Pupdates from a Furry Murray always give the pick-me-up I need, either through video or photo.

Amy G.

Furry Murray has been the best stand-in carers for my puppy that I could ever ask for! Lots of research went into choosing who we would allow to care for our puppy while we are in office 1 - 2 days a week, and Furry Murray come out on top for both cost and being insured. The stop by potty breaks are a life saver, and I cannot wait until my little lady is a bit older and can join the fun at daycare! Helen and her team (family!) have been a pleasure to work with, the scheduling app is easy to use, and the pupdates are my favorite :) Thank you Furry Murray for being so great!!

This review is looooong overdue. Helen and John having been taking care of our pup for the last 2 years and I can say that when I go on vacation, Zuko also gets to go on vacation. He loves being at Furry Murray. They send pictures and videos everyday which ease my mind when I am traveling Furry Murray also provides daycare services which I like to book whenever Zuko needs more socialization with other dogs. It's always easy to book and communicate with them and are very attentive to our needs. We rely on Helen and John so much I couldn't recommend them enough.

I was driving down N.Texas and ended up right behind their van! I thought their name was super cute so decided to check them out. They were super responsive, with reasonable rates and able to get our little guy in quick! Love that we found this place and we will definitely be using from now on.

I first heard about Furry Murray in 2018 from my coworker. She raved about how much fun her pup had, but at the time I didn't have a need for doggy daycare. But I kept them in mind. Fast forward to 2021. I had just moved and my pup Kuma has been experiencing extreme separation anxiety and escaping the yard! The process was really simple. I gave Helen a call and told her I was interested in doggy daycare. She told me general information and emailed me the application. I sent in the application and my dog's vaccine records. A week or two later was Kuma's first trial day at Furry Murray! Helen texted me that morning and let me know she would be able to receive Kuma early if I'd like to drop him off sooner. She also gave a helpful description of her house. I was very nervous leaving him since his first time with my friend resulted in him pacing and jumping into their pool. But Helen reassured me. She texted multiple photos and a video (pupdates)! I definitely felt more at ease and knew my pup was in good hands. At pick up Helen told me how he did (well with other dogs but shy with people) and suggested another trial day to get him comfortable. The second trial I opted for 7:30am - 5:30pm. My full work day. Again I got photo and video pupdates. Kuma was definitely happy being able to play with other dogs all day. And I had peace of mind knowing he would be cared for by great people! Well worth the $25 a day. The third time Helen offered Furry Murray munchies (homemade cookies) and chicken jerky. I opted to purchase some cookies. Kuma loved them! I'm so glad I reached out to Furry Murray!

We have put off vacations and traveling because we hate to leave our little fur baby, Bay Lee behind. We were so happy to find Furry Murray. Bay Lee spent 6 days there this past week. She was able to stay in a comfortable home environment . We were able to enjoy our trip without worrying . We enjoyed seeing the pup dates and how our baby was doing each day. When we picked her up she was happy, healthy and smelled great from the bath we asked Helen to give her. We were so blessed to find them. I highly recommend Furry Murray ! They are the Best!

I have been taking my pups to Helen the last few months and she is great. My dogs come home tired and I feel good knowing they are in good hands while I am at work or running errands.

Happy pup home after a few days with Furry Murry.

There are ONLY positive things that you can say about Furry Murry, from my initial phone call to set up a week stay for my pup, to using Furry Murray's services multiple times for just doggy daycare during our home renovations - they will LOVE on your pup, and treat them like family. You get daily updates (PUPdates) with videos and photos of your pets, and you can really see how much fun they're having. They offer many "amenities" for your pup - and mine came home smelling AMAZING after a great bath and his Batman bandana! Their prices are more than fair for how well your pup is taken care of. I couldn't be more happy with Furry Murry and would recommend them to anyone that wants to ensure their family member is taken care of and is in safe hands.

Furry Murray is the best! In March of this year, I needed someone to take my pups out for potty breaks in the afternoon, feed them dinner and take them out for their evening walks while I was out of town (my husband works until 9pm). I was a little hesitant to have someone else other than my parents take care of Kai and Umi, but Furry Murray did not disappoint! They are so gentle and patient with my pups. They sent us pupdates during the potty breaks and walks which I loved. Since then, I have requested numerous potty breaks from them and am satisfied with all they have done for us. Needless to say, I will continue to use their services! Thank you Furry Murray! Here are pictures of some of the pupdates we received....

I have not one bad thing to say about this business. So professional but even more so friendly and warm. We've used them twice now and chose the in-home pet sitting option because we have so many animals. Every time we come home our dogs are happy and not anxious at all. They send you daily "pup-dates" with adorable pictures of your fur babies throughout the day that always have us cracking up. You can tell they truly love what they do and not only are your pets taken care of but they're loved on. If I could give 6 stars I would, also very affordable and flexible with your schedule. Highly recommend!

Furry Murray's Helen and John have been taking care of our fur babies - 12 year old Cara and 1 year old Tia - for about 6 months now. Tia goes to their Doggy Daycare twice a week, and both girls get walks twice a week as well. Tia is getting well socialized, and Cara is getting essential exercise as an active senior pup. The girls love John and Helen, and so do we. We never have to worry about our babies, or wonder if they're being cared for. We're going on our first pet-free vacation in a few weeks, and it's such a relief to know that John and Helen will take care of the girls just like we would. There's not enough good stuff we can say about them, we love Furry Murray!!! read more

She sends him home with packs of treats, gives him bday gifts and cards, and even gives me fresh peaches from her tree :) I can text her last minute, and she's always willing to take Finley for the day, it's so convenient! She even gives us a price break when we pick him up early. I'm so grateful to Helen and Furry Murray!! read more

I found Furry Murray on Yelp, and I have got to say that Furry Murray is the absolute best! I contacted Helen for a quote to watch my little yorkie, Merlin, while my family went on vacation for one week. She respond within minutes of my request and I must say that her price was extremely fair...especially since I booked Merlin's stay during a high peak travel season in July. I am skeptical about letting pet sitters stay in my home while I am away, so I was excited when I found out that Helen will pet sit from the comfort of her home! After reading all the other great reviews on Yelp I knew that Merlin would be taken care of. I dropped Merlin off around 7 pm on a Friday evening and noticed there were a couple of other dogs there (good news for me because I knew Merlin would have some play time with other dogs). I received daily "pup-dates" of Merlin either walking around the yard, hanging out in the house, or playing with other dogs and it really put my mind at ease knowing he was in great hands. When I picked Merlin up it was almost like he didn't want to leave! Although he was happy to see me, he kept trying to get back into Helen's arms! If you need a pet sitter, do not hesitate to leave your pup with Helen! I will definitely be using her services again! read more

Furry Murray is the absolute best pet sitting service! They take such good care of my one year old Goldendoodle, Mac. It is such a relief to know that he is well taken care of while I'm away at work/ on vacation. They send "pupdates" throughout the day and he is always outside having a great time with the other dogs they watch! This is a wonderful way for him to socialize/ exercise and have companionship while I'm away! It is well worth the money every time to know that your dog is cared for. I am so glad I found them, I can't express enough how professional and friendly the owners are! We also buy their homemade, organic dog treats which Mac LOVES! I know Mac is always in good hands with Furry Murray and every time I drive him to their house is tail is wagging and he can't wait to spend time at his home away from home. Thank you Furry Murray!! read more

If you love your fur children and are anxious about finding a good pet sitter while you're out of town or just for a day while you're at work - look no further! Furry Murray is THE place to bring your pup. I have never felt more at ease with leaving my pup with someone. I went out of town for 8 days and every single day I got amazing videos and pictures of Remington playing, getting treats, and receiving love and affection. He even got a bath and came back to me smelling and looking better than when I dropped him off! This is the best in-home doggy care I have ever seen. The environment is clean and all the animals have a great big fenced in back yard to play in. Helen and John provided the best care for Remi and were so so kind to me. It is very obvious they have a true love for animals, and know what they are doing. I am so happy I heard about them, and beyond grateful for everything they did for my pup. You will not regret bringing your pup to them. This will be your pet's home away from home. read more

What a true blessing finding "Furry Murry" to look after my friend "Murphy" while I was away. The daily updates, pictures and video clips of Murphy's stay were truly comforting. Murphy was immediately folded right into the "Furry Murry" family and friends and the attention he received was inspiring. The warm welcoming atmosphere, the clean back yard, the soothing sleeping area, I knew Murphy was in great care. Super accommodating drop-off and pick-up.

Of all the places I've ever taken my dog Clover, this is hands-down my favorite place. Helen and John are super friendly. They were able to help me last-minute cause my plans didn't work out the way I was expecting. They were very flexible with price for boarding Clover for an extended period. Visiting Clover when I was available was a bit difficult, but I completely understand because John has another job and Helen does other services for other customers such as dog walking. All I had to do was coordinate with Helen when I could stop by and play with Clover and the other dogs Helen is watching in the backyard or take Clover out to the park. They provided Clover with exceptional care and treatment. Thanks so much Helen and John. Y'all are amazing! read more

A trustworthy and affordable pet sitting service is hard to come by but Helen and her husband John do a great job of providing both! We started going here shortly after we got our pup - and as new dog owners we were unsure of what types of things to look for. Right away Helen was responsive and professional and answered all of our concerns. We toured her house and they've done a great job at making the space feel welcoming and clean. The best part is whenever you leave your pet, whether it's for a daycare or for a week stay you can expect regular "pup-date" video clips where they're checking in and making us feel connected even when we're far away. Helen keeps clients files up to date, and even reminded us that our dogs vaccinations needed to be updated before booking any future reservations. Thank you Furry Murray! read more

It has been a blessing to have Furry Murray nearby! I was lucky to come across them here on yelp, I couldn't believe all the great services they offer too. We opted for the house visits for our 3 pups, our turtle and fishy! I was shocked at house easy the house visit process was and it just gave us so much more peace of mind while away. We went on Vacation for 6 days and while normally I would have family come over to help with our 5 pets , family was coming on vacation too so I originally took to yelp looking to board my pups and I was growing more and more concerned for my turtle and fish. LUCKILY, I came across Furry Murray who to my disbelief was able to do house visits. Everything was super simple , we had 1 meet & greet visit with Helen & John prior to our vacation and in that short hour visit we were able to see they were both caring pup lovers too! Our babies immediately took to them and were totally comfortable. I filled a form out with feeding instructions for all five pets and they were able to visit twice a day and sent us photos and videos (Pupdates!) with each visit! Not only did we have the peace of mind of them taking great care of our babies we had the cute pupdates too! Not to mention they kept everything super clean (one of my pups has "accidents"), including helping me make sure my turtle & fish tanks stay clear. Super Appreciated! Overall, I can't wait to use Furry Murray again! Helen & John are to great trustworthy people that my pups love :) read more

Helen and John are absolutely amazing with the dogs and made us feel at ease leaving her the first time. They took the time to meet us and Maple to ensure she would fit well with the other dogs, which she did :-) Helen always takes the time to brief us on how Maple did that day and we love getting the videos and pics throughout the day. Their home and backyard are always clean and plenty of water for the pups. We left Maple for 4 nights and we had no reservations that she would be fine. When we bring Maple to drop her off, as soon as she reaches the walkway she's pulling hard to get in the door and is sooooo excited, it makes us happy to see she's so anxious to go. Also, we love that they will shampoo her for us as trying to shampoo a 56 pound pup can be challenging and she smells so good when we pick her up. Helen makes the best chicken jerkey for the pups and Maple loves it! Thank you Helen & John for making Maple's time there so fun and happy. Lisa & Ted Armstrong read more

Very respectful and accommodating. Highly recommend them for anyone in the area, as they were able to not only squeeze us in for the meet and greet but also squeeze us in almost last minute as their new clients. Definitely recommend them and our pups Apollo and Queenie loved them. The daily updates sent via photos and videos were the extra mile and their photo skills are great too! read more

Furry Murray Dog siting has come to the rescue on many accounts for me and my loved fur baby. I have never been turned away, even when it has been last minute. These people are great with dogs and I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of sitting. It's hard to trust anyone these days with your beloved dog but at least I know I have found that trust here. (I even get photo updates, when I'm missing the pup) read more

Over the years we have used many local kennel services, and never quite felt comfortable with how our puppy was being taken care of...that is until we found Furry Murray! Helen and John have done a fantastic job with our dog. Over the past several years we have used their dog walking service, doggy day care and overnight sitting. During day care and overnight sitting we have enjoyed the numerous photos and videos of our pup having a good time with the other dogs. They do a great job with making sure our older pup gets the right amount of attention and care. She has also loved their homemade assortment of doggy cookies and jerky treats (which are reasonably priced). We have really loved using Furry Murray for our dog and highly recommend them for your pup! read more

Helen was able to take care of our girl at short notice. And at first visit our girl Nala was eager to come inside her house which is atypical. Her home felt right and meeting Helen gave us a sense of peace that our girl will be at a great place. And everyday we were away Helen was very responsive and also gave us "pupdates" often which gave us a sense of peace seeing our girl was doing well while away from us. I definitely will use their service again and would recommend to any of our friends and family. read more

TDGS passed all of our investigative research with flying colors. Joy is the very structured and organized, she is the consummate professional.

She's got a big heart for the pets in her care; she hugs them, pets them and loves on them as if they're her own. We especially like that our girls are not caged, they have the freedom to roam and to be well attended to. Both Joy and Regina gives our girls all the attention, care, concern and loving we could ever hope for. Most boarding is more expensive, but even they won't provide your fur babies a more caring and loving environment. In the absence of home they are the next best thing. We totally endorse their boarding business.

Bran is our 11-year-old senior who had never been boarded, and Frankie (aka Potato) is our 15-month-old Goldendoodle, so leaving them for almost two weeks was a BIG deal for this fur mama! Before our trip, Jessica, one of the managers, made sure the boys had meet-and-greets, daycare visits, and even an overnight stay so they could become familiar with the staff and the staff could see how they adjusted. I loved that they took these extra steps instead of simply accepting our dogs for boarding. It showed me that the dogs' comfort, happiness, and safety truly come first. Their secure drop-off/pick-up process also gave me peace of mind. During their stay, the boys had potty breaks, daycare, playtime and socialization, and we received daily messages and photos. Seeing them happy while we were away was so reassuring. I was especially worried about Bran because he's our cranky little senior , but the staff clearly knows dogs and how to work with different personalities. Bran and Frankie even shared a suite together, and they did great! After almost two weeks, we picked up two happy, clean, great-smelling pups with no signs of stress. Honestly, I don't think they missed us--they were too busy enjoying their own vacation! A huge thank you to Jessica, Lily, Samantha, and the entire staff for taking such wonderful care of our Bran Muffin and Frankie Potato.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Helen of Furry Murray, and I would do so with passion. Here's why: I've had the fantastic opportunity now to work with Furry Murray two times (and especially Helen) since December. In December, she watched our boys, Johnnie and Zorro, the two most beautiful cats you have ever seen. And they are indeed members of our family. For several reasons, we found ourselves looking for a pet sitter within a few days before the departure for our Christmas vacation in San Diego with our daughter and her family, which includes three beautiful granddaughters, all under the age of six. So, finding a pet sitter and going to San Diego was equally as important, leaving one family we love dearly for another. Unfortunately, we had to rush Helen's first visit at our home to meet the boys--thus, Helen didn't have enough time to get acquainted with Johnnie and Zorro, so to say the least, I was indeed worried. But Helen, during her first two visits (two visits per day), spent time just talking to them, not approaching them, and then slowly approached as they became acquainted with her voice. By day two, she was next to them, petting, talking and giving them all sorts of love and attention. Helen is the third pet sitter we've tried out in a year and the only one of the three to which the boys became comfortable. She spent the time with our cats (and a little more) that she promised to give us and completed all other chores exceptionally well. Helen is good with animals but humans too. She communicates well and to work with her is a pleasure. Then in January, my wife went to San Diego to babysit the granddaughters, and I stayed home alone. But I ended up in the hospital and needed someone to watch the cats for a day before my wife could get back to Vacaville. I called up Helen in a panic! She calmed me down and said she could visit Johnnie and Zorro immediately. She didn't even charge a premium for a last-minute call out, although I paid her extra anyway because she deserved it. Sincerely, Joseph Whitson of Vacaville read more

I have an incredibly shy kitten, and we live in an area that is new to both of us. When I needed to go out of town, therefore, I didn't have friend to call and had to turn to a pet sitting service--something I'd never done before. I researched and found some big companies then read various reviews--some of which absolutely terrified me. Finally I did some more research and found three possible smaller companies, one of which was Furry Murray. I called and left my information and received a call back from Helen the next day. We talked for a while on the phone, and I felt very comfortable with her, so we then scheduled an in-person appointment to discuss the possibility of her coming into my home twice a day to care for Gracie. Leaving on my trip was hard. I felt so guilty and so worried that Gracie wouldn't understand and would think she'd been left. Helen put me at ease the first day by sending a video and pictures. Gracie spent the entire visit hiding under the bed, but she was okay. The next day was the same, but there were more pictures and on the third day I sent a video of myself to Helen so she could show it to Gracie. (I thought maybe hearing my voice would help. Yeah, it was as ineffective as you might expect, but the point is, Helen was willing to try.) On the next visit I suggested putting on some cat TV for Gracie before Helen left and that seemed to do the trick. The visit after that Gracie came out from under the bed, and Helen got to see what a little lover my kitty is. When I got home after 1 week away, Gracie was perfectly fine and content, and I had been able to relax and not worry. Helen took such good care of my little girl and her very nervous mommy. Thank you, Helen! I know you were here looking after Gracie, but with your texts, videos and photos, you really took care of us both. If you are in the Fairfield area and need pet care, I highly recommend calling Helen at Furry Murray! I am so very pleased I did. read more

If I could give Furry Murray more than 5 stars, I definitely would!! I was going to NY for Christmas, had a place to board my dog, but found out he would be alone on Christmas and New Years. That was not going to work for me, so I sent a desperate email to several dog sitting services. Several services responded, but Furry Murray stood out. I had a phone conversation with Helen, then took Cherokee to meet her. I was leaving for NY the next morning, so this was my last hope. I met Helen and her husband, and from the moment I met them, I knew Cherokee would be ok. It took a moment for everyone to get use to each other, but it was so totally clear that Helen and her husband love dogs, and they would take good care of Cherokee. Within 5 or so minutes, Helen was holding Cherokee who was still on his leash, and he felt so comfortable that he started to take Helen around exploring in her house. Helen said that she would send daily pup-dates on how Cherokee was doing. She ended up sending 2-3 pup-dates everyday as pics or videos. I loved receiving them because I could see that Cherokee was having a good time, and they reassured me that he was ok, and that I had left him with the right people. Helen's fee is reasonable and she is flexible, which is very helpful when schedules can tend to change. I cannot say enough about how happy I am that I found Helen and Furry Murray. She and her husband are two of the nicest people you could meet, and they are the absolute best!! I will definitely use their service again. If you ever need someone to take care of your dog, and I mean really take care of your dog, look no further than Furry Murray!! Your dog will love them just like my Cherokee did!! read more

I recently had the pleasure of hiring an outstanding dog sitter for my two German Shepperd's, and I couldn't be more thrilled with how well they were cared for! From the moment I met Helen from (Furry Murray) her love and passion for animals was evident. This was the first time I've ever used a dog sitter at my house, and I was nervous. Wondering if it would work with German shepherds being nice dogs, but protective of their home. Helen set up a meet and greet, and that went very good. On the first day of vacation, I was so surprised to get a text, also referred to as (pupdates), on how the visit went, with the cutest pics and a video. It was heartwarming seeing the smiles on my dogs face's. :) After that I was completely relaxed, and knew my dogs were in good hands and well cared for the whole time I was gone. I would definitely recommend Helen, from Furry Murray as a dog sitter. Her exceptional level of care, professionalism and genuine love for animals made the difference. She's trustworthy and dedicated to your to your pets.!! read more

Outstanding Dog Sitter Experience! I can't praise Furry Murray Pet Sitting enough for their exceptional care of my Dog Bailey! They are absolutely the best!

Awesome folks. They are truly here to help. I have a very flexibile, changeable schedule, and some very shy chihuahuas, and the Furry Murray team makes themselves available even on short notice. I sometimes need them once a week, sometimes twice, and eventually may be every day, but it changes every week. Just lovely people, who are very good with dogs, don't overwhelm my shy suspicious pups but are willing to stand quietly and let the dogs get used to them. I was desperate to find good people when I moved 50 miles from work and needed to know I could rely on them to take the dogs out. They never fail to let me know when they have arrived and leave, send pictures and/or a video. Very reasonable rates as well, I cannot say enough about them. I only fear they will have so much business when everyone finds out about them they will be overwhelmed! Many many thanks and cheers for Furry Murray. read more

Furry Murray is the Best out of the Rest! If I can give more stars I would...... Helen is very professional and very kind. She took the time to answer all my questions and went all over their policies and requirements before booking which is very fair. They also offer Meet & Greets on Saturdays only. The Murray's does business at they're home and takes a few dogs at time. As well her husband John, does the dog walking and outside house visits. You can tell they loves animals and have they own named Dexter. There house is super clean. They also offer dog baths and Helen makes homemade fresh dog treats & jerky! They send you daily Pupdates throughout the day, everyday when my pup Zoey was there. She mades lots of new friends and was so happy, that she didn't want to leave. Overall covers it all!

I'm so glad to have found Furry Murray. I needed a dog sitter on short notice who would allow me to pick up my dog as late as 9 pm. Furry Murray fit my needs for doggie daycare, was available, and reasonably priced. Their place was very clean and orderly. I was very pleased with the quality care Helen gave our little 10 lb. lap dog for a day. She was very attentive, and accommodating to my older dog's needs. It was very comforting to receive a few video "pupdates" on my dog's stay with Helen, and I had peace of mind knowing my dog only interacted with smaller dogs his size. He really liked the homemade organic and gluten-free treats, and he is a picky eater! Thank you, Helen! read more

The "pupdates" (videos & photos of our pets via text) were THE cutest! We looked forward to them every morning and evening while we were out of town. Our pets loved Helen and her husband. They took our dog out on the most fun walks and even jogged a bit with him too. They gave him ice in his water bowl on really hot days and left lots of treats for him (and even for our cats) on the last walk. read more

First time using a company to come to my house to watch my dog while I was gone for a few days. I had seen their truck around town and decided to give them a try rather than kenneling my dog.

I've used many around the entire bay area and she is by far the best! read more

Was the best possible experience for our girl!!! She is a rescue and has some fears about being in new situations. She loved Helens home from the first second she walked in. Their home is beautiful and clean and Helen and her husband are so warm, welcoming and professional. She sent us updates and videos and even bathed our girl and gave her treats on the way out. We will use them every time we need a place for our girl. read more

I highly recommend Furry Murray for your dog boarding needs. Helen is top-notch. It is clear she loves and understands dogs. It was reassuring to see the videos and pics of our fur babies she sent for almost three weeks. It was evident our dogs loved their stay and benifited from socializing with other dogs. If you're looking for peace of mind that your fur babies will be happy and healthy, Furry Murray gets it done. read more

My two dogs Angel and Ginger were at Furry Murray from 8/13-8/20. I absolutely LOVE this place! Feel very comfortable with my dogs staying there. VERY clean and you can tell that Helen LOVES what she does. Video's, pictures everyday of how the dogs are doing. I will definitely come back and is now the only place I will board my dogs. Thank You Furry Murray for EVERYTHING !!!!!!! Patty & Andy read more

A huge Thank you to Helen for being able to accommodate my two little furry guys! I had last minute plans and she was able to care for them for a few days. A very warming and spacious place for my dogs to run around in and also get the attention needed. Was recommended by a friend and so content that I went with them. I will definitely use Furry Murray Dog Sitting from here on out. read more
