dianne
Arlington, New York
Homeowners and ex hands-on landlords with extensive animal care experience.
Dianne and Tim are exactly the kind of sitters who make TH a trusted and reliable community that we can turn to time and again. They were highly communicative, friendly, capable. They took care of our 7 month old Nora for a few days and were so flexible with the needs and quirks of a young dog in training. Our dog fell in love with them quickly and the daily photos proved it. They were conscientious from start to finish with Nora and left our home in immaculate condition. We came home after a long day of travel to a clean home and happy dog which is everything. We are so very grateful to Dianne and Tim!

Alice was super helpful, taking care of Xabat and our home with short notice. She is thoughtful and tidy and we are grateful!
Leslie
Arlington, New York
For the animals, loving companion
Leslie was wonderful! I would highly recommend her. She did an excellent job taking care of our 4 horses, 3 dogs, and Earle Kitty. When we arrived home, they all looked happy and well kept. She texted updates and sent pictures every morning. The house, I couldn't even tell she had stayed. Leslie washed towels and bed sheets and remade her bed. She is a lovely person to be around.
Mireille
Arlington, New York
Life is available only in the present moment
Mirielle was great with our cats, one of whom has special needs and the other one is a scaredy-cat. By the end of her short visit, the scared one got within a foot of her, which is remarkable. The most complicated part of taking care of our cats was keeping their food separate, which she did. When I got home, the cats were glad to see me, the house was all in order, and all was well. What more could I have asked?
James
Arlington, New York
Mature, responsible pet lover loves to travel
This was the third year in a row James watched our pets. For the third year in a row, we came home to happy and cared for pets and a house that was left in great shape. We trust James; and it is a wonderful feeling. We have old pets. Our little dog is over 15 years old and has some special needs. James handles her like a loving pro. James is a go to person.
Leslie
Arlington, New York
Kind, impeccable house/pet/property sitter for your home and pets.
Leslie did a great job taking care of our four cats, our house was neat and clean, and we received lots of pictures from her daily - we can't thank her enough! Aside from an alarm on an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in my office (she has NO blame for this one - it failed while we were gone!), she was self-sufficient and took care of all out plants and paid great attention to the cats!

Milton
Arlington, New York
Hyper-responsible grown-up who loves pets and visiting new places!
Milton was the perfect dog sitter for Aldo. We would have him back anytime! Caring, organized, great communication. Took Aldo on amazing walks and activities. He is such a happy dog!! 10/10 from us.
Juliet
Arlington, New York
Responsible, caring professional couple here to take care of your pets and home
Juliet and Laurent were great petsitters! My place was clean and the cats were happy, which is my biggest concern. Juliet was very communicative and sent pics daily along with little comments about Jack and Jamie and how they loved the area around here. I had zero worries about anything, which is always a great feeling while away. I would highly recommend them for any pet sits in the future! Thank you both!😻😻
Shelley and Mark
Arlington, New York
Mature couple ready to help.
Shelley is a dangerous and incompetent housesitter. She should never be entrusted with anything more valuable than a houseplant. Her pet care was terrible. On the 2nd day she left our 2 dogs outside in the backyard, unattended on a 83-degree hot, humid summer day with no water for 90 minutes while she left our home to go out for a walk. We saw this on our Ring camera and immediately reported this to zeewoi (full complaint currently under investigation) and let her know directly how concerning this was for us. Not only was it unsafe to leave the dogs outside while she left the home, but it also went against clear instructions that were communicated to her in person during the handover and in writing about what to do with the dogs anytime she left our home. She repeatedly had trouble following basic instructions that were communicated verbally, in writing and in text reminders. She was incapable of following basic pet care requirements. We asked that only one of our 2 dogs be walked once a day (I did not want her walking the other stronger dog, because during the handover we went on a walk together and Shelley DROPPED our dog's leash). We use Fi collars, so we know that over the course of 11 days, Shelley brought our dog for only 4 walks. We did a phone interview with Shelley and never did she inform us that our medium sized, 40 pound dogs would be too much for her to walk. Additionally, Shelley traveled with her sister who clearly is unwell (likely dementia or some sort of developmental disability) and also was afraid and nervous around dogs. She never informed us of this, and it was clearly a huge safety issue. Shelley's sister let our INDOOR cat out multiple times (at least 4 times are seen on outside cameras). Sometimes our cat was left outside for 20+ minutes without Shelley or her sister realizing. This is so, so dangerous- we are on a main street with a lot of traffic. We are lucky our cat didn't get lost or killed under her "care." Shelley and her sister left our home in a terrible, and honestly gross and unsanitary, condition. A paper bag with human feces was found in our bathroom and made the entire 2nd floor of the house stink for days. The rug in my office was covered with urine- which makes me wonder if she locked my dogs in this room for extended periods of time. Our dogs are fully house trained and have never had any potty accidents. The kitchen was filled with flies, milk had been spilled in the refrigerator and never cleaned up (a gross film had formed by the time we got home). The blender was put away in the cabinet unclean. The recycle bin was filled with dirty trash- so much so that we got a notice from the city. She carelessly used metal utensils and scratched our Le Creuset dutch oven (which will now void its lifetime guarantee). Three brand new bars of soap were taken from our home, like they were some sort of hotel amenity. Shelley went into our basement storage freezer (which she had NO need to access) and took home 3 gallon bags (about 20lbs) of frozen tomatoes I had harvested before our trip from our garden. When I addressed this with her, she claimed her sister packed them by accident (which, if true, & your sister is so unwell that she's packing things from someone's home that are NOT HERS, she should not be allowed to travel with you). However, I don't believe that's the case- 20 pounds of tomatoes aren't really something that just sneaks by your consciousness- it's A LOT of tomatoes. Shelley was offended I accused her of stealing, but that's what she did. She ultimately returned them, knowing full well she was in the wrong. I'm not sure what else she might have taken from our home, as I didn't think I needed to take an inventory of our belongings and supplies before we left. Ultimately the sit ended when our one of our dogs ate some of a marijuana plant in the backyard (she had never shown interest before and we did not know the plant- with no flowers on it- was dangerous). We do not blame Shelley for that (even though it was probably from a time the dogs were not adequately supervised in the backyard); having the plant where dogs could access was our mistake, and one that will never be made again. The part that is extremely concerning is that it took Shelley nearly 2 hours to get our dog to the emergency vet from discovering the first symptoms (she first texted me at 6:26pm that our dog was unwell and "having seizures" and did not leave for the hospital until 8:12pm). And I am certain she never called the zeewoi vet emergency line. She eventually reached out to my mother (our emergency contact while we were in Europe) and my mom told her to go to the vet ER immediately. Afterwards Shelley stated via message, "I cried, prayed & hugged her throughout the incident." So, instead of getting prompt medical care for our dog (emergency vet was clearly listed in our printed out home instructions), she prayed for her. Unhelpful, incompetent and incredibly dangerous. I'm not sure how she has previous good reviews. We were shocked by the incompetency and complete inability to understand and follow simple, clear directions- there are, sadly, many more examples I could include here. We are grateful our girls survived having her stay in our home. I would hope no one else ever has to deal with such a horror. To finish things off, disapproving of the legal marijuana plant in the backyard and probably of our rainbow flag displayed on the front of the house, Shelley texted "You need prayers. Find a Bible based church to go to and get healed. I pray for your soul."
Reviews from Cat Owners
Janie
Cynthia was a perfect pet sitter for our little kitty. We knew from her extensive experience with cats that Nala was in good hands. She was extremely responsive via texts when we were away, ensuring us that the 2 of them were having a great time. She went absolutely above and beyond by scrubbing our bath and toilets to remove our mineral deposit rings that we haven't been able to get rid of! She even left the name of the product she used so we can get more in the future. The house was cleaner than when we left. We'll have her back anytime!
Tracy
We were very lucky to have had Nia for our recent house sit. She communicated well before the sit and arrived as planned. We shared a meal before we left which gave us time to get to know her and tell her about the house and our pets. After we left it soon became clear the cats loved Nia and the attention she gave them. We were kept informed throughout her stay with regular updates and video clips of what they were up to and how the garden was growing etc. We highly recommend Nia as a pet/house sitter and we would certainly have her back should the opportunity arise. Thanks again Nia
Nina
After seeing the numerous positive reviews, I knew Cung would be an easygoing and professional cat sitter and house guest, and he was :-) Easy communication, prompt updates and clear concern for Boz & Artie's wellbeing, and pictures of cozying up on the couch together all made our time away secure and stress free. Upon returning home, the cats were chill and the apt was left spotless, as though he hadn't even been there.
Heather
We literally cannot say enough positive things about Susan and Miranda! They are the best! From start to finish, they did an amazing job communicating with us, giving our 3 (somewhat needy) cats extremely high quality care and tons of attention, and keeping our house clean and plants watered. They took adorable pictures of the cats and sent them to us several times a day, played with them and gave them so much love and affection, and when we got home the house was even cleaner than when we left. We even asked them for some tips on how they were caring for the cats because our cats seemed happier and more relaxed than ever when we returned home to them! This was by far our best cat/house sitter experience to date. We hope Susan and Miranda are available again in the future to sit for us and would invite them back without hesitation.
Matthew and Cheryl
Amber is as good a sitter as you will find anywhere! She treated our cats with such love and care, as if they were her own. She left our house in perfect tiptop tidy shape, and made sure to wash all the towels and linens before she left. She even cleaned out our coffee maker and took up our weekly trash without us even mentioning it! Amber is super kind and personable and we welcome her back to sit for us anytime! If you are looking for a sitter, you should definitely accept her application!
Thea
Hannah and Joseph were brilliant sitters - totally reliable and trustworthy. Quick to respond to queries and their past experience with dog/ housesitting was very apparent. Our 2 dogs and 1 cat were well looked after and the house was spotless on our return. We are totally happy to recommend them.
LEANNE
Laura came across the country to sit for us. She arrived a day early and from the moment my pets met her our Lokie was smitten. We have one shy cat Luna and she was out and about on the first night. Laura kept us updated and shared her Adventures as well. We do live in a small hideaway of a town so seeing that she was able to enjoy herself was nice. We returned to a clean home, laundry done also, and very content pets. Lokie was sad for a few days as he missed his friend. We would recommend Laura as a sitter to anyone and would have her back again. 5 plus stars. ⭐
Tiffany
Paige, David, and family were WONDERFUL sitters for my crew! They were so pleasant and personable, and the pets warmed up to them very quickly. Even my rescue cat who tends to stray away from men loved David. I received regular updates and communication (before and during the sit). I truly did not have any concerns while I was away knowing that everyone had such great care and attention given to them. (I know the dogs had a good time because when I came home there was no commotion over my return.) I was away on NYE and Paige had no issues keeping an eye on one of the dogs who has anxiety surrounding loud noises. The family cleaned up after themselves and may have left the house cleaner than when I left! Truly such a great family who I would welcome back any time!
Kaori
Elyse was one of the best pet sitters we've ever met! Couldn't recommend her more. We hope she stays at our place again. She sent many pictures of our beloved cats throughout our absence. We returned to our cats seeming relaxed and happy as ever. She also left our apartment sparkling clean. 10/10 :)
Will
Jinnie was an excellent house sitter for me and my cat Felix. Completely responsible and reliable and helpfully flexible. She was willing to work with me as I dithered on whether I was actually going to go on my trip (which was dependent on good weather), and when I finally decided on making my trip one day shorter. House was clean and organized on my return, and, more importantly, my cat was calm and relaxed on my return. I would happily have Jinnie come sit for me and Felix again.

We have been using the Pet Sitter services of Tail Waggle Pets since we moved to the Hudson Valley. Our cat Tilly loves Marina, who is kind, knowledgeable, and engaged with her customers. We never worry when we hire Marina to care for our beloved cat. She not only provides comprehensive care, she also gives us great guidance as Tilly ages based on her years of experience. We are so glad we found such a caring and reliable pet professional
We recommend Marie to everyone we know. We started using her because one of our cats had diabetes and required daily shots. She is one of the few people including family that I would trust to do this. Ever since, she has been stuck with us when we are out of town. She is extremely reliable, caring to our pets needs and our anxieties when we travel. She is loving to the fur babies and we know if something happens to them, we are in good hands. It’s nice to know they can stay home instead of having to be placed in a kennel. She is the best!
NEED A DOG SITTER? DON’T BOTHER TO CONTACT TAIL WAGGEL PETS, LLC SERVICES LOCATED IN POUGHKEEPSIE, NY. IN FACT, AVOID THIS SERVICE LIKE THE PLAGUE! EVEN THOUGH MY DOG IS CHIPPED, AND, I HAVE AUTHENTIC PAPERS SHOWING OWNERSHIP, TAIL WAGGEL PETS OWNER MARINA …, HAS KEPT MY DOG AGAINST MY WISHES SINCE NOVEMBER 2023 AND WILL NOT GIVE HER BACK TO ME. AN AGREEMENT YOU MIGHT ENTER WITH HER MIGHT READ THAT YOU CAN SEE YOUR DOG ANYTIME YOU WANT AND EVEN YOU CAN END THE AGREEMENT FOR HER TO KEEP YOUR DOG AT ANYTIME. BUT, GET READY TO RECEIVE MULTIPLE TEXT MESSAGES FILLED WITH EXCUSES, VENTING, AND COMPLAINING ABOUT HER WORK SCHEDULE AND ABOUT ALL THAT SHE HAS TO DO AND WHY SHE IS UNAVAILABLE FOR YOU TO PICK UP YOUR DOG. I HAVE HAD TO MAKE COMPLAINTS WITH THE CITY AND THE TOWN OF POUGHKEEPSIE’S POLICE DEPARTMENTS, COUNTY AND STATE POLICE DEPARTMENTS, ANIMAL CONTROL OFFICERS INCLUDING HAVING TO FILE A MISSING / STOLEN DOG REPORT. I HAVE HAD TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH SMALL CLAIMS COURT, THE TOWN SUPERVISOR, AND THE ZONING DEPARTMENT. I HAVE REPORTED THE BUSINESS TO NYS BUSINESS BUREAU, THE NEW YORK STATE GOVERNOR’S OFFICE, THE VETERAN’S OFFICE, AND TO NEWS REPORTERS. STILL, NO DOG! I AM IN THE PROCESS OF LITIGATING. PENDING THE OUTCOME, I MIGHT NOT GET MY DOG BACK. SO, DOG OWNERS IN DUTCHESS COUNTY AND HUDSON VALLEY BEWARE - THE OWNER OF TAIL WAGGEL PETS, LLC MIGHT STEAL AND KEEP YOUR DOG JUST LIKE SHE DID MINE, WITHOUT THE PROSPECT OF YOU EVER GETTING YOUR BELOVED PET BACK.!
We use Marina for pet sitting and doggy daycare/play dates and she is wonderful! She’s great with all kinds of dogs—our dog is often shy with new people and she absolutely adores her, she cannot contain her excitement any time we see her. Marina is also super reliable and thoughtful, she makes sure to keep the right food on hand for each of her regular clients’ dogs and she makes sure to match up temperaments when she brings dogs together for walks or play time. It was hard to find the right person to look after our anxious dog and I cannot recommend Marina enough!
Highly recommend for all your pet sitting needs. I cannot say enough positive things. I have been a pet owner for 25 yrs + and finding Marie was the best thing that every happened for my pets. She became a part of the family and I never worried when I had to be away from them or that they wouldn't receive their medication on her daily visits for years. Beyond dependable, trustworthy and treats your pets and home like they are hers.
Mari is such a gifted and sweet dog care giver. She watches my two dogs and they love her. When we pull up to her house, they start getting all excited. My dogs know how good she is too. They hardly ever want to leave her! She is also excellent in my home for overnights and I trust her completely with the house care as well as the pups 🐕🐕💕👍
We recently moved away from the Hudson Valley and miss Marina and her services so much! She provided speedy communication, flexibility, and excellent care. She was also extremely patient and loving with our rather needy and anxious pup. Thank you so much, Marina! We wish we could have brought you with us!
Mari was the petsitter for my elder kitty, Snug, last year when I lived in Poughkeepsie. I wish we still lived near enough for her to be Snug's catsitter! She was great with making long visits so Snug got lots of attention while I was away, giving him medication and outdoor time on my enclosed porch, sending photos and videos every visit, and sweet touches like turning on cat TV for him. She obviously loved Snug so I felt like he was in good hands. Mari was also very understanding and supportive of last-minute travel plans (where possible) - I appreciate the flexibility she gave us!
There isn't enough room to tell you about the quality of pet care you get here. She comes to your house and/or has in-house. My Koko LOVED going to visit! Big fenced in yard!! But she also has dog training skills so you can see she is able to handle and dog and whatever "issues" they may have. A TRUE PROFESSIONAL ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Mari has been caring for my pets for several years and is great - thoroughly recommend!

I know Erica very well, she is my sister after all, but she really is amazing with people's pets. I've seen her care for birds, dogs, horses, and cats. She loves them all so much and treats them like a part of her pet family. I'm very proud of what she has accomplished, creating a fantastic business that she's very passionate about. If you want someone who goes above and beyond, Erica is the pet sitter for you.
Erica has been our GO TO Zookeeper for when we are away for a while now...we have a golden puppy, a corgi puppy and our old lady a shitzu/bichon mix as well as 2 cats...she has always taken the absolute BEST care of them when we are away, she spends time with them, plays with them, sends pics and updates for us and will even do overnights if available. We never have to worry about our "zoo" when we are on vacation while Erica is around...she is the absolute best! Wouldn't have anyone else taking care of these guys :)
Erica looked after my two cats while I was on a short trip recently. It was my first time traveling since I had moved to this area, so I had to find a new pet sitter, which is always stressful. I needn't have worried! Erica was super kind and professional and did a great job with my girls. I will definitely look to hire her again for future trips. Thanks Erica!
Thanks to Erica my husband and I now take guilt-free vacations knowing our dogs are in safe hands at home. She truly loves animals and has a great rapport with them. Plus, she’s just an all-round fun person and good business woman. Highly recommend!
BEST PET SITTER EVER! Hello All. I just wanted to take a moment to share my recommendation to anyone who is looking for a Pet Sitter. I don't normally take the time to do these things but this woman went so far above and beyond for our 18 year old Cat, Socks that I swear, she may have just saved her life. Her name is Erica ("Go-To Pet Care" on Instagram) and she was not only a "cat-whisperer" to our Sweet Kitty who had serious abandonment issues after being nearly starved to death by our last pet-sitter. So, needless to say, our family was EXTREMELY concerned about having to leave our Cat for another week this year. After literally hours of research I kept coming back to Erica with her many reviews (including from 2 Families that I know personally) and seeing that she had even taken an Animal Care Course (which considering our Cat is on 5 different Medicines and Vitamins that need to be given in different ways at different times a day since last year's debacle, is an EXTREME PLUS), we decided to Contact Erica for a Meet-And-Greet. Thank goodnes we did because from the moment she arrived, between her instant connection with our Cat and the immediate ease that I sensed with her in our home and in her abilities, I knew we had found our Cat Savior! And not only did our cat do well throughout our vacation (proof of which was texted daily including sweet pictures and our own indoor Camera monitoring our Cat's Feeding Area (Of course with our blessing from Erica prior to us hiring her), she actually GAINED WEIGHT which we have been CONSTANTLY trying to do for our Cat with the help of our Vet since we Adopted her 7 years ago as a malnourished older and wary Cat. And that, along with the fact that our home pet feeding area and litterbox area were actually CLEANER than when we left them, the fact that she spent over a half hour playing with our Cat and giving her lots of love each and attention each visit and the fact that she reached out to us about a week later to make sure Socks was still doing well, is the reason that WE WILL ALWAYS REQUEST HER FOR ANY ADDITIONAL PET SITTING NEEDS THAT WE MAY HAVE! We would even request her to take care of our home if we were taking our pet with us, as I couldn't feel more comfortable knowing our home and anyone and everything in it will be in the best possible hands. I apologize for my Reference being so "wordy" but I am just so happy to have found Erica for our needs and I would love to know that maybe I could help others who may be looking for that "special someone" that they could trust for all of their Fur-Baby(ies) needs!
Erica is a fantastic friend to our kitties! She truly loves animals and speaks their language. She's the best!
We've used Erica for many years now, whenever we're leaving for vacation. Erica has never let us down and our cats seem to like her more than us. :-)
Wow, what a great feeling knowing your pets are being properly cared for when your away. Very reliable and a great value.
