Jessica Rhudy
Co-owner
Jessica, a native Texan, has a lifetime of experience with animals including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, fish, mice, goats, pigs, and cows. She grew up with pets and knew she always wanted to be able to make a living involving animals. She attended New Mexico State University where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Science and worked as a veterinary technician for 2 years. Her education continued as she earned her Master’s in Animal Science at Texas A&M University Kingsville where she cared for her own herd of goats and assisted with pigs and cattle on the school farm. She moved to the Houston area in 2009 and to Missouri City in 2012. In April 2014, Jessica and her husband, Addison, started Furry Friend Pet Care to provide exceptional pet care services to residents of Missouri City, Texas and Sienna Plantation.
Addison Rhudy
Co-owner
Addison, also a native Texan, grew up with pets such as dogs, birds, pocket pets and raised animals for FFA while in high school. He attended Texas A&M University Kingsville where he received his Bachelor’s degree in Wildlife Management and worked on wildlife science research projects. After graduation in 2009, Addison returned to the Houston area and moved to Missouri City in 2012 with his wife. A few months after moving to Sienna Plantation, they got a golden retriever named Fisher. They quickly realized he did not do well in boarding situations and found in-home pet sitting while they traveled to be the best option for Fisher. So in 2014 Furry Friend Pet Care was started to help other pets be at ease in their own home while pet owner’s are away.
