​

Our approach is very simple. For the time that we are with your dog or cat, they are our very own FurKid. We work hard to do everything you would do if you were able to be home for a walk or a snuggle with them. And as FurKid parents ourselves, we know that an email after our visit makes your day! We also know that it is important to you that we follow your own personal “parental approach” during our time with them, and that is exactly what we do. We have had many of the clients you will see on these pages since they were puppies or kittens. And we pride ourselves on taking very special care of both young and gray muzzled FurKids.

 

As you will soon see, our team is made up of amazing people who understand that we do not take care of pets. We take care of, love on and provide fun for FurKids. And we can’t wait to meet yours soon!

​

In order to provide service to more clients in the New York area, The FurKid Company has partnered with Swifto for all of our operations moving forward.

When business or other plans take you away from the city, what could be more comforting than knowing that your pets are being loved and cared for in their own comfy home? In home boarding is far easier on your pet, and sticking to a solid routine lets them relax while their favorite person is away. And as I am sure you know, nothing is as comforting as your own bed- and your dog agrees!

​

During an in home boarding session, we offer text messages to update you on all the fun we are having, so that you can remain worry free while you are away. We can also provide overnight care for not only your dog, but any other critters who need attention until you return.  Overnight boarding includes evening and morning 20 minute walks and feeding, administering of any necessary medications, and the comfort of knowing that your pet is comfy and home. Most dog parents would add additional midday walks as needed.

Our Services
Cat Kids

CAT KIDS

Cats of course need just as much love as dogs do! So when business or pleasure takes you away from home, we are here to help. We have over 70 cat kid clients and we are always excited to add more to our growing family. We understand that all cats are different and while some can’t get enough lap time, others need a quiet visitor who will keep things clean and tidy while you are away. We offer specialized care including administering medications, feeding, brushing, litter changing, fresh water, play time and of course plenty of loving attention. You will also get at the start and end of each visit, as well as a photo and summary so you never have to worry about how things are going back home. We offer 20 minute, 30 minutes and hour long visits seven days a week and on holidays. There is a $7 additional charge if you have more than one kitty who needs attention while you are away. Please see our rates page for our pricing guide and our contact page to get started!

Client Portal/App

Client Portal & Mobile App

The only thing better than top notch care for your FurKid is a client portal and phone app to make it all nice and easy! Our client portal can be accessed on your phone or desktop. And our phone app streamlines it all to a more phone friendly tool when you are on the move. ​This software is brought to you by our friend at Swifto and allows our clients to add and update information for their pets, request, cancel or change services and even update payment methods or review invoices. This is also where you will be able to track the dog walks in real time, and will receive notes and pictures after our time with your kiddo. To make things even easier, you can use the links below to add the free phone app today!

FAQ

FAQ

How many dogs do you walk at one time?

For the benefit of all involved, we only provide private walks or walk dogs from the same household together. Your dog’s safety are at the heart of everything we do! 

What happens if I have to cancel a walk or visit ?

​

Things change! And we understand when they do. There is no charge for services cancelled more than 24 hours before the scheduled walk or visit. Cancellations less than 24 hours before the appointment will be charged in full. We often have clients trying to add last minute walks, and with a little notice they are able to take advantage of an appointment you no longer need. This policy is in place to protect our team members who rely on their regular clients to make a living doing what they love. Without enough notice, we aren't able to add additional appointments to their day to fill the spot we had reserved for your FurKid.

Is there a fee for requesting a walk the day-of?

​

There are no fees for adding a last minute walk or visit! As long as we have a team member available for your FurKid, we can add any service at our regular rate. The sooner you know that you need extra help, the easier it is for us to reserve an appointment for you. With our partners at Swifto we can guarantee that as long as we have 5 business hours notice, we would be able to find a dog walker in time. 

Are you bonded and insured?

​

Absolutely! Each of our team members is fully bonded and insured.

How do I pay?

​

We accept credit card payments through our online billing system. You will receive your first invoice via email and with just a few clicks you can pay for your services online. Your payments and charges are always available to you for your records in your Client Portal and you can change your payment method as often as you like for total flexibility!

Do you take dogs to the dog park?

​

We love the dog park! But it may not always be the best fit for every FurKid. Some dogs do better on long walks around their neighborhood than they do off leash in the park. Together we can decide what is best for your pup’s daily break.
