Fur Stars Pet Care is a safe and reliable pet care company. We have such a love for all animals; it shows in our work and more importantly, your pets will love us!
A canine slumber party every night because it's YOUR dog and he/she deserves to be pampered.
Why choose a pet sitter over boarding your dog at a kennel? The easiest answer is more attention for your pet(s). There is much more one-on-one attention given to your pet - especially important for young puppies and older dogs. Your dog will be not be in a crate for hours on end during the day or at night. Being in a home reduces stress for your pet(s) while you are away by keeping their regular schedule as normal as possible. Your dog will return home happy and tired.
Having your dog stay with us may also save you some money by avoiding add on costs. Fur Stars Pet Care does not charge extra for outdoor playtime, walks, treats, or basic training encouragement. We can also provide pictures and videos of your dog via email or text message while you are away!
