The Perfect Pooch NYC

The Perfect Pooch NYC provides cage-free dog boarding in New York, hosting dogs overnight in a pet-friendly apartment at 8 W 108th Street, a half block from Central Park. There are no crates, and dogs are free to move through the home during their stay. Boarding is capped at two dogs, so a stay looks more like a houseguest arrangement than a kennel run.

Services

• Crate-free overnight boarding in a home setting
• In-home dog sitting that follows the dog's usual routine
• At least three walks a day
• Medication administered as directed
• Pick-up and drop-off within a 20-block radius

Owners whose dogs settle better in their own space can book the in-home option instead, where a caregiver stays with the dog and keeps to its normal schedule.

What owners hear during a stay

Caregivers send a detailed report each day with photos and video, and the company uses a mobile app with GPS tracking. That daily reporting matters most for owners who are out of town and want to know how the day actually went, not just that it went fine.

Every caregiver is certified through ProPetHero's First Aid and CPR course for cats, dogs and similar animals. The team is fully bonded and insured through Business Insurers of the Carolinas.
