Pet sitting in the Mclean, VA area - McLean, VA

Member since Sep 2020

When you are out of town for business or vacation, we offer pet sitting visits for dogs, cats, chickens, exotics, and small animals. You can trust our experienced and well-trained sitters to provide quality care with a personal touch. Aside from providing loving care for your pet, we include care and security for your home at no additional charge.

For dogs, we provide three visits a day (breakfast 7-9 AM, afternoon 2-4 PM, and late night 8-10 PM). If your dog needs to go out more often (senior and young dogs) we recommend four visits a day (breakfast 7-9 AM, late night 8-10 PM, and two other daytime visits of your choosing). We require a minimum of 3 visits a day for a family with dogs, except on the first and last day of travel. If you prefer a pet sitter to spend the night with your pets in your house, we also offer dinner with sleepover and we leave the following day after breakfast. This service is called overnight care.

For cats, we offer daily or every other day visits. Cat sitting visits can be booked as anytime, morning, afternoon or evening. For new cat sitting clients, we require every day sitting for their first time service with us. If you need a more specific time block for visits due to health reasons (diabetes), please ask. Our cat visits are for a minimum of 30 minutes, no exceptions. For extra time, ask for a 45-minute visit. For 4+ cat households, the minimum visit time is 45 minutes.

From chickens to hamsters, you can count on our team to provide your small animals the care they need when you're away. We'll customize our schedule and services to suit your needs.
