You Can Depend On Us

You can rest easy knowing your pets will be well looked after, receiving all the love, belly rubs, and attention they deserve. Our dependable group of professionals works hard to deliver the best in dog sitting services in the Lorton and Springfield communities.

Whether you need dog walking, a pet sitter, in-home dog boarding, or cat sitting, we’re the right company for you. We strive to deliver the most reliable pet care services for our clients by remembering the love and standard of care we give to our own pets.

Instead of booking pet boarding in our homes, schedule someone to visit your home a couple of times a day to walk your dog and check on your pets. We handle everything from feeding, petting, walking, and snuggling while you are out of town. If you have a puppy or a geriatric dog, you don’t have to worry about a thing. We tailor our services depending on the needs of you and your pets.

You’ll be pleased to know that we also give oral medication, insulin injections, or other medicines, we will administer them at the requested times during our visit to your home. Also while visiting your home, we will water your plants, bring in the mail, or rotate lights if you would like us to provide these services.

For those days when you need a non-emergency taxi service for pets that need to be taken to the groomer or veterinarian visit. These visits must be scheduled in advance.

Additional Details: 

We only take small-medium dogs for boarding (up to 35 lbs.).
