I booked a session because one of my dogs was sick so I wanted to get some photos of him and I told her I wanted to bring along my 3 dogs and large family (5 humans) for the session. I was worried about it being too much or chaotic but she handled it like the pro she is! I got so many wonderful photos of everyone. I just had to put my dog down this past Friday and I am so thankful I have these wonderful photos to keep his memory alive.

I know I'm just adding to the pile of positive remarks about Nicole's work & manner, but it's worth…read morenoting. It's the least I could do for what she has given me. Not only is Nicole incredibly skilled with her camera and use of natural and ambient lighting (even on a sort of gray, finicky day like ours was), but she's really gifted with working with cats (and I'm sure dogs, too). We did some of the portraits inside at home, and some outside in the garden near our house. Our cat, Cleo is seldom impressed by conventional toys or noisemakers but Nicole seemed to know exactly how to get him to look interested and cooperate - plus her magical cat toys must've had kitty crack on them -- Cleo loved them way better than anything we've ever gotten him. Also, it's worth saying that Nicole's method was very relaxed and flexible. She never forced Cleo into doing this or that - she let Cleo sort of lead the way, resulting in zero tension despite the unusual circumstances (from Cleo's perspective). Cleo is notoriously un-photogenic, given that he has black fur and always seems to hate it when I point my phone or camera at him. This is one of the reasons I felt it worth it to hire a pro. Cleo is almost 14 years old as I write this review - he's still really active and fun, but he's not getting any younger. I'm so glad I finally bit the bullet and hired Nicole for Cleo's pet portrait. It was worth every cent and she was such a pleasure to work with. I really like her personality and style, and especially the beautiful photos I ended up with. I am ever grateful for her service.

Nicole's photography is unparalleled in it's style and beauty…read more As a photographer myself, it's the kind of imagery that makes me want to give up shooting pictures altogether, to bag up all my cameras and lenses in a big Hefty sack and dump them into the river. It's that good ... I recently hired Nicole to shoot portraits of my wife and pets (two dogs, Kaya and Shonee) and have to say that I am MORE than impressed with the results. Just last night I was reviewing the digital images when one of the photos really touched me. No exaggeration, my eyes were welling up with tears! There is something so special about her perspective, something so sublime about her style, that there aren't enough adjectives available to properly describe it. Beautiful. Powerful. Captivating. Expressive. Smooth. Engaging. Emotional. Exciting. Playful. Contemplative. Serene. Intriguing. Perceptive. Like the ingredients of a gourmet dish, all of these apply in different proportions, depending on the subject and the scene. I have never been a big fan of framing portraits and mounting them on the wall in my home, but this time, I'm already thinking about which images to get printed and how to frame them. Nicole's photography is art ...

So glad that we found Krista and Ruff Adventures! After meeting Krista at our shared vet we decided…read moreto have her take our 14 year old, Ella, out for an "Honor" photo session. My husband and I have 4 dogs (that we spoil like they are our children) and we instantly felt comfortable sending our elderly dog (along with some props) with Krista for the morning. A few hours later Krista returned our extremely happy Ella after visiting downtown Austin, the green belt and wildflower fields. A few hours later, Krista gave us a sneak peak of some of the unedited photos. As soon as we saw how talented she is we asked her to book us to take more pics of our other dogs. Today Krista dropped off Ella's hardback book, and wow!!!! She truly captured her young-at-heart spirit. I'm not sure how she got so much energy and variety of facial expression in one morning from our girl, but I could not be happier with the quality of the pictures and the book! For our second session we asked Krista to take pictures of our two American Bulldogs at our house. Taking pictures of these two children is no simple task... One is a 17 month old female, 95lbs and in heat....and the other is 22 month old male and 85lbs... We got to watch Krista in action with our pups and she truly is some kind of dog-whisperer! We can't wait to see the results! Extremely professional, high quality pictures, high quality ( and not flimsy) photo book, well worth the money. Thrilled that we found Krista and we HIGHLY recommend her to fellow dog lovers!!!

My dog is friendly senior dog and I consider him a bolter (not so good off leash)but she was able to take him out and get him to obey her commands which resulted in AMAZING photos!!! They were gone for the entire morning and when he came back he was a happy camper. It's like taking your dog to doggy daycare and getting great pictures in return that'll last a life time. If you are wanting to have great memories captured of your dog then look no further. Krista is THE ONE! I would trust her with my dog in a heartbeat and my dog is like my child. Thank you for the awesome photos!!

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.

Hounds lounge is now called "Doghouse on booty rd"…read more I have been bringing my babies here for a couple years, but this last visit was REALLY crappy. I made my appt 3 weeks I n advance for 2 of my dogs. One needed a trim, and one just needed basic grooming without a haircut. When I drop them off that morning the lady (owner) said "2 shaves, right?" I said no, and explained that I gave her personally all the info when I made the appt 3 weeks prior. She used the excuse that it had been weeks, so she didn't remember. (Why wouldn't she have written that very important information down? ) She then told me she couldn't tend to my dogs that day anymore unless they just got shaved. She gave one of my dogs a quick look with a lot of disgust. Judging me for not bringing him in sooner, and telling me his fur couldn't be salvaged, and would have to all be shaved off. She also said that a vet needed to be the one to groom him because his fur was so "severe". I told her I was in between vets at the moment and didn't feel the need to go that route anyway. She asked me who my vet that I no longer trusted was and when I told her the name, she began to say how respectable that dr is. I again told her I didn't like that dr anymore and my bf explained that the vet recommended I end my dog's life for a condition he no longer even has. She then decided it was her place to say (while touching my dog) that if that's what the vet recommended, that I should do it. NO ONE asked For her opinion or recommendation on the matter. Both my bf and I stood there in utter shock at what she was saying. This is the owner! Her daughter had always been very kind and patient with my baby. She however, I did not trust with my child especially since she felt he should be DEAD. I brought both my kids home, refusing to leave them with her. I came home and cleaned up my dog myself. His fur was fine, and his ears brushed right out even though she said she would have to shave them because "they were so bad". She simply seemed to not want my business and tried to scold me numerous times.
