As mentioned in other reviews she is very detail oriented and dependable. She always plays with Girlie and sends nice pictures!

And the key tell to how well she dotes on them is that when we return from wherever we've gone they're pleased to see us, but not in a way that would indicate they missed us all that much. 1000% recommend!

I could not be more impressed with my experiences with Little Furry Things pet sitting services. I…read morewill 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.

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.

She communicates clearly about key exchanges and will even water our plants and bring in packages or mail, if we let her know in advance. Vickie has even gotten our extremely shy cat to come out and play with her, and he doesn't come out for anyone (not even us sometimes)! It's clear that she cares for our animals and treats them with kindness and love. We highly, highly recommend Vickie to all pet owners in the Central District.

I absolutely love this place. When I first brought my cat…read morehere, I was in a bind. I originally was going to take him to Pets Hotel at PetSmart. My cat has asthma, so when I made the reservation with PetSmart, they ensured me that they could take my cat and give him his inhaler. The day that I was to drop my cat off to PetSmart, someone from the store calls me telling me that they can't take my cat because of his asthma. Extremely upset, and worried, I started looking for another place to send my cat, as I was leaving the next morning on a very early flight. I called Cat Sitting Hotels, and I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it was to set up a reservation. I told them about my cat's asthma and they told me that they were trained in how to administer inhalers for cats, another huge relief. The facility is super cute and cozy. Super nice staff who are genuine cat lovers. The cats get alot of free time outside of their kennels. I love the webcams where you can see your loved one whenever you want and they ask you questions about your cats personality, feedings, and more. It was a successful stay from him last time, so I have used them again since then and plan to again. I am seeing some other reviews with claims of injuries to cats and other things. Not saying that these reviews aren't true, just that I have not had those experiences so far. One note of critique is to make sure that you keep your proof of payment, specifically surrounding your deposit. They charge a 200.00 deposit for stays during the holidays, and when I dropped my cat off, I was quoted the full price of his stay. I had to remind the person helping me of my deposit to ensure that I was charged correctly.

We've used them a number of times for vacations of 2 weeks or so. The cats never like going there,…read morebut then don't want to leave when we go pick them up. After the 1st couple of days to settle in, the staff - with permission - let them out to roam, and our most gregarious cat just loves it. The others venture out for pets and exploring, but our Wolfie likes to socialize and seek out the best beds and snacks. He gets rounded up and put in his kennel at night, and we can view them on video if we log in (as provided for each 'accommodation'). The staff are nice and seem to enjoy and get to know the cats. One caveat: it is a Cat Hotel and suited to accommodate the cats 'wants' and preferences. It is not pristine, gets a little funky smelling, and housekeeping and fresh towels are not on demand. Boxes are checked, food is served, and our cats have yet to complain that the pool is not kept clean, so judging from their reticence to check out, it works for them. Windows for bird watching, lots of perches to explore, and they get to roam and not be cooped up which I know they appreciate. Excellent value and flexible customer service (we've missed a flight before, and had a "at the deadline" pick up, and there were no problems). I think the cats prefer it to staying stuck at home and having someone drop-in to feed, water, and check on them.

Duane watched over our male cat for a week while we were gone. He takes great care to make sure…read morethings are in order, food and water are at good levels. Our cat is extremely shy and runs away scared when strangers visit and we assumed he wouldn't make an exception for Duane on that matter. However, we were very excited to receive photos from Duane with the cat cautiously approaching him and studying him - eventually getting close enough to receive a pet. Usually when we return from a trip we find the cat hiding under the bed, but this time, after Duane had visited him for a week, we found him atop the cat tree greeting us with a casual meow!

I wish I had found Duane years before I did. Our old tortoiseshell Emma really loved Duane. Emma…read moreloved everyone. But I did not love our previous hired cat sitters as much as him. Duane sent photos and stories and emails when he was with Emma. I never had to check in with him to make sure all was well; he knew the importance of initiating that contact so I didn't have to. From the first time I met him, I knew he really cared about cats. Yesterday, I received a call from Duane asking if he could come over to drop something off for us. He knew Emma had been sick, and he asked if she had died. I said yes, she died, four weeks ago. Diane said he wanted to give us something in memory of her. He brought us photos he had taken of Emma, and had framed one of them. It brought me to tears. You're awesome, Duane. Thank you for caring for our sweet Emma. -Megan (Tommy), JD, and Ellis

Xandra at Four Paws did drop-in visits for me during a four-day weekend to care for two cats. It…read morewas a great experience and the cats were relaxed and happy when I returned. To be honest, a lot of the magic is in the client wrangling. The product isn't so much "pet care" as "confidence that your pets are being thoughtfully and attentively cared for by someone that appreciates all their wonderful qualities." There's inherently a certain artifice to the detailed communication, the (high-quality!) photos of gamboling cats, and the kind observations. But boy, I ate it up, and I imagine most other people with pets would too. It's incredibly comforting to know that your animals are in good hands.

The caregivers have always been wonderful, especially more recently when we needed 3 walks in a day during our wedding. We needed someone trustworthy so we wouldn't have to worry about whether there was an issue on a day when neither of us would be available in case of an emergency. Everything went smoothly and Daphne was happy as she could be to have walkers and friends visiting her throughout the day. The update reports and photos are also nice for peace of mind. We wouldn't hire anyone else for dog walks or daytime care. They're excellent and reliable.

Prior to that, I traveled a few times a year, and Nicole took care of my fur baby while away. In 2008, we had a huge snowstorm in Seattle that blocked sidewalks (and many side streets) for days with heavy snow. Nicole walked up a steep, snowy and icy hill almost a mile (!) to tend to my cat (until I was able to safely make it back to Seattle.) How is that for dedication? I was blown away. My cat adored Nicole, and I did, too :-) Don't hesitate for one minute to use her service.

I travel fairly regularly, usually for two or three weeks at a time, and it is very important for me to know my kitties are safe and cared for. Nikole the owner, and her husband Murray, are really caring and have a confident manner. My kitties really respond to them -- even my shy one who is very choosy about who he comes out from under the bed for. They send me periodic emails while I'm away with pictures of my boys and a "pee and poop" report so that I know my boys are doing okay. Those pictures mean the world to me, when I'm away from home! I trust Nikole and Murray of Little Wet Noses implicity with my precisous boys when I'm away from home. They are professional, passionate, trustworthy, and have an obvious love of animals. Highest recommendation.
