Jeff Thom baby-sat my chiuhuahuas for many years. He loved them almost as much as I did. When one of them got cancer, we drove 250 miles round-trip on more than a dozen occasions to a special clinic for veterinary oncology, which saved my dog's life. No one on this earth cares more about animals, understands their needs, and is both willing and able to do whatever it takes to make them feel happy and safe at all times than Jeff. He is both intuitive and intellectual about his work, making it both a craft and a calling. He has clients on both coasts, licensed and bonded in several states, and is unflappable with every breed, every temperament, and every "problem" your dog or cat may have. He will treat your pet as if it were his own, without making you the least bit jealous of his manner or his rapport. You will count him as a friend, as well as an expert, first-class professional in his field. You will have no regrets, unless you move far away and have to find someone else. For love or money, there is no one who is his equal, except you. Guaranteed. read more

Jeff "dog sat" for me the past few days. Jeff, was so patient and loving with them. They got so excited to see him and Tug the second day, they were barking and so excited to get out of the car! Hahaha! Rowdy was so enamored with the chickens and loved Tug! Jeff was so patient with Luna, she is not a "city dog" and her anxiety gets the best of her. He understood and loved her through it, thank you for that. It was such a relief to know that they were well taken care of and I could feel comfortable that they were with him and having fun. Jeff communicated with me all day with pictures and progress updates to let me know they were doing well. That was so fantastic. Thank you so much much Jeff, Laurie and Tug, we will see you again very soon for more fun and Rowdy is so excited to watch more, chicken T.V. ! I recommend very highly!! Susan read more

Outstanding I've had my dog bella for about a year now. Just recently I went on vacation and had to leave her for the first time wich had me paniced. As much as I love my fur baby shes not without her behavioral issues. I knew I needed to find a professional that could keep bella in a loving but safe environment. South seattle fur babies did that and more with updates and pictures of bellas time spent. I could relax knowing she was on a great vacation same as I was. Best of all they had some great training pointers for me when I got home, since making these small changes bella behavior has gotten significantly better! I found their pricing to be significantly fair for all the ease they put me in, all an around awesome expierence. My next vacation can't come soon enough and I think bella can agree! read more

Week four of walking 2 of our Headquarters rescued dogs. It's so nice to not have to worry about anything and I come home to a more calm environment and both Shelby and Hugo are happier. We have had many dog walkers over the years and our trust was really low due to each previous one letting us down. CJ was diligent we started talking about this in April but due to my hectic schedule and previous issues I was very reluctant. We receive a walk update and usually photos too, he already found a good place to walk them and works with Hugo on is manners too! Gosh we literally hit the JACKPOT! So thankful to you! read more

One of the best places I've had my dog stay! CJ is trustworthy and very reliable. I wasn't worried for a second with my pit, duncan. Duncan can be "high maintenance" in some behavioral areas and CJ was very professional in the ways he approached those potential issues. There were no major problems while Duncan stayed with CJ, which is a very big deal considering other places I have had Duncan stay. I will most definitely be seeing CJ again for any time I need a place for Duncan to stay, or even if I need him to be fed every now and then when I can't do it! Thank you CJ!! read more

Finding someone to walk my dog is nearly impossible as he can be reactive to other dogs and unable to leave my side to walk with someone else..Then along came CJ (Jeff) and did the impossible. He was recommended to me, by a friend, and I will be forever grateful. Not only did he have the knowledge and patience with our dog to get through the 'getting to know you' stage, he is also a great communicator, easy going and reliable. I have been through many trainers, dog whisperers, and dog classes CJ is, by far, the easiest and best dog person you could wish for. read more

We have enjoyed having Jeff care for our dog and our home several times when we are on vacation. Receiving a photo text of our dog snuggling with his caregiver really helps me relax and enjoy my vacation. Our dog either needs to be in his own home or at the home of someone he is comfortable with in our absence. Jeff even saved my dog's life during an unexpected crisis. Fur Babies are excellent at helping socialize dogs. Years of experience with dogs and a true love for animals is evident when we see our dog enjoy Fur Babies. read more

CJ is simply the best -- I have known him for nearly 12 years --- he walked my dogs when they were mere pups and dog-sat numerous times. Totally trustworthy, ethical, dependable, and responsible. Importantly, CJ loves animals ... He is attentive and communicative. Pictures and highlights of the day are something I always looked forward to receiving. It speaks volumes that despite living in different states now, we continue to keep in touch. The dogs and I miss him and truly wish he lived closer! read more

CJ is reliable, trustworthy and respects my space. His years of experience and sweet way with pups really shined when he got my standoffish terrier to trust him enough to come near her and accepted his offer for a walk. She's a tough sell ;) My dog always got a good stroll with him and it was nice to know someone could offer her some relief while I was at work. I always got updates on my pet's walk and fun pictures of her enjoying her time with CJ. I highly recommend South Seattle Fur Babies. read more

I love Fur Babies! I highly recommend them. They are the only people I trust to watch my rescue dog when away for the day or on vacation. They always keep me posted with pics and texts updating me on their visit and showing me my happy doggy putting my mind at ease when I am away. They gave me freedom to leave on vacation and know my dog is happy and taken care of so i don't feel guilty for being away. You know how that goes when your dog is like your child lol! Love them! read more

CJ is great. He has been willing to come to two separate locations in Seattle (one of which was a hotel room) to check on our cats. He was extremely accommodating, respectful of our home, and attentive to our cats. He kept us up-to date on the status of our home and the tasks he accomplished. He was even willing to stop by on a holiday (Thanksgiving) on short notice. I really recommend his services! read more

CJ took care of my husky, Riley, several times in the past few years, for multiple days at a time. She was getting old and her eyesight wasn't good, so she stopped wanting to travel with us. CJ took care of her in our own home where she could be comfortable and walk in her own neighborhood with familiar surrounding. He is very intuitive to the needs of dogs, and he adores them more than many humans. read more

We all adore Jeff! Our Baloo has spent many of his holidays with Jeff and Lori and Tug and we always know he is getting lots of loving from all. They take good care of the house, too, and leave everything in tip-top shape. Jeff is a great communicator during, before, and after the stay, checking in and keeping us informed/giving us much-needed reminders. And I love the photos he sends, too! read more

Fur Babies is the only dog sitter I use! My Addie Bird is sensitive and struggles when I am gone--but not when she stays with CJ, Lori, & Tug!! She is always happy at their house (or mine) and I know she is getting the best care. It makes traveling for me worry free. While I travel she is at the Fur Babies "Spa." I can't recommend them highly enough. read more

We are so happy with Jefferson and South Seattle Fur Babies. He is so knowledgeable about. Animal behavior and has a love of dogs. He is also really accommodating as well. I totally have the utmost confidence in Seattle Fur Babies. If you need some one to watch your pup, you won't find a better sitter than Seattle Fur Babies! read more

CJ is the best dog sitter for our two (Mini Aussie & Pitty mix). We first hired him as a dog walker in 2020 & then he has boarded them ever since. CJ is knowledgable, kind & caring. Our dogs arrive happy & leave sad because our home it not has fun as CJ's. Definitely worth every experience. Thank you, CJ! read more

Jeff has been walking our 100-lb, strong-willed dog for over 4 years. He is a dog whisperer, and very dependable. He has also been our pet sitter for our elderly cats and our dog. We always know our fur babies and house are in good hands and can relax on vacation. I highly recommend his services. read more

I was in a lurch when my cat care person cancelled a few days before my trip, but I was able to get in touch with CJ, who stepped up and eased all my concerns! He took good care of my one cat and sent me photos so that I knew she was happy and safe :) I will definitely call him again! read more

My high anxiety family member gets the BEST care from them. Above and beyond! Whenever I pick her up after a trip, she is happy to see me but I can tell she did great while I was away. This is a totally different result than the other places we have tried. All good! read more
