Our Story
Built from a family horse farm and inspired by a lifelong passion for animals, Dogs On The Farm has provided dogs with a peaceful country retreat since 2002.
The Best Pet Care is on the Farm!
Unlike traditional dog boarding kennels where dogs are cooped up all day with little interaction, Dogs on the Farm & Cats Too provides a unique “play and stay” experience for every guest. One daily playtime is included in our standard overnight package, with a selection of enrichment options to customize your furry loved one’s visit. We’re not just a place for pets to stay, we’re a place for them to thrive!
Huge Play Areas
We have the largest play yards in New Jersey, with over 9,000 square feet of sprawling, secure outdoor space. Our 7,000 square foot indoor play arena is a converted horse-riding pavilion and is climate-controlled for all-weather, all-season fun!
Family-Owned
We’re a multigenerational, family-owned pet resort and deeply committed to our community. We always take the time to get to know our furry guests and their families.
Farm Setting
Tucked among the tree-lined estate roads of Middletown, NJ, our historic horse farm sits in an R-220 preservation zone — open space, white fencing, and peaceful countryside in every direction. Our owners live on-site, every single day.
Superior Enrichment
Tons of activity and extras let you customize the best experience for your pet, whether they visit for just a day or an extended play-cation.
Loving Staff
All of our team members are highly trained, passionate about pets, and eager to dish out all the love and attention your pets could possibly desire.
We can’t wait to share all the fun with your pet! While we’re tucked away on a beautiful, quiet farm estate, we’re conveniently located for pet parents across the Middletown, NJ area including Rumson, Fair Haven, and beyond.
