Aunt Darlene's Pet Sitting & Dog Walking Service, LLC

It's hard to know where to begin when relating all the good things about Aunt Darlene's. After an initial "get acquainted" visit and a practice overnight stay, we had no qualms about leaving our dog here for an extended time. Darlene and husband Tom are obviously committed to operating a top-notch dog care business, and they exhibit a great deal of knowledge about dog behavior and interaction. Boarding a beloved pet for several days can be worrisome, but at Aunt Darlene's one feels as if the pet has been entrusted to long-time friends. The cage-free facilities are very clean with no doggy odor, and the dog comes home smelling clean. Among the available amenities, we especially appreciated the large screened-in porch, the fenced-in yard, and the self-service toy basket. Both Darlene and Tom know how to be pack leaders so that order is maintained among their charges at all times. Darlene and Tom obviously love their work and do everything possible to make their guests comfortable. Traveling for us will now be more care-free knowing our dog is in such good hands. more

Prince Dexter the 1st, is my one year old shiba Inu, that stays at Aunt Darlines house for 3 days a week. Dexter has made many new friends and is well cared for. He is my baby, and I know he is in great hands with this service! Great job! and many tail wags from Dex :) more

My “grandson”, Dexter is a 1 year old Shiba Inu. He spends between 3-4 days a week at Aunt Darlene’s daycare in Old Bridge NJ. Dexter had previously gone to a regular daycare center. He came home each day with that “doggy smell” and contracted parasites twice and became very ill. We needed a new plan for Dexter. My daughters & I found Aunt Darlene and we feel Dexter is in the best care possible when he is not home with his family. Actually, Darlene and her husband, Tom, have become family to Dexter! Darlene & Tom have pets of their own and treat the animals that they walk and board just as they do their own. When Dexter is dropped off in the morning, he is anxious to run into the house to see his friends. He doesn’t even look back as we drive away! Its a lovely home with a fenced in yard for the dogs to run and play. When Dexter was taking medication, Darlene made sure to give him the dosage during the day and she & tom feed the dogs breakfast and dinner. Truthfully, I don’t know what we would do without Darlene & Tom to care for our little guy. Any pet owner who is looking for a safe and loving alternative to being home alone should call Aunt Darlene! Marie H Pt Pleasant Beach NJ more
