Clifton, VA Cat Sitting Services

You want to get away; you need a vacation but Mr. Whiskers may be in trouble if you leave! Or maybe your day is too busy and you don’t have much time to be at home with him and give him the care he needs. What to do?! That’s where we come in. At Paw Pals with our signature Clifton, VA Cat Sitting Services, we take away the worry and stress you may have about someone caring for your cats when you’re away. We make sure your cat stays happy and healthy all day and beyond.

Cat sitter visiting cat during Clifton, VA cat sitting servicesWe know that cats are independent by nature, but as a pet, your cat still needs proper care and loving attention to stay strong, healthy, and happy. If you’re going out of town for a while, you may be uncomfortable facing the only two options you already know; boarding your cat where they wind up in an uncomfortable environment with less quality care, or turning your cat over to someone else. But you shouldn’t be unaware about our Paw Pals Clifton, VA Cat Sitting Services. We are the #1 service for you to make sure your cat is comfortable, happy, and excited to see you when you return. Our cat sitters are very experienced and cat loving, so they know how to care for your cat and give it the best love and attention it deserves. They know how to care for all different types and breeds of cats, as many of them are cat owners themselves. Our job is to make your cat feel its best and be given the best care, and to make you worry free about your cat when you are at work or away.

Paw Pals is a licensed, bonded, and insured company, and our Clifton, VA Cat-Sitters are 100% certified by Pet Tech in Pet CPR and First Aid. We provide both regular vacation visits and overnight cat & house sitting. We can pair our services with our House Sitting and Garden Watering service. This gives you not only assurance that your cat is cared for, but also your home and yard.

Additional Services For Clifton, VA

Cat Supply Pick-up

We can shop at your preferred specialty store or the nearest pet supply store to pick-up any of the food, supplies, or litter, etc, a cat owner needs and is unable or unavailable to do. Whether someone is just too busy or is out of town, Paw Pals cat sitters and cat sitters can get all of the supplies your cat(s) need to stay cute.

Note: We will shop at a nearby pet supply store. If a particular specialty store is requested, depending on the distance, additional costs may be incurred.

Cost: $20 plus amount of receipt

Cat Medication Administration

Your Paw Pals Pet Sitter has training to administer cat medications. In most cases, cats will take the medication with a little coaxing, or willingly, and administering medication in food or treats would not require an additional charge when feeding your cat(s). However, medications including subcutaneous fluids and injections such as insulin require additional expertise, and an add-on fee.

Cost:

  • Topical – $0
  • Oral in food – $0
  • Oral without food – $5
  • Injections – $10
  • Subcutaneous Fluids – $25

House Sitting / Garden Watering

No cats, but you still need your house taken care of while you are away? We can visit your home once
or twice a day to take care of the minor household tasks that you would usually do. Your home is made
more secure by crime-deterring measures taken by your cat sitter, including:

  • Bringing in papers, mail, and packages
  • Watering house plants
  • Feeding fish and refilling bird feeders
  • Opening/Closing blinds
  • Alternating lights
  • Taking out/Bringing in trash and recycling

Cost: $20 per day/per visit

Garden Watering
Garden watering can be added onto either House Sitting or Cat Sitting visits.

Cost: $8.00 for each 15 minutes

Clifton, VA Cat Sitting Policies

Paw Pals has policies and procedures in place for certain situations which include:

Safety First!

First and foremost, our professional cat sitters put safety first. We do our absolute best to make sure there is nothing that could go wrong during any of our visits. Each of our cat sitters and pet sitters is certified in PetTech PetSaver First Aid and CPR and must recertify every two years in order to keep up with the best safety practices which could save the life of a pet in an emergency. Each of Paw Pals cat sitters and pet sitters is truly an animal lover, and that is how we can always provide the care and attention your cat(s) crave during the day.

New Client Setup / Meet & Greet

Before someone becomes one of our cat sitting or pet sitting clients, we require an initial “Meet & Greet” at your home to make introductions with you and each of your pets. We’ll take this time to discuss the needs of you and your pets and to determine a pet’s temperament and behavior and analyze whether a cat is an acceptable candidate for our cat sitting or pet sitting services. Once this has occurred, we can talk about a pet’s normal routine as we fill out all of our required paperwork and inform new clients on our policies and procedures.

We also use this as an opportunity for you to show us your pet’s routine, and for us to complete all the paperwork and go over our policies and procedures. However, you are under no obligation to obtain services as a result of this visit, and we reserve the right to refuse service if a pet is not a good candidate for our services.

Cost: $25.00 (This fee will be waived if Paw Pals determines that your pet(s) will not be a good
candidate for our services.)

Note: For existing clients, who add a new pet to their family and wish for their pet sitter to meet them and the pet before services begin, there will be a $15.00 visit fee.

Late Bookings

We understand that not everything happens as planned and will do our best to accommodate last minute requests. These requests are not guaranteed and are subject to sitter availability. Please note that requests made after business hours will be considered as having been received the next business day.

    • Existing clients: Requests made with less than 2 business days’ notice will incur a $10.00/visit surcharge. Same day requests will incur an additional $25/visit last minute booking charge. (If the request is for a series of visits, the surcharges will apply only to the visits within the late booking period, not all the visits in the series.)
  • New clients: All new clients must have an initial Meet & Greet completed before any visits or services can be confirmed. Please see New Client Setup/Meet & Greet section above.

Inclement Weather

For days when there is severe inclement weather, a $20.00 fee may apply. This policy is most often associated with a federal government shutdown or if Fairfax County Schools are closed.

I wasn't sure about hiring a new doggie walker service... after all they are our kiddos... my babies were in great hands and I felt relaxed having them in their care. Thank you for everything!

When we adopted our new dog in January, Paw Pals agreed to walk her and give her some outside time so she wasn't in the crate all day. She loved her dog walker and you could see her excitement every time the walker showed up. We moved out of the area but would recommend Paw Pals to anyone needing someone to care for their pets.

We have used Paw pals pet sitting on multiple occasions for our bunnies while we are away. Many pet sitters are not interested in small pets however; Mary and her team, are amazing and we trust her implicitly! We are very happy with the outstanding service we have received from her team including texts and photos of our pets when we are out of town. They always go the extra mile and we highly recommend them!

We have been using Paw Pals for several years, and through a variety of pets that we have loved. Mary and her team have always been *exceptional* in every way. They are professional, courteous, and truly love our fur family! Mary herself is an organized and stellar administrator of her pet care business, keeping detailed records of our pet’s needs, scheduled pet visits, payments, and balance due easy to keep track of as the pet owner. The pet caretaking team is reliable and trustworthy. When our dogs see any of their Paw Pal friends, they get SO excited to see them! Follow up comments are left via text to keep the pet owner informed of the visit and how the pets are faring. Paw Pals has allowed our family the peace of mind to leave our pets at home, for work, weekend getaways and longer times away when necessary, where they are the most comfortable and familiar. We are grateful to Mary and her team for giving us the ability to enjoy pet ownership without feeling tied down. The responsibility of having pets comes with the need to keep them safe and comfortable at all times, and Mary and her team affords us this when our family has to be away.
