"I just wanted to thank you for taking such great care of our puppy Reilly, a high energy Aussie-Border Collie mix, and our two cats Koko and Slickie. Having someone come to our home twice a day while we are at work was not an easy decision, but one I am so pleased I made. Not only did your staff treat Reilly, and my cats as their own pets making sure they were comfortable, but they took the time every visit to bring in my mail and any packages left on my front door.

 I also want to thank you personally for taking such wonderful care of Reilly in our home over a three day weekend. Knowing that Reilly was being cared for, put our minds at ease and allowed us to enjoy our mini vacation with friends. When we got home, I found Reilly so happy and relaxed under your care. I feel so lucky and blessed to have found Tails of Putnam Pet Sitting Services and I highly recommend your service to anyone tackling the decision of which service to use for their beloved pets.  We are forever grateful."

"I just wanted to send you a note to let you know how pleased I am with Tails of Putnam. I have been using you for just about a year now and I couldn't be happier! All 5 of my cats adore you and are excited when I go away because they get to visit with your staff. You not only take great care of my 4 indoor cats and 1 outdoor cat, but you bring my mail in and any packages in the house and leave a detailed summary note regarding your daily dealings with my precious babies. I couldn't ask for more thorough a service. 

Let me tell you, I spent a long time researching pet sitters and I must say that the services you offer at your unbeatable pricing is unmatched! You are professional, personable, dependable and a sheer pleasure to deal with! You are like a part of our family! You are easy to get in contact with (email, phone or even text) and you never disappoint. You've come when I needed you at the last minute and you've understood when I've need to change and / or cancel my plans at the last minute."

 "When we first adopted Ethan we did not realize the immense resposibility that we, as a family had undertaken. The kids have been begging for a pet for years and they were finally old enough to take part in the care a pet needed. We found Ethan on petfinder.com and instantly fell in love with him. But, we soon realized we were not fully prepared for all a new pet would need. A friend recommended Tails Of Putnam. So we called! It was the best phone call we had made in regards to our pet needs.  Susan came to our home, met Ethan and "recommended" some changes that we could make in helping Ethan adopt to his new surroundings. Crating Ethan for training purposes I thought was "mean" but it proved the best training technique for Ethan. Now he goes in and out of his crate and it definetely is a safe place for him. Having a towel for him on rainy days, treats for rewarding good behavior, where to buy "poop" bags and what treats are preferred were only some of the great ideas Susan offered. 

However, I must say that I was blessed with Susan when Ethan was sick and it was Susan who picked Ethan up from the vet and bought him home. On another occasion they helped me get Ethan to and from the vet when he came down with a stomach ailment. 

I cannot say enough how indespensible Susan was during these times. Tails Of Putman is reliable, trustworthy and Ethan loved his walks and time with Susan. Tails Of Putnam is wonderful with our Ethan and treat him as one of their own. I have recommended Tails of Putnam to friends when new family members were adopted! I knew that on the days Susan was coming to care for Ethan, that Ethan was in the best and most reliable care I could ask for. 

Thanks Tails of Putnam for the peace of mind you provided and a loving extension of care you provided our Ethan."

Annette P., Brewster, NY

We have lived in four states and used four different pet care companies over the last ten years.Tails of Putnam has been our favorite for a number of reasons.

We have been clients of Tails of Putnam for almost five years. From the very first week we used them (when our dog Lola was recovering from surgery and had a few emergency medical issues requiring vet visits) we have been thrilled with their service.They are highly organized, very reliable, professional and trustworthy. We have four dogs. Susan have taken the time to get to know the personalities and idiosyncrasies of each animal, and have carefully documented the details for their individual care.

Whenever we need emergency or last minute walks or visits they always accommodate us. If we go out of town, we love that we can keep our dogs in their own home under Susan’s care, ensuring their comfort and an extra level of security for our home. We appreciate the ease of scheduling, great communication and timely billing as well.

We have total peace of mind when we leave our dogs in Tails of Putnam’s care. They keep us informed regarding their visits via our “Dog Log”; walking, feeding, administering medications and loving our pups as we do."

Drew K. and Paul W., Brewster, NY

"It is a pleasure to recommend Tails of Putnam. We have used them on many occasions, and on our return home have found our dog, Ginger, to be happy, healthy, and well cared for. Susan and Jackie run a professional operation. They are highly dependable and customize their service to your needs. We know that if any emergency were to come up while we were away, Ginger would be well cared for and taken to the vet if necessary. Our dog loves them too, and enjoys the nice walks she gets on each visit. We highly recommend Tails of Putnam if you want the best care for your pet while you are away."

"......we have been big breed dog owners for more than 25 years. After being disappointed by more then one dog sitting service, it is wonderful to have someone we can completely rely on as you have proven over these last 18 months. Admittedly, it can be a bit apprehensive having a stranger come into one’s home. We’re so fortunate to have found a real gem in you. The level of comfort we find leaving our dog and home in your care is unsurpassed.

You are extremely organized and professional, and your love for animals is apparent. It was wonderful to learn first hand about you from our friends/neighbors. From the very beginning we were impressed when you scheduled, without charge, the initial visit at our home to meet us and our dog so you could become familiar with our home/routine, and discuss all pertinent information about our needs. You conducted a careful interview, made detailed notes, provided us with copies of your policies, and explained not only are you fully bonded and insured, but as a member of the Professional United Pet Sitters LLC, ASPCA and Pet Sitters Associates LLC are held to the highest quality and ethical standards. All this made us feel secure about giving you access to our home in our absence.

 Regardless of whenever we call, especially for last minute service requests, you are always so accommodating, and never any extra charges or fees!

We especially appreciated the daily log you keep showing how our dog behaves and interacts with you – it gives us a full picture of his activities with each of your visits. Also, we really liked that you send us a text messages with updates. He can be so frustrating at times - not wanting to out in the rain and get his paws wet, but you are always so patient. And since he’s an old arthritic boy, you always take your time to give him slow walks.

No matter how long we’re gone for, we can leave without hesitation and relax when traveling knowing our dog is in caring hands and will be well taken care of. You are amazing and we can't think of any way you could or should improve. We highly recommend Tails of Putnam to anyone in need of excellent pet sitting service, so feel free to give our name as a reference."

Maureen and Joe P., Carmel, NY

" We can't recommend Tails of Putnam enough. They've been a real lifesaver on several occasions.

We have two cats who they have looked after many times. They do a great job of looking after them. They stick to the cats' feeding schedule and we are very comfortable with them coming into our home while we are gone.

We recently added a high energy puppy to our family and once again Tails of Putnam does a great job. They are very patient and understanding of our young dog"s issues. They offered lots of great advice on how to integrate our puppy into our home. 

Tails of Putnam is a great resource for anyone who needs their pets looked after."

Susan and Colin M., Brewster, NY

"We were so happy to find a small advertisement about Tails of Putnam in Heritage Hills Magazine couple of years ago. Our little Benni then 3 years old, could not stay alone for long hours during the time we had to spend at work. 
  
We called you, you came to our house, and the love story began. Benni with his special sense understood right away what kind of person you are, and you liked each other immediately. 
  
Now we have the most reliable friend who always is ready to help if we need it. In any weather conditions, summer heat or winter cold and snow we can rely on you. We and Benni are always happy to see you, and it looks like you are always happy to take care of him. 

Thank you so much for your help and for your friendship."

 "After interviewing three different dog care company's, I knew instantly upon meeting theTails Of Putnam staff, that they were the right fit for me and my three year old cocker spaniel, Moxie.
                                                                                                                                                                                                        
And now after utilizing your services for the last 7 months, I know I made the right choice. Given the nature of my work, I have had to move appointments around on many occasions, and your good natured flexibility to my schedule has always made me feel well taken care of. More importantly, the excellent care you give my dog is obvious to me, and I so appreciate how you are always willing to text me as you leave with how she is doing on any given visit. 
 

Your service has never failed me -- it is clear how much you care for my dog and about the well being of all animals -- this allows me to go to work with a free mind and never worry how Moxie is doing at home. It would be my pleasure to speak with any interested future client and sing your praises -- feel free to give them my contact information."

                                "My husband and I have two dogs. One is a black lab mix who is 15 years old. Our second dog is a Golden, who is three. It has been our very fortunate experience,  to have found Tails of Putnam to care for "the girls" as we refer to them. Meri has been wonderful on every occasion that we needed her. She has come on a day basis to provide the walk that we would not be home for, as well as cared for them overnight. Each time the professional manner that Meri demonstrated on each visit was exceptional as well as very reassuring."

"We would highly recommend Tails of Putnam to anyone with a pet that wants quality and professional care of their animals. The dogs would absolutely agree! They LUV them!"

"Being able to leave home knowing my beloved pets will be well-cared for: Priceless. That is the peace of mind that Tails Of Putnam provides.

I have left my two cats in her capable hands for several weeks at a time with never a worry. I would give her my highest recommendation for any pet sitting needs. She is reliable, considerate and kind to people and animals alike. My pets love her! Thank you Tails Of Putnam. 

Mary B., Carmel, NY

"Tails of Putnam So Great......When I first met the staff of Tails Of Putnam, I felt like I had known them forever. My two dogs, Paulie and Louie, felt the same way.

There is really no one, not even my daughters, whom I trust more with my pups than Tails Of Putnam.  My dogs are taken care of, mail is brought in, home is clean and locked. I have never felt more secure going on vacation and having Tails Of Putnam be there for me and my dogs.

They are always available in emergencies and short notice. I can't say enough about the services provided and special attention received from Tails Of Putnam."

Elissa M., Carmel, NY

"Tails of Putnam has been wonderful caring for my two dogs and two cats. Susan was so professional, gathering pertinent information about my pets, arriving on time to care for them, and truly giving the dogs a good walk. I am now able to go away knowing that they are in such good hands!"

Peg S., Somers, NY

"We have known Meri for 2 years and trust her completely! She is a very sincere and kind-hearted dog lover! Meri spends quality time with our dogs when they are in her care-- always going above and beyond our expectations. Meri is a true professional who provides loving attention to our pets by playing with them, taking long walks and cuddling with them. We all love her!"

Vicki and John G., Brewster, NY

"I have been a client of Tails Of Putnam for a few years now. I cannot tell you how pleased I am with their services. Their professionalism and the quality of service that is provided for my three cats is outstanding.  I can truly say, that when I have to leave them, I am not worried or stressed out because I know they are being well cared for. I am so very lucky to have found them."

Rita and George D., Carmel, NY

"Last November my husband and I went to Costa Rica for 10 days. We were able to have a great time because Meri was taking care of our three dogs, five cats, and our beloved Macaw Albert.

Meri is the consummate professional, her paperwork before we went away was very complete. She asked the right questions about our pets and our home. Right from the start, I felt like my pets were going to well cared for and loved while I was away. She came for a visit so they could get to know her, and all of her interactions with them were sincere and caring. They liked her right away, she took the time to greet and befriend them.

While we were gone we stayed in computer contact with her. She answered all of our emails promptly, putting our minds at ease. I would never hire anyone but Meri to take care of my very large group of pets.

As a dog training professional myself, my standards are very high and Meri fulfilled them all. I highly and without reservation recommend Tails of Putnam for pet sitting and dog walking. Thank you Meri, being able to completely trust you allowed us to have a worry free, wonderful vacation."

Linda L., Common Ground Dog Training, Carmel, NY

"Outstanding and professional are two words that best describe this incredible service. Our family moved to Somers 3 years ago and we were so fortunate to have discovered the service of Tails of Putnam. We have a 13-yr-old Lab, Ace and he certainly needs and appreciates the sincere and dedicated extra attention that we have become so dependent upon."

Mark and Susan M., Somers, NY

"Susan took our very "enthusiastic" dog Shelby on good long walks, when we are away for the day. We highly recommend Tails Of Putnam. Shelby rates them: Two paws up! "
