Additional Information

If you are having more than one visit per day for your dog, I recommend having no longer than 5 hours between visits for their comfort.

Cats and small animals will be visited basically on the same schedule but not before 10AM or after 9 PM. The reason being is that they, more than likely, will have a litter box, cage, etc. to relieve themselves and dogs do not. Thank you for your understanding.

Tails 'R Us Pet Care Policies

Payment Policy   

Daily dog walking clients must pay on the last scheduled day of the week.  Payment may be made by cash, local check, Paypal (friend and family ONLY), and Venmo. 

Pet sitting clients must leave payment in full prior to the start of the pet sit, unless a prior arrangement has been made.

There is a $30.00 fee charged for any check that is returned for non-payment.

Inclement Weather:

To ensure the safety of your dog, as well as myself and that my independent contractors, regularly scheduled walks are cancelled when local governmental offices are closed due to inclement weather. If there are no closures, we will get to your home to care for your pet as soon as safety permits.

In the event of extreme weather conditions (such as thunderstorms, tropical storms or extreme heat), dogs will be taken out long enough to relieve themselves – the remainder of the visit will be spent indoors cuddling, playing and having fun.

Dog Walking Policy:

Any dog in our care is walked on a leash and is not allowed to run free unless in a fenced-in yard. We must be in control of your dog at all times. A leash and/or harness along with a collar and proper tags, must be provided for any dog that is walked off your property.  Thank you for your understanding.

If you do not need dog walking or pet sitting for a regularly scheduled visit, please TEXT me at 201-207-5925 with as much notice as possible. Please be kind and do not cancel at the last minute unless in case of an emergency or sudden onset of illness.

Our Happy Clients

We offer you COMPLETE PEACE of MIND knowing your pet is being cared for by an insured professional and someone who absolutely LOVES animals.

Snoopy and I have been working with Tails ‘R Us for a year now and we absolutely love them. While it took Snoopy (a senior toy poodle) some time to adjust to his new friends, Gay and her team were extremely patient and understanding of Snoopy. I’m not just paying for a dog walker, I’m getting peace of mind. I feel beyond safe at work knowing that Snoopy is being walked daily and checked on, not to mention a text message after every walk to let you know what’s going on is above and beyond in my book. Not only do I trust them with my baby, I trust them with the fosters I bring into my home while they wait for their forever family. Thank you Gay and the wonderful team you have!
Jessica S. - Hamburg, NJ
We could not be happier with our service from Tails R Us. Our dog has fallen in love with Gay and her team. Gay is always accessible and responds quickly to calls, texts, and emails. We appreciate that she has a team so if one has a conflict, another is available. They are a pleasure to work with and we highly recommend them.
The Staudingers - Highland Lakes, NJ
Gay is a wonderful caretaker for our senior dog, Lady. We have used her services for a few years now, and have developed our relationship into a friendship. She has listened, given advice, and made me feel better when I had an emergency with my dog. We have not had any negative experiences with Gay or the ladies that help her. I cannot say enough good things about Tails R Us!! I would definitely recommend them (and I have) to my neighbors and friends with dogs/cats.
Traci F. - Hamburg, NJ
I cannot say enough about Gay and Lorri and Tails R Us . When we lost our beloved lab Seamus two years ago she was there for us, it was as if she had lost a part of her family too, her compassion and generosity are boundless. With our new boy Clancy, Lorri and Gay are amazing! Always giving us updates and pictures and funny stories. When we go away we feel comfortable that our boy is in good hands We have recommended them to our neighbors and friends.
