Wags & Whiskers Brings Loving, Reliable Pet-Sitting Services to Long Island

Samantha Hespos Editor

For many Long Island families, pets are far more than animals living in the home. They are companions, best friends and beloved members of the family. So when work, travel or everyday responsibilities take pet owners away, finding someone they can trust to care for their animals can be an important decision.

Wags & Whiskers — Tails & Treats Pet Sitting Services is offering local pet owners another option, providing personalized care designed to keep dogs and cats comfortable, happy and cared for when their families cannot be there.

With the message “Loving care when you can’t be there,” Wags & Whiskers offers several services based on the individual needs of pets and their owners.

Care That Comes to Your Pet

Among the services offered are drop-in visits, during which pets can be fed, played with and checked on while their owners are away.

For dogs needing exercise and some extra attention during the day, the business also provides dog-walking services, focusing on safe and enjoyable walks that help keep dogs active.

For families who will be away for longer periods, overnight stays are another option. Rather than requiring pets to leave their familiar surroundings, Wags & Whiskers stays in the client’s home, allowing pets to maintain more of their normal routine.

That can be especially meaningful for animals that are most comfortable sleeping in their own beds, eating in their usual spot and remaining in an environment they know.

Keeping Owners Connected

Being separated from a pet can be difficult for owners, too.

Wags & Whiskers says clients receive photos and updates, giving them an opportunity to see how their pets are doing while they’re away.

The service also emphasizes providing pets with plenty of love and attention and states that it is insured.

Its philosophy is summed up in a simple message:

“Because they’re family too.”

Supporting Long Island’s Pet Community

Long Island is home to countless people who consider their dogs, cats and other companion animals an essential part of their families. Local pet-care providers can play an important role for those who work long hours, travel, have family obligations or simply need an extra hand caring for their animals.

Having someone come into the home can also allow pets to receive attention and care without completely disrupting their familiar routines.

Wags & Whiskers describes its approach as “Trusted. Reliable. Tail-Wag Approved!” and its promotional materials feature some of the dogs and cats that represent the heart behind the service.

For Wags & Whiskers, however, the message ultimately comes down to the relationship people share with their animals:

“Your pets. Our passion.”
