Getting Started & Meet & Greet

How do I get started with Furriendly Critter Sitters?

Getting started takes two steps: sign up in Time to Pet, then schedule your free Meet & Greet. We come to your home anywhere in Titusville, Mims, or Northern Brevard County, meet your fur baby, walk through their routine, and answer every question before any service begins.

A Meet & Greet is a free, no-commitment visit to your home before any service starts, and we require it for every new client. We meet your pets, learn their routine, review any special needs, and make sure it’s a great fit — because your pet deserves a sitter who already knows them on day one. We don’t believe in showing up and winging it.
No — the Meet & Greet is completely free, with no obligation to book afterward.
Book as early as you can, especially around holidays, since those dates fill up fast — we recommend reserving holiday care 2 to 3 weeks ahead. For regular weekly service in Titusville or Mims, reach out anytime and we’ll get you on the schedule.
No — there’s never any pressure. Most clients book right then because it’s convenient, but you’re free to sign up, meet us, and decide when you’re ready.

“Get Started” is for brand-new clients and takes you to sign up and schedule your free Meet & Greet. “Book Here” is for existing clients who are already set up and just want to schedule visits.

Our Services

What services do you offer?

Furriendly Critter Sitters offers pet sitting and drop-in visits, dog walking, bedtime visits, overnight pet sitting, live-in care, house sitting, equine and farm animal care, private in-home dog training, and poop scooping throughout Northern Brevard County. If your fur baby needs it, chances are we do it.

We care for dogs, cats, small animals, birds, reptiles, and fish — plus farm animals including chickens, ducks, goats, donkeys, cows, and horses. If it lives on your property and you love it, chances are we’ll take care of it. Jen even has years of hands-on experience with exotics like sugar gliders.
A drop-in visit is a scheduled 30 or 60-minute visit where we care for your pet and head out; overnight care means a sitter stays in your home from 8 PM to 7 AM so your pet is never alone at night, with a daytime check-in included. Most Titusville and Mims clients choose drop-ins for daily routines and overnights for travel.

Yes — and it’s one of the things that sets us apart. We’re one of the only veteran-owned, certified pet care services in Northern Brevard County that handles horses, goats, chickens, and other farm animals with the same professionalism we bring to dogs and cats. Learn more about our equine & farm animal care.

Yes — Jen offers private in-home dog training using positive reinforcement (R+), with no punishment or fear-based methods. In-person sessions are available in Titusville and Mims, and video-call sessions are available everywhere else in Northern Brevard County.

Yes — oral medications, eye drops, ear drops, and other basic medications can be given during drop-in visits, overnight stays, or live-in care. Just walk us through the routine at your Meet & Greet so we’re fully prepared.

Yes — Jen has hands-on experience with senior pets, anxious and reactive animals, post-surgical pets, medication schedules, and exotics. As a Fear-Free certified team, we review every special-needs care plan thoroughly at the Meet & Greet so nothing catches anyone off guard.

For most pets, yes. Your fur baby stays in their own home with their own bed, toys, and routine — no kennel noise, no exposure to other animals’ illnesses, and no stressful adjustment period. Senior and anxious pets especially do much better at home.

Every visit is logged and ends with a detailed photo report sent right to your phone through Time to Pet, so you always know when we arrived, what we did, and how your fur baby is doing.

Comparing Your Options

Furriendly Critter Sitters vs. a pet sitting app like Rover — what's the difference? A:

With an app like Rover you get whoever is available, often a stranger with no local roots, no insurance you control, and no consistent training. With Furriendly Critter Sitters you get a local, fully insured, Fear-Free certified team that knows Titusville and Mims, follows your exact routine, and is handpicked and trained by Jen herself. Same fur baby, very different level of care.

A professional pet sitter gives you insurance, training, reliability, and a photo report after every visit — things a well-meaning friend usually can’t. Friends forget, get busy, or aren’t trained for medications or emergencies, while we show up when we say we will, every time. For peace of mind in Northern Brevard County, a certified sitter is worth it.

Even independent cats need daily eyes on them — a missed litter box, a tipped water bowl, or an early sign of illness can turn serious fast when no one’s checking. Our Northern Brevard County drop-in visits keep your cat safe, fed, and monitored in their own home rather than left to fend for themselves.

During Your Service

What happens during a drop-in visit?
During a drop-in we arrive at your home, take care of your fur baby’s number 1 and number 2, fill food and water, scoop the litter box if needed, do a quick home security check, and give your pet quality one-on-one time. Then a detailed photo report goes straight to your phone.
