About Us

Meet the Inspiration Behind Furry Friends Fitness

Max taught me loyalty.

Milo reminded me to find joy in every day.

Monty showed me the comfort found in quiet companionship.

Mason proved that even the smallest soul can leave the biggest paw print on your heart.

Furry Friends Fitness exists because of them, and their legacy lives on through every pet we have the privilege of caring for.

About Furry Friends Fitness

At Furry Friends Fitness, we believe every pet deserves to feel loved, safe, active, and cared for while their family is away. Our sitters will love on your pets like family!

This business was born from the love and loss of my four best friends—Max, Milo, Monty, and Mason. They weren't just pets; they were family. Their unconditional love inspired me to create a pet care experience that provides every family with the same compassion, trust, and peace of mind I always wanted for my own pets.

As a certified fitness and wellness professional, I combine expert care with enrichment, exercise, companionship, and personalized attention. Whether it's a neighborhood walk, playtime, or simply relaxing together, every visit is tailored to your pet's unique personality, needs, and routine.

Mission Statement:

Furry Friends Fitness is more than pet sitting. We provide dog walking and pet sitting with love, care, exercise, and play—always striving to leave every pet and pet parent better than we found them.

A Personal Note

Thank you for trusting me with one of the most important members of your family.

When you're away, I promise your pet will receive more than food, water, and potty breaks. They'll receive patience, affection, exercise, enrichment, and genuine love—because that's exactly what I would want for my own.

Welcome to the Furry Friends Fitness family. ❤️🐾

Keevan Hughes

Overnight Pet Sitter, Cat Cuddler & Dog Walker

Hi! My name is Keevan and I have always had a huge love for any and all animals. Pet care to me is all about building trust, having patience, and making sure your pet feels comfortable, safe and loved. When I'm not looking after your babies, I’m in a self-paced school to get my diploma and work at an animal hospital and rescue! My goal is to give your fur (or no fur) baby the best care possible so they can stay happy and healthy, which is exactly why I treat every pet with the same kindness and respect I’d want for my own. Taking care of someone's pet isn't just a task to me—it's a way to show that each life deserves to be treated with gentleness, love, and compassion—and a way to let you relax for a while!

Mason — The Slow-to-Trust Sweetheart

Mason came to us as a wild little stray kitten, the only survivor of her litter. She wanted nothing to do with people at first — but once she decided to trust me, that was it: she’d sleep curled up on my chest every night. Rub her belly and she’d grab on with all four paws. Mason lived to be 19 years old.

Milo — The Quiet Homebody

We adopted Milo, an American Pitbull Terrier, as a birthday gift for my daughter. Quiet by nature, he rarely barked, and at home with me, my daughter, and his fur siblings, he was completely laid-back. Other animals made him anxious, so travel and boarding were never his thing — but mealtime was another story, when the zoomies took over. Calm and devoted, Milo was a treasured part of our family for 15 years.

Max — The Persistent Charmer

Max wandered onto the school grounds where I taught, a scrappy brindle stray fighting off parvo that took his siblings. He pulled through, and made sure everyone around him fell in love with him along the way, nudging his nose under your hand until you gave in and pet him. Playful, affectionate, and impossible to resist, Max lived to be 16 years old, the last of our four to leave us, he was truly the heart and the start of Furry Friends Fitness.

Monty — The Gentle Giant

Monty was our youngest fur baby. He was a handsome orange tabby with a heart as big as his personality. He’d let anyone hold him. Monty was calm, and easygoing and such a love bug . He was with us until he was 13, when we lost him to cancer.
