After moving to San Diego in 2017, I started using Fur The Love of Your Pet to take care of my two cats anytime I travel, and I’ve had a wonderful experience. I’ve had both Maria and Linda cat-sit for me, and both of my cats know and love both of them. It’s such a relief to know when you’re away from home that your pets are safe. I always receive a notification of the sitter’s GPS location when they arrive at my house and at least a couple of cute photos of my cats, along with a message with any notes or questions. Maria also offers nail cutting services and did a great job with ours on her last visit. Highly, highly recommend this business for your pet-sitting needs!

I am so thankful for the services of Fur the Love of your Pet. They were there for my kitty and my family when I really needed them. Maria and Alicia are so helpful and loving. The care that my cat received was so kind, my pet did not even want to leave! She loved it at Alicia's home. Again, many thanks and if anyone needs worry free pet sitting, this place is the best!

Maria is fabulous! She’s reliable and always makes sure to send us updates on our sweet baby girl, complete with reports and funny pictures. I appreciate her updates and her attention to details like how many times my pup goes to the bathroom and how often she eats. She makes sure our pup receives lots of love and attention and it makes all the difference in the world to us. I recommend her services.

Fur the love of your pet is just wonderful! Maria (and Linda too) have been taking care of our sweet puppy during the work day a few times a week. They provide midday visits for Bodie to play and potty. They are prompt, provide pictures and updates of how Bodie is doing, and genuinely care about the wellbeing of our boy, which is priceless. Additionally, Maria is always an excellent communicator. I highly recommend Fur the love of your pet for all of your pet needs!

Maria is a lifesaver! Not only is she extremely trustworthy (which is hard to find and huge for us) she’s very responsive and we can tell that she really takes great care of our pet. Maria sends photo updates which puts our minds at ease, we highly recommend her and her services. Thank you, Maria!

My dog looks forward to walks and overnights with Maria! I can relax and know he’s well taken care of. It’s the next best thing to doing it yourself !

How do i start by saying Maria is great. I've never had a dog walker before and was looking for a great one. I downloaded wag, rover and ultimately found Maria on yelp. She first came over and met my dog and she was great off the back. My dog instantly loved her. I set up an appointment and she came over right on time and sent picture of my dog. She let me know how the walk went and at the end send a check list of what my dog did. Example, pee , poop. She makes sure she has plenty of water and gives her treats as I asked her too. Recently it was my dogs birthday and out of the kindness of her heart she brought my dog a treat. I honestly don't know what else anyone would look for in a dog walker than charismatic, loving , and super friendly. I highly recommend you chose her as your dog walker!!

When we discovered Fur the Love Of Your Pet it came from staff in our long time vet’s office. What a find! For the last 2 years Maria, whose soul is deeply entangled with her furry friends, has reliably fed, played with, and handled other well-being duties as needed by our kitties. She was invaluable when taking on end-of-life maintenance fluids and medications for our 18 yr old cat while we needed to be out of town. She has kept up in her formal training as a vet tech. Each visit is documented real time over her cell phone to us showing a gps map with her current location, a brief description of our kitty’s health along with a photo, and the time checking into the house and leaving the house. She has good communication skills, good attention to the cat’s needs, and a real love for her furry charges. Do not hesitate to trust your pet to Maria!

The best of the best! I don’t trust anyone else with watching over my fur babies while I am away. Maria is communicative, knowledgeable and trustworthy. She takes away the stress and anxiety of leaving home/pets!

Maria and Linda do a great job taking care of my cat when I’m out of town. They genuinely love animals and it shows. Unlike other companies I have used, I feel totally comfortable leaving my cat in their care!

Maria is a very dedicated pet sitter. She is prompt and lets me know what she has done. My favorite part is the photos I get each day of my kitties. I feel very secure leaving my pets in her care.

Maria has been watching my cat Madeline for about 2 years now and it’s been a godsend! I never have to worry because I know my cat is in the best care. Madeline loves Maria! She even took extra time on a non scheduled day to double check on Madeline and leave me keys since I was getting home late. I couldn’t recommend her and fur the love of your pet more!

Maria and team have been caring for my pup for about two years now, and it's given me ease of being away from home during the work day for so many hours. She always notifies me when she's onsite and how things went while she was there, and her communication is very reliable. I also appreciate that she's bonded, certified, and insured as it gives me peace of mind to know there are reliable people in my home taking care of things when I'm not there. My dog also super appreciates the treats, belly rubs, and attention she gets!

Maria has been marvelous with my boy Codee. I wouldn't be able to concentrate at work without having her! She is a truly caring, knowledgable person when it comes to our dog, always going above and beyond, noticing anything that might be wrong with him, and always making sure he is happy and cared for. She runs things very responsibly, sending her location when she arrives and I always get a cute pic which makes me smile and lets me know my guy is ok. He absolutely loves her visits, which is the best review of all!

Fur The Love has been my first choice for pet-sitting since they first cared for my cats over five years ago. During that time, they have never let me down—rain or shine, in sickness or health—and they always work hard to accommodate my schedule. Maria has earned the trust of both me and my skittish cats (one with a health issue), and I feel like she cares about their well-being as much as I do, so I always have total peace of mind whenever I need to travel.

Maria took great care of our Yorkie at her home while we out of town for the weekend. She was so accommodating, flexible, knowledgeable, and caring. She provided updates with photos and video. Our Yorkie seemed to be very happy to be there! I highly recommend Fur The Love of Your Pet!

Our family LOVES Maria & Fur the Love of Your Pet!! She has been taking care of our fur babies for almost 4 years now and she is part of the family. Our dogs adore her, and run to greet her every time she comes to the door, which is a definite sign to me that she is good to them!. She is loving with them and very responsible with our one baby who has allergies and needs special supplements and care. I trust her completely with my kiddos & would recommend her to any friends or family!

Maria, the owner of this business was the first person to get back to me and meet with me. I have 2 dogs-one was abused from a shelter (Elaine) the other one is blind and a little quirky. (Zoe) Elaine responded fabulously to Maria and CeCe-a testament to their gentle nature...Zoe, who will never walk with anyone except me, allowed either of them to take her out-both very impressive feats. I have gone out of town several times and used this service and there is no better feeling than knowing your dogs are well taken care of and in good hands. I, 100% trust this business and recommend them wholeheartedly. Elaine and Zoe truly love their dog handlers...which makes me feel wonderful.

I've been hiring Maria for pet sitting of my two kitties for about a year now. She is wonderful with my kitties and they love her! Maria has pet sat for me while on extended trips, Most recently though, she swooped in and saved the day while I had a medical emergency and was hospitalized. I was out of kitty litter and on my way to buy more when I had to go to the ER. I contacted Maria from the hospital and she was able to pick up litter and feed my cats. I don't know what I would have done without her! I've also boarded my cats before I found Fur The Love of Your Pet. Its definitely reassuring to know that my cats can stay in the comfort of our home and are in good hands with Maria. She is reliable, shows up at agreed upon times, and always sends a photo or video at each visit. Maria is someone that you can trust and rely on. Her love of pets is unmatched.

Maria cleaned my two dogs teeth in record time, no problems. They were accepting and tolerated her loving care. She will be back in six months to continue their dental health. Bless her!

Have been using Maria for about 4-5 years now so this review is long overdue. Maria does a great job looking after our kitties every time we go out of town. She is flexible and easy going and most importantly an animal lover. I could tell the minute I met her. I have been pleased each time I use her. Her services also include: picking up the mail, watering plants, food water play time with your pet, leaving daily notes, and she even texts us pic updates! Leaving my kitties for a long time is hard enough, but knowing they are in good hands with Maria means the world to us! You won't go wrong with her.

Maria comes over to walk our 140 pound bull mastiff, Oliver. She texts me when she arrives, and will share a picture of her and Oliver out on their walk. Always courteous, always professional, always concerned about Oliver's health and well being, Maria is the only dog walking service I would ever use.

My friend and I call Maria the pet whisperer. She's great with dogs and cats and is really responsive, which I love. She always texts us pictures of our cats when we're away and does a great write up when we get home. It's reassuring to know our pets are in good hands when we are away!

I travel quite a bit for work and have three cats and relatively new to San Diego and did a Yelp search and found Fur The Luv of Your Pets which had great reviews. Maria also had exceptional reviews as well as credentials which was a great start. She scheduled an appointment in advance if my first trip to meet my babies in person. Our initial meeting was amazing as all three of them instantly walked up to her to say hello; this typically does not happen. She has a gentle, kind way with animals and she and I built great rapport from our first meeting. In addition, Maria is very knowledgeable and provides helpful recommendations and she keeps me informed of how Mason, Malloy and Blue are doing. Maria will send me a pic of them; which reassures me and I have complete trust and confidence they are in good hands. If you are looking for a credentialed, qualified professional with a natural gift of taking exceptional care of animals, Fur The Love of Your Pet is the company to use and Maria is an absolute pleasure to work with.
