“Kim is truly one of the best! She was so consistent and reliable giving Dexter a long walk and often took him to new places to explore. She gave him great exercise and also let him play and I know she loved him as much as he loved her. I cannot recommend someone enough!”

“Michelle is the best! I needed a sitter last minute and she responded immediately. When I met her I could see she truly loved animals and my pets would be in good hands. Our dog Mocha and Michelle became best buddies right away, and even made friends with our wary cat. Michelle was prompt and kept me up to date with daily pictures. I would definitely recommend her to sit for your fur babies.”


“Jaime has been my saving grace! She sincerely cares about animals and has been great for my (not so) little Lucy. She is dependable and flexible with her hours which is really hard to find. I have a crazy work schedule which would not be possible without all of her help! Highly recommend if you're looking for a responsible animal lover to take care of your fur baby ?”


About: I've taken care of animals for over 5 years. I started out with a Leopard Gecko, but got a dog a couple years later. After that, I went to C-Tech and completed their Animal Science program, taking care of reptiles, small mammals, dogs, and even sometimes birds. Rover doesn't offer anything outside of dogs and cats, but if you need something else taken care of I'd be glad to help. My schedule is almost fully free. I've been out of school for a while and I love caring for animals! I don't dogsit as a full time job, but when I get a request I couldn't be happier to oblige! When taking care of animals, my own or someone else's; I can provide the animal with play, bathroom breaks, water & food refills, litter changes, and anything else your pet may need. If there's any special or unique care you need done for your animal, just ask. Leaving your pet with somebody else can be a bit worrying or stressful. If you want to build trust first, we can do as many meets as you'd like! Just say a date and I'm there.

About: I've owned a small dogwalking/pet sitting business since 1999. I am CPDT-KA certified in dog training as well. I've worked with all breeds of dogs, ages with many different dispositions. My dogs are in small, friendly groups(3-5) that walk daily in Prospect Park. I'm not like other walkers who just walk around the block....I think it's important for the pups to be in nature, sniff & roll in the grass & get all those good smells in! I do all private training lessons(in your home) & specialize in puppy training Walking/training/boarding dogs is my professional job. I'm home throughout the day except for dog walks throughout the day. I also do training mostly on the weekends. I have a ground floor apt in a quiet neighborhood. All my dogs get out at least 4 times a day , usually with one outing to Prospect Park daily.

“Lisa Erin is lovely and kind and great with our dog. She was flexible and was not afraid of rain. Most impressive- she asked to meet our dog first to be sure it was a good fit. Great pick”


“Bethany went above and beyond to make sure my pup was happy before, during, and after walking him! 10/10”



About: I grew up with lots of animals in my house my whole entire life. Everything from birds, reptiles, fish to basic ones such as cats and dogs. In summer I was on farm with horses, cows, pigs, chickens and much more. I have been watching dogs for as long as I remember. Both in my house as well as other homes. I do rescues for a company that specializes in pit bulls. I love to spend time, play, teach and get to know the four legged friends. Life without cats, dogs and other furry animals would be really boring. It is an honor to be there to take care of your pet when you are in need. I'm happy to help with last minute emergencies.

About: I have cared for dogs and cats of all kinds since I was 13 years old. Friends and family have trusted me to take care of their pets. I’m currently working part time, so I’ll have good quality of time to spend playing and walking with your beloved pet. I am available weekends and during the week any time. Whether you prefer to have your fur baby cared for at your house or mine, I am available to watch over them as if they were mine.

“Kacie is caring, sweet, professional, and a bit of a dog whisperer! I have a particularly difficult rescue dog with some serious anxiety issues, and Kacie manages her gracefully, catering to her special needs and always going the step beyond to spend some time with her after a walk and make sure she's got fresh water and such. I don't trust most people with my dog because she can be so difficult, but when I first met Kacie it was clear that she understood and had an immediate connection. I'll be having Kacie back many times, I'm sure.”



“Akash was great with my 11 month old lab, Clancy. I hired him for a 60-minute walk & he went above and beyond by offering to take Clancy on a local nature hike instead of his usual walks around the neighborhood. Akash was a great communicator, and kept me updated with pictures & short videos of Clancy hiking, which was awesome! I look forward to hiring Akash again!”

“Emmi is very sweet and was great with my puppy Charlie. I will definitely be utilizing her services in the near future.”

They've done everything for our girl - daily walks, boarding when we go on vaca, even emergency pop ins. And our dog Margaux LOVES them. When I tell her that she's going to see Maria and Doug today, she wiggles her whole body in the cutest way. Maria and Doug have also given us great tips and ideas (this is our first dog) - from stimulation games to treat tactics! They are true animal lovers with a ton of knowledge. Also, Maria takes the sweetest photos of the pups she watches - the shots she can get with a bunch of dogs on a stoop are seriously amazing and adorable. I truly can't say enough great things about Tails on the Town - they are just the best.”

She is in general a kindhearted understanding person and follows instructions to a T. She is very attentive to dogs needs and takes the time to get to understand and know the animals. She is very proactive with the needs of animals and follows check lists for them. I would rate her 5 stars in my book any day and wouldn’t trust anyone as much as I do her leaving my fur babies in her care when I have something I have to do that requires me to be away or even not be able to walk or play with my babies properly at that moment. She is very dependable and reliable. She is beyond respectful and responsible. She communicates and is very responsive when contacted. She has great good vibe energy. I would always hands down recommend Shannon for anyone who is looking for someone to help take some of the load off caring for their fur babies when things are super busy.”


cassidy c.
“Cassidy is a caring and responsible animal lover with years of experience caring for animals. Knowing she has training in animal CPR and first aid gives me confidence that she can offer the best care for all my pets. The additional fact that she is studying to be a zoologist offers further comfort that Cassidy’s pet sitting and companionship will be the best possible care for the animals I hold close to my heart.”


Logan L.
“I’ve known Logan for over 10 years. When I became the Operations Manager at the Ulster County SPCA, Logan stood out as the best employee on our team for many reasons. She is a true team player—kind, compassionate, and genuinely caring toward both people and animals. Logan began her work in animal care and never hesitated to get her hands dirty. Her versatility and dedication allowed her to wear many hats, including taking on management roles. She has overseen the care of both cats and dogs, managed daily routines, monitored medical conditions, and facilitated adoptions. In addition, she played a critical role in training animals, staff, and volunteers alike. Logan is dependable, empathetic, reliable, and honest. She has a warm, calming presence and an incredible personality that puts everyone at ease. She truly has a gift with animals—she recently worked with a difficult, untrained dog belonging to a family member, and in just one session, she was able to get the dog to peacefully coexist with another it had previously tried to attack. I would trust Logan completely—with my animals, my home, and without hesitation.”


Karina B.
“Karina has always been a dog and cat lover. She goes above and beyond for the animals in her care. She rescued a sick kitten and took in a senior dog. Besides the basic needs she always makes sure that the animals have the phisical and mental stimulation they need for their age.”
