Safety & Security You Can Count On

All Furfolk carers are police-checked, insured, and trained to handle emergencies calmly and professionally. Keys are securely coded and stored (never labelled with names or addresses) and we’re happy to use your lockbox if preferred.

Comfort, Routine & Familiar Surroundings

We know pets feel safest in their own home. During each visit, your Furfolk carer will follow your pet’s normal feeding, play, and toileting routine. We’ll top up water, tidy food areas, water indoor plants if needed, and send you a detailed update with photos after every visit.

Ideal for All Kinds of Pets

From cats and dogs to rabbits, fish, birds, and reptiles — our experienced carers provide gentle, reliable attention for every species. We can also accommodate special needs, medication, or extra cuddles for anxious pets.

Frequently asked questions

What type of pets do you care for?

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.

How does the sitter gain entry to my home?

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.

Can you give medication or look after pets with special needs?

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.

What if there’s an emergency while I’m away?

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.
