Patton is an English Bulldog. He's quite the character. Upon arrival he looks at you like he's mad until we pat our lap & call his name. He loves being petted while in your lap on the floor. He's very loving.

I had the joy of teaching this Doodle how to walk on the treadmill. It took lots of steps for this part to even happen. If you move too fast with training the dog can get scared, stressed, frustrated, confused or even shut down during training. As Theo gets more comfortable he will be able to run on the treadmill to get more of his energy out. Sooo proud of this pup. 🐶🐾 🫶
Sorry the quality of the video isn't that great & it's super short! I'm new at this whole video thing & I'm hoping to get better.

Look at this pretty girl! This is Copper, we have been spending a lot of time together. She loves her Churu treats & drinking out of the bathroom faucet. Her owner has been in the hospital since the end of November. We hope she gets well soon & we are thinking she will be home in time for Christmas 🎄🎁.

Let’s face it, pets can be smelly at times. 😵💫
Here are some ways to remove pet odor from the house!
1. Vinegar- Vinegar can be used on the hard floor, fabrics, added to your normal cleaning routine. It helps pull out tough stinky smells.
2. Air purifier- An air purifier pulls toxins and smells out of the air.
3. Baking soda- Baking soda can be sprinkled on the carpet and furniture then vacuumed up after sitting overnight. It helps neutralize odors.
4. Shaving cream- yes shaving cream! This has been a trendy cleaning product within the past year. Spray onto floors, litter boxes, pet cages allow to dry before washing off. It works deep into grooves, pours, and scratches. It sanitizes and deoderizes these areas.

We offer personalized in-home pet care and pet waste removal services. We provide the care they need in the comfort of their own home when you are away. We also administer medications and assist in basic home care.
Why in-home pet care? It offers your furry loved ones individual attention and walks. Dogs get anxiety when their “best friend” leaves. Keeping them in their own environment with the same sights, smells, and familiar sounds reduces anxiety.
Why have pet waste removed from your yard? It keeps your dog’s environment clean, maintains a clean and healthy lawn, minimizes germs brought into your home, eliminates one of your family’s most unpopular chores, keeps the stench at bay while also eliminating certain insects, and keeps your yard safe for children’s play time and family activities.
To tell you a little more about myself...My name is Michelle owner and founder of Fur Keepers Pet Sitting. I have lived in the Winston area for approx. 20 + yrs. My favorite season is fall, my all time favorite show is Grey's Anatomy. I enjoy helping others, traveling, going on cruises, the beach, movies, doing research, reading, wineries, hiking, listening to music, as well as spending time with friends and family. I'm an Orthodontic Certified Dental Assistant and have been in Dentistry since 2002. I've always felt like there was something missing in my life and have been striving for something more. I opened Fur Keepers Pet Sitting Aug 2018. Since then I have been so happy and fulfilled with both my jobs. I have a lifelong passion and love for animals. Since I was an only child growing up w/o any classmates living close by, my pet during those times was literally my best friend. Pets aren't my whole life...they make my life whole.
Kerry, my husband, has lived in the area his whole life except when he was in the Navy for approx 8yrs. He enjoys mostly everything I do except the research and reading part. His favorite TV shows are: The Ranch, Big Bang, and King of Queens. He enjoys neon signs and jukeboxes.
Hayley, my daughter, is in college to get a degree in Medical Administration/Medical Coding and Billing. She likes painting, baby sitting, playing with dogs, hiking, and listening to music. Her favorite TV shows are: The Bachelor, The Bachelorette, and Big Bang.
We are ALL insured and bonded. Hayley typically helps out by doing visits, no overnight stays. Kerry and I both do visits and overnight stays.
My husband and I now live in Advance with our 2 teenage daughters, and 3 fur kids Bentley
(Whippet/Terrier mix), Bella (Cockapoo), and the newest Sophie (Ratcha). All 3 rescues!! We all have lots of love for animals and love getting to meet new pups and forming a bond with them. Our house would be filled with animals if we had a bigger house with land.
I strive to provide the most reliable, yet affordable, and high quality pet sitting service. I promise to love and care for your animals and home with the same level of dedication I give my own family. When you choose Michelle's Fur Keepers for your pet sitting needs you can rest assured that your pet-as well as home-is/will be well taken care of.
Wanna know what’s happening?? I text, leave notes so that you feel completely secure that your pet and household are doing fine. Fur Keepers Pet Sitting provides service within a 15 mile radius from Lowes Foods in Advance (outside area-additional fee)
I'm bonded and insured for your protection as well as registered with the state.
