    Cooling off

    Gosh where do I start. This place has my heart and takes care of my beloved Thor which is a black labrador mix he is two years old and must say is very active. So when I was shopping around for a doggy daycare or as Furshire calls it social time for my handsome Thor. This marked all the right boxes, they take the time to get to know your four legged furry family. The initial process is rather lengthy but so worth it, they want to know us as they have been transparent with their processes on how they will take care of my Thor. When I schedule a social time Thor gets so excited when we get close to the facility. He loves the beautiful Team as I call them, you can tell they love what they do. A big plus they have a pool for the furry family which is a big plus for Thor ad he loves any body of water. He comes home so tired, so satisfied. Plus they feed them and board your furry family if you take a trip and cannot take them. Hands down a great place.

    This place is fantastic. My three dogs have been going here for almost three years now for both daycare and boarding. The dogs are always happy to run inside which is a true testament to the quality of care the staff provide. They get lots of play time and time at the pool. The facility is clean and well kept. Staff is friendly and cares for the dogs. I see some negative reviews about injuries and such, but that stuff happens in a group setting for dogs. The staff keeps you well informed if your dog has issues during their stay. They post photos of dogs playing on their Facebook so you can see that your dogs are having fun and getting exercise. I would recommend this facility to anyone. And to top it off, they are a family owned local business! Can't beat it!

    He slept the whole drive home!

    We sent our 15-month-old German Shepherd Dog to play group to get some wiggles out. He had a blast! He slept the whole drive home, so mission accomplished I really appreciate having a place that will accept intact males and that matches dogs to appropriate play groups. I loved being able to see pictures of him making new friends on social media. The staff was friendly and answered all of my questions. The drop-off and pick-up processes felt calm, safe, and controlled. We will definitely be back for more fun times and boarding!

    My dog was attacked by another dog while staying @ the Furshire. The owner and staff were negligent in his post care because they did not want to assume liability. The owner refused to take responsibility for this. I had to pay for his care at the vet $500. Do not bring your dog here. The owner is heartless and doesn't care about the dogs.

    A now former frequent patron of here, I was completely accosted by an employee and directly accused of animal abuse, and was threatened to be reported for abuse, after politely letting the staff member know I fully understood her concerns (and scolding) about the length of my dogs nails. I really had no choice but to eventually interrupt the fourth simultaneous time she told me I needed to get them clipped more frequently upon picking up my dog. Ironically, I asked for them to trim the nails a few weeks prior during a stay, and they failed to do so, but now it's animal abuse that I asked again during the next boarding, because they were so long. If given the opportunity to speak, I could've told her we also called our vet as well to have them clipped but they were booked out for all appointments (see attached email). This was honestly the most unprofessional, apoplectic employee experience I've ever had within any business to consumer setting. In addition to this above, the previous boarding we were presented with a dog, blazing red with skin allergies, after his visit. I was told that we should let them know if he can have Benadryl, as they would've given it to him. Hmmmm...maybe call us and ask that question given his circumstance? Oddly enough, I didn't throw a tantrum and accuse them of animal abuse. But that is precisely the behavior one employee will display if you cross her path and don't allow her to repeatedly verbally assault you. That being said, as someone who is a huge animal lover and someone who loves my dog more than anything, I've never been so offended. It was like being victimized and then being accused as the assailant. I hope this feedback helps you as you determine where and whom you allow to care for your pets while you are out of town. I clearly suggest searching elsewhere. If you're wondering we've had to board our boy so many times, my wife has terminal Huntington's Chorea disease, and we have to travel to San Diego La Jolla as she's enrolled in a clinical trial at UCSD research center. My wife tried to explain them, even in her state of physical limitation, that we've been trying to get his nails done, but she too was interrupted rudely. What a sad way to treat people that love for their pet and would never do anything to harm any animal on this planet.

    I am very pleased with this place. I have never taken my Fur-baby to a board in care or a doggie day care. I was very concerned about leaving him for four days. We had NEVER been apart that long since the day we decided to adopt him. The staff was very nice and loving with Rufus. They were even nice about me and my husband texting to see how he was doing and oblige us with pictures.. We will definitely take him back he seemed to enjoy it there; So Thank you to the Staff at Furshire, for allowing us to breathe while on vacation and for showing him a great time.

    Bark Wahlberg had an amazing day at the Furshire as usual. Couldn't be more happy with this place. We have been taking him here since he was a puppy and wouldn't even dream of going somewhere else. Amazing amazing amazing !

Kristie is clear in her instructions to the humans and is patient with answering questions and modeling how to give commands and corrections.

For dog sitting, in our home, we've used Michelle several times now and she is great. Our 3 dogs love her and she clearly loves them too. We have 2 Great Danes and Beagle/Boston Terrier mix who are getting up there in age. Our male Great Dane has a number of health issues and Michelle handles it all so well. There's a laundry list of medications for the dogs and she does a great job keeping up with it all. She doesn't mind when I'm that helicopter dog mom and I check too often on my sick boy. Regardless of his illness, Michelle sends many pictures and text updates on how things are going with all the dogs. As a very protective momma, I trust Michelle completely with my furbabies and home. We love having Michelle take care of our babies... so much so that when we were planning the August trip we just completed, she wasn't available on our original dates, so we moved our trip to make sure she was available. I appreciate the freedom Kristie and Michelle offer us to get away several times a year. I completely trust them. Give them a shot!

He asked that I buy a lock box on Amazon and place it somewhere in the garage of my building with my keys inside for the pet sitter. I'm used to giving my keys to my pet sitters, but this is actually pretty convenient because it means that I can get my key back right away when I come home. There have been a couple pet sitters who have been to my place, but Anna has been there the most. All of them post updates with photos that appear on the app that you can download on your smartphone (you also get an email copy of this as well). I feel like Anna has really gotten to know my kitty and I appreciate that she really seems to enjoy spending time with her. The other convenient thing about this pet sitter is that you can request the dates of your pet sits online and also you can pay for them with credit card afterwards.

Usually, with the boarding we have done with Altavista and Petsmart, we wouldn't need dog food but at least now we know next time. Theresa also had other dogs there and when we picked up Abigail, we noticed how much calmer our dog was. I think it did her a world of good to play with the other dogs. Given the reasonable prices, we would definitely use this pet sitting service for overnight and doggie day care. She also takes credit cards which is convenient!
