The Kearny Dog Walker

The Kearny Dog Walker offers cage-free dog boarding in Kearny, NJ, along with in-home overnight care for dogs that do better sleeping in their own beds. Boarded dogs stay in a home setting rather than a row of runs, with indoor play space and a secure fenced-in backyard for outdoor time. The same team also handles cat and small-pet sitting and pet taxi trips.

How boarding works

Cage-free means dogs move around the space instead of waiting in a crate between potty breaks. Indoor play and the fenced yard cover the exercise side of the day. Before any overnight stay, a meet-and-greet evaluation is required, so the owner and the sitter go over the dog's routine, temperament, and quirks first.

The in-home option

Some dogs travel badly, and older or anxious ones often settle better at home. For those, a sitter stays overnight at the client's place and keeps the usual rhythm going. Walks come with a GPS-tracked, timestamped report card and photos, so owners can see what actually happened while they were out.

Practical details

Hours run 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM, seven days a week, which leaves room for early drop-offs and late returns. All dogs must be up to date on vaccinations. The pick-up and drop-off service on weekdays helps when work hours don't line up with the handoff. The business is bonded and insured through Pet Sitters Associates.
