We just recently left our little terrier Miya with Katy at Furkids for a week and we were 100% satisfied. Katy sent us daily updates on how Miya was doing and how their hikes went along with photos and it made us feel so much more at ease. We weren't sure Miya would want to come home because she was having so much fun! The forms you fill out ask who else in your family to call in case of emergency as well as how much are you willing to pay in an emergency and it just made us feel more confident in Furkids that they are covering all the bases. We definitely recommend Furkids and will use Katy again! read more

Furkids Pet Care - Thanks for all the hikes! Ruff! - Pet Sitting Near Me

I have nothing but positive things to say about Furkids Pet Care. Katy is the best! I always feel really good knowing she's checking in on my cats. She's incredibly thorough, and on the first visit thought of lots of things I hadn't - like testing out the keys I cut for her to make sure they worked. Her understanding of pets and their behaviour is fantastic. My shy cat, who normally hides around strangers, instantly liked Katy. read more

We have worked with Katy and Furkids Pet Care for 2 years now. She has been cat-sitting for our cat Kali and we could not be happier. Katy and her team are excellent with animal care and our cat is so happy and well taken care of when we get home from trips. Highly recommend this business. Make sure you book well in advance as this is a popular cat- and dog- sitting service. read more

Katy looked after our dog Stella while we were out of town for five days. We were constantly kept updated on her adventures through pics of her hikes and walks. It was great knowing she was in such good hands and well looked after. I would highly recommend Fur Kids to anyone looking for boarding or walking services for their dog. read more

I used to swap cat-sitting services with nearby friends who also had cats, but when I started travelling a lot for work I didn't want to overtax my friends' goodwill and decided to look into professional pet-sitting services. I quickly landed on Furkids' website (formerly Diamond Dogs) and liked what I saw, so I contacted them and they immediately sent me the necessary paperwork and booked a preliminary meeting. The rest is history: they've been my cat-sitters ever since! In addition to being thoroughly professional (and professionally thorough), Katy and Helen are sweethearts who obviously love the animals they care for and go the extra mile to make sure both pet and owner are happy. I love that when I was away I'd get email updates with photos, and that in addition to looking after my cat Griffin, they would also water my plants, pick up my mail, turn my lights on and off, and so on. I used to joke that Griffin probably liked them better than me because they paid more concentrated attention to her than I did. As Griffin aged she also needed a changing complex of medications, which Furkids handled expertly and compassionately. And when she showed signs of serious decline when I was out of town a couple of months ago, Katy phoned me immediately to let me know and get instructions. Since I was coming home the next day I just asked her to monitor Griffin till I got back - but I knew she would do whatever was needed if further intervention was required. Griffin rallied to live another month and we all rejoiced - and she finally ran out of lives a month later. Katy and Helen couldn't have been more supportive and loving, and I know that when I get another cat in the fall, Furkids will be part of the family again. In the meantime, I continue to recommend them to anyone who needs pet care, and will continue to do so. Five stars! read more

We have NEVER used a dog sitting service threw 17 years of owning two Sheltie's, but at the end of May 2014 I found myself in a bind. My husband was being honored in Calgary, and all of the friends that Dakota would have stayed with were in Calgary with us, so I went online ( with great reservation) and started my search. I came across FurKids, and I thought what a cool name, so I made the one and only call, leaving a message. Within 2 hours I had a call From owner Katy Wilson. I expressed my concerns about boarding, but Katy assured me that Dakota would be well looked after. We made an appointment for Katy to come by our home. She was right on time,Dakota just loved her, so we took the plunge, and agreed to have her picked up a week away. When Katy came to get her I walked out with her, and was amazed to see how pet friendly her truck was ! Dakota jumped right in with no concerns and off they went !! Within 3 hours of her departue I received an email from "Dakota" saying what a great time she was having with Katy and her puppy (including pictues ), which continued each day ! Upon our arrival back to West Vancouver, I emailed Katy of our ETA back to our home, and within 30 minuted Katy had delivered Dakota back home ! We were so impressed with Katy and how she loved and cared for Dakota. We will be using Katy's fantastic services in the future !!! read more

A week before my trip I found out one of my cats needed meds, and my usual cat sitter wasn't up for the task (fair enough: not an easy thing to do). I called Furkids and Katy was willing to do it, last minute, meds, and all. It was such a relief, and that was only reinforced when I met her and both my cats (even 'Snuffalupagus', the cat no one ever sees) came out to meet her (my other cat developed an immediate crush on her...so funny!). I was able to enjoy my trip stress free, knowing they were in good hands and with daily reports and photos. Absolutely recommend Furkids, 100%. read more

I usually pay friends to pet sit our two cats, but as we were going away for a full week, my husband and I decided to go with a professional pet-sitting service for peace of mind and for the convenience of our friends. I researched every service I could find and decided that Diamond Dogs was just what we needed. Here's exactly what impressed me about this service, above and beyond any other pet sitting service I've ever used: -Fast response time! I reached out through their website and had a response email within 24 hours. I've had issues reaching other services before, so this impressed me right out of the gates. -Consultation! Meeting with the sitter beforehand gave me great confidence. This was no shrug and a key swap, either; the chat was thorough and she took the time to meet the cats. -Thorough documentation! Everything was covered, from vet info and emergency contacts to the cats' favourite activities. I'm a bit of a worrywart, so it was a huge relief to me to know that our sitter had all the information she could possibly need. Peace of mind. -Support for VOKRA! One of our cats is a VOKRA cat, and we were delighted to hire a service that supports VOKRA (at the time of writing this review, 5% of the fee). The sitter has fostered for VOKRA as well, something that attracted my attention during my research. -Update emails and photos! I got to shriek, "AWW, THE KITTIES!" with each update, because I am a crazy cat lady and miss my babies. -Option for additional services! Though we didn't request them, there are other services available (mail collection, turning lights on/off, plant watering, etc.) available. -Commitment! It just so happened that there was a huge dump of snow the day we left, and it continued right up until we returned. Our cats still got their daily visits. As icing on the cake, our sitter (Katy) was genuine and gentle. Both cats immediately took a liking to her. Even our little spitfire, who usually thinks a hiss means "hello!", was all purrs. So, yes, a 5-star rating to Diamond Dogs! I was thoroughly impressed and will not hesitate to use this service again, and will be recommending it to any pet owners I know! read more

It took me a long time to decide on a dog walker for my two (not always the easiest) dogs. I'm so glad I ended up choosing Katy from Diamond Dogs. Katy truly loves dogs and you can tell that as soon as you meet her - my dogs could tell, too! Abby (my crazy mutt) and Ryan (my Border Collie) have a ton of energy and they're exhausted after hikes with Katy. After I saw how much my dogs took to her, I had her take care of them a few times overnight, too. I'm not quite a "crazy dog person", but I really have to trust someone to leave my dogs with them. I recommend Diamond Dogs to all of my friends! read more
