Why Westchester Pet Owners Choose Thumping Tails
There is no shortage of pet care options in Westchester County. Here is what separates Thumping Tails from the rest.
GPS-tracked visits with real-time photo updates
You see where your dog went, when the visit started and ended, and a photo from every single service. Not occasionally. Every time.
A team, not a single walker
Thumping Tails has a deep bench of experienced, vetted pet companions. If your regular walker is unavailable, a backup steps in without interrupting your pet’s routine.
Bonded, insured, and background-checked
Every pet companion is fully vetted. Your home and your pets are protected.
Flexible scheduling
Recurring weekly walks, last-minute bookings, midday drop-ins, holiday coverage. Thumping Tails works around your schedule, not the other way around.
Experienced with special needs
Anxious rescues, senior pets, dogs on daily medication, multi-pet households with complex routines. The Thumping Tails team handles situations that less experienced sitters cannot.
Recommended by local veterinarians
The referrals that matter most come from the professionals who see what good pet care looks like every day.
