Eltingville Cuddletails

Pet care experience

Hi there! We are an animal loving couple with two young kids and a sweet elderly puggle (pug+beagle) named Tira. We recently moved to Eltingville from Brooklyn. In Brooklyn, we were a trusted neighborhood sitter and had pet sit regular clients for many years. We have over 20 years experience caring for different pets with various needs. As Rover clients ourselves, we know all too well how tough it is to leave our furbaby in the care of someone else and understand the importance of choosing a petsitter that is reliable, responsive and accommodating, so we pride ourselves with providing many pups, and potentially yours with unconditional love, quality care and safety under our roof for their stay. We both grew up raising pups of various breeds and have fostered for many years. We were also active volunteers with various dog rescues in Brooklyn until they find their forever homes. During their stay, you will receive plenty of pupdates, pictures, and videos so you won’t have to spend time worrying about your pup, but rather enjoy your time away! For the safety of your pet and ours, we can only host pets who are friendly, and small to medium in size. However, large pups (40 lbs+) and puppies are accepted on a case by case basis. We also welcome pups with special needs, diets, elderly pups, and health issues requiring minimum medical attention. To determine whether your pup is a good fit and to ensure him/her the best and most comfortable experience, please request a Meet-n-Greet on our page. New guests are required to schedule a brief Meet-n-Greet, before a reservation is accepted. Thank you for stopping by our page and we hope to meet you and your furbaby soon! Why I love dog sitting I've always lived with a dog since the age of five. My family rescued a mixed breed pup, reminiscent of Benji who lived for about 15 years. My partner and I raised our puggle Tira from when she was a puppy. We've been long time animal lovers and hope to have the opportunity to care for your furbaby. Our experience administering medication We are very comfortable administering medication in various forms which include pills with strict timing schedules, liquid, ointments to sensitive areas such as the eyes and insulin injections.

Arlena was wonderful easing my dog Bubba for his first daycare session. I will definitely book with this lovely family again!

Mabel had a wonderful time with Arlena and her family. Arlena kept us up to date on how Mabel was doing and we were able to enjoy our day worry free. Mabel will definitely be going back.

Arlena is the best! She took care of Zee multiple times when I lived in NYC (when I would be away from 1-3 weeks) so much trust and care! Miss you!

Arlena is absolutely incredible with our cat Dexter. Dexter requires multiple eye drops, and insulin shots, and Arlena has been fantastic and took care of all of them, snuggled with him, and sent us a TON of pictures and notes while there (which we really appreciated)! We'll absolutely be requesting more visits from Arlena, assuming she's willing!
