Fatima is the best pet-sitter! We trust her completely with our 2 chocolate labs. I was a bit stressed about being 4500 miles away from our dogs which included a 10-month old puppy. Fatima eased my concerns, giving me daily updates. We've used Furry Kids multiple times and I feel like Fatima is a great house sitter as well, she brought in all of our mail and packages. She is trustworthy, professional and I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a pet-sitter. Thank you Fatima!

We couldn't be happier with Furry Kids Sitter services. We have been a customer for 4 years and would be lost without them! Professional, trustworthy, reliable, and very accommodating. I always know our girl is in good hands with them. Thank you!

As my husband said, has been taking care of our boys for over a decade. Always going above and beyond. Always there when we need. I don't let just anyone into the sacred space of our home! Truly a part of our family. I wouldn't trust anyone else with our pups. In fact I trust furry kids more than some of my family and friends!

Furry kids sitter has been our mid-day pet sitter for well over a decade now. She is always as flexible as she can (cancellations or last minute extra visits). She has backup sitters when she's on vacation that only she trusts. Her fees are reasonable and she's willing to do extra things like bringing in mail or garbage cans. When one of our. dogs passed on, we know she was very heart broken which just goes to show that she's as big of a part of your pets lives as you are.
First time customers require a first visit while you're home to ensure both sides connect. If you've ever gone to a GOOD boarding kennel, they are the same way. You aren't just dropping off keys or a garage code to a stranger and hoping for the best.
