Taddy’s Pet Services

Interesting to me that about two to three months ago this service started asking me to take down my review. So, 1.5 years after my first review you finally take notice that you aren’t making money and then want me to change my review. I find it interesting that all the 5 star reviews now have suddenly appeared within the past 2 – 3 months after the PR campaign they obviously went on with past customers.
Be wary. I will never trust this service again. Interesting that my pictures of how bad the service was are no longer showing…

Taddy’s knows their business! Was going to visit some friends out of town, and decided to give them a try. I was kind of nervous because I’m used to having friends watch my dog, but they took *great* care of my pup! :) I would definitely recommend using Taddy’s!

Having two crotchety cats, I don’t trust leaving them home alone.. .ever. Also, I just worry they get lonely without someone coming to the house in all actuality I’m sure they are happy to have some peace and quiet. I know they would be fine, but I just really want someone to swing by and at least try to love on my kitties. So I turn to Taddy’s for help when I am traveling for work. Getting to know my pet sitter I found out that he too had fish and offered to feed the fish once in a while when he was there. Thanks Garrett! I’m sure he just wanted to take a chance to steal some of my live bearer genes, which is fine! Take them! Fish don’t know how to protect themselves from unwanted pregnancies.
All in all, I am happy with my service that I get and will go back to them anytime I need some help with the fur babies!

Taddy’s — Garrett in particular– have been so great about making my life easier and ensuring my pets get wonderful attention while work has been so hectic. My dog requires medication during dinner, so it’s nice knowing that he can continue his treatment despite my busy schedule. I plan on continuing to use this company any time I go out of town in the future.

I LOVE Taddys! My two dogs, Ladybird and Dixie, absolutely adore the sitters! We have been so lucky to find a service in Dallas that we trust to take care of our babies. Every time I go out of town, I can rest assured knowing my girls are in good hands, and for any pet owner out there, that’s such a relief! The sitters are professional and my dogs love the amount of time and affection they get. Even Jack, my grumpy housecat, comes running when they get here.
I would highly recommend Taddy’s to anyone looking for a dependable and professional sitter or dogwalker.

Was introduced to Taddy’s by a friend. As a pet owner who would murder for my animals, I’m very selective about who they are entrusted to. Taddy’s has delivered and I feel 100% at ease with their services. Don’t let clowns take care of your animals, call Taddy’s!

I have had nothing but wonderful experiences with Taddy’s. I have a 13 year old chihuahua who is a little grumpy and stuck in his ways (ok, ok, he kind of hates 99% of people/​animals/​inanimate objects) so boarding is not an option for him. I love that when I am out of town his routine has minimal interruptions. Beyond that, Garrett has been very patient with the old coot to the point that Vito will actually come out of his kennel and cuddle with him on occasion and not just for food or a walk. I know my little guy can be a pain, and I appreciate their commitment to what they do.

As a pet parent of a 95 lbs dog it’s very hard for me to find people who can watch him He’s a huge part of my life and I worry about him when I can’t be around. It’s really puts me at ease to know that any time I need to go out of town their is a full team of people able to come over and see him. If I’m gonna be gone for a long while they even have people who will bring him into there home like their own pet and spoil him till I can make it back to him. Thank you Taddy’s, knowing that people are there to baby him makes it possible to focus on the trip and not on whether he’s ok.

Out of all the pet services in the DFW area Taddy’s is by far the best!
Eric the owner and all the sitters really go out of their way to make you feel comfortable about watching your pups. They send pics, texts, emails and even personal notes if I ask.
Thanks for the years of great service!

I’ve used Taddy’s for years and they’ve never let me down. My pup loves his walks and they are so accommodating to my crazy schedule, often adding an evening walk last minute because I can’t get home in time. Murray gets so excited when Starla comes to see him. Thanks Eric and your team.

We’ve been using Taddy’s over the last few months to watch our Whoodle puppy. I can’t begin to praise them enough! Their crew is trustworthy and reliable. They always show up when they say they will and take care of our puppy as if he were their own. Scheduling with them is very easy and their prices are competitive. I would highly recommend these guys for you and your pet.

We love Taddy’s and have been super happy. Now we couldn’t imagine going to a kennel with our dog. The price is comparable, the convenience is incredible and the service outstanding. We know our Phineas is well-​taken care of when Taddy’s is visiting him, and you can’t put a pricetag on peace of mind. The best part is the text message updates — love getting those! They will water plants, check mail. It’s great to know someone is checking in on your pet AND your house when you’re away. Highly recommend them.

If you are looking for a trustworthy service, keep looking because this is not it. Sadly for me & my beloved pets, I gave this company several chances. My last appointment in 2012 was very disappointing. My dogs got in a scuffle and their injuries were not reported to me.
I made it clear previously I wanted to know everything that occurs after every visit — for all 3 of my pets. I get back home & saw my dogs must have been in a scuffle with each other as the female had a rather deep puncture wound on her chest & a cut on her ear & my male had a cut on his ear. The cuts were scabbed up but the deep puncture wound was not because of the type of wound and her constant licking. I was gone for 2 weeks & had the same sitter from the service visit the pets twice a day. I notified both the company owner and sitter and sent pics to them. He denied the incident happened during the time his sitter visited & never offered any form of apology. Nice, huh? I told him this was the second time a wound was not reported to me. (My female had a scabbed cut on a previous visit that according to them must have also happened right after they left). If you have pets, you can understand now why I was so discontent with services… actually livid.
I regret giving them so many chances & so much money. $ 570 for this two week 2 visit/​day appointment… and not so much as an apology. As you can gather, client satisfaction and retention doesn’t mean much to this company.

I used Taddy’s for the first time for 13 days in July of 2012. I was so happy with the service I will never use anything else. I have used the dog lofts int he past to board my dog and whenever I go and pickup my dog she acts like she has not been cared for/​given any attention or fed well. I got daily emails after every drop in on my dog by the Taddy’s team as well as pictures upon request of my dog which made me so happy as I was far away. I am going away in two weeks and I already booked my next Taddy’s appointment for my dog, these guys are pros!

I can’t say enough good things about Taddys… funny name but seriously concerned about your pets. I’ve used them a couple of times while we’ve been on extended trips and once for just one night and they’ve been more than wonderful. We asked for and received daily updates on a log and through text messages. They even watered my plants, cleaned my pool filters, and gathered the mail.
I’ve used other services in the past where the sitters failed to pick up the poop in my yard, but with Taddys my yard has been poop free. And my neighbors said they were over at the house «a bunch».

I have used Taddys this summer on several trips and always been pleased with the service, professionalism and caring for my pets. My sitter seems to really know my dogs and doesn’t just leave me notes about she did the job but also about how the dogs were that day, funny little things they did and any house items of note. I so appreciate their care of my pups and feel they have great customer service and responses to my needs, inquiries and any concerns!
I’ll definitely continue to use Taddy’s and Linda!

New to Dallas I’d no family or close friends nearby to care for my cat during frequent business travel. Thank you Eric and team of sitters for taking care of Shack, not once, but twice nice. Each visit is documented with a note, text updates and a very spoiled kitten awaiting my return. We’ll continue to call on you’re services while here in Dallas.

We used this service for 4 months, 3 days per week, from Sept-​Dec 2010. We had recently moved to Dallas from another city where we had a wonderful dog-​walker that went the extra mile. Unfortunately, Taddy’s did not go the extra mile and we switched to another service.
Our walker would routinely write notes using the incorrect names for us and our dogs. I can understand this in the first month or so, but if, after 3 months of walking our dogs he doesn’t know their names, then we are concerned. He would also forget to let us know that he came by the house, which was one of the things we specifically asked for when we started using their services. There were times when I emailed both the owner and our walker to try to get a response and noone responded to me. There were several potty accidents in our house that never happened with either our previous dog walker or the new one we’ve found. Both the walker we were using previously (before we moved to Dallas) and our current walker expressed a lot of enthusiasm and affection for our dogs, and the Taddy’s walker did not.
On the last walk we had with this service, our dog was injured. We do not think in any way that this was the walker’s fault, but his communication didn’t express concern for our dog and his health, it focused on making sure we knew that it wasn’t his fault. This is also not what we’re looking for.
The other issue we found was that communication with the owner was not consistent. Using the service 3x per week, we expected to fall into a good routine and have it run smoothly, but it never did. Sometimes we would receive an email confirmation of our weekly services, and sometimes we did not. One week we only had two walks and our price was changed, which was fine, but we were never notified (not even an email) about the price change. Our credit card was charged and that was the only way we found out.
Overall, we have definitely had better.
