I have used Good Fur U for both training and pet sitting services. I found Lisa to be incredibly knowledgeable and reliable. She was patient and understanding of my pets needs. I highly recommend her services.

Used Good Fur U (Lisa) to train my 2-year old German Shepherd Dog. Amazing. She was communicative and explained everything to me to help me work with my dog.

Thank you Alex. Shylo has been a perfect student! I enjoyed working with your family on teaching Shy "polite greetings". We look forward to pet sitting for Shylo next month!

I have used Lisa to walk my dogs during the past few months. They are so tired after their walks, it's fantastic. She has been a god send. Also an added bonus the dogs are much more polite on their walks and no longer pull. Lisa is a trainer as well so she's taught my girls some great manners.

Thanks Jeff! It has been my pleasure to walk the girls! Thank you for choosing Good Fur U we hope to continue to exceed your expectations!

I have used Good Fur U for various services now- training help and petsitting (including my bunny!). I can not say enough good things about the services they provide. They're professional but super personalized to our needs, positive, and so, so caring! If I can not be with my pets, I want them to be with someone who treats them like family, and they absolutely do! From my youngest, rambunctious dog, to my senior citizen, they knew exactly how to handle them all. I'm one of those crazy, overbearing dog moms, and even I feel completely at ease when my babies are in the care of Good Fur U!

Lisa is very knowledgeable when it comes to pets, specially dogs. I was very nervous going on vacation leaving my blind pet. She knew how to handle my pet with special needs and I felt confident that she will be able take good care of my pet while I'm away. She even sends pictures and updates for each visit. I would highly recommend her.

Often times we can be flexible (within reason) to our clients' needs. Each client offers a unique situation, and the pet industry is by no means a cookie cutter industry!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Each new client relationship starts with a meet and greet. As I pet owner, I wouldn't trust my animals with just anybody; I fully expect others to share my philosophy. At our meeting we would discuss the detail of you and your pets needs. Interested in pet sitting or dog walking services and on a tight schedule? We can arrange for a phone meeting* to discuss your needs and expectations of our service. (*Phone meeting does not apply for training services as we need to visually evaluate the needs of your dog so that we may recommend the appropriate training syllabus)
