Our dog had been going there for a few months now after previously using central bark for daycare. We absolutely love Katie and Scout always comes home exhausted. She treats him like he’s her own and it absolutely shows every time we drop off and pickup.

Katie makes Rufus feel welcome when we drop him off, which means a lot to us. She also shares photos and videos, and it’s so fun (and reassuring) to see him having such a great time while he’s there.
Rufus is so well cared for, and he always comes home happy and worn out (which says a lot!). Highly recommend Fur Babies to anyone looking for a reliable, caring place for their dog.
