-
How big is your business?We started as a small, two-person operation. But have since added additional pet professionals to help us keep up with ever-increasing demand. When you join the Oh, Fur Pet's Sake pack, you'll meet with one or two of our pet specialists to ensure we're all a good fit. That specialist will be assigned based on where you're located, the services you're interested in, and which team member has availability. The person you initially meet will be your primary sitter. If you meet with a second sitter, they will serve as your backup care provider. We will never have someone you and your pets have not met enter your home unless it's an emergency. The sitter/pet bond is unique and needs to be fostered and protected. That's why we always strive to have at most two care providers for each home.
-
Do you provide pet care at your home?No. We don't provide care at our homes. We provide pet care at the pet's own home, where they are most secure and comfortable. Our overarching mission is to always adhere to the pet's routine. By changing as little as possible in your pet's environment, they stay happy and calm when you cannot be with them. Our professional pet sitters are dedicated to providing personalized care and attention to your furry friends in the convenience of their familiar surroundings. This ensures that your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. View our services for a complete list of how we can help you and your pets.
