Part of the pack: Members share their stories

From being able to travel with true peace of mind to the incredible pets, people, and places you’ll encounter along the way, there are many reasons why pet lovers choose to join FurPetVo. In fact, you only need to ask members of our caring community—and you’ll likely hear hundreds of heartfelt reasons why they love being part of the FurPetVo pack.

To find out more, we spoke with several happy members who joined during Black Friday (and won themselves an extra year of membership in the process). Here’s how they’re planning to make the most of their time in the FurPetVo community—and what being part of this global network means to them.

Evgeniia, Russia — Sitter Member

Evgeniia won her FurPetVo membership after entering our 10 Years of FurPetVo competition on Instagram. Here’s how she plans to use it:

“This is perhaps the best gift during a difficult year for all, when many plans and many sits were cancelled. With big hopes that borders will be reopened soon, we are looking forward to meeting new fur friends in different parts of our planet. This win for us is another year of incredible opportunities to explore the wonderful world with great companions.”

Corey and Dawn, United States — Owner Members

Corey and Dawn love being part of the FurPetVo community—and can’t wait to enjoy a whole extra year of knowing their pets are safe and happy at home whenever they visit family:

“We are really enjoying the community vibe on the site. It has great information for both owners and sitters. We are excited to share our location and pets with FurPetVo. Our children and grandchildren all live out of state and country; having peace of mind while traveling to see them is priceless.”

Devorah and Richard, Australia — Sitter Members

New to house and pet sitting, Devorah and Richard are eager to explore new places while making a meaningful difference in the lives of pets and people:

“We are so excited about winning an extra year of membership with FurPetVo! We are just starting out with our house and pet sitting adventure and we plan to visit as many places as we can. Our dream is to house and pet sit overseas once possible—and this extra year of membership will help us do that.”

Kat and Dan, New Zealand — Renewing Members

Kat and Dan renewed their membership over Black Friday and are looking forward to reconnecting with local furry friends:

“We haven’t been able to use FurPetVo much this past year but decided to renew, in the hope we can use our membership more next year. We used FurPetVo a lot on our van trip around Europe and the UK and made so many furry friends along the way—it was the perfect way for us to travel. We were also working remotely at the time, so it was awesome to have a comfortable base where we could get some work done. We’d really like to use the platform more locally around New Zealand, as there are so many amazing places to see in our own backyard—and so many more furry friends to meet!”

Nicole and Giselle, South Korea — Sitter Members

For cousins Nicole and Giselle, the greatest joy comes from helping pet owners travel with confidence:

“The biggest joy of using FurPetVo for me is the amazing people I have met—and providing them with peace of mind while looking after their pets. I am so happy I get to do this a bit longer :) Thank you FurPetVo.”

Mary, Greece — Sitter Member

For Mary, winning an extra year of membership was a bright spot in a challenging year:

“My win was wonderful news in an otherwise not very wonderful year—for everyone—and I’ll look forward to making the most of it when the world gets back to normal again and we can all travel freely.”

Alexandra, United Kingdom — Owner Member

For Alexandra, knowing her beloved Nelly stays safe and happy in their North London home—no matter where life takes her—is truly priceless:

“I’m delighted to have won and will continue to use FurPetVo when I travel abroad (for longer periods of time now, due to quarantine regulations) to ensure my little Nelly is comfortable, happy, and looked after!”
