I had great experiences with Furry Godmothers several years ago when I lived in a different home, but hadn't worked with them since. When a recent trip came up and our usual house sitter was unavailable, I was delighted to see that the 'mothers are still around and still loving on Austin's pets!
Thanks to Jody for checking in on our cat daily while we were away. She is AWESOME at communication. First, there were a few emails and a questionnaire to get the ball rolling, then she came and visited our home and pets and gave me a few ideas for making the experience of being left home alone far less traumatizing for our cat. While we were gone, she sent a few email updates and a photo, including a request to inform her when we returned so she would know that we were okay and our pet was too. AND she emailed the next day to check in on our cat and make sure everyone was happy. Each time, she made us feel like our cat was the most important pet in the world -- which is exactly how we, as pet owners, feel!
I can tell you that this is an uncommon level of care and communication, based on my experience with other pet sitting and boarding arrangements here in Austin. The rates were great too. I'm very grateful to the Furry Godmothers and so is our kitty! Thanks Jody! read more
