Going away and need someone you can genuinely trust with your pets and your home? Furfolk offers calm, reliable pet sitting in Ferny Hills, so your pets can stay in their own space, follow their normal routines, and avoid the stress of kennels or catteries.
Whether you’re away for a long weekend or an extended trip, your dedicated Furfolk sitter will keep everyone fed, walked, cuddled and cared for – and keep you updated with photos and notes from every visit.
More than just “popping in” – we care for your whole household.
In-home comfort – Pets stay in their own beds, with their own smells and routines. Perfect for anxious, senior or medically fragile pets.
Experienced local sitters – Police-checked, insured and trained to handle different pet personalities and needs.
Clear communication – Photos, notes and updates after every visit or overnight stay, so you’re never left wondering how things are going.
Flexible visit schedules – From once-a-day feeding to multiple visits plus overnight stays – we’ll build a plan around your pets, not the other way around.
Home care included – Mail, bins, blinds and basic plant watering can be built into your visits so your home still looks “lived in” while you’re away.
Furfolk is part of a small, owner-operated Pet Sitting Brisbane Northside team – so if something changes, you’re dealing directly with locals, not a faceless app.
You can mix and match visit types depending on your pets and your trip:
Standard pet sitting visits – Feeding, fresh water, toilet breaks, playtime or cuddles, basic tidy-up around food and litter areas.
Dog walks during sits – Short neighbourhood walks or structured, private walks for dogs who need extra exercise or one-on-one attention.
Cat and small pet care – Litter trays, brushing, play, cages or enclosures cleaned as needed.
Medication support – Simple oral medications and basic treatments as discussed at your Meet & Greet.
Overnight stays – A sitter sleeps in your home, perfect for pets who don’t like being alone overnight or for higher-needs households.
Home care extras – Mail collected, bins in/out, blinds and lights rotated, basic plant watering.
If you’re not sure what you need, we can start with a simple Ferny Hills pet sitting plan and adjust once we know how your pets cope.
Our sitters know the area well and understand the rhythm of life in Ferny Hills.
For dogs that enjoy a wander during their stay, we typically stick to quiet, familiar streets around your home or head towards nearby green spots like George Willmore Park or the Lomandra Park surrounds for a gentle on-lead sniff and stretch – always based on your instructions and your dog’s temperament.
For indoor-only pets, we focus on enrichment inside the home – play, puzzle feeders, grooming and calm company – so they feel secure even while you’re away.
Peace-of-mind check-ins while you’re away. We keep pets comfy at home with feeds, fresh water, and play—plus quick home care so everything’s as you left it.
Short, reliable visits for feeding, toilet breaks and enrichment—perfect for busy days or when you’re out a bit longer than planned.
As a Dog Walking Brisbane service based on the northside, our friendly team of local dog walkers keeps your pets happy, healthy, and loved while you’re away, whether you’re working long hours or just need an extra hand.

Boarding can be stressful for many pets. Our overnight stays mean your dogs, cats, or small animals stick to their usual environment, food, and sleeping arrangements. You’ll return to a relaxed pet — and a tidy home — exactly as you left it.
Your home and privacy are treated with the utmost respect. All Furfolk carers are police-checked, insured, and trained to follow our strict key and security policy. We also provide an emergency protocol — including contact with your nominated vet and updates to you — for full peace of mind.
While dogs and cats are our most common clients, we also care for a range of other pets. From birds and chickens to fish, reptiles and small animals, we’ll always confirm what’s involved before booking to make sure your pet is matched with a carer who’s comfortable and experienced with their needs.
To make visits smooth and stress-free, we’ll confirm the safest way to access your home during your meet & greet. Many clients use a lockbox or secure key location, while others prefer an on-site solution such as a side gate or garage entry.
If none of these options work, we’ll discuss alternatives that suit your home and schedule. Your carer will only access your property for booked visits, and all access details are handled securely.
Yes. Many of our carers are experienced with medication, seniors, anxious pets and animals with specific care plans. Just let us know the details at your meet & greet so we can match you with the right carer and document everything clearly.
If we’re ever concerned about your pet, we’ll contact you (and your nominated emergency contact) immediately. Where needed, we’ll take your pet to your nominated vet or the closest available clinic and keep you updated every step of the way.
We provide friendly, reliable dog walking and in-home pet sitting across Brisbane’s Northside, with regular visits in Warner, Bray Park, Strathpine, Albany Creek, Eatons Hill and surrounding suburbs.
