Dog Sitters in Lincoln Park, NJ

I have 2 English Mastiffs who are 180 and 160lbs. They are 16 months old and although gentle giants, would not listen. I was referred to John Andronoco who trained them for 1 week. We brought them home today and it is a completely different house!! They listen. They sit. They are great!!! If you need a dog trained- I don’t care the age or size- GO TO JOHN!!!! He works miracles!!!! I do know his wife Stephanie runs the show (schedule) and probably feeding, but I never in my wildest dreams thought he could turn my girls around. Thank you John and Stephanie- you guys are tremendous!!!! Steve and Jodi.

We are always comforted by knowing that our beloved pup, Pee-wee, receives loving, attentive care from John and Steph at NJK9. Their home is a welcoming and engaging place for all dogs, and Pee-wee always comes back happy and tired from all of the fun he had during his stay. During his most recent stay, Steph thoughtfully sent us photos of Pee-wee's enjoyment in their backyard and interactions with their family. I wholeheartedly recommend their boarding services if you're looking for a reliable place for your dog to stay!

I highly recommend NJK9 Services dog boarding!! Our boy Buc has worked with Instructor John in the past and was thrilled to see him again! Buc was greeted with the warmest of welcomes by Stephanie at drop off and was eager to explore his weekend spot. I had total peace of mind throughout his stay as Stephanie and John provided several updates including pictures. He was truly treated like one of the family! We have already scheduled several future bookings!!!

Junie had the best stay with Stephanie and John. We had peace of mind knowing she was in the best hands while we were away. Highly recommend their services!!

I cannot say enough about how wonderful John and Stephanie were with my dog, Brady, during his overnight stay. They truly went above and beyond to make sure he felt safe, loved, and cared for. From the moment I dropped Brady off, I could tell he was in good hands. John and Stephanie were so warm and welcoming, and it was clear they genuinely love dogs. During his stay, Brady was treated like one of their own. He had plenty of playtime, cuddles, and attention. I was so happy to hear that he was having a great time. When I picked him up, he was relaxed and content, and I knew he had had a fantastic experience. I would highly recommend John and Stephanie's overnight dog boarding services to anyone looking for a loving and caring home for their furry friend. They are truly exceptional and I am so grateful for their care of Brady.

I can’t say enough great things about NJK9 Services! They took care of my 1.5-year-old German Shepherd a few times. Most importantly they were a huge help during my wedding. They stopped by to walk him the night of my rehearsal dinner, ensuring he was well cared for during a hectic time. On the day of the wedding, John brought my dog to my nearby venue for our wedding photos. I was so glad he was in their hands the night of my wedding - stress free! Their attention to detail, flexibility, and genuine love for animals really shows. Everytime I come to pick up my boy, I could tell that my dog had been well cared for and was happy and relaxed. The environment they have and the set up is amazing and my dog loves their backyard! I highly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable and caring pet care. They truly go above and beyond, and I will definitely be using them again!

I can’t recommend NJK9 Services enough to anyone in need of boarding services. As a dog owner of 31 years, I never boarded my dogs before when traveling. This year, I finally found someone I trust enough to leave my 1 year old puppy, Zane, after being referred by our dog trainer, Cover K9. John and Stephanie immediately welcome Zane into their home and went above and beyond to make sure he was adjusting well being it was his first time away from home. I told them I wasn’t sure how he’d be with children and other dogs and they calmed my nerves. Their level of expertise with dogs paired with their passion of creating the best experience for our pups is evident in everything they do! I’m so grateful (as is Zane) to have found them!

I wish i could give NJK9 Services 10 stars instead of just 5. I have an almost two year old Belgian Malinois named Cookie, and have never felt comfortable leaving her with any dog daycare or even with any friends because of her breed and the amount of energy she has. But I can honestly say I trust NJK9 Services, John and Steph, to the fullest with Cookie. The amount of love and attention she gets is unmatched compared to a normal daycare. They provide updates during her stays and even pictures! Another HUGE positive is that they are extremely flexible with my crazy work hours and are able to accommodate with last minute asks (which would also be hard to find with any normal dog daycare). John also provides top notch obedience training for Cookie and myself. I've already recommended NJK9 Services to friends and I will continue to recommend them 100%.

Our sweet Luna had the best time at NJK9! We felt so safe leaving her in the hands of Stephanie and John. It made such a difference knowing that they truly understand dog behavior and needs. Huge bonus that John is an AKC certified trainer! We also loved that their two daughters gave Luna extra love while we were away. We are so thankful to have found them and cant wait for Luna to have fun with them again in November!

John and Stephanie do a great job watching my dog Tux. Their yard is double fenced which is reassuring since my dog is an escape artist. I second I drop him off, he’s running, playing, and doesn’t even notice me leave. I always feel great leaving him there because I know he’s having fun. The yard is big so he has plenty of space to get his energy out. They limit the number of dogs they watch which is great because my dog gets stressed in situations with too many dogs. They are great coordinating pick up and drop off. I absolutely recommend leaving your dog with NJL9!

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.

We Wuv Dogs is a person's best friend when it comes to in-home dog care. Patsy is professional, thorough and organized, with the dog's best interest at heart. Strict regarding health, vaccinations and well-being, I had no worries. My dog Loki was completely at ease in the environment. I felt completely assured my dog was in the best possible hands. Additionally I received photos and updates as well which were priceless. I cannot say enough, integrity is a most important quality when putting our beloved pets in someone else's care and you will find that here.

We left our puppy who was less than 1-year old with Patsy while we went on vacation at the recommendation of a relative. We were a bit nervous leaving a puppy but Patsy took such good care of our dog and gave her so much love and attention!! And since it was our first time leaving our dog with her, she made us feel so comfortable by sending us pictures and email updates. She is such a wonderful person who is kind, caring and loves dogs! We will definitely be leaving our dog with her again!

Patsy at WE WUV DOGS went above and beyond to take care of my dog while i was relocating. The home and yard are extremely dog friendly. Patsy spent a ton of time with my boy Axl outside. They would play three times a day which was very important because he has a ton of energy. Even if the weather was crummy they found a way to get outside for a bit. Patsy would provide photo updates which really kept my mind at ease and allowed me to visit when I could. Moving is messy and I had a few things fall through so i was forced to extend Axls stay twice and Patsy could not have been more accommodating. Her patience and love for dogs is unquestionable and I know my pup had an awesome time. I would recommend WE WUV DOGS to anyone and everyone. Thanks again for everything Patsy!

Patsy is my 5 month old puppy, Maffia’s, favorite sitter. She enjoys her so much and doesn’t even want to get in my car when I go to pick her up! Patsy is very professional, reliable, and what I like the most, is that she sends me updates and pictures of my baby during the day. She is so sweet to my pup and tends to her every need, like playing with her, feeding her, and making sure she gets her naps. Her prices are fair and it’s been worth every penny. I will always use her service, as long as Maffia is happy then I’m happy!

My dog is 13 years old. The last time I left her at a kennel she came home depressed and could barely move. Then I found We Luv Dogs. Now when I pick her up she is happy and content. She also never got along with other dogs (she is a real princess) but since going to Patsy's, she has become a lot more sociable. Patsy is a true dog lover. Now I can go on vacation with peace of mind because I know my dog is not only being taken care of but also getting plenty of love and attention. In addition, Patsy sends me email updates and even pictures. I would definitely recommend We Luv Dogs.

We boarded our Lab with Patsy twice last summer and had a great experience. Our dog had anxiety problems in the traditional kennel setting so we had to find an alternative. We found We Luv Dogs which is an in-home setting. Our dog did great! He got lots of time and attention from Patsy and had none of the anxiety issues he had at the kennel. Thanks to Patsy, we can travel and not worry how the dog is doing because we know he's doing great!

Patsy of WE WUV DOGS is exceptional in providing in home care for our pooch! Our Oliver is pampered, loved, and well cared for at Patsy's house. It is reassuring when we are away, to know that he is in such good hands. I love the e-mails and photos that Patsy sends each day to update us on how Oliver is doing. She is the best!

Oh my goodness, how lucky we were to find Patsy. She is so wonderful with our dog Mack (a 110 pound Rhodesian Ridgeback). She didn't mind his size at all. She is extremely thorough with her temperament assessment with the dogs, and really only does take kind dogs. She of course also is very meticulous about all of the required immunizations as well. Our dog adores her and starts getting so excited around the house when he figures out he is going to stay with her. Patsy is one of those true dog lovers, who truly understands dogs and wants to know all their idiosyncracy's prior to their stay so that she can take care of them as best as possible. Another highlight which my kids and I adored was that every day we were away she e-mailed us pictures of him playing with the other dogs along with a beautiful letter. She is a great find! Part of me even hesitated writing this review because in the long run it might make her too busy, but to be honest she is really just worth it and deserves it.

I highly recommend Patsy at We Wuv Dogs! I knew my elderly dog was in good hands when I had to be away. She is a true dog whisperer and very professional in her business dealings. I will never go anywhere else.

We just picked up our dog Hunter. Ms. Patsy is amazing. Hunter had never been left before and she took care of all of his needs.She is awesome.

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.

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

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

I cannot appropriately vocalize how much we love the Pompton Pet Sitters team. They are so consistently good with our 2 cats and puppy and I know we’d be lost without them!! They are quick to respond, responsible, easy to work with and true pet lovers. I couldn’t recommend any company more than this team. Thank you, PPS for all that you do! We love you!!

Pompton Pet Sitters are fantastic! They have wonderful dog walkers who are very loving and very communicative. They always provide a nice summary of the walk and take pictures, which I love. The website makes scheduling walks and paying for services very easy. Missy, who does the scheduling, is awesome! She goes above and beyond to try to accommodate our schedules which sometimes can be last minute. I highly recommend Pompton Pet Sitters!

I can not praise Kelly and the Pompton Pet Sitters team enough! I was gone for 5 days, and Kelly came twice a day and took care of our kitties so well! We got updates and pictures every time she came, and she followed the directions provides perfectly. I love the convenience of scheduling & paying online. Great service and will 100% use again! Review update: I have now been using Pompton Pet Sitters and working with Kelly for over 3 years, and she is simply the best. She has become a staple in our household for our travel needs, and our kitties adore her. I feel very blessed to have someone I can trust with our pets and to be in our home while we are away.

We used Jen and Pompton Pet Sitters this summer during our vacation. We were gone for almost 2 weeks and we were very happy with our experience. We've had to find someone a few more times for other short trips out of town for a night or 2 and we don't hesitate to contact Jen. We've referred Pompton Pet Sitters to a few others and they've been using them now as well with extremely high regards to their service and professionalism. When our dog see's Jen come inside the house, we know he's happy and know he's going to be well taken care of. I can not recommend Jen and everyone else involved with Pompton Pet Sitters enough - You Guys ROCK!

Pompton pet sitters are very reliable and friendly, when the lady comes she always makes sure my dogs water bowl is filled and she has a snack. She also sends a conversation on your app to tell you how your pet was during the visit. I highly recommend them.

Jen and her staff are the best! I never trusted anyone with my 3 dogs until I met Jen. If you are looking for someone who is reliable, caring and trustworthy then you should call Pompton Pet Sitters.

We use Pompton Pet Sitters on a weekly basis, sometimes multiple times per week. We have 4 dogs and there is never a worry in our minds they won't be extremely well taken care of! We highly recommend PPS, and can't say enough good things.

Jennifer and her team treat my pets like they are family. I'm so happy to have found somebody I can trust to help me when I need someone to watch and feed them while I am away from home. Pompton Pet Sitters gets my highest recommendation!

Jen is amazing! It was my first time using an in house sitter while i was away. Jen updated me every visit and even took my pup to daycare during the day. She took pictures of both sambucca my pup and Luna my cat. I felt so much better knowing my two fur babies were together during my vacation. Totally worth it, thanks Jen!

We have 2 big German Sheppard's and 3 cats so taking care of them can be tricky but Pompton Pet Sitters always takes great care of our 5 kids. Highly, highly recommend them

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.

Uncle Max is the best dog sitter & trainer! Jules loves visiting him and he treats her just like one of his own pups! I know when he is boarding her for us that she's safe and well taken care of whether its a few days or 10 days! Jules & I thank you very much as always 😊🐕 …

We had an outstanding experience with Max as our dog trainer. He trained our 6-month-old toy poodle and 3-year-old toodle for two weeks, and the results were remarkable. Max didn't just train our dogs; he taught us the correct methods to train and play with them, ensuring that we could continue their progress at home. What truly set Max apart was how he treated our dogs like his own. Max, his wife, and their kids made sure our babies were always treated with love and care. We received daily updates and photos, which gave us peace of mind and kept us connected to our pets throughout the training process. Max built an incredible relationship with our dogs, and it's evident how much they adore him. Seeing the bond they share is heartwarming. We are extremely grateful for Max's expertise, dedication, and genuine care. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for a compassionate and skilled dog trainer.

Max has been an absolute dream come true in training my two year old boxer, Bodhi. Max is strong and kind and Bodhi trusts and adores him. I am so grateful I can finally enjoy leash walks with Bodhi. I know Bodhi is so grateful for the confidence Max has helped him build to overcome some of his anxieties by socializing and exposing him to his triggers, with the bond they have built. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Max is the sweetest, most dedicated dog trainer you could ask for. My puppy Jake was rescued when he was 12 weeks old and suffers from anxiety and is terrified of “walking anywhere near cars”. Max has been working with Jake for a few months now on private behavior training sessions, and Jake has improved tremendously. Max is very caring and Jake LOVES him! I witnessed his interactions with other dogs during a socialization class, and all the other dogs love him too! I 100% recommend Max as a trainer and I am beyond grateful for all that Max has done for us and our little Jake.

Max is great with our Shiba. He is very patient and caring. He puts a great amount of effort in training her. And our Shiba just loves Max. I highly recommend Max for your dog training needs!

Max is an amazing dog trainer, and our puppy Angel Cake just loved him! We graduated from Max’s class back in March and typically, I don’t wright reviews, but in this case, I felt compelled to wright it even with such delay. We are the first-time dog grandparents and had to learn soo… much. Max was super helpful in every aspect: training, behaver, diet, even assisted us with dog related “emergency” calls after hours. Our doggy was a little stubborn with us training her, but in Uncle Max’s class, she was a supper student and Max was a magician. We are so glad we found Uncle Max and highly recommend him to any dog owner!

I would highly recommend Max as a dog trainer to anyone of my friends and family! I got so many photos and updates about my dog through the stay. It was truly comforting to know my dog was in excellent care while I was away!

Max is the new dog whisperer! He has been working with my puppy Winnie, and her response has been nothing short of amazing. Would highly recommend Max to other dog owners. You will not be disappointed! I just finished a puppy kindergarten class with our new puppy Marley. Once again, Max is an outstanding dog trainer. In 6 weeks, Marley has gotten down basic commands, and I plan on more training with both Marely and Winnie in the future. Many thanks to Max for being a patient and caring teacher. Two thumbs up!!!

We brought our 3 dogs in to Max for an evaluation. He worked with my husband, and myself, along with our dogs to show us what we needed to do to help with their behavior issues. He is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of dog behavior and he genuinely cares and loves what he does. We left feeling very confident in what he told us. We will continue using Max for refresher classes, for ourselves!!

Max is a talented kind dog whisperer. He has a unique approach to working with dogs’ strengths and to facilitate sustained progress in dogs' development opportunities to flourish. I have two Alaskan Malamutes that love working with Max. He helped me to enhanced and refined my dogs' good citizen manners and behaviors. Especially related to my Malamute boy who is shy and was dealing with fear aggression toward certain triggers. I have been training my Malamutes since I adopted them at 8 weeks old and expose them trhough basic and more advance training, but with Max support all the foundations and now the advanced skills are more accessible to my dogs daily activities and the beahviors better sustained. I highly recommend working with Max in any dog training capacity, I can’t be more grateful for all his support, kindness and guidance with my Malamutes. Thank you, Max! Paula, Dharma and Nanook.

I highly recommend this facility for dog training. My experience with Jennifer Brand was exceptional—she is an outstanding and knowledgeable trainer who guided us through the process of desensitizing our dog to other dogs and people. Thanks to her expertise, our dog has become more sociable with other dogs and feels more at ease around family members. If you’re seeking professional assistance for your pet, this is the perfect place to get the support you need.

We hired Jennifer Brand, a dog trainer from the Madison, to help us with our newly adopted & very “zealous” 2yr German Shepard/lab mix who was taking his anxiety out on our 9 yr old lab & also just impossible to walk bc of his pulling. We went through several trainers before meeting Jennifer & she was AMAZING! She taught me (5’1 petite woman) how to walk my shepard on my own & calmed his anxiety issues. She worked with both dogs to create more harmony in the home. I was so skeptical of trainers & tired of spending $ on trainers before meeting Jennifer but she’s the real deal! Thank you Madison & Jennifer for improving our lives lol. If you have a big dog or have any dog that needs any training, Jennifer will use her intuition & skill to custom create solutions for you that actually WORK. It’s a pleasure to walk my 70lb dog now thanks to her!

My husband & I used to Board(when we had to go out of Town/State). As Well As, drop our Louie off @ Doggie Daycare. Now, this DID NOT HAPPEN ONLY 1 TIME! (Please keep that in mind) Louie is our “Child but, with PAWS” I’m going to Protect that lil Shih-Tzu with every breath I have! PLEASE, if you love & care for your dog & I know you do, BRING them somewhere else! I BEG YOU! If you are BOARDING YOUR DOG! TURN AROUND! WHY WEREN’T THERE ANY CAMERAS EVER OVERNIGHT? WHEN THEY HAD CAMERAS? & THEY WERE WORKING…!! I can guarantee you that your dog will come home to you with their own Poop all over them (YES! for DAYS & DAY!!)if you pick them up early from boarding, guaranteed!! I PROMISE YOU. FACT! You know what so Funny?? He offered me the $200 & something Dollars back for the Boarding. 1st I LAUGHED @ him & simply said, you are a horrible & would be a terrible businessman. 2nd I declined. Keep your $230.00 who is going to pay for her salary, the lights on, etc. etc. payroll. Here’s the funny part, turns to me & says, do you want me to clean up your dog for you? Should that even be a question?? Of course I declined again. Goes to show of why he would be a horrible businessman in this field. Names are going to be withheld. So with that said, this was not the first time, my dog has come home with Sh$T on him! Why would you bring your dog there overnight? Also, I have an apology from the owner Sean on voicemail saying how WRONG HIS HANDLER WAS blah..blah..blah.. Also, I have a text message from Sean (cause we didn’t reply to the voicemail of course) I can post that as well. Anything to Prevent anyone going there & Mostly, Protecting Those Precious Paws 🐾!

1000/10- Dog Boarding- The Madison Dog resort and Spa Wayne- They were wonderful and my dog thought so too! My dog has a lot of health conditions so I was nervous about finding a place that could accommodate that. Our vet is the one that recommended this place. They were incredibly personable, answered all my questions, were very thorough in paperwork and prep. They have cameras throughout so you can check on your dog. They are very clean and organized. They also do a behavioral test to make sure your dog can handle being handled by people and play with other dogs. You can tell they truly care about the dogs.

The Madison is the best place you can bring your dog. Shaun the owner is incredible! My wife and I had an emergency situation and needed to bring our child to the hospital for a few nights. Shaun stayed past 10pm and took both of our dogs. He was fully booked that night and cleared out an office so that my dogs could have a safe place. Shaun and his staff truly care about all the dogs that enter their facility. They go above and beyond for them and the people who leave their beloved pets in their care. They will always have my business!

I was recommended the Madison dogs resort & spa by a friend. I was very impressed by being able to see my dog in the playroom with all the other dogs at any time as I was able to install the app they told me about. My dog was there for 2 days. I called one day to ask about her and they had no problems telling how she was doing. I would highly recommend this place to my friends and family. A+++ service!

We have brought our dog to a lot of different groomers around the area, but this is by far the best place where he has come out looking his best. Great place and friendly staff!

Love bringing my pup here for daycare and boarding! Always accommodating and having cameras to check in on her is always a plus!

Everyone there is very friendly and helpful. My dog loves it

We have been clients of The Madison Dog Resort & Spa Wayne since 2015. We board our dogs there but never took advantage of the daycare service until 2022 when we added a 2nd dog (puppy) to our “pack”. Now both “fur kids” visit at least once a week. They get to play and socialize with other dogs and come home EXHAUSTED. This has especially helped improve the younger one’s behavior as well…he’s just too tired to act out, lol. It’s a win/win for everyone. 😉

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!

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!
