A Life Shaped by Love and Devotion to Animals

I started Furs For Us in 2007 after being downsized from corporate America, turning a difficult moment into an opportunity to follow my lifelong passion for animals. Growing up, my deep connection with my childhood dog Queenie taught me the sensitivity and awareness animals have, and those early experiences still guide the way I care for pets today. Over the years, I have welcomed stray cats and dogs into my home, offering them safety and love until they found families of their own. My care is rooted in compassion, trust, and the belief that animals are truly hearts wrapped in fur coats. Whether it’s a nervous pet needing calm or a routine visit to maintain comfort and security, I bring the same level of respect, attentiveness, and heartfelt care to every home I enter.

Care That Teaches, Support That Lasts

As an Educational Pet Sitter, I offer more than routine visits—I bring a commitment to helping pet owners understand their animals better. While I care for pets in their own homes, I also pay close attention to their behavior, environment, and needs. If I notice something that could improve a pet’s comfort, health, or daily life, I take the time to share that insight with the owner in a respectful and supportive way. I believe pet care is not just about feeding and walking—it’s about understanding the full picture of an animal’s life and well-being. This approach allows me to provide care that extends beyond the visit, giving pet owners practical knowledge they can use every day. It’s this combination of hands-on care and thoughtful guidance that truly defines the way I work.

TESTIMONIALS

DS
Debra Silon

I have the most amazing pet sitter! Jean is 100 percent reliable, trustworthy, very versed in many areas of pet care and kind to boot.

Jeans first priority are for the pets who are entrusted in her care ( care and safety first).

When away Jean keeps me updated by texting when she arrives and leaves my home. Also,she surprises me with a picture or two of my girls. She's never missed a day

My girls are calm,not stressed and go to Jean. As most of us know, shelter pets are traumatized because of what they have endured along the way, sometimes hesitant to trust. This is not the case with Jean. They are relaxed,eat well and are at ease.

I have peace of mind when away knowing should a situation arise Jean can handle the situation at hand

Upon return it's like I never left! Girls are either sound asleep or relaxed in their favorite spots. The house is as I left it, my fish, plants and flowers are alive and well.

I truly can't say enough! I highly recommend Jean. In My book she is 100 plus percent. A lady who goes above and beyond!.

Jean Furs has been taking care of our kitties when we're on vacation for many years. My husband and I trust her with our fur babies. She keeps us informed with texts and pictures every day that we are away. She is a very caring and conscientious person. She is very knowledgeable on how to properly take care of our kitties. Before we go away, she goes over any medications, feeding instructions, etc. we have for her and she writes it all down in a notebook that is kept on the kitchen counter. She makes sure that she has a phone number that she can reach us at if a problem arises. My husband and I highly recommend, Jean.

I have used Jean’s services for many years. As I spend a few months in Florida each winter, it is reassuring to have Jean to check on my home weekly. She is trustworthy and dependable.

I would recommend her to anyone with pet or home sitting needs.
