We have used Fur Nanny for many years and have always had a great experience. The pet sitters are friendly, very dependable, and give our cats all the love and attention they need. We love the daily updates each visit along with the beautiful pictures of our animals that they include. We know we can always count on Fur Nanny to take great care of our pets whenever we are away. Very glad to have found them!

Used the service for the first time when we needed to travel for a long weekend. A kennel is stressful for our older dog - much easier for him to stay in his home environment. Everything was handled as instructed and with each visit we received an email report. Most importantly we came home to a happy dog - no stress!
