Dog Walking, Boarding & Cat Care in Stamford, CT
Stamford blends the energy of a thriving downtown with the calm of Long Island Sound waterfront living a city of high-rises and harbor-front boardwalks, leafy residential neighborhoods, and an impressive collection of parks. It’s a great place to be a pet, and Thumping Tails is here to help you care for yours. We provide professional dog walking, comfortable boarding, and attentive in-home cat care for families across Stamford, from downtown and Harbor Point to the Cove, Shippan, Glenbrook, and beyond.
Between demanding workdays, the commute, and Stamford’s fast pace, 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 well looked after.
Dog Walking in Stamford
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.
Stamford is full of great places to walk a dog, and we know them well. Leashed dogs love the restored riverfront and walking paths of Mill River Park downtown, the one-mile shoreline loop at Cove Island Park, and the nearly 400 wooded acres of Mianus River Park that span the Stamford-Greenwich line. For off-leash play, the Southfield Dog Exercise Area gives pups a secure place to run. We tailor each route to your dog’s age, pace, and personality, and always follow current park rules and leash requirements.
Every Walk Includes
Dog Boarding in Stamford
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 Stamford
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, with a photo update after every visit.
