We're located in Big Lake, Minnesota, specifically Orrock Township. Our service area includes: Big Lake Monticello Orrock Township Zimmerman Princeton Elk River Becker Anoka Ramsey Rogers St. Michael Albertville Hanover Otsego Buffalo

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.

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. View our services for a full list of how we can help you and your pets.

Yes, we have a flexible cancellation policy because we understand that life happens. Daily Walks and Visits We request a minimum of 24 hours notice for cancellations for daily pet visits and walks. Vacation Visits and Overnight Stays We require a minimum of 72 hours notice for vacation and overnight pet care cancellations. Cancellation Fees Cancellations made within the specified timeframe will not incur any charges. Cancellations made with less notice than the required timeframe will be subject to a cancellation fee equivalent to 50% of the total booking cost. Emergency Situations We understand that emergencies happen. If you are in a sudden, unavoidable situation, please get in touch with us immediately. We will assess and handle the situation with the utmost understanding and flexibility. Rescheduling We encourage rescheduling whenever possible. If your plans change, please let us know, and we will do our best to accommodate your new schedule without additional charges.

Yes! While most pets do not require someone to sleep next to them all night, we understand the peace of mind it gives pet parents, especially for pets who have special needs. And we don't stop with "overnight" care. Our service is 24-hour care at one flat rate. We don't tack on charges for additional daytime care. Read more on our overnight services page.

No. Our prices are the same no matter how many pets you have and regardless of their care needs. We know what it's like to have multiple pets and to be charged excessive fees for each. If we come to your home to care for one pet, we will happily care for them all without penalizing you for being an animal lover. However, if your care needs exceed your visit's allotted time, we may charge an additional fee. Generally, this can be identified in our initial meet and greet.

At Oh, Fur Pet’s Sake, we believe in giving our pet sitters more than just a pat on the back – we’re all about rewarding them with a larger slice of the pie. Unlike the average pet sitting business, our sitters take home a very substantial portion of your payment. Why? Because their commitment and expertise deserve more than just a scratch behind the ears. Ensuring our pet sitters receive a living wage isn’t just about keeping tails wagging – it’s about recognizing their invaluable role in your pets’ lives. Happy, well-compensated pet sitters are motivated to provide top-notch care, guaranteeing your fur babies get the attention and love they deserve. When pet sitters are adequately rewarded, they’re likelier to stick around, creating a consistent and reliable relationship for both pets and owners. Additionally, our team of professional pet sitters isn’t just your run-of-the-mill bunch. They’re seasoned caregivers with a wealth of experience under their collars. From panicky pups to finicky felines, they’ve seen it all and know how to make your pets feel like royalty in your absence. So, when you choose Oh, Fur Pet’s Sake, you’re not only pampering your pets – you’re investing in pet sitters who pour their hearts and souls into their work and are rewarded for it in a way that sets them apart from the pack.

Yes. We are insured and bonded through Pet Sitters Associates, meaning you, your home, and your pets are protected. And all of our pet care specialists have passed an extensive background check. Additionally, we are a legal LLC registered with the state of Minnesota. What does all of that mean? We're a legitimate, tax-paying business. When you use our services, you have complete peace of mind knowing that we have the experience and framework behind us to care for your pets professionally. You can trust us.

We all see the posts on Facebook. Someone is asking for pet sitter recommendations. Before long, a dozen people are offering to help. Even when those people have the absolute best intentions, we've seen things go very wrong. Read our blog post about why hiring a professional sitter is the better option for your pets.
