Providing Pet Sitting in the South Cairo, 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!

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.

Pet friendly people looking for adventure
Christy and Eric were absolutely amazing! They cared for our 2 dogs and cat exactly as we had hoped (and even did extra). They took them for walks and rides and administered oral medication to both dogs. Christy and Eric communicated throughout our 2 week vacation and gave us updates on the pets and the house. Christy and Eric were both very easy to talk to prior to the sit and they arrived on time as scheduled. They kept the house EXTREMELY clean and it seems as though we came home to a cleaner/tidier home than we left them. Christy and Eric were amazing pet sitters and we would definitely be more than happy to welcome them back into our home any time!

Chill Musician Couple will treat your pets & home with Love! Courteous & Kind =)
I was very happy with Sabrina and Niles as our cat sitters! They arrived a day early to make sure there's enough time for us to show them everything, and they made sure to note down everything for later. Also, a huge thank you because our regular cat food and litter delivery was due during their sit and while it usually arrives in one go, this time it came split into four or five individual deliveries with one ending up at our neighbours. Sabrina and Niles made sure that everything was there and also went to the neighbour to pick up the last piece, and in the end build a nice cardboard box space that the cats absolutely loved (one of the boxes is still alive and is being used every day). We received daily updates and pictures too which I'm always super grateful for as it's the highlight of my day when I'm away. I can absolutely recommend Sabrina and Niles and would not hesitate to invite them back. :-)

Digital Nomad w/ 10+ Years House-Sitting Experience
Rebecca is very sweet and incredibly considerate. We had a nice long zoom call before confirming the sit and she was easy to talk to. At the time I had two kitties and one was very ill. Rebecca asked thoughtful questions and had so much experience that my stress and anxiety were alleviated; I was grateful to have found her and felt completely comfortable entrusting my kitties and little piece of paradise to her. Unfortunately my Fizzy Fitzy's health deteriorated and he didn't make it. I let Rebecca know before the sit that it would be only one kitty and that he would be adjusting to the loss of his "brother" and companion and might need more care and attention. She was so kind and again, I felt like the universe had sent me the right person. Rebecca and I got a chance to meet as we overlapped by an hour or two on day one; I was so glad to be able to see her in person and give her a hug before I left. I returned after about 10 days to a calm kitty (which was amazing given that he'd just lost his lifelong companion) and an immaculate apartment. Rebecca even washed the sheets and made the bed which was so beyond helpful and appreciated after a tiring trip. Rebecca sent me a long message on the last day letting me know what had been done and showing a walk-through of the home (she's very thorough, which I love), so I knew what I was coming home to down to the fruit in the fridge. Seriously, the place was immaculate! I know you're journeying on Rebecca but I would love to have you sit anytime. Thank you!

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."

Another amazing sit by Anna and her lovely family - our cocker spaniel Holly has had the best fortnight with these guys with lots of adventures and endless amounts of love and attention! Highly recommend as 5-star house and pet sitters - thank you Anna - hope to see you again!
I felt that my dogs were in good hands with Billy & Cherice - both pups seemed happy and well cared for when I returned from my 3-week trip. My home was also clean and tidy. This was my first experience using an unknown sitter and I felt nervous to leave my dogs for so long while traveling abroad. If they were to stay again I would request more regular photo updates, but otherwise was very happy with Billy and Cherice's pet and home care.
Tina was a fantastic house/pet sitter for my cat Trixie - I can’t recommend her enough! She was very communicative and also self sufficient and I felt completely at peace with Trixie in her care. She took it upon herself to water my plants and also trimmed Trixie’s nails, which I always struggle with! She provided perfect company for Trixie, playing with her, brushing her, loving her and giving her daily medicine. She also left my apartment in perfect condition. I would gladly have Tina pet sit again. A 10/10 experience.
Not only did Krista take great care of our cat while we were away, she left the house cleaner than she found it. She also kept in touch with occasional photos and videos of kitty antics, which gave me peace of mind that the cat was well-cared for. We definitely recommend her as a house and pet sitter and would ask her again in the future!
Richard was exemplary as a house and pet sitter. He was attentive and thorough with his review of instructions, compliant with requests, provided regular home/pet updates, and maintained our home perfectly. An excellent citizen, mature house sitter and reliable.
Rachel was an excellent pet sitter for my cat. She was a good communicator and also kept my place very tidy. She even left me a gift of a bar of chocolate upon her departure! Highly recommend.
I could not have asked for a better first time sitter experience! Terry & Vinnie were absolutely wonderful people. They took stellar care of my beloved pets and my home. Their communication with me was enough that I felt perfectly at ease during my time away and in turn, they were super responsive if I contacted them. My pets were relaxed and happy when I returned!
I have had 4 pet sitters this year so far. And Liz was the best! She was wonderful with cats. She has an easy going manner and is very comfortable to be around. Very smart and she is a great communicator. She followed all directions and left the house spotless. I highly, highly, highly recommend her! I would have her again anytime!
Janis is absolutely the best pet sitter and home care we have had. She is a regular for us during our Christmas vacation because we totally trust her with the care of our three dogs and the management of our home. She is so good and efficient that I have already requested that she sits for us again next Christmas. Our three dogs absolutely adored her as she played fetch, took them on walks, loved and spoiled them. Management of our home was excellent. I had no concerns whatsoever as we had packages delivered and Mail that needed to be picked up. The house was in much better condition than what we left it. I highly recommend Janis and you will be fortunate to have her as your sitter.
What an amazing couple we had as pet sitters for our two dogs! You can truly feel their love for animals. Nancy sent pictures a couple of times letting us know that they were having fun also with our Cody and Carson! Our home was perfect when we got home. They even left a beautiful potted flower and card on our island in our kitchen. We highly recommend this couple! Jim & Wanda

Brought our malamute in for nail trimming. We were nervous because she freaked out at the humane society when we tried. But my dog let them trim her nails with very little / no fight back. Everyone was super nice & took us on short notice. Will definitely be going back
My dog Jupiter absolutely hates her nails getting trimmed she's 9 months old and never been able to do is she faught to the end but they got it done they were amazing and talked so sweet to her I will be back.
I just love this place, Kathleen and staff are true animal lovers My chubby pug goes to Kathleen for his nails trimming He is 13 very chubby. Lol. I love Kathleen and staff ,all so kind and caring.I never wait long times and always a great experience.best place around for grooming.
Kathleen and her assistant are amazing! Skilled groomer, kind, and accommodating. I couldn’t ask for a better poodle cut for my grey toy poodle Bella
I brought in two dogs who were in DESPERATE needs for cuts… I was worried they wouldn’t cut them because they had some matting but no, they were just as kind to my little furry cousins as they would be to any other dogs. They were kind, compassionate, thoughtful and efficient! Would go back again and again!
They are great with nail trims for my German Shepards!
Kathleen and her young assistant are friendly, kind, and caring. They groomed my Bella a toy poodle beautifully! Will gladly return. Loved these ladies and this place
First time here with my dog Charly. He is usually very fearful when going to a groomer, but Kathleen must’ve put him at ease because she said he was wonderful. He looks great, she did exactly what I wanted and the price was very reasonable. I will definitely use Dapper Dog for My dog’s grooming needs.
They take such great care of our dog. She always comes home looking and smelling wonderful. They are quick and professional and reasonably priced.
my little yorkshire terrier (4lbs) was never into being groomed,at all.but Kathleen was kind and patient. She hung in there and did an exceptional job. I guess 40+yrs.experience pays off. So glad i found her !!!
My dog and I came to Jen for behavioral issues and I left with a changes dog. I went from frustration to a respectful & loving relationship with mt Malinois. Jen Culver is absolute magic ... all stemming from an unparalleled work ethic, love and deep understanding for dogs and her superb talent overall. Sheldon & I look forward to working with her on many more things in the future as Sheldon gets older.
Outstanding
We have been working with Kevin and Julie for over a year now and I would highly recommend their organization. They have been caring for our golden/lab since he was 6 months old. Our dog adores Kevin and Julie. He has come to depend on …
It is a pleasure to write a review about this great service! We have used dog tales for five years and we are beyond satisfied. My cat and dogs are treated the way I would treat them with great love and care! In addition, during family …
We have been using Dog Tales for three years and find them to be very reliable, trustworthy and professional. They give our dogs the same love and attention as we do. They have been very accommodating to changes in our schedules whenever possible. They have become like second parents to our dogs and it is comforting to know that our pets are receiving such a high quality level of care. They are great communicators as we always receive a brief written summary of the day's visit. We are very lucky to have them. The dogs feel the same way too. :)
I was afraid to trust the care of my best friend to anyone, but my work schedule required that he have someone let him out and play with him during the day and when I traveled. Dog Tales was recommended by a friend so I gave them a call. Julie came for the "Get to know us visit" which went really well. My pup bonded instantly with Julie!. My Otter fell in love with Kevin and Julie! Their excellent care, knowledge, commitment and love for my boy was amazing. Kevin and Julie undeniably provide the best care for all the pets they come in contact with.
We have been clients of Julie and Kevin for over 6 years. We never had to worry when they cared for our two active labs as it became apparent they loved them as much as we do. Dog Tales was perfect for us as they worked with our constantly changing schedules, were prompt and always cared for my dogs as we would.We now live in Ct. and miss them dearly, as we have been unable to locate a service that cares for our dogs as well!
They did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs for a week while we were away on vacation. Great communication. We had never used a dog sitter before and were nervous about the whole ordeal. We had nothing to worry about, they did a great job for us and showed great care for our dogs. We would definitely recommend their services and look forward to them helping us out again in the future.
While away on vacation, we used Dog Tales to take care of our chocolate lab Teddy. They are a local dog/pet sitting company located near us in the Hudson Valley (Orange and Ulster County). They provided excellent service and let us know about the costs ahead of time. More importantly, they gave us peace of mind knowing that our dog was being taken care of. I know they also take care of cats while people are away.
We have used Dog Tales for over 4 years. We have 3 dogs and a cat. They are family to us. We use them weekly as well as for vacations and overnights. My pets adore them. They are caring and concerned for their well being. They are professional, reliable, friendly and trust worthy. We can't imagine our lives without them. We highly recommended them.
When we adopted a hyper puppy we knew we would need someone to take him out on the three to four days a week that we'd be gone for more than 8 hours. We also have a very shy and anxious 13 year old dog. She is scared of just abiout everyone. We hired Dog Tales thinking that they'd only need to take care of the pup. But Sadie the senior warmed right up to Kevin and Julie! Dog Tales are consistently RELIABLE. When it's slushy or rainy, they wipe up the muddy paw prints. They always leave a note to let us know how the visit went. When we added a cat to our home, Kevin made sure to give him attention and treats (which he brought himself). I would (&have) highly RECOMMEND Dog Tales. We love them!!!
We have been using Dog Tales services for over a year and we are blessed to have found them! They are reliable, trustworthy and always work to accommodate us. They treat our boys wonderfully and I know they look forward to the days they get their walks with Kevin and Julie.
