Paw Mania JC

Paw Mania JC handles cage-free dog boarding in Jersey City, NJ, hosting small and medium dogs in a home setting instead of a kennel building. Overnight guests stay in the house with the team rather than in runs.

What an overnight stay includes

Dogs get out to a securely fenced backyard several times a day for exercise and potty breaks. Once a day, owners receive a report card with a photo through the booking app, and the team posts updates on Instagram as well. Staff can give medication to dogs who need it during a stay.

Every new boarding client starts with a trial night before a longer reservation. It lets the team see how a dog settles in around other dogs, and it gives owners a short run at the full routine first.

Services offered

• Cage-free, in-home overnight boarding for small and medium dogs
• Dog walking in 30 or 60-minute visits
• Cat check-ins with feeding, litter care and playtime
• Pickup and drop-off for pets who need a ride
• Professional handling for weddings, photoshoots and parties

Booking and practical details

Reservations are made online. The office runs Monday through Friday, 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Boarding is listed at $90 per night on the company's website. Proof of vaccination is required before a dog can stay. Paw Mania JC is insured and bonded by PCI under certification number PCI60545.

What makes it different

The home-based setup is the main draw for owners who would rather not board a small dog in a commercial facility. The event handling service is unusual for a boarding business too: a handler comes on site so a dog can be part of a wedding or photoshoot without a guest having to manage them. Between walks, check-ins and transport, the same team can cover a dog's whole week, not just the nights away.
