Fur Nanny Professional Pet And House Sitters Although our owners have been in the animal field or pet sitting for many years Fur Nanny was officially began in December of 2007. It all began when my mother retired from nursing and decided that she wanted to do something else that she loved. So she approached me Emily with her idea.
Services
Fur Nanny is a small family-owned company. Our owner has been in the animal field and pet sitting for many years. Fur Nanny was born in December of 2007, when Emily returned to Sarasota after graduating from college in New York. Fur Nanny is based on our love and passion for animals and wanting to see them thrive even when their owners have to travel.
If it is outside of business hours please feel free to Drop Us A Line or text us at (941) 315-1156. Please understand our response time maybe longer than normal outside of business hours as we are taking care of our personal pets.
Daily walks are geared towards people who work a set schedule and need to have a sitter take their pup for a romp or a potty at a set time one or more days per week. These service are for the owner who is traveling. From a day to a month we will provide visits based on the length of time you wish the sitter to interact with your pets and the number of pets in your household. A kitty visit includes scooping litter pans (up to 3), feeding, fresh water, administration of medications if needed, and visual check-over.
Fur Nanny is currently serving the greater Sarasota and Manatee county areas including Sarasota, Siesta Key, Osprey, Lakewood Ranch and East Bradenton. If we are not currently servicing your area, we will be more than happy to try and help you find a sitter convenient to your location.
Emily was born and raised in Sarasota. She lived briefly in New York where she completed her Bachelors Degree in Biology at SUNY Stonybrook. She also has minors in Marine Science and Political Science. Emily is partial to large breeds, as she is the owner of Rabbit, a pointer mix, Daisy the FBD, Stoli the pig, Bonnee and Klyde the Sphinx Cats, and some chickens.

We have used Fur Nanny for many years and have always had a great experience. The pet sitters are friendly, very dependable, and give our cats all the love and attention they need. We love the daily updates each visit along with the beautiful pictures of our animals that they include. We know we can always count on Fur Nanny to take great care of our pets whenever we are away. Very glad to have found them!

We were very happy with the service provided: professional, efficient, followed instructions perfectly, and kept us informed of everything they did each day. Will definitely use regularly.

I could truly relax and enjoy my trip, especially from getting detailed daily reports and photos of my happy cat. This service is top notch. I highly recommend this service with confidence!

Used the service for the first time when we needed to travel for a long weekend. A kennel is stressful for our older dog - much easier for him to stay in his home environment. Everything was handled as instructed and with each visit we received an email report. Most importantly we came home to a happy dog - no stress!

Emily and her team are professional and kind. It was such a relief to know our 3 dogs, cat and home were safe and in great hands while we were away. Highly highly recommend!

The best! They are punctual, responsible, caring, trustworthy and responsive. They do a great job and many times go above what is expected of them! The animals are happy and well cared for and I do not worry about them while I'm away. Emily and her team updates you via an app and sends a quick message letting you know what's been taken care of during each daily visit. Seriously, they are A+!

Emily was so great with our dogs (and my grouchy mom!). I can recommend her highly and will call her whenever we travel. I have complete trust in her and her care for my pets.one of whom can be very testy. She is the best!

Have been using Fur Nanny for many years. I have 2 dogs and 4 cats and my pets are always well cared for, including 2 with medical needs. They love Pattie, even my kitty who doesn't love anyone else! I highly recommend.

Two simple words come to mind caring and accommodating. We were recommended to Fur Nanny via the assisted living my mother is living for her Shih Tzu, Jake. I contacted Emily after my mother had a medical emergency and Jake needed to be taken care of. Within hours of being hired Jake was being walked, loved, and feed. The walkers left detailed notes on who walked him and when and if he ate his food and if he was given treats.

He then needed to be boarded. Pattie and her pups opened their doggy door to him and he became a part of the pack and I was given text updates and pictures. We started using Fur Nanny in June of 2106 and have used their services numerous times (a few times last minute) for both walking and boarding and highly recommend them to anyone who wishes their furbaby to get the love and care they deserve.

We love Fur Nanny, our dog is truly our daughters dog and they are really bonded. My daughter never wants to leave her with anyone but feels safe leaving her with Pattie at Fur Nanny because she know she will get the loved like she does at home.

The best pet sitters in Sarasota! Emily and pattie are the best. They collect my mail, water my plants, take out the trash, etc. I have a cat who needs insulin shots every day. No problem. Pattie was a vet tech for years. I've also boarded my dogs at Pattie's house. They absolutely love it there. She has three amazing dogs of her own and they have the best time. Sometimes it's hard to get them to leave. A fenced in yard. These guys do it all regardless of breed or needs. Amazing service.

My pet sitter, Emily, is fabulous! I feel better leaving my cats at home when I know she will be caring for them. The cats get so much care they are completely relaxed when I get home.
