Pet sitting doesn't get better than this…read more When we moved to the area, we were in need of last minute pet sitting due to a sudden need to go back to our previous home. Of the multiple pet sitters we contacted, Erica from Fur Your Pets was the most prompt to respond and most personable, and was the start of repeated great pet sitting service. Over the last year and a half, we went from requesting in-home visits to take care of 3 cats, to in-home full day care (pet-sitting and house-sitting combined) for 3 cats and 2 dogs - one being a super rambunctious rottweiler. We did a "trial" weekend stay in preparation for a longer trip, and Erica did a fantastic job of taking care of everyone, even the rottweiler, which we were a bit worried about. Our pets love Erica and being able to stay in a familiar environment while we are traveling really shows. Our dogs get excited when she comes over, and when her visit ends, we come back to relaxed and perfectly normal (maybe a little disappointed to see us rather than Erica?) family. Our pets with prior pet sitters and kennels exhibited a bit of stress and anxiety after we came back, so this is a really great change for them. I can't say enough about how well Fur Your Pets takes care of our pets and home. To the amount of play time and cuddling time they get, to the prompt communications and numerous pet photos we receive, and the patience Erica displays when things go as unintended with our home, we are able to leave our pets in trusted hands, and are always confident that selecting Fur Your Pets for pet sitting was the best choice we made to ensure the well-being of our pets.

Usually, Danielle comes to take care of Max (we tell him his Aunt Danielle is coming to see him!) and she does an awesome job. We love getting the updates and photos after each visit.

We normally have family members or friends take care of our cats when we go on vacation but now…read morethat we have moved to Austin, that isn't a feasible option and to be honest, I was nervous about trusting someone I didn't know to care for them however Jay and Alyson from Chico & Chums put that fear to rest. Both Jay and Alyson came to our house for a consultation to tell us about their services and to meet the kitties. We got a good impression from them and their rates are reasonable so we hired them to stop by our house twice a day for eight days. What I loved most about working with Jay and Alyson was the fact that they sent daily updates on how the cats were doing and a lot of the updates even had pictures, which made us smile each time we opened their email. I could tell from these updates that pet care wasn't just a job to them but something that they genuinely loved doing and that they were enjoying the company of our cats. They took care of minor cleanups that our cats also seem to make and even took out the garbage when it was full of cat food cans so we wouldn't come home to a stinky garage. When we got home, our house was in clean condition and the cats seemed happy, well fed and taken care of. Although it wasn't needed in our case, it should be noted that Chico & Chums is also an insured pet carer which is a definite advantage over hiring someone like a neighbor to care for your pets while you are away. We won't hesitate to hire Jay and Alyson again in the future for any pet sitting needs and am happy to recommend them to others.

I like that they have a GPS tracker so you can see what time they came and left. Sometimes they even send a picture of your pet, which definitely brightened up my day at work. I'm sure this service has saved me from a lot of poop and pee on the floor. It was easier to focus at work knowing I wouldn't come home to a mess or feel a lingering guilt about them being alone for 9+ hours a day. I wouldn't hesitate to use Chico and Chums again.

This review is long overdue as I have been a client of The Pet Gal for almost two years now! I used…read moreto own a pet sitting and dog walking business of my own so this review is written by someone who used to be "in the biz!" Since moving to a regular 9-5 non-business owner, I wanted pet care for our dogs during the day. I also wanted in-home pet sitting and overnight care for our dogs so as not to disrupt their routine of having us in the home. I love, love, love Susan and Dan (the owners) and their entire scheduling staff as well as their "Pet Gals and Pet Guys". When our baby was due, Susan and the entire Pet Gal team went ABOVE AND BEYOND to help us plan for her arrival. There is nothing like feeling relieved that your home and pets will be well taken care of during one of the biggest life events. They really did go way above and beyond for us, adjusting to an ever changing situation as well as helping to make sure we had coverage in case something didn't go to plan. They even sent us a wonderful, thoughtful welcome home gift when we arrived home with our new human addition. I can't say enough good things about this company. Our favorite sitters are Jason and Claudia - my dogs LOVE them. They also leave the most wonderful updates and our home is always left better than when we left it. Pre-pandemic we counted on them to care for our pets during the day, and post-vaccine, they are able to care for them during travel time. The Pet Gal team members are all properly insured, trained, and you can trust them to show up, no matter what. You may not get the same sitter each time, but you will get the same care and attention each time. I am so thankful we're clients of The Pet Gal - they are truly a wonderful company.

We love the convenient web site which lets us put in our reservations well in advance, too. The prices are very competitive with other services we looked at. Unlike some other services, the initial consultation was free. We are happy travellers now, knowing that our kitten-kinder are in good hands while we are away!

We can't be more thrilled with the level of service and care Susan gave us and our kitties! We now know we can head out on a trip and the fur-kids will be home in their own environment and taken care of!! Thanks again to Susan for taking care of Zephy and Zavi!! You are the very best!!!

I should mention Ally took care of Kramer from when he was just a wee little boy to almost six years old. She helped me train him (although he obeys her more than me). Also, and this is super cool, Ally is a vet tech, so she was always quick to point-out when I needed to take Kramer to the vet.

This company is the worst! DO NOT BOOK WITH THEM!!…read more I've asked them to cat sit (shy kitty visit) a few times, and things were alright at first. There were no problems, besides the key not working properly one time. Then, very recently, An absolute NIGHTMARE happened. They locked the keys inside the apartment, and they also left the balcony door open! The screen door was slightly open as well, and since i have a cat, they can get through easily. I live on the 5th floor, this is not a safe height to let a cat stay at, and possibly jump out. This mistake was over memorial weekend, where staff and maintenance as well as my girlfriend and I were out of town or busy. They texted me, and gave me a half hearted insincere apology. When I tried opening their pet sitting portal recently, trying to take up their offer of reimbursing the key lock out fee of $250 over a holiday weekend, they had ghosted me!! I was locked out of my account, and my number blocked. AVOID THIS COMPANY!! They make stupid mistakes and endanger pets -- the very last thing you want from a pet sitting company.

I really wanted to like this company's services, but I didn't find that they were detail oriented…read moreenough for my cat and I. An important message that I sent was missed, which led to my cat's waste collecting over a period of days in the tub, and with my cat eventually peeing on my bed (he is beyond hygienic and selective with where he goes to the bathroom). Even with the missed message, I would think their noses would lead them to the tub? It absolutely stank when I got home (there was also dried cat vomit in the bathroom - I just live in a studio). And I then had to spend hours washing everything on my bed, getting Urine Destroyer, etc... really not ideal after getting home from a trip. This is in addition to lights being left on, pill pocket pack not sealed after use, and litter and garbage preferences not followed. Also, I would have preferred they contacted me when my cat decided not to eat his medicine the first day, than to decide how to handle it on their own, although their idea wasn't a bad one. They are perfectly nice people but I would say that if your cat requires anything beyond basic care (throw food in a bowl and scoop box), look elsewhere. Details and communication are important. I communicated some of this to the company and they offered me a free visit in the future, which I thought was a bit presumptuous. They did play with him and actually spend time with him (instead of feeding and dashing), which is something I do appreciate.

Finding Christina has eased our anxiety about using traditional kennels for our boarding needs. Our dogs have far less anxiety, as well as enjoy staying in the comfort of their own home. Sometimes we've used her for the normal pet sitting with visits throughout the day, but prefer her overnight care to ensure our pets are safe and sound throughout the night.
