NEW CLIENTS
Accepting new clients May 24, 2012


We're welcoming new clients for services May 24 and beyond. It's easy to get started -- just call us or fill out our Contact page. We'd be thrilled to serve as your pet care provider.

WHY OUR APPROACH IS DIFFERENT
We offer unequaled specialized and professional service. Our business is unique in three ways:


(1) EXPERIENCE: our pet professionals bring vast experience in animal care, behavior and medicines from their backgrounds as veterinary techs, animal control officers, and humane society shelter caregivers,

(2) NEIGHBORHOOD COMMITMENT: our pet professionals live in the neighborhoods they serve, and

(3) TRAINING: employees are trained in emergency and crisis management for all pets and trained in dog obedience commands used by Old Towne School for Dogs and other trainers.

UPCOMING HOLIDAYS - MONDAY, MAY 28
Dog walking clients take note:


Regular ongoing dog walks are suspended on Monday May 28, unless you make a holiday appointment in advance.

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY
Weekday Clients, Please Note:

Our daily visits for pet owners who are in town are cancelled when Alexandria City Public Schools or Fairfax County Public Schools announce full day closings in inclement weather.

Pet sitting appointments for pet owners who are out of town will occur as scheduled, regardless of school closings.

  • CLOSINGS: When schools announce morning closings for the whole day, no regular monthly or daily visits will occur for pet owners who are in town.
  • DELAYS: Delayed school openings do not impact our service schedule
  • EXCEPTIONS: Some clients have mission-critical jobs requiring you to be on-site at your workplace. In that event, please call our office before 10 am to confirm your usual visit(s), and one of our staff with four-wheel drive will attempt to come to your home for your pet appointment as soon as it is safe to do so.
  • MULTI-DAY CLOSINGS: As soon as road conditions are safe we may choose to return to business as usual, even when schools remain closed over a multi-day snow event.
