Pet Sitters in Ridgewood, NJ

A really wonderful company that provides meaningful service and care to our beloved dogs whenever we have to leave them for a few hours and they need a potty break and hugs until we get back home. Alissa has been our sitter and she is absolutely the best! Our dogs love her and she is like a trusted family member to us. We can’t say enough great things about Wags as a company overall, and about Alissa as a caring and diligent pet sitter.

Wag 4 Tails are a fantastic company! They take such great care of my cats and send daily updates which I look forward to receiving.Communication is responsive. Booking is easy. Paying for service is easy too. I have no worries when Wag 4 Tails is caring for my fur babies. I think they are terrific!!!

Wags 4 Tails has been incredible for our two older dogs—reliable, trustworthy, and caring. After nearly two years of flawless service, I feel completely at ease knowing our pets are treated like gold. Highly recommend!

Wags for Tails is amazing! We have been using them for three years. They are reliable and my pup adores the walkers. They are also flexible and helped us when we had a family emergency and needed to travel last minute. Wags for Tails makes my life easier!

My 2 pups were attended to with such care, love, time spent on walks & had all of their needs met! It was a relief to know they were happy & feeling cared about, so we could enjoy our time away🐶 …

Maria and the Wag4Tails team are simply the best. I have tried others, but none come close to Wag4Tails. I trust them implicitly with my big dogs Finn and Coal to be sure they are always well cared for when I need help. It's great to know you don't have to worry... first about people showing up and then taking care of all the little things that matter. I highly recommend the Wag4Tails team!

All of the sitters are great. Patty Ulrich is especially amazing as she has been helping us with two dogs.

can not reccommend highly enough-local compnany that provide excellent serviceto our furbaby Otis and are always professional,reliable and and trustworthy; they give feedback after every visit complete with details and pictures. It is very obvious that all members of thier team love what they do-highly reccomend without any reservation for all your dogwalking and pet sitting services -Otis's family

donna oneil treats my lil ollie like he is her own... she is kind, thoughtful and amazing.. as are all of the wag4tails team. thanks for taking such good care of my old guy..

We are new to Wag 4 Tails. My dog loves Emily and she is wonderful to work with.

My pup Kirby had a wonderful time at Laura’s house while we were away. Laura and her family were kind and loving and I knew Kirby was in a safe and fun place. The daily pics and videos were so nice too. I highly recommend them and will use their services again.

I have used Glen Rock Dog Sitters on several occasions. I always know that he is in good hands when I drop him off. From the very beginning, they were always professional, kind, communicative and made sure to understand my dog's routine and needs. They regularly kept me updated with pictures and messages, which gave me peace of mind. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving dog sitter. I will definitely be booking with them again in the future!

The best! My pup Rikki considers them his second family. A family of true dog lovers whom you can trust to give your pup lots of love and personal attention. My little guy is always thrilled to see them, and I can rest assured knowing he's safe and happy in their care.

we absolutely love Kevin and Laura and so does our dog Franny! every time I drop her off at their house she runs in without even looking back at me ! Laura sends me updates and photos daily and I know that our franny is in great hands! I am very selecting when it comes to dog sitters for my dog and i’ve turned down a number of dog sitters and noarding places but I am 100% happy leaving her with Kevin and Laura. if you are looking for great dog sitters that will treat your dog like your own - look no further !

Thank you Jeff for the 5 Stars! We can't wait to get B back on the calendar soon.

I cannot recommend a better local dog walker! Mike makes it easy to schedule walks in advance and on an as-needed basis. All of the walkers are lovely and my dog is so excited when they arrive!

Have had a good experience here , the groomers appear friendly and my dog always seems happy when she comes out. We always discuss the look prior to getting her haircut. Only taking 1 star off because my poodle was not really given the haircut agreed upon prior to the groom. Usually they’re pretty good, but this time around, they trimmed all the hair off the ears. Just hope next time they let me know if the decision was made because she was too matted or needed the trim. I also don’t like that they don’t brush their teeth. Overall good experience with these groomers and seem like they care to treat the dogs well.

Madison Dog Resort is amazing! The staff is so caring, and the facility is spotless and thoughtfully designed. Our French Bulldog loves it here and always comes home happy. We especially appreciate the updates and photos they send. Highly recommend for top-notch pet care!

Picked up my dog from this place and he was dirty and had a mark on his face didn’t think much of it until after we washed him we noticed he had a bite mark on his face that looked like they had cleaned up well. After bringing the dog to the vet it turned out to be a dog bite and the spa never said anything about it but definitely knew about it . Needless to say I won’t be using there facility . again after barely being able to stand how bad the smell is inside and not disclosing my dog was injured and felt like they were waiting for us to notice if we saw the bite but it didn’t start to show until we cleaned him .

My dog loves going to the Madison (or the "bark bark" as he knows it). Whenever I mention that we're going to the bark bark, he gets so excited and is ready to bolt out the door. I know he plays hard and has a great time because he takes a big nap on the ride home. The humans at the Madison are great, too! They also do grooming, which is so convenient and my little guy gets to have some playtime before he gets his haircut. Definitely recommend!

We absolutely LOVE the Madison! We board our Boxer puppy here when we go away. The owner Ryan went above and beyond for us ..being the first time we were so nervous to leave her. Highly highly recommend the Madison for your pup! Great experience overall!

I am so thrilled to have found the Madison for my dog, Bowie! This was my first time boarding him since rescuing him last year, and I was more nervous than he was! When I picked him up, he was clean from his bath, well cared for, and had an absolute blast playing with his new doggie friends! I can’t recommend this enough for any dog owner. Thank you Madison Dog Resort & Spa for taking such amazing care of my boy. We will absolutely be back!

I love the Madison - it has been a Godsend when my dog is full of energy and I don't have time for a long walk, or if I am out for the day - so much nicer for them to be with other dogs and people. They supervise the dogs and give helpful feedback. It is clean and the people who work there are consistently friendly and not a lot of turnover so they are familiar faces and really get to know your dog. Kelly and the grooming staff are also really great - one of my dogs is really difficult to handle for baths but Kelly is always able to do it and never complains about her! Victor who runs The Madison is a really great person - cares very much about the business!

I absolutely LOVE the Madison! The staff is wonderful and caring! I feel completely confident in their dedication and love for dogs. The facility is clean and the staff is always taking such great care of the dogs. My dog gets so excited when we turn the corner heading to doggie daycare at the Madison! They have become like family!

Absolutely love The Madison! My dog has been going since he was old enough. He’s grown up at The Madison and enjoys his time there. The staff treats him like their own. They are so nice and very knowledgeable. I’ve learned so much from them . Being a first time dog owner, they have been a huge help . I recommend The Madison to everyone I know . I love being a part of The Madison family!

We had a great experience with sending our dog to The Madison in Hawthorne. The staff took great care of him! There is always someone with the dogs and make sure they are playing appropriately. They offer grooming which we took advantage of a few times. We mainly used it for care while both my husband and I were at work. One thing to note is that our dog had issues with his paws getting worn down on the floors causing us to not be able to bring him there as often as we would have liked. Overall I would highly suggest using The Madison for your needs.

Brittanie and the Paw Pals team took such good care of our boys. We were able to spend a nice weekend away without having to worry if our pups were okay. We received a daily report card with a photo to keep us updated. I wouldn't take my pups anywhere else ♡ Thank you, Paw Pals!

I can never saw enough about how truly wonderful Paw Pals is! From the dog walking service, to the daycare, to the overnight home stays and the boarding, we have done it all and each time has been wonderful. They truly treat your pet like their own. Our dog is now 10 and has always been a nervous type. The team at Paw Pals is always so patient and kind and loving with him. I always love getting the reports with how sweet he was with them too! I have and will continue to recommend Paw Pals to all of my friends and family. It is the only place when we leave our pup, we never have to think twice! Paw Pals has helped us for our wedding, birth of our kids, vacations and everything in between. Brittanie and her team are the best at what they do!! Thank you Paw Pals for being so amazing and the best at what you do!

Paw Pals provided excellent care for Nala while I was away! Given that she's a working line German Shepherd, I was worried about meeting her mental and physical activity needs during boarding. However, Paw Pals kept her active, engaged, and stimulated with walks, puzzles, and playtime. Brittanie was incredibly responsive and reassuring when I checked in, even sending extra photos for my peace of mind. They continuously refine and improve their practices to be inclusive of all types of dogs, from their daycare program and individual enrichment activities to on-site training and even micro groups for selective dogs. Their commitment to providing tailored care that meets each dog's unique needs sets them apart from the rest. Thank you Paw Pals!

I can not thank the Paw Pals team enough. We got our puppy in the middle of winter, so it was challenging to find ways to help him socialize with other dogs and people. I am so happy we found Paw Pals! Jet was nervous the first time he walked in, but after that, he always walked in with a smile and a wagging tail! They are very accommodating when we send him (3-4 times a month). We don’t send him often, but the few times he has attended daycare shows that it helped him feel comfortable around new dogs and people. We feel at ease knowing he is with kind professionals, exercising and socializing, and the pictures they send us make our day. I can tell the owner is diligent with whom she hires and is a kind and caring professional. Their website is straightforward and easy to navigate. We are going on a few vacations over the summer and plan on sending him here with complete trust that he will be happy and on vacation, too! Thank you Paw Pals!!

The Paw Pals team has been excellent taking care of my pup as I transition back to working in the office! From the dog walking team to the day care and boarding team not only do they keep me updated but they keep my dog very happy. The team also is very accommodating when my schedule changes. And I get the cutest photos! Thanks Paw Pals!

Paw Pals is the best - our dogs love to go there. The last time we boarded them, Paw Pals literally saved our summer vacation - one of our dogs needed a visit to the vet while we were away (non serious but needed to go) and the owner took her for us so we didn’t have to disappoint our kids and cut our trip short. They always take great care of our babies and go above and beyond.

To say Paw Pals is an amazing day care/boarding facility would be an understatement. I have trusted Brittanie and her team with my fur baby since 2021. The Paw Pals team have loved on and cared for my baby as if he is truly apart of their family. I have always been exceptionally pleased and grateful for their care, attention to detail with enrichment activities and the health & welfare of my fur baby, and frequent updates/communication to include pictures. Joey loves going to “school” to see his friends and the staff. Thank you, Paw Pals for being a reliable, trustworthy, safe, and fun establishment! I can’t say enough— thank you for working with me and last minute bookings, taking care of Joey if I was across or out of the country or simply running boring, adult errands! You all are awesome and appreciated!

My two dogs totally enjoy their time spent at Paw Pals. They love coming and can’t get inside fast enough to play with staff and friends. Staff is super friendly and always make me feel as though my guys are welcome there. It’s the best doggy day care I have ever used.

I am thrilled to share my outstanding experience with Paw Pals From the moment I walked in, I knew my furry friend was in excellent hands. The staff at Paw Pals are not just pet caregivers; they are true animal lovers who go above and beyond to ensure every dog feels like a VIP. The facility is clean, spacious, and equipped with everything a dog could dream of, from cozy beds to fun toys and engaging activities. What sets Paw Pals apart is their personalized care and attention to each dog's individual needs. Whether it's playtime, socialization, or just some extra cuddles, the staff always make sure every dog is happy and comfortable. I have complete peace of mind knowing that my furry companion is safe and having a blast at Paw Pals The regular updates and photos they provide throughout the day are a wonderful touch that keeps me connected and reassured. If you're looking for a top-notch doggie day care where your pet will be treated like family, look no further than Paw Pals . I highly recommend them to any pet parent seeking a safe and loving environment for their furry friend. Thank you, paw Pals , for being a home away from home for my beloved pet!

Paw pals exceeded our expectations! This was our first experience boarding our extremely nervous dog and the entire staff took such good care of our dog and our family! They sent two report cards a day with a written and picture update and made us feel so at ease while we were away on our vacation. Our family would highly recommend paw pals to anyone looking for care for their dog!! We will absolutely be using them again in the future and appreciate all the love and care that they put into caring for animals!

We cannot say enough good things about bad 2 the bone & Sammy! Sammy has pet sat for us twice for 5 days each time and was so attentive - she made sure to send us updates all throughout the day with pictures of our pup. We felt extremely at ease knowing our dog was in such good hands. She has also been walking our dog regularly and our dog gets so excited when she sees Sammy!

Rebecca went above and beyond while taking care of my dog. Not only did she provide excellent care, but she also went out of her way to make him feel extra special, like surprising him with a yummy dog bone and giving him all the attention and love he needed. It was clear she genuinely cared about his well-being, and her thoughtful touches made a big difference. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in her capable hands. Highly recommend her services!

Rebecca is very gentle, patient and caring with our dog. She always goes above and beyond whenever we have used her services. She was kind enough to accommodate us on same day requests as well. Our dog loves going on walks with her and would highly recommend her to anyone! She sends pictures of the dog during walks and also notes detailing the walk which is a plus. Overall extreme happy and satisfied with her services.

Pet Haven was awesome!! Rebecca took the time to really bond with my dogs. They were actually happy to see her when she came to spend time with them. She sent me a wonderful note with details of each visit along with photos of the dogs every time she spent time with them. She took the dogs on walks when she saw they were hesitant with a stranger and knowing this made me feel so comfortable during my vacation. I will definitely use Pet Haven again and would recommend them to my friends and family! Pet Haven is Jax & Crew approved 🐶🐾💙

Rebecca watched both of my cats while I traveled abroad with my family. I received pictures daily and updates. When I returned after two weeks, they truly grew fond of her, I could tell. I noticed she genuinely cares about animals, and that is extremely important. She was very responsible when tending to their care, and she even purchased a few items for them which she felt they needed, such as toys and scratch boards. They loved them. I would refer Rebecca to anyone.

Rebecca is outstanding, she is truly passionate about her love for animals. My dog, Molly, loves her visits and care. They immediately bonded with each other. I feel at ease knowing Rebecca is caring for my dog. Rebecca is friendly, knowledgeable, and goes above and beyond to help as needed. Thank you Rebecca.

As a pet owner who is way too attached to her cat, I enthusiastically recommend Rebecca as a conscientious and caring pet sitter. I know that she will care for Teddy as I would. I am comfortable leaving Teddy with Rebecca because she really relates to each animal individually. When I leave Teddy, it is important for me to know that more than his basic needs will be satisfied. The affection that he receives from Rebecca makes his separation from our family less stressful. Samara

We are delighted with the exceptional care that Rebecca has provided for our beloved dog, Marlowe. Marlowe is always thrilled to see her and eagerly lays down for belly rubs when she arrives. Rebecca is highly responsive and efficient in her communication. We have complete confidence in her and trust that she will keep Marlowe content and safe. Also, Rebecca's fantastic app also sends lovely photos and makes the entire process seamless. - Aaron

Rebecca is amazing!! She is our go-to when we go away… she is super reliable, a great communicator and so loving with my two doggies. She is very in tune with what the dogs needs are and we love getting her great reports & pics after each visit! Highly recommend!!

Rebecca was amazing. Her attention to detail and the great summaries and pics from each visit made my time away from my fur babies so much easier. She really got to know my pets and even took the time to research the best snacks for the bearded dragon. She will be my first call from now on!

Our mini goldendoodle is such a nervous and scared little lady, and besides our immediate family, she won’t warm up to others and will retreat or hide in fear. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to find a dog walker up for the challenge of winning over Marlowe, that is, until we met Rebecca. Rebecca is such a kind, intuitive woman and every day she took her time and followed Marlowe’s cues to get her comfortable. After a week, Marlowe found a new best friend and she is excited every day when Rebecca comes for her, rolling over to get a belly rub and showering her with affection. We just adore Rebecca and are so grateful for her love and attention to our little girl!

I can't think of any company/retailer/store I've been happier to find in the past several years that we use on a consistent basis. Doggy Deuce has been our pooper scooping service for many many years, 3 dogs and counting. We now use them for pet sitting while we're away on vacation or just for overnights. While we're away, we get pictures of them, updates on how they're doing and Chris even goes the extra mile and offers to bring in our mail and take care of the pool while we're gone. I challenge anyone to find a small business that offers such service! Also, when I'm looking for any other service recommendation, (window washing, pool closing, carpet cleaning, etc.) Chris from Doggy Deuce always knows the best businesses to call upon. He's part of a big network of local businesses that have proven to be trustworthy and capable; the best can always recommend the best. Doggy Deuce is also an active advocate for pet adoption and strongly care about the welfare of animals. And the office staff is extremely attentive and available, returning emails and calls with very quick turnaround. This company is the real deal. I've recommended them to 3 other families on my block who now also use them! Our pets are our family, our house is our home, and I wouldn't trust either of them to anyone but Doggy Deuce. I'd be happy to offer a personal recommendation to anyone who reaches out.

We have been using them for a couple of years now. Our last trip away I scheduled them to visit my home twice a day for 3 days to take care of my 15-1/2 yr old Yorkie who is partially blind and deaf. On the final day of service I received an invoice I could not open so I emailed them back and requested it sent in a different format. The following day on our way home from our trip I received a call from Becky advising me that unfortunately, she mixed up the dates and no one visited my home to take care of my dog for 3 days. She proceeded to explain she was sick the day she took my appointment and probably shouldn't have been making appointments. What I don't understand is how an invoice is sent for the correct dates, but yet the dates were mixed up. These people are lucky my dog was alive. Barely alive, but she was! The dog was without water for 3 days. One more day and I doubt she would've survived. This is a huge mistake! This is a life we are talking about here. These mistakes cannot happen. I was very upset and angry and refused to further speak to them. There is nothing they can do to make this OK other than REFUND me my money they took without providing services! I would never recommend them to anyone!

I have been using doggie deuce now for over four years and they are amazing! I use them for both dog boarding and pooper scooper and they are super dependable, accommodating and (in my opinion) reasonably priced. Chris (the owner) and Jen (the manager) are super nice and you get a sense that they truly love what they do and the dogs. My dogs actually look happy when they leave to stay there while we are on vacation. While the dogs are there- they send pictures and updates which is awesome. I cannot say enough how much I love them and how much easier it is having them in our life. If you love your dogs as much as we do- you definitely want to give them a try the next time you are going away.

In addition to loving and caring for my own personal dogs, I spend much of my time rescuing animals in need. As a result, my yard tends to suffer. I enlisted the help of Doggy Deuce a few months ago and I couldn't be happier. The service is extremely reliable and the staff is friendly and pleasant.

I have been using Doggie Deuce for my dog Chase. They are incredible in so many ways. They care for my pet as much as I do. They are reliable, trustworthy, honest, caring and I would use no one else for my boy. I use them as a walker and also for a stay when I am away. Chris is an incredible owner and always makes me feel that my dog is in GREAT hands. Thats enough for me to rate this wonderful company ...EXCELLENT!!!!! Also, the girls in charge of the scheduling are efficient!! All GOOD..Thanks again, Doggie Deuce..

Unfortunately this company has yet again failed to properly trained or communicate with their new staff. Once again one of the their employees have left my gate open for my two pit bulls which are not dog friendly. They were instructed since the beginning to call my phone before they came so we can ensure the dogs were inside, but they failed to do that too. If he was confused as I was told. He should have called the office, myself or rescheduled. I find it very disturbing and hard to understand the lack of common sense of this person. He not only put my dogs in danger but other dogs too.

Doggy Deuce watches my pup when I go out of town and she has so much fun. They take such great care of her and make sure she is treated like a princess.

Chris and his team are the BEST. He has an innate gift with animals and is truly a dog whisperer.

A fabulous service! I've used them for years now & I'm very happy! I recommend them as highly as possible!!!!

Stone was fire! 🔥🔥🔥 …

Ruff House is an extraordinary facility for training and boarding dogs. I have had many experiences over the years with many of my dogs and Crystal is outstanding. The way she trains and handles the animals is both loving and knowledgeable and her environment is very special for animals. They are treated beautifully and I cannot recommend her and the facility enough. Five stars is an understatement. My dog has been properly trained there, is loved and cared for as I would care for her myself. It is wonderful to recommend Crystal. Judy

Ruff house does an amazing job with my choc lab. The staff is great and the facility is extremely clean. My dog loves the exercise and playing with the other dogs.

My dog lives going to Ruffhouse Angela and Ed are great with the dogs

Caring and friendly

I was trying out to see if this place would be a good fit for my pup cause i know my pup is usually very anxious. Unfortunately things didn’t work out as i hoped but that’s okay! Because i appreciated how much this place communicated with me and heard my concerns about my pup. They did their very best to make my pup comfortable and that’s all i can ask for. The staff is super sweet and very understanding. I’m hoping that with more training my pup will be able to gain the confidence he needs to be able to come back here cause that’s how great they treated us. They are aware of how to make sure the place is safe for furry friends and that’s what is important! Thank you guys for doing your very best and being patient with my pup. I’m hoping i can return when he is more ready!

We’ve taken our two dogs here twice now. Once for their evaluation and once for doggy daycare. The staff is really friendly and explained things well. The moment we pulled up to the parking lot for their day of daycare, the dogs wanted to run inside. They were greeted by friendly humans and went running to go play that they didn’t even say bye. When we picked them up, they were excited to see us but weren’t running out of the door. They went back to say bye to the staff there. They came home exhausted but very happy. I got a video seeing how they were doing which gave me some piece of mind and they do little activities for holidays which I LOVE. My dogs are my fur babies and it feels like they understand that.

Took our two dogs there for day care before we board them this weekend. Sounds like they had a great time and played with the other dogs. They are absolutely exhausted! Guess we will all sleep well tonight 😌 …

Love love love this place - the staff takes great care of my rambunctious 2 boys. They are always so friendly, nice and polite. The themed parties are too cute, I can't wait to see photos they post ( this was them at prom) Really this is the only place I want to tale my dogs to.

Bella blue loves to go to Hounds Town in Hillsdale, and we feel comfortable leaving our girl there as well! It’s our new favorite place

Very very happy with my dog's stay at Hounds Town Hillsdale. Daily video updates, quick responses to emails and came back to a happy pup after 12 days! Will definitely make this establishment my go-to for all boarding needs!

Early July 2024- My initial orientation with my dog, Chuck went extremely well due to the professionalism of the staff. They were kind, knowledgeable and patient. I look forward to my pup attending daycare and extended stay at this location.. .

Be careful leaving your dog in the care of this location. There has been surveillance video footage of the abuse of Charlie (GSD). Check out @ABC7NY tiktok video posting from yesterday 9/20/24. Had the employee whistleblower not show the footage to Charlie’s owner, he would have never knew, other dog owners that leave their dog here would’ve been oblivious, and that manager that abused Charlie in two instances would’ve still been working here. But according to the video they said the manager has been fired. And here is the proof before the Google business account owner/ runner wants to deny these claims. This is footage of the GSD Charlie that is also featured in that TikTok video by ABC7NY News.

I picked up my chocolate lab axle this weekend after a seven day boarding. When I received him he had a raw nose on the top of his bridge. Upon asking the staff what happened. They stated that it was that he was sticking his nose underneath a gate. And that’s what probably caused it. I’ve used your services times before and never had an issue. Till now. I hope that this does not scar my dogs nose. Right now at the moment it is discolored unfortunately. and maybe the facility can assure that this does not happen to other dogs.

They took great care of my Kenna and made sure she had a fun and safe experience. The facilities are clean, spacious, and well-maintained, with plenty of room for the dogs to run around and play. The service was top-notch, from the convenient drop-off and pick-up to the flexible scheduling and reasonable pricing.
