Best dog walking company. They are so easy to book with and my dogs warmed up super fast. I love the report cards from each visit. Would recommend to anyone with pets. read more

Recently used Furry Godmother for several days of overnight pet sitting and mid-day visits. We have two large dogs, one just a year old (so still puppy-ish) and a cat. Joyce did a fantastic job! The pets were well cared for- we received an update and photos with every visit. Communication was clear. We have only recently needed care for our pets (in the past we always had family members stay) so this was a scary step for us. It's really hard to enjoy a vacation or time away when you're worried about your pets at home. I searched Next Door for options and read about several unfortunate pet sitting situations and then remembered a friend using Furry Godmother several years ago and I was very glad they are still around. I'm happy we found Furry Godmother and will continue to use them. read more

I almost don't want to leave a review. Almost. That's because Furry Godmother's pet sitters are so awesome, I want to make sure they're always available for MY pets! We've used Furry Godmother at least 5-6 times over the past three years. We do 30 minute checks on our cats when we go out of town. The service's website makes it easy to request services virtually, no phone calls or texts needed. You can leave detailed notes about each pet, their routines, house access, etc. After each visit, we get a couple of photos plus a description of how the cats are doing. We've had perfect attendance from the sitters--we have never been left hanging. The sitters are great about following directions. They always feed our cats as instructed, scoop litter, provide some pets, top off water, and secure the house. Sometimes they've even done light house work like sweeping the floor or bringing in mail. The pet pictures they send always give us peace of mind while we're gone. Sometimes we've gotten sitters who have left comments about repeat visits and their history with our cats, which we love. I appreciate the service, and we'll keep using them for our pets. read more

Furry Godmother - Example of a service report on cat sitting. Includes details of services performed, including cat visit and litter box cleaning. - Dog Walkers Near Me

We've been using Furry Godmother for cat sitting for seven years. The client portal is extremely self-explanatory and reliable. And the pet sitters are always consistent, kind, and helpful! They go above and beyond. We have two very anxious cats, who are nervous around new people, but I always know they're in good hands with Furry Godmother. Every day, the updates come in via email like clockwork and they reassure us that our cats (and home) are doing well. Highly recommend! read more

Used Furry Godmother for first time this past weekend when my regular Walker was unavailable. I loved the secure and thorough sign up on their site and the attention to gathering good instructions.

I was recommended to FG by a former neighbor who had a great experience with this company. I have had them visit my dog when I go out of town for work, and I couldn't be happier with the ease of scheduling/payment (via a secure portal) as well as the communication from Esta. The employees are loving and trustworthy as well, and I always get a brief synopsis (via email) of their visit accompanied by photos of my fur baby having fun. Highly recommend this locally owned biz! read more

Furry Godmother - Actual pic of my baby during a visit! - Dog Walkers Near Me

We just moved to the Indianapolis area from Chicago a few months ago and decided to try the Furry Godmother to take care of our two cats when we went out of town. Our experience has been fantastic! The owner of the company, Esta, is friendly and helpful. I like the fact that she runs this as a business, so the people who work for her are dedicated and experienced. Before finding Esta and Furry Godmother, we had a few false starts from sitters who ultimately didn't cover our area (Fishers/Geist). Because FG has numerous full-time and part-time employees, it sounds like they can cover many different areas. We met the woman who would be our normal sitter when available (Jane), and I felt great about leaving our kitties in her care. Overall, I highly recommend and the Furry Godmother will continue to be our first-choice pet sitter. read more

Furry Godmother - Dog Walkers Near Me

We have been using this service for just about seven years now and for good reasons. They LOVE my boy, Truman. To know his back story helps paint the picture...we used to use a well known kennel in Avon, but Truman was abused there. To this day, he has never been the same. However, with Furry Godmother, Truman never has to leave the comfort of his own home. He gets to have "friends" come over, feed him, take him on walks and give him tons of scratches and attention. He is SAFE with them and that feeling is priceless. A special touch they provide is an email report with each visit that includes photos of how he's doing. When we're away and missing our baby, those emails are just heart warming and give us a peace of mind that our home and precious fur-baby is safe. I strongly recommend this service to anyone who loves their dog!! read more

Furry Godmother is so very helpful to me and my cat, Bennie! I love them for the convenience and the care that they provide to Bennie. But, even more, he responds better to them than to the other pet-sitting options I have tried, i.e. boarding and friends coming to my home. When I return from being out of town, he is content, but happy to see me. I had a recent issue where I entered the wrong month into the dates of service for them to come to my home. I called in a panic, as he had been by himself for four nights. They came to my home within and hour and assured me that he was fine. They played with him and gave him extra love and snuggles! read more

Furry Godmother - Dog Walkers Near Me

We love our Furry Godmother. I've been using Esta for 9 years to care for our clan of dogs. I'm writing this review and giving her services a perfect rating because after Esta and her team being in my home a few hundred times, I've never been disappointed. Not one time. I can't think of any other service I can honestly say that about. I don't have kids and over indulge my dogs and appreciate how anytime she is needed, I don't worry about the care and love they will receive. It's great to get the little updates and photos when traveling. I fully trust her and am delighted to provide this endorsement. read more

Furry Godmother - "Ketchup" the big brown baby. - Dog Walkers Near Me

My vet recommended Furry Godmother and I'm certainly glad they did. I have two cats and I have been using their services for 3 years now. They are so flexible and the process could not be easier. I book two 30 minute visits for each day that I plan on being out of town. Within their portal, I provided step by step instructions for each morning and each evening visit. After each visit I received a detailed summary of what they did, how my pets are doing, and amazing photos. Special thanks to Tawsha for introducing my cats to their new favorite toy. It's now called THE TOY because it's the only one they want to play with anymore. Esta was kind enough to ship me one. Thank you! I highly recommend you give them a try! read more

We have used Furry Godmother for probably 6 years now. They have, not once, disappointed me. They walked my frenchies (well, they don't really walk very far.. so potty breaks and snuggles ) for years. It gave us the help we needed when my husband was traveling and I was working long hours. Every visit is followed with a prompt email update that includes details of the visit and pictures of my babies. Each walker has always been so kind with their words, even expressing sincere condolences when we have lost our fur babies. Scheduling is extremely easy and user friendly. They have been accommodating even with last minute requests. I love being able to support a small local business vs the commercial dog walking sites available. The owner, Esta, is a real person who actually communicates directly with me whenever there are questions. She loves animals fiercely and it shows. We now have a rescue lab mix that appreciates a long walk to work out some energy. Each walker has been patient and understanding with him learning his manners. I am so very grateful for finding this amazing business so many years ago. I trust these people being in our home when we are gone. Their detail oriented service allows me to feel at peace that my dogs are well cared for during their visit. Support small and book with Furry Godmother! read more

If you are looking for a GREAT dog or cat sitter, then Furry Godmother is the answer you've been searching for !! I've used Furry Godmother a handful of times and have had Esta take care of both our dog Daisy and cat Nala. They have always been accommodating to even our last minute booking requests! Esta has been such a wonderful caretaker to both of our pets every single time. You can tell that she treats them as her own. Esta takes the initiative to brush Daisy, even though we've never asked her to and I always find Daisy cleaner than before her stay! Daisy gets plenty of play time outside too. read more

Absolutely fantastic pet setting service. We recently went to Costa Rica for a week and Furry Godmother took excellent care of our two cats. We received updates every visit with pictures and came home to two relaxed and happy kitties. The website is extremely easy to use and Esta is super responsive. Trisha came by and got acquainted with our cats and asked a lot of questions about their likes and dislikes, care routine, health. Was easy to relax on vacation knowing our cats where being taken care of by such wonderful people. Highly recommend! read more

The Furry Godmother has done an amazing job taking care of my cat over the years. I've used their services when I've been out of town and need a pet sitter.

They would send little reports every time they checked on my cat, including pictures (the pic below is one they sent in their report). I would highly recommend them for your pet needs. read more

I am grateful for this service. My one dog has become overly stressed when boarding and she comes back injured and hoarse from trying to escape. It's not the boarding place fault. My dog is just anxious. So with both dogs here, they feel safe. Furry Godmother comes, plays with them, gives them treats, let's them out, and takes them on walks. The dogs are well taken care of while we enjoy our time away. We absolutely appreciate this service on a recommendation from a neighbor. Thanks for making it possible for us to get away for a long weekend occasionally! They even send photos and a report each visit. We will absolutely use again! read more

I've now used Furry Godmother twice for drop-in services for my cats, including once for two and a half weeks. They took good care of my two cats, sending pictures, getting to know them and keeping the place tidy, even with my somewhat messy critters. I appreciated the peace of mind knowing my cats were taken care of and getting pictures every day! read more

Furry Godmother is a wonderful group of pet sitters. I have used them many times for cat sitting when I go away for a few days. I have a diva cat who demands attention but not too much attention, and has been known to nip when you read his intentions incorrectly. Tawsha is an especially kind human who has our Alexa play his favorite music while she is visiting with him. The peace of mind in knowing your fur baby is cared for and happy is priceless, and the pictures you receive in your daily visit emails are an awesome touch. Below is a picture from one such email! I highly recommend utilizing Furry Godmother for both daily check ins or for times when you are away and need someone to stop by for a little longer. read more

Furry Godmother - Dog Walkers Near Me

I've been using furry godmother for almost a year now. Their services have been fantastic for my 2 cats when I travel. I live in an apartment and they have a lockbox set up so they can access my key easily. The whole process is simple. I also love the daily visit summary emails they send to update me on how my pets are doing. They always include the most adorable pictures. I didn't want to board my cats when I travelled, so this had been a great alternative to provide the care they need but also leave them in the comfort of their own home. read more

We are recent transplants to the Indianapolis area and were in need of a pet sitter for our 2 Guinea Pigs. Finding reliable care for small pets isn't always easy. I was very happy when we found Furry Godmother. Our sitter Jackie has Guinea Pig experience, is always on time and gives our pigs fabulous care. Even with my mind lapses (as in forgetting to book Thanksgiving week care until the week before) they were still able to accommodate! We cannot recommend them enough! read more

This crew of amazing people are the best. I trust them 14/10 with my fur baby. Absolutely recommend!!

We have been relying on Esta and her team for over 2 years. We initially started using Furry Godmother for midday walks and then transitioned into using them for overnight stays. They are dependable, trustworthy and somehow manage to always get the best pictures of the pups (not an easy task) when they send updates. Most importantly, all three of our dogs absolutely love their furry godmothers. If you are in need of a reliable, friendly, and trustworthy dog walkers, look no further. You and your pets will love Furry Godmother. read more

Furry Godmother is absolutely wonderful. The FG team has been taking care of my pets for 10 years. I have a disgruntled cat, but they love her despite her ungrateful behavior and always send me great photos. And they loved my dog like their own -- even carrying her home when she refused to take 1 more step in the snow. I would not trust anyone else to take such good care of my furry babies. read more

Furry Godmother - Dog Walkers Near Me

The best you can get! As a Yelp dependent shopper, I did not know where to start looking for a dog walker! I couldn't find anything on Yelp! (Which was difficult for someone like me!) I live in the downtown Indianapolis area and went through a list I found on Google of 5-10 dog walkers which covered my area before choosing Esta. Since I am new to the area, I did not have any friends to recommend a dog walker to me before I did my research - so I was starting with a blank slate. For me, it was important to find someone that I could trust with a key to my home, as well as trust with my little puppy outside and near busy streets. (I live downtown.) Esta was exactly the person we were looking for! Esta came to my home to meet my puppy, Charlie, and I - and arrived with a huge smile and a tennis ball for Mr. Charlie to play with. Charlie immediately loved Esta's bubbly and smiley personality, and I was sure that Charlie would be happy with her. After our free meet & greet session, I instantly knew she would work great for us! One thing that directly drew me to choosing her was her communication. For me, communication is huge!!! I like someone who responds quickly and doesn't leave me hanging. Esta constantly responds to calls, texts, emails - IMMEDIATELY! This is a big factor for me, when deciding on trusting someone with my little baby's life. So I am going on week two of having Esta let Charlie out twice a week, around lunchtime. I typed up some guidelines for Esta (so caters to every request) - such as where to walk Charlie, what commands to use with Charlie - as well as feeding Charlie after the walk. Esta leaves a note every day, (and sometimes goodies) journaling how the day went and some nice feedback on Charlie. She also texts at least 3 photos to me with each visit - WHICH I LOVE! Then I get to see Charlie and see how happy he is, even from my desk at work. So far, we are very satisfied in our choice with Esta!! She was on the more expensive side, but I believe, you get what you pay for. She is very dependable and assured us that even in the worst snow storms, her and her team of girls will always show up to let Charlie out - which is just another reason we love her so far. If you are looking for a dog walker, look no more - "Your Furry Godmother" is practically purrfect in everyway. ;) read more

The staff at Furry Godmother did a purrrrfect job taking care of my fur baby while I was out of town. I was in desperate need of a last minute sitter. Of course, I checked Yelp for some recommendations. Based upon the meow-nificent reviews by my fellow Yelpers, I decided to give Furry Godmother. Esta, the owner, responded to me within 24 hour and had everything set up and ready to go in no time. Plus, they were very affordable offering different levels of care. While I was away, I received text and e-mail updates daily including pictures. When I returned home, I could tell that my fur baby was well taken care of. Thank you, Furry Godmother! I'm pawsitive that I will use their services again and can not recommend them enough to others! read more
