We LOVE Little Furry Things. We've been happy customers for 3 months. Our dogs get 3 walks a week and come back happy and tired(!). Jesse was comfortable and knowledgeable with how to handle our two high-energy dogs that are often untrusting of new people. By the 3rd walk/run, they had become comfortable with her with no more nerves/barking. The best thing about Little Furry Things? We get a detailed write up, photos, and map of where the pups when on their outing. Jesse was even featured on King 5 for her thoughtful walk summaries! The photos she takes are some of the best we have of our pups! For anyone needing a little extra help in getting your pets exercised and keeping them happy, I can't recommend Little Furry Things enough. read more

I could not be more impressed with my experiences with Little Furry Things pet sitting services. I will definitely be using their services again in the future and I highly recommend them to anyone living in the service area. Every single staff member I've interacted with has been extremely professional, kind and helpful. Every single message or request I've sent has been responded to and resolved within 24 hours which is amazing. Our sitter, Robin, took excellent care of our fur baby while we were away for about a week over Thanksgiving. I LOVED receiving the photo updates and cute descriptions of their visit. They definitely made me feel more comfortable, and I was confident that our cat was being well taken care of. Our sitter also went above and beyond by vacuuming the litter box area and removing all trash on her final visit. The client portal is very user-friendly and well designed. Customers are easily able to schedule their services, and the site allows for customization of the visit length and time. Staff also respond to requests or send pet-updates through the portal which get sent directly to your email. You can also see exactly when your sitter arrived / left. I'd also like to point out that the prices are very reasonable. Yes, there is a small holiday fee (7$ for me at least). Even so, my total came out to be considerably less than I was quoted with other services so I was able to splurge for some extra play time for my kitty. read more

I left my cat, Sushi, in the care of a cat sitter for the first time last month, and was nervous about how it would go since she had never spent such a long stretch of time (1.5 weeks) mostly alone before and tends to get grumpy/needy when she does. Rhiannon was my LFT cat sitter and did a great job. I loved getting my daily check ins with pictures and the reassurance that she was eating, using the litterbox, and not destroying my apartment in vengeance for my absence. When I got home, spare litter around the box had been vacuumed, my litter genie had been emptied, and my cat seemed happy and well-adjusted thanks to Rhiannon's visits. Definitely will use again! read more

Little Furry Things went over and above what could be considered "pet-sitting" during a two-week trip I made abroad in March 2018. The worst possible scenario I could have ever imagined came true. LFT was organized, helpful, genuinely concerned, responsive and responsible, communicative, and flexible. They did everything they could to try to help my wonderful cat. Samantha, my cat-sitter, was kind, observant, generous, and caring, keeping my up-to-date on how my cats were doing. * * * * * The only real matter of concern to me relates to the following. In the "My Info" section appears, at the end, the following discretionary stipulation: "If I cannot be reached in an emergency, I authorize the vet(s) listed in my profile to start treatment, and agree to be responsible for payment of any fees/costs incurred." [Yes/No] I did have the box checked "Yes." However, the cat-sitter did contact me long distance. The idea to bring my cat up to Blue Pearl, however, was not mine, and I did not explicitly authorize the treatment. In retrospect, the treatment there proved to be disappointing. There was only a very small possibility that the veterinarian could do anything to save my cat. (In fact, they did nothing to make matters better for my cat, such as stop the bleeding). But what remains most troubling for me was during the 45 or so minutes I was on the telephone with the cat-sitter and the emergency veterinarian, my cat was crying the entire time. Somehow I had fumbled and been unable to reach the hospice veterinarian organization, Lap of Love, to get them to come out as soon as possible. The cat-sitter had whisked my cat before asking me it was okay for her to do so. She obviously did, however, have my cat's welfare at heart, so I cannot blame her. It was an extraordinary situation, one unforeseen, in which my cat's health had changed from "of concern" to an emergency, all within the space of less than 12 hours, the last time the cat-sitter had seen her. My cat had lived with me (and my other cat) in my small apartment 10 years. It would have been comforting and much less stressful for both my cat and the cat-sitter to have had Lap of Love come out and put my cat to sleep. And I would have had a greater peace of mind, myself. * * * * * In other words, if I had to do this all over again, with a cat with serious chronic health issues, I would make it clear that if an emergency were to arise during my absence that, after discussion with the cat-sitter (preferably via Skype, etc.), I would have the end-of-life option/choice that a hospice organization such as Lap of Love provides. read more

I looked up Little Furry Things to recommend to a coworker, and just realized I never left a review, which would be appropriate since I am literally recommending them to other people! LFT took great care of my kitty, who is on the needy side. We had a few different sitters through a couple of years with LFT but they were all great with him and everyone was very reliable and thoughtful. We only stopped using them because we moved out of their service area. However, they recommended an amazing sitter to us in our new neighborhood. Highly recommend Little Furry Things. read more

My husband and I worked with multiple dog walking services over the course of our dog's life, and Little Furry Things provides so much more than others do. LFT did solo walks Monday through Friday for our dog Oscar, who had some anxiety/reactive issues, and was blind by the end of his life. Every day they sent us amazing photos and poetry-like updates from their walks. They were exceptionally trustworthy--we never had to worry that they would miss a walk or that someone new would step in without warning. And not only did they reliably walk our dog every day, they built a relationship with him. It was clear that they understood and cared about Oscar in a unique way. Oscar recently passed away, and their support and heartfelt sadness has been so helpful during our mourning process. We worked primarily with Maureen and Jesse, but had great experiences with all staff members. It is clear that everyone who works at LFT genuinely cares about the pets and the families they service. We will certainly return to them if we bring another pet into our lives. Thank you, LFT. read more

I am a long time customer and I have been using LFT for my two cats since 2016. The service has been consistently professional and good, eventhough the petsitters have changed along the way. They did increase their prices recently. A few points from my experience: 1. Consistent update for every visit with photos. 2. The cleanup was always done properly at the end of the trip (typically the trash can would be emptyed and floor sweept) 3. I like the 30 visit package since it is 10% off the listed price. 4. They send out reminders for holiday bookings given their availabilty, which I appreciate. read more

I emailed Little Furry Things in hopes of finding a dog walker that could handle my two GSDs: one with horrible walking skills and the other very reactive to dogs with a (strong) aversion to strangers. Jill emailed me back immediately saying she had the perfect employee in mind for my two. I have to say that Rachel has done wonders with Sophie. She's getting MUCH better about walking on a loose leash instead of pulling my arm off. Max, while still reactive, has been getting better recently, too. I know both of them appreciate the mid-day break and love spending time with her. THANK YOU! As others have said, the online booking system is great and they let me split up an hour walk so that both of them get 30 minutes. Rachel also keeps in touch with me by text, email or phone in case anything comes up and I like reading about their days on our personalized blog. Rachel has also taken some good pictures of the dogs for me to keep as an added bonus. Highly recommended! read more

Wonderful experience. We used them for the first time while on vacation in January for 10 days. Our sitter was Carol Glasser, and she was fantastic. Updates every day with several photos, and our kitty was calm and happy when we came home! read more

Another perfect trip, worry free with our daily "Bumpdates" Thanks Jill and Co.! read more

Little Furry Things is amazing. I've used them multiple times for all sorts of sitting occasions: last minute travel for work, extended work trips (1 week or more), vacations, and Christmas holidays. They've provided a sitter every time and the care is always great! How can I tell if I'm not there? Well, I have very shy cat who will come out for Chastity (my regular sitter) when she stops by :). The daily blog entries are the best part! I love seeing how my cats are doing every day I'm not there. Yes, I'm sorta crazy like that. read more

How could I NOT give them 5 stars? I found this company through yelp when I was looking for someone to look in on my 2 cats while I went away for a 3 day vacation. Firstly, someone answered my email questions promptly and directed me to an online site where I could book appointments, fill out an online profile, etc for my pets. Super easy and great for someone who is busy and can't be on the phone during the work day. Mindy, my assigned sitter, came over for a complimentary introduction where I showed her around and let her meet the cats. She was great with them and asked the right questions. My cat took to her right away which I think is a good indication that someone is an animal person. I also have anxiety when leaving my pets behind, even when someone seems great but FLT's was awesome. They confirmed my appointment with me and Mindy would send me a link to a customized blog for my cats including pictures, what they did that day, and she even used I Can Has Cheezburger speak. I loved it! Everything looked great when I got back. She had emptied my litter champ and even swept up the area around the litter box. They also take credit cards and can charge it automatically before your visits to make it super easy! Highly recommended! read more

I love LFT! I found LFT in February through yelp and after reading the positive reviews, thought I'd give them a try. I have since used LFT 4 or 5 times and I will continue to use them for all of my upcoming trips. Heather in the office is amazing and is always quick to respond to my emails. Carol is my cat sitter I've had for my 1 year old kitty, Lula. Lula has some behavioral issues and Carol has been very understanding. I used to get stressed out leaving Lula on vacations but now I look forward to the blog post Carol writes after each visit. I'm always excited to see the post come through and get to see pics of my little love bug. I can't thank Carol enough for her attentiveness to Lula as well as offering up suggestions on her behavior. I'm lucky to have found this business! I would highly recommend LFT for cat sitting :) read more

I couldn't be happier with their dog walking service. Jill scheduled a meet and greet prior to the first walk to introduce us to the walker for our neighborhood. She took the time to answer all my ridiculous questions (I am a bit obsessed with my dog Yuki--in a totally healthy, normal, loving way--and won't leave her with just anyone). I always look forward to reading Yuki's blog after each walk so I can see photos and read about Yuki's hour long adventure. In addition to the personal blog, the website offers an easy, convenient way to schedule appointments. Jill, the owner, and Owen, the dog walker, are both fantastic with Yuki. They are patient, loving, playful, and people I trust with my furry baby. I definitely recommend Little Furry Things to care for any little furry thing. read more

OK, I admit it. I am more than a little crazy when it comes to my 3 kitties. I know that no one is going to take quite the care of them that I do and spoil them as much but when I go away I need to know that whoever is taking care of them will come close. Jill who owns the business and Donna who cared for my kids on a recent trip are great to deal with, great to rely on, and just all around great! Donna took pictures of my kids every day and posted them along with her daily comments on a blog site. Then I got an email with a link to the site every day. I could just tell from my kids' faces and body language that they were happy. And when I got home they were well taken care of, fat and sassy. Donna also did some things around the house that I certainly appreciated. There is nothing negative at all to say. Prices were good, service was great, updates were timely. Everything I want in a cat sitter service. And the fact that Jill employs several people so that there will always be someone available gives me peace of mind. I totally recommend them! read more

6 Stars if I could. I am new to the Seattle area and travel more with my job. I've used Little Furry Things 8 times since December 2010. Donna takes wonderful care of my toothless, clawless, geriatric cat, Boney. I love the blog and when Donna had problems posting to the blog, she sent me a text update. I recently had to cut a trip short due to a death in the family and I received a credit for the unused visits and a sweet note from Donna. I didn't expect a credit and was delighted. Everything is neat and clean when I return home, but most of all Boney is well cared for. And of course, the online appointment system is great. No phone tag necessary, though phone calls are promptly returned. read more

I love Jill!!!! I love this business! She and her associate have taken amazing, loving, playful care of our baby. I cannot begin to describe how enjoyable it is to get an "update"-a little email of what the little furball was up to. Sometimes, it was the highlight of our days when far away. It was like having Baby with us (yes, she's a spoiled little monster). If you want your fur babies to be cared for 100% by responsible people, this is the place to go. I couldn't recommend Jill more. read more

We LOVE LFT! We used to have two cats--a young'un and a senior, and even with our old man's health concerns, I never hesitated to take a trip because I knew they would be in good hands with an LFT caregiver. Our old cat passed away last year, and still LFT caregivers gave our lonely girl tons of love and attention just as we would have. The blog with photos is a great touch. We know she's having a great time while we are! read more

I entirely trust Little Furry Things to take proper care of my cat. They always treat my cat with compassion; even though she is a furry pain in the butt. Always punctual and never skimp on the scheduled time. read more

My name is BC and I've been cared for by 2 of Jill's other humans. My human parents say they love getting the daily blogs from Donna (Marissa used to be my "pet girl" but my human parents moved to a bigger house so now Donna is my "pet girl"). I'm quite the talker and need lots of attention which I always get from Donna. Heck, she doesn't even seem to mind cleaning up my little gifts in my litter box - now how great is that!!! My human parents say reserving my pet girl is the easiest thing to do and reasonable, too. If you need a human to take care of you while your human parents are away, you'd better call Jill! read more

Little Furry Things, LLC - Beach Cat, alias "BC" - Dog Walkers Near Me - Seattle, Washington

I highly recommend Little Furry Things! I have had nothing but an amazing experience with them. I hired them previously to watch my cat while I was on vacation and they did a wonderful job! I was updated daily with photos and a review of how my cat was behaving. I also needed them recently for a last minute emergency trip and they were very accommodating and responsive. I will continue to use their services whenever I am out of town. They are affordable, personable and very reliable! read more

After a terrible experience with another Capitol Hill dog-walking company, I was extremely cautious when hiring another walker. These ladies are as good as it gets. After my pup's first two walks I got text messages and a phone call summarizing the outing, as well as his own personal picture blog. Really?! They care & it shows! read more

I couldn't be happier with LFT for taking care of my young anxious Frenchie and lazy kitty while I took a much needed vacation. In full disclosure I own a pet sitting/training company and am not a easy to please mommy. I delayed this vacation for almost a year because I felt too guilty to leave thinking they would miss me too much. I knew LFT would take great care of my kids and the daily updates allowed me to relax, which was needed. I am pretty sure my dog misses his LFT caregivers and he looks forward to me taking another vacation soon. =) read more

As a tech person I really like how they minimize the bottleneck between you and the sitter through their system. Superb service, kind people. read more

I've hired Little Furry Things three times to take care of my cats, Cooper & Starling - most recently for a five-night vacation. Their service has been responsive & reliable every time. I like that they have multiple caregivers, so that if my regular sitter isn't available, Jill (the owner) can easily find a replacement. Online booking is convenient & the daily blog entries are a nice bonus. I've used a few other pet sitting services in the past, but have had to switch due to flakiness, ridiculous cost, or the company going out of business. I hope to stick with Little Furry Things for a long time! read more

This service is truly wonderful. We used them for the first time this past weekend and were more than pleased. First of all, the questionnaire that new clients are required to fill out is very extensive and thorough which made me, as a pet owner, feel much more secure leaving my pets in their care because they clearly know ALL the questions to ask from having 2 vets listed, the name of a contact with keys to your home, medication schedules, etc. And then, THE BLOG! Your sitter takes pictures of your pet and send you daily blog updates with photos and details of the day's adventures. I know I was supposed to be on vacation but getting those updates was one of the best parts of the whole vacation! We will use them again for sure and will recommend them to all who seek pet-sitting services. read more

We used LFT's service for our two cats over the holidays and it was an excellent experience. Jill was nice and very responsive and the business overall appears buttoned up and dependable. The PetCloud app was also a great addition because it would tell me when the sitter was going to be at the house and then she would update it after the visit. Our sitter was Amanda, and she was also excellent. She was super friendly, responsive and took wonderful care of our cats while we were away. I will definitely be using LFT and requesting Amanda from now on. read more

Furry Little Things has been an amazing service for us! Rhiannon was the first sitter we ever had through them, and was also the first "stranger" we have ever had watch our kitties. My husband and I were a little hesitant about the whole process, but Rhiannon made us totally comfortable from the start and far exceeded our expectations! She has watched our kitties many times (it's been about 3 years now) and every time, we know they are in good hands. She is great with communicating and texting if needed and writes the best little notes as check-in reports for us to read while we are away. Not to mention the great photos she attaches with them!! That's probably the best part. I know it is only a 30 minute visit, but I can tell she really cares by what she writes and it's not just a standard "Did this, cleaned that" but actual personal notes that makes us smile and laugh every day. She really is great and we feel so lucky to have found her and Little Furry Things! Thank you guys! You rock! read more

Little Furry Things was recommended to me by Grisha at Ahimsa Dog Training, so I wasn't too surprised when Jill effortlessly taught my puppy the "give" command within the first 10 minutes of our in-home consultation. I knew I'd found the perfect puppy walkers! Jill and Betsy were organized and dependable. I knew they shared Ahimsa's positive training philosophy, so I had complete confidence leaving my (impressionable and walk-anxious) puppy in their capable hands each day. Jill took the initiative to work with him on an undesirable nipping behavior I didn't even realize he had. The detailed blog reports and daily photos are a great bonus! Now I'm spoiled and expecting the same from all of my pets' caregivers. As a single working puppy-owner, it's great having such great options to help me with his care. read more

LFT has been my pet sitter for years and I love them. I travel quite a bit and it's nice to know they'll take such good care of my kitties while I'm gone. Chastity and Carol are wonderful and I know my kitties love their visits with them. I can tell from the pictures in the daily blog posts, which is one of my favorite parts of the service. They're very good with communicating if anything comes up during the visits and they've always been accommodating whenever I've needed a last minute sitter. I'd recommend them to anyone! read more

I was pretty stressed out about leaving my 18 year old cat with health issues for 10 days. LFT took that stress away. Heather in the office was great in helping me get everything taken care of. When Carol came by to meet us, I knew my cat was going to be in good hands. I loved the daily update with pictures and details. On the last day of our vacation we missed our flight home and could not be rebooked for 2 days. I called Carol and she told me not to worry she would continue to take care of our girl till we got back. Amazing people and reliable even beyond what was scheduled. read more

We've now had Little Furry Things tend to our cat for the past three Christmas holidays while we were out of town for 1-2 weeks at a time. We have not had the same sitter twice, but each has been a delight and kept our fatcat alive and well. They go above and beyond by vacuuming around the litter box, picking up mail, and even bringing our cat a toy for Christmas. We always look forward to the nightly blogs with photos, and the staff are great at communicating throughout the process. We will continue to use this company any time we need a kitty sitter. read more

We've had LFT walking our two dogs every weekday for over a year now and I cannot say enough great things about this team. Our walker, Renee is wonderful and takes wonderful care of our dogs. Scheduling is easy and they are very flexible. read more

Little furry things has been great to us! They always take photos and write-up the walk so we know our dog has been out and had a happy walk. They're very professional and helpful above and beyond the call of duty. read more

LFT takes the worry out of being away from your pets. After years of trusting my cats to friends when I'm away, I tried LFT. They were worth every penny. The caretaker not only did the necessities (food, water, litter), she really paid attention to my cats - giving the frisky one play time and giving my older cat snuggles. I was amazed when I returned and neither of my cats were stressed/upset at all! That's amazing. Since that first time, I've used LFT twice more. My only disappointment is that I've had a different caregiver each time. But all 3 haven't just kept my cats safe & fed, they've made my cats happy and comfortable. read more

Awesome service. Went for vacation for 2 and a half weeks, was kinda scared to death to leave my kitties to a stranger. Turns out there was nothing to be afraid of: Little Fury Things know their job and they do it extremely well. We came back and found our cats happy, healty and relaxed. The blog updates is awesome to track day by day how your cats are doing, all calls and questions are answered promptly, the staff is very flexible... My kitties even got new toys at christmas, which I found very thoughtful. Thanks again for an awesome service. read more

Really great business -- my husband and I are very happy with the service. I love the updated pet blog for each day that you're out -- you receive pics and a little note describing how your pets were doing that day. We end up looking forward to it on every vacation. :) I would definitely recommend Little Furry Things as a pet sitting service -- fair price and great sitters. read more

Little Furry Things has been great with providing excellent care for our people-shy/anxious maltipoo Scooter. Scooter has always been shy/anxious around strange people, and can take a while to warm up. Jenny, our walker, came by for the initial consultation and was extremely knowledgeable and patient with Scooter. She made time in her schedule to walk with me and Scooter so he could get comfortable before she began taking him by herself on a regular basis. Jenny has been patient, knowledgeable, reliable and extremely friendly, and I know Scooter gets super excited for his walk every day. We really couldn't be happier with the services provided. They post regular blogs from the dog walks so you can see what your dog is up to, and are very responsive to any requests/considerations. If you have a dog that is shy around people or has any other sort of behavioral quirks, I highly recommend little furry things, in our experience the caregivers have been overall fantastic and very understanding. We're moving to California soon and hope we will be able to find a walker service and walker as good as Little Furry Things and Jenny! read more

Amazing service! Loved using LFT! I never got a cat sitter before and wasn't too sure of the process, but Rachel made it so easy and hassle free. She initially came to see my cat first and to check if I have any special requests for my cat. Rachel responds quickly to my email and I looked forward to her blogs everyday during the sitting. read more

The owner of Little Furry Things, LLC, Jill, and all of her employees who have walked and trained our dogs are as good as it gets, without a doubt. We got a new Finnish Lapphund puppy, Riika, in June and Jenny, who is a certified puppy trainer, worked with Riika. Jenny is patient, smart, calm, and undeniably loves all animals. Riika is such a good little girl now, thanks to Jenny. Our 4-year-old Aussie, Rosie, is much calmer now with the help of not only Jenny, but her other walkers, Owen and Rachel, who are fantastic with the dogs as well. Rosie and Riika are waiting at the door every afternoon around dog-walking time so they can play with their dogwalking buddies. They just love them! We couldn't have asked for a better dog walking/training/sitting company. One thing more: the dog walkers write a daily blog about how your dogs walked and what they discovered along the way. It's so cute, they take great photos of the pooches and it's generally a fun and funny read. It's such a great idea. I hope more dog walking companies do the same thing. Sadly, we have to move out of state so we can longer have Little Furry Things services. We're genuinely worried about finding another company with such great employees who go the extra mile to care for our dogs. It's going to be difficult. This is the best dog walking/sitting service we've ever had, and that's saying a lot in our 24 years of having dogs. read more
