Dog Sitters in Vernon, NJ

Well, it's the safest, warmest, gentlest place for a pet I'd ever seen or trusted your pets are in great hands. The owner treats me like a son .

Incredibly happy I found Steven and his wife. Had not left my senior Labrador in anyone else's care for nearly 7 years basically because I didn't trust anyone. Knew from our meet & greet that my guy would essentially be on a vacation and receive the care & attention he needs. Grateful about every aspect of his stay. Thank you!

Our Home Dog Boarding is the best "cage-less" kennel care your pet will receive. I boarded my dog with one of the sponsor families and she was absolutely wonderful. The process is easy. Steve will set you up with a meet and greet with the family who is approved by Steven himself, if all goes well you set the date and drop off your dog and his/her things to the host. I've boarded my dog several times and have never had an issues at all. Such a great concept and very affordable.

So very highly recommended. The personal attention and care Stephen and his team of people (especially Diane) that open their homes to my dog is above and beyond expectations. My dog has fairly severe separation anxiety and Stephen has the patience to understand him and our situation and accommodate and care for him in so many ways that make him comfortable. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my child is with people that understand, appreciate him and work hard to make him as comfortable as possible. He and his team are true dog lovers and understanders; consistently and thankfully accommodating to my and my dogs personal situation. I very highly recommend!

I met Steve Linn when I had a rather old, very sick Brittany. I had previously used Lakeside Kennels for years, but I did not want to leave him there to go on a long vacation when he became ill. I saw a business card that Steve had posted on a message board at my gym. I called him and started interviewing some of Steve's dog hosts. We found a perfect place with a host who did older dogs and took them on many short walks a day and spent the rest of his time at home with all the dog beds lying in front of him. It was the perfect place for my dog. Unfortunately Zeke has gone to the rainbow bridge. Now I have Elvis a 2 1/2 year old Brittany. I have left him with two different hosts at Christmas and have been very happy with both experiences. I wouldn't consider leaving him anywhere else. Now Steve is making mailboxes with your dog's face and body surrounding it. This mailbox is a big hit with my family and all my family and neighbors who have seen it. I am sure you will find a picture of it on Steve website. It is the one with the gorgeous orange brittany on it.

I cannot say enough great things about this service. Dianne (Grandma) was fantastic. The fact that a meet and greet with your dog before you leave them is very comforting as it gave me peace of mind knowing ahead of time that our Maggie would be happy there. The process from start to finish was easy and efficient. Did not have to wait for responses to inquiries. Just wished Grandma lived next door, such a lovely person.

Both Rhett Butler and I are thoroughly enjoying your service! I can see the difference in him when I pick him up from the boarders (Kim and Diane). He is carefree. In the past as much as I liked the service I used; when I picked him up he was anxious and it was apparent that he'd been over licking his forearms. When I travel I don't even worry about him now. I have peace of mind. Thank you!

Bentley loves visiting for both day care and boarding!!

Our dog loves Our Home Dog Boarding

I’m so impressed with the care they take with our fur babies. From the initial temperament evaluation for day care, to the vaccination requirements, to the cage free boarding, and to the grooming (Mary is so affectionate and caring), I can’t say enough good things about them. I’m a customer for life ❤️

I can’t recommend Villa La PAWS enough! From the moment our puppy arrived for his first evaluation, I felt reassured by their caring staff. They took the time to learn about my dog’s needs and routines, which made all the difference. We really love logging into the webcams while we are away—it really puts our mind at ease knowing our boy was safe and happy. The staff at Villa La PAWS treats my dog like one of their own, which I greatly appreciate. They truly put my mind at ease and I have no doubts that our pup will spend many years growing up with his Villa La PAWS family!

Best Place for my Two Beagles-Benny and Jet! Going on three years- three days a week daycare and boarding for two weeks twice!!! Every one loves the pups and cats! They know their names and their likes and dislikes. They are the best!

I’m always hesitant to leave my Husky with anyone that I don’t know well, but there are times that it’s impossible to avoid. I’ve left her at one or two other kennels and she was confined to an area similar to what you may find in a rescue shelter. Alone and isolated from other dogs. Villa La Paws is an amazing facility. Not only do they allow the dogs to interact all day, they also followed my instructions to give her a puzzle, that I provided, each night, to keep her mentally stimulated. If she doesn’t get her puzzle she will demand in no uncertain terms, that you’ve not fulfilled your responsibility to keep her happy. 😃 They also have a fairly well developed and strict vetting policy. Must have all shots current and spend at least two sessions in daycare. All this to keep the animals safe and fully protected. Once you’ve tried the best, forget the rest. I won’t take my Husky anywhere else.

I want to thank all the staff at VLP for providing excellent care to my dog,Isley! Isley has been attending daycare for 1 year and he loves it! Daycare was recommended because Isley is timid around other dogs and people. He needs the socialization so he can learn how to be a dog. We affectionately refer to VLP as school and we refer to the staff as "teachers". As soon as I ask Isley if he's ready to go to school, he starts jumping and barking with excitement. Yesterday, I checked the camera and noticed that he was sleeping on a blanket. I was happy that he felt comfortable and relaxed enough to take a nap. He usually walks and jumps all day when I see him. I don't know what was happening but Isley backed up and hunched his back in fear when other dogs came to him. Maybe the other dogs wanted the blanket? I could clearly see that Isley was frightened. The teacher, Nicole ,came over immediately to make sure everything was ok and Isley was not being bullied. I was impressed by how attentive she was! Nicole and the entire staff pay close attention to what's going on in the room and I love that! I very much appreciate the love and caring that the staff shows Isley and all the other dogs! I've seen how gentle and patient the staff is with older sicker dogs and it absolutely warms my heart! Thank you for training your staff to be the very best! It definitely shows and we truly appreciate you! If you have to get on a waiting list,VLP is worth the wait! Isley attended 2 other daycares before VLP and neither experience was positive. One daycare had a horrible stench and was dirty. There was no limit on the dogs and it was like a huge dog warehouse-horrible! The other daycare was pretty and fancy but the staff was cold to my dog and they never tried to show him any attention / love. One day I came to pick him up and the staff told me that I was wasting my money because Isley doesn't socialize with other dogs. What?? All dogs don't play together if he's not used to other dogs. Isley is friendly and loving but he just stays to himselfand that's fine. That was his last day there! I called VLP and got him on the waiting list and the rest is history!

We have been going to Villa La Paws for 4 years now. I can’t say enough good things about Mike And his staff. They treat your pup with respect and always make sure they are safe when playing. They have boarding and grooming available. We have used all the facilities. They also don’t crate the dogs when they board they stay in rooms with other pups they get along with. I am sure you will love this place

Great place. I took my pug❤️ for grooming. The service was great. Mary as our groomer, she was kind and took good care of our baby. The price was reasonable, cheaper than the chain store groomers. The waiting list for day care and boarding is very long we are number 260 and something....

This is the best doggy daycare/boarding around. Careful attention to detail and consideration of the temperament of dogs and I just love the vibes! Feels like family and my dog LOVESSSS to go.

This facility has been a godsend for my family when we are in need of daycare or boarding. Our dog is afraid of crates, so this crate free facility has been such a gentle, comfortable way for us to board our dog! Wonderful employees who really care about the animals and plenty of playtime and socialization for the pups.

Absolutely great place to keep your pup when away. The staff truly are dog lovers and always one “human” in each room the dogs are in. They have plenty of indoor and outdoor space to play and sleep time in open rooms with couches. And best part is live camera feeds in each room so you can see your pup anytime from wherever in the world you are.

My pup Remy had a fantastic stay with Suite Pups! I appreciate how detailed the intake process was. It's very clear how much care Vikki puts into finding the right person to watch your pet. I got regular photos and text updates about my dog which really helped me feel comfortable and confident about his stay. I'm a bit of an anxious dog mom so I really appreciated the updates. I also loved the little report card we got at the end of the week! Overall an excellent experience and we will certainly be using Suite Pups again!

Our puppy Molly had the best experience with her host family, thanks to the great pairing that Vikki handled for us. We received pictures, videos and updates about what Molly was up to. She was loved and well taken care of and had so much fun while we were away. I highly recommend using Suite Pups if you are in need of having your pup cared for while you are away. I will definitely use them again for our next vacation. It was great peace of mind knowing she was with a family and being loved on!

Vikki and Michael took care of our dog while we were away and we could not have been more pleased with the service! We received regular pictures and updates and loved how Vikki took our dog in like she was her own. We felt comfortable knowing the care that our pup was receiving and knew she was feeling love while we weren't with her. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Suite Pups and Vikki are everything you could ask for and more. She is so kind and thorough ensuring your dog gets setup with the perfect match and resembles everyday life. She's incredibly communicative and you feel like a family member is taking care of your pup. Very fortunate to have someone like Vikki and Suite Pups in the area

Our pups had a great stay with their Suite Pups host! We got happy dog updates and photos while we were away. And Vikki’s attention to details about our dogs made us comfortable that our host would know all about them while we were away. We will be repeat customers soon!

Bella's stay with Suite Pups was her first! Vikki exceeded my expectations caring for Bella . Unfortunately, Bella is anxious and afraid during storms and there were storms each day of her stay. But Vikki and her family were understanding of her needs -- including Bella hiding in the laundry room or even a clothes closet. Notable is the fact that Bella was experiencing feeding issues at home prior to her stay. Vikki prepared beef, rice, and pumpkin to soothe her upset stomach! I appreciated daily pictures and final report /assessment and recommendations . Vikki is knowledgeable and experienced! She is willing to work with pet parents to provide the best care for their furry companions! I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing that our girl was with a loving family and engaged in her usual activities. I wish I had known about this service sooner! I highly recommend Suite Pups to all pet parents!

We are so glad to have been introduced to Suite Pups! Our dog Humphrey has such a great time when he stays with his host family, and we get so many wonderful pics and videos during his stay to prove it. Vikki is such a pleasure to work with. She goes above and beyond to ensure your pet is matched to a compatible host family, and makes the process so easy by scheduling pickups and drop offs by her team to transport your pet. We love having such a safe and comfortable home for our dog to stay at, and know that he’s in great hands while we’re out of town! Thank you Vikki and team!! :)

Such a great experience. This was our first trip since getting a dog and it was so comforting to know our puppy was being cared for by a loving family rather than caged in a kennel for large parts of the day/night during our vacation. Vikki provided daily updates and pictures to show how much of a good time Chloe was having. We absolutely look forward to using Suire Pups again!

Suite pups is our Ruby’s home away from home. They treat your dog as one of their own. Ruby actually got to sleep in her hosts’ bed just like she does with us at home. They keep you updated with photo’s with how much fun your dog is having. I think once she returns to home, she actually misses her host family for a few days. It’s a great feeling to leave on vacation and know your dog is being cared for by a loving family, someone who loves her as much as you do. She smelled so good on her return , they actually gave her a bath and brushed her teeth. We feel so lucky to have found Vikki and Suite Pups. Pick up and home delivery is so convenient. Don’t go anywhere else.

Vikki and her team were excellent to work with. They provided consistent communication about Ms. Coco and relieved any type of worry or concern I had with her being in a new home. I have already referred some of my friends to work with Suite Pups and look forward to working with them again on my next trip. Thank you guys for everything including the detailed report card :).

Cody at PT’s Pet Sitting is AMAZING. I was so nervous leaving my 3 babies for two weeks. I found PT through Google reviews and gave them a call. I met with Cody and knew immediately my kitties were in good hands. Cody took EXCELLENT care of my babies. They received tons of love and attention. I even received photos of them when I was away. HIGHLY RECOMMEND and TRUSTED!! I will 💯 use Cody next time I travel. He’s the BEST!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s

We’ve moved a fair bit up and down the east coast. We always worried about finding reliable, caring, and compassionate pet care. PT’s came highly recommended shortly after we moved to Voorhees, NJ - we never looked back. Kevin and Tracy are kind, caring, compassionate people that have a deep love for animals. Kevin has done countless dog walks and drop-in visits when we were out of town. Oksana (8yr old lab mix) in particular can be a bit wary of new people and he won her over quickly. Maeve (5 yr old hound mix) quickly learned their walk schedule and eagerly would check the windows for his arrival - with Oksana joining in too! As soon as his car would pull into the driveway she would start with her excited hound noises. Unfortunately we lost Oksana quickly after an unexpected illness in July 2024. As part of her remembrance I went through to find videos important to us. Among those was the last time Kevin got to say hi to her - despite her being sick it’s clear how much she adored him and how excited she was to see him. We view PT’s as part of our extended family - it’s not easy to trust others to care for your fur babies as you would. PT’s however has a heart of gold. Thank you Kevin for all the wonderful memories and love you’ve given to our family ❤️ p.s. added photos including of latest additions - Sasha (5mo ACD mix) & Lisbon + Venice (4mo tabby kittens)

I can’t thank PT’s Pet Sitting Service enough for their exceptional dog-walking service, and especially Kevin for taking such amazing care of my dogs, Zoose and Zoey! What I love about PT’s Pets is that you always get the same dog-walker with every visit which makes me and my dogs feel very safe and comfortable. Kevin is kind, incredibly reliable, always on time, and treats my dogs as if they were his own. Zoose and Zoey absolutely adore him and always look forward to their walks every week. He is so flexible when my schedule changes and even ready to come out twice in a day if needed to feed and walk Zoose and Zoey. The love, attention, care, and exercise they get have made such a positive difference in their happiness and well-being. Kevin truly treats them like family members and even gave them a stuffed animal gift during the holidays that they love to play fetch with! Some dog walkers spend more time on their phone, taking pictures of the dogs instead of watching, caring and walking them. This worries me because of the close proximity to the animal shelter and the larger dogs that are walked by Volunteers. My dogs love to bark at them and especially Zoey who just wants to run towards them and interact. But not Kevin-he is so attentive and never leaves the dogs out of his sight. I love this about PT’s Pets - Kevin leaves a physical note afterwards on the counter letting me know how Zoose and Zoey did during their walk which gives me peace of mind. I always know they’re in great hands. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional service, I highly recommend PTs Pets! Liz

This pet sitting service is the best. Especially our dog walker Kevin. Our white pug Fanny absolutely loves him and waits at the door for his arrival. PT service is reliable. Affordable. Knowledgeable. Kind and affectionate to our pets. They are also very honest and trustworthy.

PT's Pet Sitting Service is, by far, the best pet sitters we have used! Tracy is very accommodating and Kevin takes great care of our dogs and we wouldn't trust anyone else with our fur babies. Kevin spends time walking them (even though we have a Fence and has told him he could just let them out back), feeding them and making sure they are doing okay. We usually book with plenty of notice but if an emergency comes up, I call tracy or Kevin and they help us out! Jack also helps with our dogs and has been a great dog sitter giving our dogs all the love they need. He also sends us amazing photos of our dogs.

Kevin has taken care of of my two dogs since they were pups! He currently comes everyday while I’m at work to let them out. If you could see how excited they are to see him- tails wagging! Going over to him for some petting! My girls both love him so much! And I trust him! He does extra things like brings in the garbage cans. Such a wonderful person!

Kevin has been absolutely wonderful with my 2 dogs. He’s reliable and always able to help with last minute needs. I have one dog who is really nervous and he worked with her to gain her trust. I would definitely recommend PT Pets to anyone who needs some help with their dogs.

PT’s Pets have been in our family for the past 15 years and have taken excellent care of our dog, Birch, every week - since he was a pup. Birch loves them and with good reason, so do we. PT’s Pets - Kevin, Tracy and team are wonderful human beings who provide outstanding, reliable, and competent care. They don't just show up - they provide an invaluable, professional service and always exceed expectations. We know our dog is shown love and well cared for when we are away and they keep an eye the house, too. PT’s Pets is simply the best pet sitting service around. If we could give more than 5 stars...⭐️❤️🐾🐕

PT’s, and even more specifically dog walker Kevin has provided my pup with such high quality and compassionate care!! We are so thankful for all the love and care he has provided!! We hope to see you again, and will be keeping you in my prayers!!

PT Pet Sitting came highly recommended to me by my sister, who had used their services for a couple years with wonderful results. I’ve been using their services for about two years, and I can’t say enough good things. They are highly reliable, extremely caring, kind, responsive, honest, professional and flexible. My two Airedales enjoy their own home when I’m away, and I have peace knowing they are well cared for and relaxed. They even work with me to have an emergency plan in place. It’s been a blessing finding PT Pet Sitting. I highly recommend them.

Phenomenal! Diana truly enjoys her time with our doggies family. Professional with great customer service. No worries about our doggies with her. Highly recommended.

To say Theo loves camp bow wow is an understatement! The excitement he gets when we even go near that area makes us laugh, but also really happy. Knowing that he likes going there makes it easier to do him off. But as much as he loves it so do we!! Heidi and her staff go above and beyond and treat each dog like they’re their own. I will never take my dog anywhere else and I tell anyone who ask that this is the place to go! Take your dog here and trust me they’ll love you forever!

Our dog Ace loves coming to Camp Bow Wow. Whether it’s for day camp or overnight boarding I know he is in good hands. The camp counselors are the nicest and most kind people, they make drop off and pick ups as smooth as possible. They go above and beyond when it comes to 1on1 time, holiday treats, etc and I would recommend them to anyone looking for top notch dog care.

Abby and I love Camp Bow Wow…. For the last 9 years, Abby has enjoyed her weekly fun session with her friends-both furry and human. And I have the assurance that she is well-cared for.

Camp Bow Wow is clean and well-staffed! The hours are flexible to accommodate busy schedules. Love being able to watch my dogs!

We dropped off our boy Ace for his interview and we were blow away by camp bow wow! The consulars are so nice and educated and the facility is great. After our pup passed his interview we immediately signed him up for a week of boarding and purchased 3 days passes and a grooming session as well. I know Ace can’t wait to get back there and play.

Our dog Oliver loves Camp Bow Wow! The staff is wonderful and welcoming, always greets our pup by name. He’s always so excited when we pull into the parking lot, and immediately falls asleep when he gets home! Highly recommend!

The staff is very friendly and welcoming and I feel comfortable leaving my dogs with them. The boys are always excited to go and tuckered out when they come home which means they had fun playing and running around. The staff is also very responsive and easy to reach for any reason. I love being able to check in on the dogs whenever I want as well.

Our dog (Teddy) is always thrilled to come to camp bow wow. The woman at the front desk is always wonderful and greets our pup by name as he walks in (wish I remembered her name but she is awesome). Teddy is always worn out by the end of his stay from playing but sad to leave. Love the cameras as well.

Went in for a tour with our new 5 month old puppy. Never got a tour. Receptionist told us we had to have our dog for 2 months before they were able to house him. Wh couldn't she tell us that over phone.🙄🙄 …

Everyone at Camp Bow Wow loves dogs (you can tell!), so I am very comfortable leaving my dog with them. Whether it’s only for the day or for a whole week while we’re out of town, I know that Barney will be safe, happy and have a blast!

Michelle is easy to work with and very flexible with her scheduling. She treats my two lap dogs with kindness and love. When she finishes walking or dog sitting Chloe and Coco, Michelle will update me on how their time together went. When I tell my babies that Michelle is coming today, they get excited and always wag their tails. Michelle handles my babies like they are her own, and I truly appreciate that! She is trustworthy and will ease any of your worries regarding pet care! She is a blessing to my family!!! Without hesitation, I recommend Michelle to assist you in your pet care needs.

If your looking for a loving, caring pet sitter Michele is the one you should definitely go with. Michele has been taking wonderful care for our dogs. Our first dog was Lady who was diabetic and required shots, which Michele was excellent at and Lady loved and trusted her. Years later we now have an another rescue her name is “Bailie” and she absolutely loves being with Michele. I just can’t say enough about how trustworthy honest & caring a person she is. Thank you Franny

Michelle has done a fantastic job for us. Super reliable, great with our fussy cat, sends us pictures while we are away. We wouldn’t use anyone else. I have someone real close to our house that hires teenagers to do the work for her. I don’t want strangers in my house. Michelle does her own work and I really trust her.

Michelle is the best. She is very reliable and trustworthy. She treats my dog Phoebe as if she were her own. She always follows up with a text and sometimes a photo saying all is good 🩷🐶🐾 I highly recommend Tailwaggers! …

We love Michele and Tailwaggers! Michele is amazing with our crew and whenever we travel we know our dogs and cats will be well taken care of and relaxed and happy upon our return! We use her whenever we travel and highly recommend! If you value peace of mind knowing that your furry family members are in good hands you’ll want to go with Michele and Tailwaggers!!

I’ve been using Michele for almost 10 years now. 6 years with my first dog, and now with my 2 new dogs. She’s reliable, totally trustworthy, and my dogs love her! I know for a fact that she really engages and plays with the dogs when she comes to your home. And she’s so willing to work around my changing work schedule with no problems. I highly recommend!

This was my first time using Michele for my cat, Flynn. She was good with him during my vacation. I appreciated that she sent me pictures of Flynn each day she was with him. She followed my Instructions and left my home in good shape. I'll use Michele again for future trips.

Michele was great! We needed a pet-sitter for about 5 days to take care of our troubled child-a black, feral cat with anger issues. She braved morning and evening rush hour traffic in order to give him 1/2 hour feedings twice a day, change his litter, and attempt to play with him. Unfortunately, he was often hiding when she'd come. He, also, attempted to bite her a couple of times, and growled quite a bit, but by the third day, her warm ways began to coax him out into the light. She sent us photos, so that we could see his progress. When we arrived back home, the house was in great shape with no destruction, and Batman was just as we left him, and maybe, a little less troubled. If you're looking for an exemplary pet-sitter, Michele at Tailwagger's Pet Sitting Services is the best, and she's beyond trustworthy. We'll definitely be using her again,, if she'll have us. P.S. Tom's wife wrote this.

Michele is an Angel!! We were so nervous to leave our 3 Pomeranian for two weeks but Michele took such great care of them. She notified us every time she went to visit them and when we got home they were clean, healthy and happy! Usually my Lacie (the smallest white Pom) has a rough time when we’re away and doesn’t eat but Michele worked her magic and Lacie had no problem. We plan to use her services every time we need to leave town. Thank you Michele!!

Michele is so great with my bunnies, she is extremely loving, caring and always so cautious. She takes the very best care of my babies always! She gives me peace of mind anytime that I need to go away, because I know they are in the very best of hands! She is a true blessing and is highly recommended to be trusted with anyone’s pets!
