Our Story

The Executive Dog Lounge was born out of need:  The need for a doggy daycare we felt comfortable leaving our two kids when we would be out of town.  My girlfriend (Lisbeth Probus; owner/operator of Glamour Pet Salon & Vanity) and I have two dogs that are a part of us, our family, our life.  {Bobby is a 17.5 yr Standard Schnauzer; Trouble is a 3.5 yr Mini Schnauzer-Shi Tzu mix; “Schnau-Tzu!” (ages updated: June 2018)} They’re our children and we want the finest for them.  Until now, there was no finest to choose from in Jersey City.  {Now Six} years ago we started discussing the idea of a doggy daycare that we would feel comfortable entrusting our kids care to.  We dreamed of a place that would be like home for them with couches, chairs, a fireplace, and a TV to keep them company.  A place where they could play all day while under the supervision of caring, attentive staff.  The available facilities offered nothing appealing; a square room with a rubber floor, or an outside patio for two hours a day with no supervision and the rest of the day in a cage.

We both agreed we would NEVER place our kids in such a place.  Executive Dog Lounge was created with my heart knowing that if I wouldn’t enjoy spending a day ‘here’ as a guest then our kids would never spend the day ‘here’ as guests.  Well, we exceeded our dreams and the results are obvious.  Our kids love it here and we love it here.  I can’t imagine leaving our kids anywhere else, ever!
