. She is so helpful with advice and she truly cares about the dogs. Highly recommended - worth the price.

Our dog is always so happy going to K9 Resorts and I know he will always be well taken care of. Even after all this time they have been closed due to renovations from fire, the staff did not skip a beat on the great care of our Theo. We look forward to his next stay there.

I brought Butterfinger on opening day and was so impressed with the facility and staff. Can’t wait for happy memories to be made!!

We love K9 Resorts because we know our dogs will be well taken care of, and we don’t have to worry when we’re away. The facility is always clean and the staff is very professional and kind.

This review is long overdue. It is going to be lengthy, but since I always rely on other people’s experiences, and like to do thorough research before deciding on anything, I thought it might be helpful for some others like me. We always wanted a dog, but we used to travel quite a lot, and COVID lockdown seemed to be a perfect time to get accustomed, and figure it all out before things go back to normal. We got our first dog, the cutest beagle puppy, only 8 weeks old. Few months later, after talking to a lot of my friends, reading a lot of reviews, calling and visiting quite a few places, I decided to sign up my puppy for half days day care package at K9 in Fairfield. My first interaction was with Anna, she showed me around, and she was so helpful and patient with so many of my questions and worries. The place is so clean, and I loved that instead of separating the dogs by size or breed, they actually group them by energy and personality. My dog hates the collar (I know, I should make him 😬), but k9 does not require them to wear one, and still they know every single dog’s name. They told me that every dog has unique personality just like people. I started taking Benny for half days once or twice a week, and he was so excited every time we pulled up in the parking lot. He always left happy and exhausted, and I very much enjoyed seeing the Instagram photos of him playing with all his friends. I know some other places offer 24 hours video access, but honestly for me it would be a distraction, because I would most likely be watching it 24 hours (lol) and stress even more. After almost a year, time came for my family to go back to traveling, and we were supposed to leave him for two weeks. I was so nervous, and sad, and worried about everything. Is he going to sleep, is he going to eat, will he get sick, will he miss us, will he forget his routine at home, and God knows what not??? My Benny was literally on his own little vacation while we were away. He had a blast! I emailed every day, and whether was it Anna, Andy, Nancy or Sue, every single time I got the response right back, with all the updates about how he is doing. The day we picked him up, once again I worried. Did he loose weight, did he loose his voice, is he a different dog now? He was exactly the same, happy, playful dog that we left two weeks ago! Today I took him for day care again, the first time after our vacation, and that’s what made me post this review. He was SO excited to go in, and see the staff, and see his friends- it was a definite confirmation that this is the place to leave my dog without anything to worry about! At times, I struggled as a first time dog owner. Anna and Andy always gave me tips and advice on how to deal with it. K9 knows dogs, they care for them, and they keep them safe. I am so happy I found them, and I am recommending to everyone!! Thank you, K9 Fairfield ❤️!!

Really great experience. My dog LOVES this place. Staff is super friendly and they genuinely care about my dog! Highly recommend!!!

Highly recommend! My girls are very excited every time I mention where we’re going! Their happiness proves that they are having a wonderful experience. Staff is always pleasant and very responsible.

I had my dog board for several days here at K9 resorts in Fairfield. The staff is very nice, professional, and very attentive. During pickup my dog smelt great from his bath and could tell he had a great time while we were away. It is great because while they board they also can participate in daycare daily. Our dog came home super tired due to all the fun he was having! I will definitely bring him back here to board and for daycare!

My precious Sadie was soooo taken care of overnight! The minute I walked in, I knew she wouldn’t do well amongst all the other dogs. The owner said no problem and took her in his arms and said she’ll b fine rooming free with me. Than took her home with him over night and sent me the mist adorable pic of him giving her a belly rub which she loves. Thank u again for giving our Sadie a great stay with you.

Besties is the absolute BEST in caring for my baby girl!! It is hard to believe that anyone could love my dog more than me ... but Gloria, Dom, Ryan and everyone at Besties does. From our first visit my Sunny girl has become part of their family! Words don't adequately describe the trust, comfort, and love my Sunny and I get from everyone at Besties!!

Can’t stop talking about how wonderful this facility is !!! From the moment you and your pet walk in everyone is so welcoming. I toured many other daycares and Besties stands out like no other and go above and beyond filling each day with fun activities and each room is colorful and has a jungle gym!! My rescue we just adopted unfortunately was abused and has some issues related to that and they took the time and patience with her to make sure my dog was comfortable with them first which I so appreciated. Will be recommending to everyone I know !! Thank you !!

The name is perfect--they are the best! Wonderful caretakers to my old, sweet rescue pug. They made his last weeks on earth fun and comfortable.

Gloria and Domingo are phenomenal people. We are new to Besties 4 Paws and I already feel like I'm leaving my little fur baby in the trusted hands of family. Ashley is a doll and we love that our dog was attached to her since day one, but all the employees there are really so great!! As soon as you walk in the door, you can feel the warmth in the air. We needed somewhere for our fur baby to spend some weekdays since we can't always make it home from work to walk her during the day, but we also wanted her brain to be stimulated and for her to get used to being around different people and animals. We couldn't be happier that Besties 4 Paws is right down the road from us, however, now knowing how amazing they are, I would drive a great distance to leave my dog with them. It's a wonderful place. We already notice positive changes in our baby girl!!! The fun crafts and activities Gloria arranges for the pups is just the cherry on top of it all!!! Thank you!!! :)

Our babies Zeus and Athena love Besties 4 Paws 🐾. Gloria is their second mom and we wouldn't leave our babies with anyone else. I.am extremely protective of my babies 🐶. Gloria and Dom are extremely loving and professional. Dogs can sense good vibes. Hands down I wouldn't trust anyone else with my babies and we highly recommend them. ❤️

I worked with Besties 4 Paws in the past when I lived nearby. Now I’m half hour away but there isn’t another place I would trust with my fur babies. I recently went away for a week and left my 2 Poms at Besties 4 Paws. They came back happy & clean (smelled better than when we dropped them off)! We’ll keep taking that extra half hour drive just so we don’t have to worry whenever we are away!! Thank you so much for the great care taken!!

The best ! We drive an hour to come here because they are really the best Great with big breeds- we have a pit and Shepard and they don’t judge when many do Good prices, grooming as well

We have used Gloria and Dom for several years and have always been amazed at the service and love they provide for our fur baby, now Besties 4 Paws is amazing too. Chewy is always happy and we are always treated great. Thanks for another fabulous, no worry, experience.

This is our first time using their services while away in Florida for 6 days. The service is first class and amazing! Gloria and Domingo are not good, they are great! The service, attention to detail, their daily picture updates, and all they did with our little Louie made us feel like he was in his own spa. :) We are beyond pleased as for years we were hoping to find a place like this. The dog or cat owners can go on vacation while being assured their dog or cat is in the best hands possible. If you are looking for a doggy day care or for long term boarding please don't look anywhere else. Give them a call today, as from the moment you meet Gloria and Domingo, they become friends and family! We just can't say enough about the great experience we've had with their service. We highly recommend Besties 4 Paws! As for us we will be using their services moving forward! Best Regards, Dr. Edward Ramirez

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!!!

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.

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 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.

I was looking for someone who would stay overnights with Cleo when I have to travel for work. I'm new in town so I had a lot of anxiety about finding someone trustworthy and skilled, but Jaime put all my worries to rest. She is very easy to work with, pays careful attention to all instructions and sends multiple updates during the day. Cleo took to Jaime right away and did very well while I was away. She didn't show any sign of stress, which was my top priority. Everything worked out perfectly. I'm lucky to have found Jaime.

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.

We have been using ESP Pet Specialists for about 3 years and they are FANTASTIC! They come by 2x a day and feed our 2 senior cats as well as administor their medications without any issues. We love when we receive the AM & PM Pet Journals which include a few photos and text on how the kitties are doing. ESP is an excellent pet service and we highly recommend having them take care of your fur babies while you're away. They truly go above & beyond for your pets!

ESP Pet Specialists are awesome! We hired them to watch our cats while on vacation, and Evan and Anna were great. They truly care for the well-being the pets they care for. They gave us regular updates with photos and were always there when they said they were and paid attention to the notes and instructions we left for them. I highly recommend them, they are trustworthy and so easy to work with.

Everyone at ESP Pet Specialists is amazing. They are professional, caring and will go above and beyond when needed. My pup loves Evan and I know he is getting the best care when I go away and have to leave him. I love getting updates and photos of my pup everyday while I’m away. I have tried various other pet care places. My dog was always withdrawn and nervous when I returned. Now he is his normal self , as if I had just been out for the afternoon, when I return. I would never leave him with anyone else again.

I have a big dog who is very strong and who I’m very particular about who I let around her. From day one Evan has been great and he’s been taking care of Remy for over a year now. I tried Rover and other apps and it was always a terrible experience. Having the flexibility as well as someone I can depend on has really allowed me to have peace of mind. Both Eva and Eva have gone the extra mile, given great care and paid extra attention to my requests and I can’t recommend them enough.

We love Evan, Johnny and the whole team at ESP! Over the last year, ESP has been there for us and Mocha consistently, several times a day, every week, walking him and also working with us as we navigated finding the right food and schedule for our Australian labradoodle puppy. Their dependability, flexibility, and attention to detail has been really differentiated and are attributes that we really value and appreciate. Super caring and reliable. We’ve also boarded Mocha with ESP too and the clear and constant communication flow kept us informed and at ease. Strongly recommend Evan and the team at ESP!!

We are so grateful to have found this service! Our dog Yofi is so happy when we book a walker. We also loved boarding Yofi with them, we got pictures and a story daily and he was so happy! The payment is easy and they are always reliable. We 100% recommend ESP Pet Specialists!

We have been working with ESP Pets for years to watch our dog Tashi! They are always on time, and treat him with lots of care and attention. Tashi is a slow walker and they are patient and adjust to his speed. They are flexible when last minute changes come up and we need an extra walk and are very good about safety. We also love that they offer weekend and holiday walks, something other dog walkers didn’t offer in the area. When we moved to NJ from Brooklyn that was something I was really surprised to find- not everyone has weekend times around here. We are incredibly happy with this service and Tashi is a happy dog! The walkers do a great job with photos and descriptions of the walk, and they are really good with dogs! I strongly recommend this company to anyone looking for a dog walker in the area. It’s a very convenient, reliable and high quality service!

I use ESP Pet Specialist's for overnight dog boarding while I am away. Their website is excellent for requesting your reservation and they respond very quickly. They provide many photo updates while your pet is watched. The sitter, Patty, is incredible. She does an excellent job with my pup in her home and I always know he will be cared for and safe. Her whole family embraces my animal. I highly recommend ESP Pet Specialists for all your pet needs.

If you are looking for a Dog Walking Service then you don't have to look any further than ESP. They are super professional when it comes to their walkers and support. The platform they operate on is extremely user friendly making it easy to schedule and make comments on all requested services. They make it very easy to receive updates on upcoming services, emailed reports immediately after the service is completed and the ability to provide feedback directly to the walker and management. The walkers themselves are great and very responsive and respectful to feedback. They have gone above and beyond for our dogs when it comes to feedings and cleanup (for the occasional accident). From a customer service perspective, they are FIVE STARS! They have helped us on multiple occasions with last minute requests and/or emergencies. The owner (Evan) is very approachable via phone or text when needed. They are also very accommodating when is comes to weekend, holidays and or last minute cancellations. There may be a small fee for these premium requests but they are very reasonable for what you are requesting. Again, can't recommend them enough.

We've been using ESP for about a year and they are the best! Very trustworthy and our dog just loves his walkers. We were nervous about going on vacation because our pup can be anxious and wary with strangers, but Evan and team took the time to get to know our dog and we can now go on vacation knowing our pup is in great hands. Thanks ESP!

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!!!

Couldn't be a more caring, kind service for your pet. Over Christmas, Lisa took the time to buy a particular cat food she thought my cat might eat. He was eating very little at the time & Lisa hoped this might help. I was away & feeling worried & Lisa did all she could to keep me informed & get Shadow back to good health. So grateful.

Lisa and her staff are incredible! We've used Nature's Nanny for various pets over the last several years, and they have always taken great care of them. We appreciate the notes and photos they send after each visit. For our last service, in addition to Lisa taking care of our two cats, we had to make last minute arrangements to have our dog taken care of when my mother-in-law had a medical emergency and couldn't watch him anymore. Lisa was so accommodating, which made us feel so much better about being far away from home. We will continue to use Nature's Nanny for all of our pet care needs whenever we go away for extended periods.

I needed a reliable dog sitter who could give my dog meds twice a day and sometimes doesn't want to take them. Lisa was able to get them down for him. She sends me photos and updates for every visit. My work plans changed and she was able to accommodate that as well. As a dog mom with a dog with health issues, it is a huge sigh of relief to have someone trustworthy and caring taking care of him! Thank you Lisa! 💜

From the second we met with Lisa, we knew we ( and our VERY particular kitty) were in excellent hands! It’s not easy to entrust someone you don’t know personally into your home to take care of your furry family member while you are away. Lisa interviewed us as much as we interviewed her, and we truly felt like her expertise and experience made her an extremely trustworthy caretaker. We couldn’t have been more impressed! Despite the fact that our cat becomes territorial and downright vicious with strangers, Lisa managed to feed, change the litter, and even attempt to socialize with her, while knowing exactly how to handle such a difficult cat. We got a daily log of the day’s activities, as well as pictures and text updates. When we got home, it was obvious that an unbelievable amount of care and attention had gone into her, and she behaved as if we’d never left.( In fact, her litter box was better cared for than I think we even do!) We can not recommend Nature’s Nanny Pet Service and Lisa enough!!!! We have already used her services twice, and will continue to do so in the future.I felt like she cared for our cat as much as we do, and was professionally able to handle her in a way that neighbors and family members were unable to. We are so grateful, and have recommended her to several people, and will continue to do. I highly recommend giving yourself complete peace of mind, and hiring such a fantastic service. I only wish we had found Nature’s Nanny’s Pet Service sooner!

Had a great experience with Nature's Nanny! Lisa took care of our cat while we were on vacation and I couldn't have been more pleased. Her communication is fantastic (daily updates and pictures) and she is so kind and compassionate. We found our new pet sitter!

Luna is our first pet and I was very apprehensive leaving her at first. Lisa came to meet us and put us at ease immediately . She has been back several times and now we have a trusted FRIEND coming in to help . She always sends texts with pictures and leaves a detailed account of her time with Luna . Lisa is the BEST!

Lisa is someone that we trust completely with our boys! We count on her to give insulin injections to our one diabetic cat and she gives them plenty of love and attention while we are gone.

We have used Natures Nanny for 18 + years and Lisa has always been great with all of our cats.

I used this company for 2 years for my high energy dog. They’ve been amazing and I always felt safe with my dog in their hands and them in my home. I can’t recommend highly enough. The only reason I’m stopping is because I’m moving, and if I could take them with me I would!

Lisa provides great dependable care. Has taken care of our kitties for many years. Very trustworthy and caring.

This review is long overdue. We found Dr.Weiner about 3 years ago and followed him when he opened the vet clinic @ Pups at play. He is by the far the best vet I've had in my 20+years of owning dogs. He is knowledgeable and genuine. He checks in between their visits with specialists and is always available if you have any concerns or questions. His staff is also great!!! Can't recommend enough! Thanks for your care Pups @ play!

I can’t say enough great things about the staff at Pups@Play. They genuinely care for the dogs as if they were their own. Every time I drop off my dog, I feel confident knowing they are in safe, loving hands. The team is attentive, professional, and always goes above and beyond to ensure each dog is happy and well cared for. It’s clear they love what they do, and it shows in the way they interact with the pets. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a trustworthy, dog-loving daycare!

I had a great experience at Pups at Play veterinary with Dr. Weiner . He was thorough, compassionate, and took the time to answer any questions I had about my cat’s care. Everything you look for in a veterinarian. He gave me next steps and great recommendations for a specialist. You can tell he truly cares about his patients. I highly recommend him and his team.

I love this place. The staff are friendly, understanding and accommodating. My dog is reactive and sometimes people make me feel bad about that, but they work great with him and help me work better with him. The vet is very knowledgeable and professional. I have referred others there and they took excellent care of her dog in an emergency. I am so glad I have them.

Dr Talik is the best person and Vet I have ever met. She has an amazing sense of what is really going on with my dog ! ALL the time! Every time! My dog is very anxious and has issues that Dr. Talik was able to treat. She is kind, caring! And takes her time explaining everything very clearly. She also gets down to the floor look into my dogs eyes so that she can connect on more than a human level!!! Best experience ever and if your dog has the least bit of anxiety , she is the One !!! Thank you Dr. Talik and I’m so glad I found you and Cooper is also grateful!!

Dr. Weiner and the staff at Pups@Play are outstanding. Dr. Weiner's Yorkie knowledge can only be obtained by actual experience.We traveled from Delaware so our Essex would be cared for by the best for her surgery. Thank goodness we did. Dr. Weiner is amazing. We knew we were in good hands immediately after meeting the Dr. and staff. Thank you to everyone who cared for Essex. We appreciate you!!

I love pups at play! The staff at pups at play are so caring and kind with all of the pups and are great with my girls Maggie and Coco. The groomer Melody is great! Dr. Weiner the vet is amazing. I love that it’s a one stop shop.

I just adopted a cat & went to Pups @Play after MANY recommendations. Dr. Weiner and his staff were friendly, attentive and most of all, thorough. They were gentle and patient and took the time to answer all our questions. I did not feel rushed at all. Very knowledgeable & wonderful with my kitty. I see why everyone sent me here! Highly recommend.

If you are looking for an amazing vet or even a place for day care, Pups @ Play is it! They have the most amazing staff who are passionate about all of the dogs that come to them while also treating the pet parents with the same care. I have been through a handful of medical issues with my dogs and have always felt like my concerns were heard and the amount of followup and reassurance that my dogs are in the best care is above and beyond. I only trust my dogs to be treated by pups at play and specifically Dr. Weiner and his staff. They truly are angels and I'm extremely lucky to have found them!

They are really amazing with our puppy. I also love how it’s a 1 stop shop for all our needs from boarding, training, vet, grooming etc. They are very communicative and really have taken great care of all our pets.

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!
