FurBabies Home Pet Care provides in-home pet care. We provide pet sitting, dog walking, and overnight stay service to our clients 7 days a week, 365 days a year. We have established a stellar reputation in this industry because our passion for pets is genuine. We prioritize the health and happiness of all of our “clients,” as well as the owners that love them.

Our sitters travel to the client’s home when they need us the most. Whether this is due to long days at work, holiday travels, working from home but not enough time to walk the dog, medical reasons, the list goes on. You name it, we are there. 

We have customized options so our clients can choose the best time frame and duration of the visits based on their pet’s needs. We can also bring in the mail and packages, water plants, adjust lights/blinds - to give that ‘lived in look’. 

The first step is to contact us to confirm availability and discuss your pet and home needs. If we feel we are a great fit for each other we have a very simple registration process that will be explained to them. 

Occasional situations arise when Fido & Fluffy are not happy at home and they need special attention. FurBabies understands keeping a pet at home doesn’t always work best for the pet. Noisy, chaotic facilities aren’t the answer either. Private Boarding is offered in my DeBary home on a limited basis. However, we do have pet care providers who can remain at the client’s home. This is our overnight/house sitting service, which is VERY popular, and it’s what I use for my pups when I travel.

Our sitters can visit their clients’ homes up to 4 times per day. 

Morning time slot is between 7 - 9 AM
Mid-Day time slot is between 10 - 3 PM
Dinner time slot is between 4 - 6 PM 
Bedtime time slot is between 7:30 – 9:30 PM

No longer than 12 hours ever goes in between visits. For example, if your dog is visited at 8pm, the sitter would arrive at your home no later than 8am the following morning. 

For traveling clients we offer 20-minute, 30-minute, 45-minute and 60-minute visits. The client chooses the duration of the visits and can mix and match to design the best plan for his or her pet. 15-minute visits are available for drop-in visits for selected families. 

For Mid-day Clients (Monday - Friday, 10am - 3pm) we offer 20-minute, 30-minute visits. Due to the Florida heat we can offer 15 minutes to selected families and senior dogs. Contact us about our Puppy Visit Program!

We require an in-home Registration Meeting so you have the opportunity to meet with your new pet care providers. This gives us time to meet you, your pets and to review any information necessary so we may provide the best care for your pets and home. Consultations will last about 20-30 minutes. You will be provided via email our forms to complete before the consultation. We do NOT provide service until all forms are filled out and this meeting has taken place. 

There is a $25 fee for the registration meeting. This fee covers administrative costs related to their account creation, as well as the sitters’ time.

Absolutely! All clients are provided with unique login information to their secured FurBabies account. From their portal they are able to schedule service, view/pay their invoices, update their billing information, chat with their sitters and sooo much more. It’s a handy little tool at your fingertips! All scheduling requests are confirmed during our regular business hours, which are 9AM-4PM, Monday through Friday.

Our office hours are from 9AM to 5PM, Monday thru Friday. During the work week we aim to respond to each message within a couple of hours. Any requests submitted after 4PM, Monday thru Friday, will be processed the next business day. We can be reached at 407-489-9418 or info@furbabieshomepetcare.com

Pet sitting starts at 7am. 365 days a year!

We understand that emergencies can happen – we are here to help you when you need it most, even at the last minute. However, we can’t guarantee a sitter is available and do not assume that we have received your last minute request until you have received a confirmation/invoice via e-mail. A $10 fee will apply to reservations made with less than 24 hour notice. Reservation requests that are submitted over a weekend for Monday service will be charged the Late Booking Fee.

Existing client messages are monitored throughout the weekend for emergencies only.

Since I understand what it’s like to have a busy and ever-changing schedule, I have implemented an extremely flexible cancelation policy:

• Mid Day Dog Walks (for those that use us on a weekly, continuous basis): 24 hours notice
• Pet Sitting and Kitty & Small Animal Care: 48 hours notice
• Overnight Care & Private Boarding: 7 days notice

We accept Visa, Master Card and Discover Card.

No, we do not accept checks. Payments can be made through your secured portal. Payment is due prior to the start of service. Clients may leave a cash gratuity for their sitters if they wish, 100% goes to their sitters.

Yes. Sitters are taking time away from their family and friends to care for their fuzzy-faced clients. There is a $5 Holiday Fee added to each visit. This fee goes directly to the sitter. We consider the following as our major holidays: New Years Day, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Christmas Eve Day, and New Years Eve.

We attend the Registration Meeting as a team of two, just in case someone may not be available. However, our sitter roster is chock-full of excellent pet care providers that would love to care for a client’s pet if their primary sitters are unavailable. Since we have all of the client’s pet care information in our secure database it’s really not necessary for the client to meet with an alternate sitter, however; if the client feels more comfortable with having a meeting with the alternate sitter, we are more than happy to schedule a “Pre-Departure Meeting.” The cost of this meeting is $15, which covers the sitter’s time and expense for driving over to the client’s home.

We will administer basic oral medications to willing cats and dogs during our visit while you are away. We will always discuss your pets medical history to ensure we are able to provide assistance when needed.

Of course! This is one of the best defining features of FurBabies Home Pet Care. We have state of the art software that is very user friendly for our clients to make updates when needed. We follow your instructions exactly to guarantee your peace of mind while away. If your pet needs anything special at all, simply let us know and we'll be sure to carry it out.

We are always in communication with our clients whether they are at work or play. If we suspect something is wrong/off with your fur baby we will bring it to your attention. If the client believes this is a reason for a vet visit then we will provide transportation and stay with the pet. In the event we cannot reach the client or the emergency contact, we will decide if the veterinarian should see your pet for treatment. You will be billed for any extra time we spend for these services.

We do not permit 'shared visits' with third party, be it a friend, or even a relative. It's not that we don't like your friends, but we are professionals and we take what we do very seriously. Someone else coming in at times when we aren't there compromises our ability to properly care for your pet. And if someone slips out the door, or something is broken or missing, the question of who is at fault comes to play. Simply put, these are risks we do not wish to take.

Well, in a nutshell, it chose me! After I left Blockbuster I spent years waddling around, not knowing where I was to fit. Fast forward, I found myself unemployed, caring for 2 separate neighbors’ pets when everything just kinda clicked - I just knew in my heart. I ran upstairs (we were living in the condo at the time) and started researching on the internet what I needed to do to start my own pet sitting company. A couple weeks later FurBabies Home Pet Care was born. It took me a few months to realize this was God’s plan all along. Each corporate management job I had, all my childhood experiences lead me to form FurBabies in 2015. To have a business that is thriving has been incredible. I’ve been able to give peace of mind to my clients and put some extra money in my sitters’ pockets.

Meet Your Outstanding FurBabies Sitters!

The only client keys that we keep are for those that use FurBabies on a continuous, weekly basis. Otherwise, the keys remain in control of the owner. I strongly believe in this and I think it is the safest option.

Many FurBabies clients like their pet care provider to use the front door keyless entry or garage door codes since their pets are used to them entering the home this way. We close the garage door before opening the main door to the house to be sure we don't have any escapees. A hidden key as backup is required to stay outside in case of a power outage (afterall we live in Florida). 

We have a few options for key exchange. My personal favorite is using a lockbox. It makes it so easy and is super safe! As I mentioned before, the key remains in control of the client.
If the lockbox isn't a good fit for them, they can also leave a key hidden in a predetermined location or schedule the key pick-up and drop-off service, which is $14 each way.

I sound like a broken record, but the greatest result is peace of mind. Our clients can travel, work or leave their homes for whatever reason, guilt-free because they know that their pets and their homes are in the best possible hands. Their pets are going to receive top-notch care; they’re going to be relaxed, comfortable, well exercised, and doted upon. Their houses are going to be safeguarded and kept tidy and neat. They are going to have happy and healthy pets to return home to. See what others have to say about FurBabies.

It’s been an amazing journey!! I’m excited for where we are going, for what we have done; the smiles we’ve put on the human faces, the wiggle butts we’ve seen, the purrs we’ve heard. Seeing how FurBabies Home Pet Care has grown since 2015 has been remarkable! I love it! I love every minute of it! 

When I worked at Blockbuster for all those years I said I have the best job ever, I talked ‘movies’ all day. Now, as the business owner of FurBabies I get to talk ‘pets’ all day AND I have the greatest clients anyone could ask for…pet lovers! You can’t beat it.
