Mickey & Friends Dog Walks and Playdates LLC - Fairfax, VA
I am the small business owner of Mickey & Friends Dog Walks and Playdates LLC which is licensed and insured with the state of Virginia and named after my 6 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Mickey. I've been a full-time pet care provider since December 2015. I've since provided walking services, drop in visits, doggy daycare, and overnight boarding for over 200 dogs from puppies to seniors, over a dozen cats and even a bird! I require meet and greets for all first time clients but after that can accommodate last minute requests usually. This is my full-time job and passion. You love your pets like family, I love them like best friends.

COVID-19 Extra Precautions Taken:
• Honest/Open Communication: As always clear two-sided communication will be essential. Should you or anyone in your household develop a fever or cold or flu symptoms let me know. Please let me know if you or someone in your household has been exposed to someone with COVID-19. Please tell me if you or someone in your household has done any traveling within the past 2 weeks either foreign or domestically. During these instances, I may have to temporarily withhold providing services until it is no longer a safety concern. These requests will all be upheld by myself too. I will never, knowingly, jeopardize your health for my business gain and I will be responsible and maintain healthy practices on and off duty.
• Doorside Pickup is a unique option if you will be working from home and prefer a no contact service. I will notify you when I’m close by and you can leash your dog up and I can grab them without having to go into your home.
• I will always wear a face mask and give 6 ft. distance in the presence of other humans.
• I will use hand sanitizer each time before entering your home.
• If you would like me to take off my shoes before entering your home I will.

• If you would like me to disinfect all surfaces touched during my appointment time in your home I will as long as you provide the cleaning tools.

An in-home pet sitter visits the pet parent's residence to care for animals while their family is at work, traveling, or otherwise unavailable. Care is arranged around each pet's routine, household, and individual needs. Services offered by Natassia Eaton may include:
Feeding and Fresh Water: Providing meals, fresh water, and feeding according to your instructions.
Walks and Exercise: Taking dogs for walks, bathroom breaks, and appropriate physical activity when included in the service.
Companionship and Playtime: Spending time with pets through attention, interaction, and familiar activities.
Medication and Special Care: Following agreed-upon medication instructions or special care routines when the sitter has the appropriate experience and is comfortable providing them.

🌙 Drop-In Visits, Extended Visits, and Overnight Pet Sitting
In-home pet sitting can be arranged in different ways depending on your pet's needs and the sitter's availability.
Drop-In Pet Sitting: Scheduled visits to feed pets, provide bathroom breaks, refresh water, clean litter boxes, and offer companionship. Visit length and frequency are arranged with the sitter.

🐾 Which Pets Can Receive In-Home Pet Sitting?

Depending on Natassia Eaton 's experience and listed services, care may be available for puppies, senior pets, multiple-pet households, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, fish, reptiles, or other small animals. Review the professional's profile and confirm that they are comfortable caring for your particular type of pet before booking.
🩺 In-Home Pet Sitting for Special Care Needs
Some pets have established routines or additional care requirements that make consistency especially important. An in-home sitter may be able to help with senior pet routines, special diets, mobility limitations, or medication schedules when those services are within the sitter's experience.
Before arranging care, discuss your pet's specific needs with Natassia . Explain feeding instructions, medication details, mobility concerns, behavioral considerations, and any other information the sitter should know. Confirm which tasks the sitter is able to perform and provide written instructions for the care period.

Care Instructions: Write down feeding amounts, schedules, walking routines, medication instructions, and household rules.
