We had a wonderful time housesitting for Lee. He gave us all the info we needed about the house and the dogs routine. Kali and Pillo are two adorable dogs and easy to to take care. The apartment is in a quiet area with a beautiful view of the hills. Having a car available to go to San Felipe center was very usefull. The town center is a short car ride and there's a great vegetable market, shops and a supermarket. It was nice to walk the dogs up the hill with a beautiful view during sunset. We just prefered to keep them on the leash most of the time because there was a little bit of tension with other dogs. We were happy to have their company during these time and we really recommend the sit!
We want to thank Jo and Andrew because they made us feel very comfortable. The communication was excellent and they left us the house super clean. They were super relaxed and loving, they have given us all the comforts of their home. The neighborhood is very quiet, and Henry, Poppy, and Cody have been wonderful. Hopefully we can come back one day! Thank you!
Housesitting for Lori was fantastic. Wally and Luna took a bit to warm up to me, however once they did there was plenty of kitty love. Also, the nightly game of “hunting” tossed treats brought some pretty fun antics. Lori’s clean and neat home is comfortable and set in a quite neighborhood. Note the parks nearby if you enjoy walking and being outdoors. If you want some inside time the public library is a half mile down the street—as is Trader Joe’s, a movie theater, bookstore, coffee shop, and more. If you don’t have a car no worries. Public transportation is close by either direction. If you do—there’s a parking spot in the garage. Sweet for Boston exploring. And what made this the most doable was easy communication— even when Lori was in a different hemisphere. I highly recommend coming to Brookline and hanging with Wally and Luna.
This was my first time sitting through THS, and Jennifer and her three kitties made this such a wonderful experience! Jennifer is welcoming, generous, and appreciative. She clearly wanted me to feel comfortable and enjoy my stay in her home. I found that it was very easy to communicate with her prior, during and even after my stay. She gave me all the necessary information, i.e. the kitties' special feeding system and behavior tips, tour of the house, etc. to make this experience a success. Her kitties were so (too) easy to get attached to. The beautiful Willa knows what she wants and when she wants it. She is the most confident and was very friendly from the start. She is also the senior chief inspector of all things and likes to know what is going on in her household. The boys Sumi and Obi were more shy but patience and gentleness proved to be very rewarding. Sumi is one of the loudest “purrers” I have ever encountered. He is the least shy of the two brothers but still gets scared by loud noises or unexpected movements. He’ll be the first one waiting to go on the porch, the first one wanting to be brushed, and the first one jumping on whatever you throw at him, especially “crunchy-crunchies”. Obi, the gentle soul, has wonderful big eyes that make you want to pick him up and never let him go. But Obi does everything on his own terms. You’ll know that he likes you but will let you pet him only when he has decided you can do so. Living in Jennifer’s historical home felt like I had gone back in time when life was much simpler and quieter. One of the few clues of modern life was the excellent internet connection, which allowed me to remotely work without any issues. I found her home to be peaceful and very comfortable in every way. The surroundings were astonishing especially with the fall colours. I would, without hesitation, pet sit for Jennifer again! Thank you Jennifer for trusting me with your home and kitties. I’m taking with me wonderful memories!
Nadine and Ray were very nice and welcomed me as part of the family, they even invited me to stay 2 extra days so we shared some meals and time together and I really appreciated their hospitality. Flossie is a beautiful cat, and I enjoyed being able to take care of her and gain her affection! :) Hard to say goodbye so soon! There is a lovely little pond with fish to feed, and we can also feed the wild birds. The garden is just beautiful, and having a meal overlooking it is very relaxing and wonderful. Watering the garden and flowers is also a relaxing experience. I had the opportunity to collect fresh vegetables and fruit directly from the garden, so it was a healthy experience too! :) Everything was very nice, I highly recommend to any other petsitters, and look forward to taking care of Flossie again someday when dates fit!
I took over from the mum all straight forward. Koda was adorable and well behaved. The house was amazing and free parking. Would ❤️ to return local buses on street outside takes you into Clacton. Would recommend. Thank you.

Anybody who owns a pet knows how hard it can be finding a place or reliable person to leave your beloved pet with when it comes down to going away on vacation . I struggled for a long time to find the perfect place for my Dog Rocco until I came across Jenny in Home away from home pet services in my searches through the internet. I contacted Jenny via phone call we spoke and quickly arranged a meet and greet and right away she gave me a comforting vibe and I knew Rocco would be in safe hands . I received picture updates while on vacation of Rocco and other dogs on walks and I just knew he was having a fun time as well. I’m so glad I came across Jenny . I couldn’t be more happy and I will definitely be using her services again when I go on vacation as well as her day care services as he seemed to have a lot of fun being exposed to different dogs . Thank you so much !!!! Don’t hesitate to contact Jenny for your pup it truly lives up to its name Home away from Home .
Being a first time fur mom can be quite scary, having to leave your pup "my baby" with a total stranger can be just as uneasy.... However after my very first encounter with Jenny via phone conversation, she gave me such reassurance that not only I will be great at this, but my "Parker" will be in the best of hands!! Jenny's personality, her professionalism, and how she loves all the pups, not only speaks volumes of her overall well-being and great characteristics, but she's the epitome of "Selflessness and Genuine Love" I was a little nervous about Parker being away while we we're on a mini vacation, but the photos that Jenny sent us, showed us how happy Parks were. I can't thank Jenny enough for how she loves on Parker, the continued support and assistance she offers me while I'm still navigating this new journey, and how readily and accessible she is to me. If your looking for your pup to be in a loving environment, receiving nothing but the best of care, and come back home a happy camper...Look no further, JENNY IS IT!!! Thank you Jenny❤ Parker will be back at his second home in a few weeks🤗
I have left my dog twice with Jenny and it’s always been a pleasant pickup/drop off. Very convenient for the location and price
Jenny was an absolute pleasure to work with! I had to leave my pup with her for a long weekend and I felt so comfortable, and my dog was SO happy! Her place is like a cozy little dog sanctuary so I definitely felt like I was leaving him somewhere he'd feel comfortable and at home. She sent me pictures and updates throughout the day which I loved, and always kept me in the loop. She even cooks her own organic food and treats, and sent us home with a sample to try out. 10/10 would absolutely recommend for all of your pet needs, would care and love your dog like her own!
I have been using Home Away From Home Pet Services since I relocated to New Jersey 3 years ago and I couldn't have found a better sitter for my cocker spaniel Max. Not only is Jenny professional she exuberates love and compassion for the animals in her care. I trust her completely with my pet and I often refer others to receive the same quality of care for their pet.
Jeny's home was just what I was looking for. I have an older dog that gets very anxious so it was important for me that I found something that was as close to a home as possible. I didn't even have time to bathe my dog before I dropped him off and he came back super shiny. I'm looking forward to using the services again.
Best dog sitter I have ever had! I am from Canada and used this service for my youngest pup while travelling. I wish they were closer. Will certainly get them again anytime I am in the NJ/NYC area. Very fast at responding to messages, very polite and kind, incredibly reasonable price, and my little boy seemed so happy when I picked him up!
Jenny is lovely, kind, caring, responsive, reliable, professional...can't say enough good things about her. She took great care of our dog Teddy during regular walks and during boarding when we were away. She also takes adorable photos!! She also took great care of our cat (drop in feeding and medicating) when we were away. We trust her completely.
Finding someone to trust your baby with can be a nerve wracking experience. So much can potentially go wrong. And has a few times for me with others. But I knew I’d finally found the right person when I found Jenny. She’s a pro 100%. I knew she was someone I could leave the keys to my home with (literally and figuratively). She’s a great communicator. She’s thorough. She’s thoughtful. She takes initiative. She’s experienced. She’s fair and She’s kind. I will use Jenny for as long as I have a dog in my life and as long as she’s willing to care for them. I could not recommend her enough. Finding the right person for this particular job is priceless.
I cannot say enough AMAZING things about Jenny!! She has taken care of my pets for me for the last 3 years with such care and compassion. My dogs know the second we turn onto her street and start freaking out because they are so excited to see her. They hate leaving!! I have a hectic unknown schedule because I am in the airline industry and she always seems to make it work to care for my dogs last minute. She is responsive, reliable, and her prices are very reasonable!! (As if there is really a price too high to know your fur babies are being loved on every second you can’t lol) She also is an amazing photographer and takes the best photos of your babies for you while you’re away. 10/10 recommend Jenny’s services to anyone in the NJ area. I tried so many unreliable Wag dog sitters until I came across Jenny and I will never go back. Thanks J for all you do for Gnash and Bindi!!!
They really are the Furry Best! Our dog, Daffy, absolutely loves Adrian which is obviously the most important thing when considering a pet care service. However, the advantages are endless: photos every time he goes out which never fail to make us smile (I've shared some here that Adrian has taken for us). Rapid responses and amazing short timeframe flexibility for when we're in the in the city but want to make sure Daffy is walked and taken care of. The extra effort to provide Daffy with variety, not just to the same place or the same route every day. Adrian really knows Daffy as an individual dog and for us the knowledge that we have a reliable, confident and caring individual to help with Daffy is priceless.
I’ve been on the search for a reliable dog walking company and this is it! They’re the best for my fur-babies. I’ve tried other dog walking services but doesn’t compare to the furry best pet care. Marisa and Drayton are amazing and go above and beyond for our dogs. We had an incident where one of our dogs needed a last minute bath and they were able to squeeze us in. Once I got home my pup was nicely groomed and smelled so good! I can totally trust them with our dogs and know they’ll be in the absolute best care. I’m so happy a service like this is available in my building!
The Furry Best is an awesome service! Drayton is super responsive and flexible with last minute walks. He is great with dogs and knows how to pair your dog with others so they get some much needed play time. All walks are tracked and you receive lots of pictures and feedback when the walk is finished. I highly recommend The Furry Best!
I had the best experience with Furry Best pet care this past weekend! They took incredible care of our cat Charlotte while we were away on vacation. Their in-house boarding services are very helpful and convenient as they will visit your pet and take of them in the comfort of their home. They took such incredible detailed care of our girl - making sure to feed, play and spend time with her (our cat is a more social cat who demands a lot more attention/time/play). It was so great having Marisa + Drayton care so much for her and enjoy time with her. The updates and messages from the online portal are amazing because you receive photos as well as reports on how your pet is doing.HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone who is looking for trustworthy and caring people to watch after your furbabies. Five stars! :)
The furry best pet care is amazing! We got our puppy at 8 weeks, and with both of us working full time we needed someone to feed and play with him during the day. From the start they have accommodated our puppy’s needs by combining services and providing excellent care. We love getting the walk summaries, and our pup absolutely loves the team… They’ve also helped with training our puppy. Not only do they work one-on-one with him, but guided us on how to continue and progress the training. We learned so much from the first session alone! I don’t know what we would do without the Furry Best team! Highly recommended for anyone with a pup needing extra company or training.
I highly recommend furry best pet care ! We have been using their dog walking services from past few months...My dog always does a happy dance whenever Adrian comes or he sees him from far :) The dog walking services with furry best care is prompt, reliable, trustworthy and we always get all updates on the walk status. I haven’t used boarding services yet but will definitely plan to use it on our next trip !
Honestly the best dog walking service out there! Adrien is SO GREAT with our dog Mica... every time she sees him (even when we see him out and about with other dogs) she gets so excited! It’s like she’s got a new best friend. It’s so rare to find someone who will care for your dog like it’s there own but best furry pet care really goes that extra mile. I often have to schedule last minute walks and never has there been an issue with availability or communication. I know Mica is always safe and cared for in their hands. Also, the rates are more than fair for the exceptional service and care your pet receives. I’ve also found that Mica’s walks and play time with other pups have made her more socialized and well behaved around other animals and that’s all thanks to Best Furry Pet Care and Adrien. You’d be crazy not to try them out!
All I can say is we're very grateful for Furry Best. Natalia is more than what we could ask for as a dog walker. She comes every noon to get Sparky, then they walk around the block, and even before she leaves our house, Natalia will give Sparky a hug, belly rubs him and assures that he's loved even for a short time. We're professionals who work long hours and having Furry Best, especially Natalia, visit Sparky and potty him is what we needed. She's a huge help and we just can't thank her enough for catering Sparky. If you need a dog walker, I definitely recommend furry best! They're amazing and the communication is never in question. They will answer when you message them, Natalia always does. She updates us about their walks, leaves food for Sparky and water to make sure he's good for the day while waiting for us. Furry best, thank you! Natalia, you're amazing! Thank you thank you thank you!!
The Furry Best Pet Care is truly the furry best. It's really easy to schedule an appointment and the dog walk recaps are super helpful to see where they went and if they "went". Dray and Marisa are great with the dogs and treat them like their own. Highly recommended.
The team watching and caring for my pups is thoughtful, understanding and caring. I would recommend any of there services to anyone considering The Furry Best Pet Care. They have been consistent and when emergencies have come up, I was impressed by there professionalism and compassion. My pups are an extension of my family and I would allow The Furry Best Pet Care to watch over my family (pups) without hesitation!
Melissa is the absolute BEST thing that ever happened to Miles and me. Miles is a German Shepherd rescue who suffered from severe anxiety issues. I had been to several behavioralist, tried different doggie days cares but nothing helped so I thought I would try Jersey Dogs as a last resort. This month marks our one year anniversary with Jersey Dogs and I couldn’t be happier with Melissa and her partner Josh. Miles started going two days a week and just after two weeks I could see a huge improvement in his demeanor. He now goes 5 days a week! I never thought I would be able to take him on hikes with me without a leash but thanks to Melissa his recall is fantastic and we enjoy our time together outside and off leash!!! He is just a happy dog now through and through thanks to Melissa. Happy dog, happy dog mom for sure. 😁😍😁
