Testimonials - what our Mummy’s & Daddy’s say about us……
"Thank you so much for looking after Kitty so well while we were away. Apart from being a bit clingy yesterday (which is a nice change from her normally aloof nature), she was very happy. Thank you also for the lovely gifts - that is so nice of you!
I will be in contact again closer to Easter to confirm dates etc.
Thanks again"
Lisa & Sandy G (Cat pet Visiting Morningside)

"Stephanie and Ian, Just a quick note to say thanks for looking after my baby so well while we were out of town,
She was very happy to us when we got home,
No signs of any distress
We certainly will be calling on you again.
Cheers till then"

"I have used the services of furry kids™ at Home for overnight, a week, and 6 weeks durations. Stephanie and Ian run an easy and practical service and looked after my little darlings so well! It's great to know your pets are in good hands in their own environment while you're away. And you're always contacted to give you peace of mind that they've been looked after. I would always recommend furry kids™ and will always use them!"
Julie, Norman Park
"…..it was great for once to get home from a holiday and find that Wilbur and Chini didn’t seem to miss us, or their daily recreation, at all. Furrykids is such an economical, sensible and pet – friendly (not to mention owner friendly!) alternative for us…"
Paul & Shelly L Tingalpa (cat minding/visiting)
"Thank you so much for your professionalism with walking Rufy & Diva. It has made getting back on my feet so much easier knowing you were there and so much nicer to be able to keep the dogs with me at home…"
Mary S Hill End (regular dog walking)
"Thanks very much for taking care of the dogs, they were very well looked after and they were quite excited when I gave them their little treat that you had left for them! Appreciate all your efforts and the little extra touches which you added! Looking forward to seeing them on the blog..."
Sue F Coorparoo (dog minding/ visiting)
"Just wanted to say thank you for looking after Barney & Butters while we have been Overseas. It has been a great relief to know they have been in such great hands. I will be sure to recommend you to my friends. Thanx again."
Kate J Carina ( Budgies – pet sitting)
"Not being able to find suitable holiday accommodation for our 'kids' Bazil and Bertie has limited our holidays. After a disastrous experience with kennel accommodation we seeked an alternative so that we could all have a stress free break. In stepped 'furry kids at Home™'. We have used their services for over 12 months, ranging from an overnight stay up to a couple of weeks overseas and mini breaks in between. The level of care is fabulous and personal, both for 'kids' and their 'parents'. We arrive home to happy, healthy dogs who cannot wait to go back to see Stephanie, Ian, Monet and whoever else may be lucky enough to be staying over! "
Shae & Greg D Rochedale ( Dogs Homestay)
"Another holiday for us and another holiday for our dog ! We would like to sincerely thankyou for again taking such great care of our dog Rueben whilst we were away. Rueben is our most important family member and you treat him that way as well. We were able to relax on our holiday knowing that he was being taken care of so well. We really appreciated the regular updates and he was in great condition when we got home. I think he still misses you guys, so he obviously enjoyed it as well.
Thanks again."
Sonja & John (pet sitting/minding furry kid - dog)
"We would be very pleased to write about furry kids@ home™ . We found the service very friendly. We are always impressed by your professionalism and that you truly care for the “furry kids™ ”. It made our holidays more relaxing to know that Digby was been loved and well cared for. Nick always looked forward to the SMS about Digby to know that he was OK. We have also referred you onto our friends. Thanks. "
Michelle, Nick & Digby (pet sitting/ minding furry kid – dog)
"For the first time in 13years, knowing that my little white devil gets as much love and cuddles as he does at home I can now have holidays + weekends away with out stressing that he’s not getting the attention that he gets at home...Stephanie and Ian are my saviours ..."
Kerry R ( home stay for Maltese)
"You have made my life so much easier, a bit hard when you move to a new state and don't have family and close friends who were always willing to look after the babies. They are so much happier staying at home than going to vets and pet motels. You have a great service, keep it up. I don't even get the stares at the suitcases anymore.... Thanks. "
