Gracie had a ball at camp. I was very concerned about how she would adjust being a one person dog paired with her rather aggressive attitude toward other dogs - she did great during her 7 day stay. First day she was slow to warm up to other dog friends, but by day 3 she was one of the gang and seemed to be at ease. I attribute her remarkable adjustment to overnight kenneling to your remarkable and caring staff. I feel they took a special interest in my temperamental dog and made sure she got a little extra TLC.
Thank you to all of the dog handlers at PP for your kindness and attention to Gracie, I won't hesitate to use you the next time I'm planning a vacation.
“You take wonderful care of Bradford -- we're glad we found you!.”
“I can only state that our experience leaving Chloe with you was wonderful. I love the photos, which certainly put us at ease watching her engage with the other dogs and seeing her happy face (smile)!”

“I think you are doing a great job! We don’t hesitate at all to leave Levi with you.”

“Keep up with the text updates—Great Idea!! We never had a concern. Excellent Service!! Michele cared for our two dogs and it was clear that the dogs loved her. They were themselves when we got home. DEFINITELY will use again!!!”

“It is my pleasure to recommend Ms. Michele Martin (owner of Paradise Petsitters). I have known Michele since June 2010. In that time she watched and cared for my dog doth during the day and for vacations lasting over 10 days at a time. My dog is always happy to see Michele, enjoys time spent at her home. Upon returning, my dog is always in great spirits, revealing how loved and cared for he was in her care.

Michele is very concerned about my pet’s welfare. She makes sure my dog’s medical information is up to date. She knows whom to call in case of emergency and follows my instructions as far as a feeding and walking schedule. Her home is well maintained. Michele’s expanding business will be great for our economy, helping other New Jersey pet owners. I trust her and value her opinion.”
Nancy and Steve Belford, NJ
“We are so lucky to have found Puppy Paradise to care for our babies while we were away for a week. Michele is a “dog whisperer” and truly a lover of fur babies. We will always ask her first when we need help with our puppies. She is the BEST!! Thank You Michele!”
Cassie Lynn, NJ

“I know my dog is in good hand when I leave her. I love getting updates on her when she is there.”
Kristen Tilton, Helmetta, NJ
“My husband and I have been using the services of Puppy Paradise for dog sitting our two pit bulls, Neako and Lulu, for approximately a year. Right from the initial meeting the dogs took to Michele and she had a great rapport with them. Michele comes to the house and feeds them and takes them outside to play with them, giving each the individual attention that they deserve. Lulu loves to play fetch and will play for hours on end; and Neako just likes to be near you and be pet. We always feel 100% assured that there will be no issues when we leave the dogs in Michele’s care, sometimes up to 4 or 5 days at a time.

Michele is great about sending text messages and pictures to keep us updated how the pups are doing while we are away. She also brought an issue to our attention that needed correcting involving food aggression by Lulu. As a result, we moved Lulu’s food bowl away from Neako and there have not been any additional issues. Lulu did not display this aggression in front of us so it was great that Michele let us know. In summary, I highly recommend Michele’s dog sitting service and strongly support the approval of her dog daycare center.”
Caryn & Joe Birish, East Windsor, NJ
“I love the way you send me text pictures when they are in your care. It makes me feel better leaving them. I know they are in good hands with you. They always come home clean and healthy. You seem to love them and take care of them like they are your own.”
Noel & Craig Talerico, Milltown, NJ
“Receiving pictures and messages throughout the day is very reassuring that your dog is adjusting to their stay. We love the idea that Joey stayed with other dogs in your house and yard and that she was not in a crate for two days!!”
Ed and Carolyn Fennell, Monroe Twp, NJ
“Awesome Place! Bella is our “baby” and we were a little apprehensive about leaving her. With that said, we were put at ease with Michele’s caring manner and the fact that we were able to call to see how Bella was doing. The kennel is spotless and had no odor.”
Perry and Amy Herman, NJ
“We really enjoyed getting updated pictures of Max playing with the other dogs! Thanks!! Will definitely recommend you!”
Maureen Smith, Monroe, NJ

“My Dog, Marley, has been going to Puppy Paradise since late Fall. I was displaced due to Hurricane Sandy and was in panic mode on who would be able to care for my puppy since I was living in a brand new town. Michele came to the rescue time TEN! Marley has become an even HAPPIER puppy since starting at Puppy Paradise and literally scratching at the door to get out of the car when we pull up every morning. As I am rebuilding my life, the daily pictures and updates on Marley make my day and I feel connected to her in the midst of work. I cannot reccomend Puppy Paradise enough. They are a gift from heaven for dogs and people alike!”
Lynda Lange, NJ

Thanks again for providing a safe and loving home for Sadie while I was away. Puppy Paradise truely lives up to its name.”

I feel very comfortable leaving "Louie" in your care and know that he is being monitored very closely. Keep up the great work! I am very greatful for your services and "Louie" too. thanks to you "Louie" does not have to endure being home alone (which he absolutely hates!) when I have to be at work. My walls also appreciate it!”

“Puppy Paradise is the best! I love getting pictures of Sydney when she's there and she always comes home tired! Michele and the rest of the staff at The Puppy Paradise are amazing! Getting pictures of Sydney during the day is the best part; I always know she's having a great time! ”
Jeff & Larry, Monroe NJ
“Even though The Puppy Paradise was recommended by our vet and niece, we were apprehensive in leaving our two dogs there because one (Millie) is 16 years old. Boy, were we wrong in being apprehensive. The Puppy Paradise was a blessing for us. They were so well cared for and Michele sent us pictures of Millie & Sophie daily. We had a wonderful time on our vacation knowing that "our girls" were having an equally wonderful time.”
Joanne, Monroe
“I absolutely love bringing Danny there. He is so used to having his brother and sister around (beagles) and since they recently passed on he is so sad, so bringing him there to play with other dogs is really helping him.”
Anika & Anil
“I just wanted to say thank you for doing such a lovely job in taking care of Copper. Its the first time in more than 10 years that we have trusted someone outside of our circle of friends with him. Copper came back well-rested and very happy. Thank you also for the wonderful goody bag...he loved all the treats. You made him feel at home and looked after him like was one of your own. Rest assured, we will be back. A big thank you to your wonderful staff and to you.”
Ann & Andy, Englishtown, NJ
“All is great with Puppy Paradise. Our dogs, Candy and Snickers, look forward to going. The frequent texts and photos put our minds at ease. They were well taken care of and we are confident that Michele & team can handle any problem that could arise.”
Rachel & Mike, Millstone, NJ
“I am very comfortable sending Pippa and like the fact that it is a personal and small environment. I know she has a great time because she comes home and is pooped! She loves playing with all the other dogs, its a great place to be. I love getting my multiple daily photos of Pippa to my phon3. It always brightens my day. I also love that it is easy to get in contact with Michele & that I am able to text her! ”
