You stated on Next door you also do mobile grooming?
Edited - we no longer provide full mobile grooming services. But we do offer mobile nail trimming and grinding. The rest of our grooming bathing and deshedding is done in a climate controlled garage at my house. We do not offer breed specific cuts or shaves

I have used FurBabies and Friends several times now and they are amazing! I feel extremely comfortable leaving our elderly cat in the care of Kristie and her team and you can tell they really love animals. Initially I was a little unsure having several different sitters for the 30 minute in-home visits each day because it was different from what I was used to but it has worked out great. We never worry about someone not showing up and Madden loves them all! I especially appreciate the communication between the whole group before and after each visit with lots of pictures. I have to give a shout out to Shellaine and Maddie who helped Madden celebrate his 16th birthday last year by helping him open his gift and then singing “Happy Birthday” to him. The video they sent was priceless!

We found this company while trying to find somewhere to board our cats but wanted something better and safer. The drop-in cat-sitting is great because we are able to keep our cats at home to prevent any stress or exposure to other animals, and the prices are very reasonable!! We love that with each visit we get a text and photo summary. Kristie and the team make the process so easy: we had an initial visit to go over details of our cat’s care, sign paperwork, ask questions, and now we never have to worry about who will take care of them while we’re away. So pleased with their service and ease of communication!

Kristie was amazing. We adopted two pups within a month of each other, both of which had spent the majority of their young lives in a shelter or on their own and lacked socialization. We signed up for some in home sessions and group basic training. The change in my dogs from our first session to the last is almost like night and day. We started off having to stand far away from the group and by graduation our pups were walking with the group and following commands with other dogs around. Kristie was a constant cheerleader and support, reminding us that the road wasn’t a straight line and to keep consistent and celebrate the small victories. Kristie is full of invaluable resources and always has recommendations and suggestions to support your furbabies. Our pups still need some work but our home is a lot happier and less stressful thanks to Kristie.

I have been using FurBabies & Friends for boarding and training for several years now, and I wouldn’t trust my precious dog Rosie with anyone else! Kristie genuinely loves and cares for my dog like she is her own. She is highly knowledgeable and attentive, and I never feel anxious for a second when leaving Rosie under her care because I know she will be safe and attended to 24/7. I call her home “doggy Disneyland” because Rosie always has a blast and never wants to leave. She has been so dependable and gives me immense peace of mind knowing my dog is in responsible and attentive hands.
Kristie also has helped Rosie come out of her shell from being a scared little rescue pup to a more confident girl who will play well with other dogs. Kristie utilizes positive reinforcement techniques to instill positive behaviors, which was a breath of fresh air when other trainers I tried before insisted that Rosie would need a shock collar to learn to behave. Her methods are kind but firm and have helped to transform my dog.
If you are in need of a trainer or boarder for your fur baby I cannot recommend Kristie and the rest of the FurBabies team enough!!!
