Furfolk began with a simple idea: pets feel safest and happiest at home, surrounded by their people and routines. When our own work days stretched long, we struggled to find care that was personal, reliable and transparent. So we built the service we wanted for our own animals—professional in-home pet care that treats every animal like family.
Marcus has spent years running operations and customer experience teams, so he’s a little obsessed with things working smoothly and on time. After too many late nights worrying about his own dogs while juggling a busy executive role, he decided Brisbane needed a pet care service that was as reliable and organised as it was loving, fromregular dog walking to overnight stays at home. At Furfolk, Marcus looks after the behind-the-scenes systems, quality checks and safety processes that make sure every visit happens when it should, exactly as promised – with plenty of photo updates along the way.
Ashleigh brings a strong people and HR background to Furfolk, which shows up in the way she chooses and supports carers. She’s focused on finding kind, trustworthy humans first, then giving them the training and tools to look after pets the way she’d want for her own. From thoughtful meet & greet sessions to clear communication with families after each dog walk or overnight stay, Ashleigh’s priority is making sure both pets and owners feel genuinely cared for, not just “booked in”.
No two pets are the same. We build a simple care plan around your pet’s routine—walk pace, play style, meds and mealtimes—then stick to it. Special requests welcome; we’ll make it work.
Your home and pets are a big responsibility. Our carers are police-checked, insured and pet first-aid trained. You’ll get time-stamped notes and photos after every visit, so you always know how they went.
Furfolk is Brisbane-owned and owner-led. You’ll meet your regular carer at a complimentary meet-and-greet and keep the same friendly face whenever possible for calmer, happier pets.
From GPS-logged dog walks to quick photo check-ins, we keep you in the loop without the fuss. Message us anytime and expect fast, friendly replies—before, during and after each booking.
We’re very selective about who we trust with your pets. Every Furfolk carer goes through a detailed application, experience check and interview process before they’re allowed to walk dogs or provide in-home pet sitting. We verify references, run police checks and look for people who are genuinely calm, confident and experienced around dogs and other pets.
Before caring for your pet, each carer completes our tailored training covering dog-handling, safety, house-sitting etiquette and emergency procedures, so you know your pets and home are in reliable hands.
Furfolk provides dog walking and in-home pet care across Brisbane’s Northside. Our main service area includes suburbs such as Warner, Bray Park, Strathpine, Albany Creek, Eatons Hill, Ferny Hills, Arana Hills, Everton Hills, Samford Valley, Cashmere and nearby North Brisbane suburbs.
If you’re unsure whether your street is covered, or you’re just outside these zones, get in touch with your address. We’ll let you know what’s possible and whether we can add you to our expansion list.
Your pet’s safety comes first. At your Meet & Greet we collect your vet details, emergency contacts and any medical information so we have a clear plan if something goes wrong.
If there’s an emergency during a dog walk or pet sitting visit, your carer will focus on keeping your pet safe, contact you (or your nominated emergency contact) as quickly as possible and follow your instructions. Where urgent veterinary care is required, we’ll arrange transport to your nominated vet or the closest suitable clinic and keep you updated throughout. For serious incidents involving people or property, carers are trained to call 000 and follow emergency services advice.
We’d love to meet you and your furry family. A quick meet & greet helps us understand your pet’s routine, personality, and what makes them happiest — so we can care for them just the way you do.
Book Your Meet & Greet Today and let’s make sure your next trip away is stress-free for both you and your pet.
