Dog Walking, Boarding & Cat Care in New Rochelle, NY
New Rochelle blends the energy of a small city with the calm of Long Island Sound waterfront living and pets here deserve care that keeps up with both. Thumping Tails provides professional dog walking, comfortable boarding, and attentive in-home cat care for families across the Queen City of the Sound, from the high-rises and apartments downtown near the Metro-North station to the established neighborhoods around Wykagyl, Sutton Manor, and the shoreline.
Between busy workdays, the commute into Manhattan, and weekends on the water, it isn’t always easy to give your pet every walk and feeding they need. Our team of genuine animal lovers fills that gap with dependable, on-time care and a photo update after every visit, so you always know your companion is happy and looked after.
Thumping Tails Services Offered in New Rochelle
Dog Walking in New Rochelle
Every dog is different, so every walk is built around yours from gentle 15-minute strolls for senior dogs to hour-long adventures for puppies with energy to spare. We follow your routine, respect your home, and send updates after each outing.
New Rochelle is wonderfully green for a city its size. Leashed dogs love the shoreline paths and open lawns at Five Islands Park, the scenic waterfront at Davenport Park, and the trails of Glen Island Park overlooking the Sound. For off-leash play and socializing, the fenced Ward Acres Dog Park is a local favorite, with separate areas for small and large dogs. For everyday walks, the quiet residential streets throughout the city are perfect. We match each route to your dog’s age, pace, and personality.
Every Walk Includes
Dog Boarding in New Rochelle
When travel takes you away, our boarding gives your dog a warm, comfortable home away from home rather than a crowded kennel. Thumping Tails members enjoy real beds, regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention that keeps your dog’s routine and spirits right where they belong so you can travel with complete peace of mind.
Cat Sitting & Cat Care in New Rochelle
Cats are happiest in their own surroundings, so we come to them. Our in-home visits cover feeding, fresh water, litter care, medication if needed, and the companionship and play that keep your cat content while you’re away. We also care for birds, hamsters, and other small pets, and every visit ends with a photo update so you can check in from anywhere.

Reviews By Our Pet Lovers
Alix David
I have two cats who are very shy around strangers. One big exception, they love the people from Thumping Tails. They get petted, fed, litter scooped, talked to and get their pictures taken. It makes me feel good to get the photos to see they are doing well but just a wee bit jealous at how much my cats seem to love them! When i get home, i get the “oh it’s you, you’re back” look. I am beyond satisfied with the level of service we get from Thumping Tails. I know my cats are in good hands and being well taken care of.

We are a multi-household Thumping Tails user! Thumping Tails supports our family by taking such good care of our animal companions so we don't ever have to worry! Several of the Thumping Tails team members have been our consistent dog walkers- even though our schedule constantly changes. They are patient and persistent, as one of our dogs can be reactive or afraid of leaving the house with someone new. They follow the instructions we leave, which can be complicated. They always go that extra step- taking care to share about our dogs' experiences with them. We love their notes and their photographs of our dogs on their walks. We can't say enough about our experiences with Thumping Tails. One even braved petting one of our cats- who is lovely, but tends to bite when pet. When we received the photo, we were shocked LOL. These are really good people who take excellent care of animals and who also make sure your home is safe and secure when they leave. We are 100% confident in recommending Thumping Tails and that you'll be really glad to add them to your support team!
