AMAZING! It will be difficult to put into words how much I appreciate Nicole and her pet services. I am the type of person that worries about everything and makes lists and keeps everything organized. Well, it turns out, so is Nicole!! She made sure she knew everything needed for all 4 of my pets (two cats and two dogs) prior to me going on vacation. I was gone for 10 days, and she sent updates each time she visited along with pictures of all the pets. I opted for the twice a day for 45 minutes and it was worth every penny. I have never gone away and felt completely relaxed until now. After the first visit I was sold, she is my go-to person for pet sitting. She made sure all of them were well cared for and loved while I was away. She is wonderful at communication; payments can be made online and there is a super easy to use app that is used for everything. Now I will go on more vacations because I know my fur babies are in good hands! Thank you Nicole! Here are some of the pictures she sent (too cute)! read more

I recently reached out to Nicole for a future pet sitting job for my 6 lovely kitties. She texted me back right away and we have been exchanging text messages. We have arranged our first meet and greet in just a couple of days. Nicole has been extremely professional and quick to respond. Her website is incredibly beautiful and easy to book. It goes into detail about your pets and their needs as well as your schedule needs. She is licensed and insured and completely the best pet sitter I have contacted so far!! I'm very impressed! As a business owner myself, I appreciate the clear and fast communication. I look forward to working with Nicole for my upcoming Vegas wedding and for many future needs. I personally have not been able to take a vacation in 10 years, and I am very much looking forward to this relationship and friendship. Thank you Nicole!! read more

Furry People Pet Sitting was our pet service company of choice for 3 years. I want to personally highlight their level of professionalism, and expertise in pet related matters. Nicole, specifically, worked with our pets the whole time and she did an incredible job with the cats and working with us, always ensuring the cat's needs were met. She included in their schedules feeding, playtime, catnip, and let the cats be themselves. She worked around their individual needs like a pro. Thank you, Nicole and Furry People Pet Sitting! read more

I am so glad we found this business! I actually found it through google and started to fill out a form to get a consultation when I got busy with something else and just closed the page to do later. I honestly probably wouldn't have gotten back to it and just have lost the name of the business except that Nancy called me that same day to set up my appointment! She was very nice and friendly, but even better, accommodating! She came by to meet the cats and learn the layout etc. and ended up staying for a whole hour (I love to talk about my cats). I was very impressed by how professional and thorough she was. Honestly she could not have done a better job. We had her visit twice a day to give medicine to one of the cats which was a relief for us to have someone else do. Every day I got an email with a picture and update which I thought was unnecessary but actually really enjoyed and got to look forward to. She put in obvious extra effort to befriend the cats and I was impressed that she managed to get close even to our shy cat. This business is just a lifesaver! The prices are beyond reasonable and the quality of service they provide is just insane! They obviously love animals and know how to handle pretty much anything. They take down very thorough information so if anything comes up they can take care of it. I think our cats missed Nancy when she stopped coming. They will be happy to see her when we go out of town again. Your pets are in the best hands with Furry People Pet Sitting. I am so glad we found them and no longer have to worry about making friends come check our pets, etc. They also include mail, plant watering, and other services I had never even thought of as part of the visit. Amazing!! read more

Had a long term walker who failed to care for my animals when I was in Europe for 10 days. Came home to a mess. Was caught short and had to find a new service ASAP. Texted this company and Nicole called me back and came over with Shasta (our new walker). Explained our situation and was immediately reassured that we were in good hands with this company. Easy online scheduling. Come when they say they are coming. Send daily pictures and leave a note. Super happy to have found them. read more

Nicole was pleasant, patient with me as it was my first time boarding my 2 kittens. I loved the room they were in and I loved the pics and updates she would send me while I was away. Would definitely recommend if you are in need of boarding your cats. read more

My husband and I are so pleased with Nicole, the owner. She took care of our frisky cat, Ginger, during the Thanksgiving holiday. The room at her business is so cute with all kind of toys and places to climb for our cat. Nicole is so caring and goes out of her way for her clients. Nicole also came to our home to trim Ginger's nails and did an exceptional job. It was impossible to do this ourselves. I highly recommend Furry People Pet Sitting and especially Nicole! read more

My girlfriend and I just graduated from college and had to go back home for a month. That was the first time we had to leave our cats behind for such a long time. We did a lot of research and ended up deciding to send them to Nicole. Not only because the price is the best but also because they would stay in a bedroom with great view on their own. Much much better than those cages in all other places. Besides Nicole also sent us photos regularly. When we picked them up, they looked exactly the same as we dropped them off. Great environment for boarding and great care! read more

At last, I can travel without worrying about my cats! Nicole at Furry People Pet Sitting did such a great job babying and pampering and spoiling my kitties when we were gone for 4 days, that they seemed a little miffed we were not her when we got back! I love the flexibility of being able to choose my plan so the cats' schedule stays relatively the same. Twice daily feedings with playing and loving to boot suited them just fine, and I loved getting two updates a day via text msg with photos of happy cats giving their new friend Nicole little kitty kisses. So reassuring! That enabled me to relax and enjoy my vacation so much that I may now travel more! read more

Could not recommend more highly! We left our 3 cats and 1 dog at home while we went away for 15 nights - a very long trip that I was so nervous about as I've never been away from my babies that long. But from the initial meeting with Nicole, our minds were at ease. She is extremely professional and has a natural way with animals. We went with the overnight option, and every day I would get email updates with pictures and occasionally videos which I appreciated so much. She was always very quick to respond to questions via email or text. Our pets seemed so happy and content in the videos and even when we got back home - historically, at least one of our cats would pee on something to let us know how they felt about us leaving, but that didn't happen this time which I think also speaks to how comfortable they felt with Nicole :) We will definitely go with Furry People Pet Sitting again for our next trip!!! read more

I am so grateful to have found Nicole. Lately I've had to travel a lot for work, so finding someone who I feel comfortable watching out for my kitties when I am so far away is a huge relief. And I definitely feel comfortable with Nicole. When I first reached out to her, she came by to meet my kitties, and to talk to me about their needs. This is super important, because this gave me a chance to see that my cats were comfortable with her and that I was too. Since then, I've booked her three times for around 3-4 days each. Every day that she visits she sends a text message update about how the kitties are doing and includes a photo of them playing or just being happy. She also leaves more detailed handwritten notes, which I love reading when i get home. Best of all? When i get home, though my cats are happy to see me, they don't show any indication that they felt undue stress while I was away. Having someone as awesome as Nicole come by to feed them, love them, and play with them everyday makes sure of that! read more

Used again for 10 days while in Europe. Shasta was our sitter again and just as righteous as the first time. Have now referred to our friends who are equally pleased! read more

Wow! All I can say is that Furry People Pet Sitting deserves the highest rating possible. Nicole is so professional, kind and meticulous. In the past, I had never left my two small pups alone overnight, but decided to take a chance because of the great reviews. I wasn't disappointed. Nicole kept me informed of visits to my critters via text (including photos) and a note for each stop-in. I am so pleased!!!! read more

Nicole is honestly wonderful, she made leaving our cat for vacation a stress free experience. We boarded our cat with her, and he got a full room to himself with large windows with bird feeders outside, window seats, and tons of cat toys. Her energy is so calm and zen we felt super comfortable putting Binx in her hands. She sent us pictures each day of him while we were gone with status updates on how he was doing. It was great! We will definitely use her services again! read more

I am absolutely beyond satisfied with the services provided super last minute. I had to leave town abruptly on a holiday weekend and was able to schedule the perfect package for my 3 doggie babies to start the next day! Nichole was extremely professional and prepared with paperwork and procedures. I could immediately tell her experience with animals upon meeting. She knew how to keep my 3 dogs comfortable and calm. I have active & loud dogs so that was the first miracle. Not only did she have control but also compassion when handling them. She is a true animal lover. Second miracle was how I was able to easily mix and match overnight sitting with daytime walks. I was so nervous about packaging and prices but Furry People Pet Sitting is very customizable and affordable. The third great surprise was how tech savvy this company is. I couldn't wait to get a daily picture with comments and a check list of who peed and pooped along with other duties she fulfilled as pet sitter. I'm so glad I came across this company. She left the house spotless and the dogs were still exhausted from their walks upon my arrival back home. I only needed a sitter while out of town but it was so easy I will be scheduling again very soon just for peace of mind. My doggies got so much love and exercise and I was able to be away with no worries about them or my home. Awesome!!! I don't know what I would have done without Furry People!!! read more

we have used Furry People Pet sitting since my mom got her dog Jerry. She was sick and couldn't walk him, so Nicole came to the rescue. Years later, we have used her services for more walks, pet sitting both dog and cat, and medication administration for when we are out of town for a day to a week. I highly recommend her, and trust her and her employees with my pets! read more

Had our cat stay over Christmas, and it was great. The rooms are wonderful! Easy to set up and we got regular updates.

I have nothing but GREAT THINGS to say about Nicole and Furry People Pet Sitting! She came out a month prior to our trip to meet with us (and our dogs) and she impressed me with her professionalism, the various questions she asked, etc. Most importantly my dogs Taz and Yoshi immediately bonded with her! Every day for 4 days, she texted us progress photos and brief reports of the dogs. When we got home, she left "report cards" for us. She is very conscientious and we were able to go on our trip without any worries. We are planning our next trip in the fall and we will use her services again. I TOTALLY RECOMMEND HER! read more

Nicole was great great great taking care of my Dog, Cat, and Rabbit while I was on vacation! I was a little worried about having a stranger in my house while away, but when she came by for the consultation my worries were eased - her animal-loving vibes emanated strongly enough to be psychically detected by a fellow animal lover, instilling a sense of calm and trust. She kept good notes and kept me up to date via text on the visits, and everything went well and I believe my furry family is looking forward to having her take care of them again. read more

We moved to Santee three years ago, leaving our most trusted, loved and wonderful dog walker in Mission Valley. We have searched -- without luck - to find another dog walker to fill her shoes. That is until we found Furry People Pet Sitting. She is on-time, trustworthy and so great with our dog Clarence. She sends texts and photos with updates after most walks and always leaves a detailed note at home. I would highly recommend her to anyone in East County looking for someone to love and take care of their pet. We have been using her for over a month and have been very happy and impressed with her service. Thank you!!! read more

Furry People Pet Sitting was referred to me by a friend when I said I was looking for a Pet setter. Folks let me tell you that YOU will NOT find a more caring and attentive person to look after your loved one while you are away. We received daily texts to update us while we were gone. The Price was better than most, but would of paid more for the service we received. I highly recommend Furry People Pet Sitting and she has a client for life here. Thank again read more

Never having used a professional pet sitter, we wanted to go with one highly rated and Nicole delivered. She showed up the day we spoke, took down a full sheet of information on our two critters and assured that she would text us every day. Not only did she text, she sent pictures and left little notes from every day that she visited. She scooped litter, spent time playing with the kitties and even took out the litter trash. Such a relief to have someone so dependable when you're out of town! read more

This is exactly what you want in a pet sitting service. Conscientious, easy to communicate with, caring, and reliable. I would recommend this company to anyone. Regular updates. Did everything promised and more. Very thankful to find this wonderful company. read more

Book it now and enjoy your trip worry free! Extremely professional top notch service. After meeting Nicole I knew we were in in great hands and I would absolutely recommend this business. Daily texts and pictures were wonderful. I can't wait to travel again knowing Furry People will look after our kids. read more

I used Nicole's services, and Niki W. was my sitter. They were so very understanding and accommodating with a constantly changing schedule due to deployment. They took great care of my boys, and I am a crazy picky dog mom. I will definitely be using Nicole and her services in the future. read more

Adding to this list of happy customers - I am very satisfied with Nicole and Furry People Pet Sitting, last week some last minute changes to work plans required I find someone to care for our two 10 week old kittens. I had researched boarding services, and pet hotels when we first took home our kittens because my partner and I both travel fairly frequently for work and I wanted to be prepared. I had saved Furry People Pet Sitting's information after finding the consistent positive reviews and their professionally presented website. I have to say that my expectations were met and exceeded with Nicole's service provided. She took time out of her busy day to take my call, answer any questions I had and see if she had the availability to accommodate my babies. She got back to me promptly and even though at the time I contacted her my plans were not yet set in stone and I would possibly have to change my dates or cancel, she held a room for me and gave me the time and peace of mind to continue focusing on my job. When I dropped my kittens off I was given as much time as I needed with them and she had customized their room with everything two crazy little kittens full of energy could want. Again she verified their feeding schedules, habits, likes and dislikes and I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care even though I am a humongous control freak and take leaving the two little lives I and my partner are responsible for in someone else's care very seriously. Throughout my work trip I received text updates in the morning and evening along with pictures of our little ones to ease our hearts. She was also extremely accommodating of my uncertain pick up time since the nature of the work trip completing was dependent on other parties. When I picked up the little ones they were in perfectly happy condition and playing and seemed completely comfortable. Extremely happy with the services provided and for Nicole's friendly and compassionate demeanor both towards me and my little ones. Looking forward to continuing the use of her exceptional service as well as referring others to her company. Keep up the good work Nicole, it is greatly appreciated. - Alex Oakes read more

My boyfriend and I were going out of town for a few days and needed someone to watch our cats. We found Furry People Pet Sitting on yelp and thought it was worth a shot. Nicole was amazing. She was able to come over the following weekend to meet our cats for a free consultation. By the end of her visit, she had a page of notes (likes/dislikes/vet location etc). Very thorough! I felt really comfortable leaving my cat in her care. She even sent picture updates which was a nice treat. I would highly recommend Furry People! read more

I am so happy with the love and attention that Krista and Nicole have given to our cat, Cheeto, when we are out of town. They keep us up to date every visit. Take care of lights, mail, all her needs including minor medical attention. They even fight ants which as you know is a nightmare to deal with if left unattended! We are so lucky to have found them. They have been extremely reliable and trust worthy. read more

Highly recommend. The overnight stay options are really great and work well for our senior aged pugs who appreciate a bit more human interaction and bathroom breaks. I also like the simplicity of the price list ; especially with having multiple dogs. read more

I am so thankful for finding Nicole at Furry People. Just used her service for the first time over the Thanksgiving Holiday. My cat is older and does not like to be boarded. Nicole was very kind and loving to my cat and they bonded very quickly. Nicole kept me informed on how my cat was doing and even provided pictures. Will absolutely be using Furry People going forward for all my boarding needs. Thanks, Nicole read more

I wish I could give 100 stars. I cannot say enough good things about this company...they have truly made my life so much easier and for such reasonable prices. We have been using them for about a year with our cat and they are always so reliable and helpful. They even go above and beyond and help with things that they notice at the house that they aren't necessarily responsible for. We recently got a tortoise to add to our family and two days before going on a weeklong vacation he was diagnosed with a respiratory infection. I was so beyond stressed knowing we needed to inject a shot of antibiotics in him every 3 days when we wouldn't even be here. We called Nicole (who was already coming to check on our cat a few days) and she was BEYOND helpful. She was so incredibly accommodating and even did her own research, got advice from her vet on how to best administer his medication. She was so concerned about doing a great job and it really made me confident we were leaving our tortoise in great hands. She sent photos and updates each time she gave him his medication and she even had to use a shovel in our yard to bury a hole he had been digging under the neighbor's fence. This is honestly the best company and I want to go on vacations just so I can use them! haha. We are so, so grateful. Thank you for being so amazing and treating our animals as we would treat them AND not nickeling and diming for every little additional thing you do just because. We appreciate you SO much. Thank you. read more

Nicole is incredible! We were headed out of town for a week and needed someone to watch our cat twice a day. She was extremely flexible with scheduling our first visit and was so thorough when she came to learn about his needs which I definitely appreciated. I have never felt more secure leaving him and Nicole did not disappoint. She sent us texts with pictures, updates on how much food he ate and how many clumps were in the liter box (our kitty has some urinary tract issues). She even added an extra visit to check on him one day because she noticed our AC was broken, free of charge! I found the price to be incredibly reasonable considering what a fantastic, caring job she did. We will be using her services every time we leave town from now on! read more

My husband and I own 6 dogs and have found it hard to obtain a willing and excellent person to care for our "kids". We have repeatedly used Nikki and her services and can't find one complaint. If anything, she exceeds our expectations and our dogs LOVE her!! She is very in tune to each of their needs and is respectful of their space. Always willing to help and is very professional yet, down to earth and a real joy to work with. Can't think of a better person to spend the night with our "kids" and feel complete peace of mind leaving them in such good care!! Plus, her rates are super reasonable! She comes highly recommended~without hesitation!!! read more

Nicole is the beez-neez. We're able to text her out of the blue and she fits our zoo into her schedule. She texts plenty of photos and sends us cute updates, thumbs up! It's good to know that our sitter really cares for our pets. :) read more

Furry People Pet Sitting was terrific! Nicole cared for our two black cats and our plants for two weeks while we were away on vacation. She was very attentive to our cats and our house. It is very comforting to know that while we were away, a professional was caring for our house and cats. We will be using her again and would highly recommend her to others that need her services. read more

I will be using this business as my pet sitter from now on. Nicole sent pictures and text updates which helped me to relax and not worry about my dog while I was gone. Thanks so much for being so caring! read more

While I didn't end up getting to use this amazing service ( my trip was cancelled) let me just tell you that Nicole- the owner is the most amazing, knowledgable and comforting person I have every interviewed for the care of my pet!!! I just adored her and when I do have to go out of town again- will be calling Nicole Wayyyyyy in advance to reserve my kitty cat her suite at Nicole's place!!! read more

I traveled out of town over 2000 miles away for an entire week and had never used their pet sitting service before this. Nicole did a great job and handled my two dogs amazingly while I was gone. She is extremely capable as a pet sitter and very trustworthy. I highly recommend her services to anyone needing a pet sitter that truly cares for animals. read more

Nicole gets 5 stars from us! Very good at staying in touch with pics and updates while we were away. She rescued our pooches when they escaped from their play yard late one night and was willing to modify the care schedule until we returned. Very reasonably priced, great to work with and the animals loved her. We plan on using Furry People for every future trip. read more

We have three furry children (2 cats and a dog) and would love to include them in all of our trips but often can't (and our cats like most hate to travel).. We often make last minute plans or even if our plans are not last minute, we forget about the furry kids. Nicole has always been SUPER accommodating and has been able to take care of them in every instance. She texts us pictures of them and lets us know how they are doing. She is very thoughtful - when she watched them over July 4th weekend she shut the windows and lowered the blinds so they wouldn't be so the fireworks wouldn't be so loud. They love her - even our shy cat. We feel fortunate to found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter in our area. read more
