PUPPYKINS PET SITTING - PET SITTING IN NORTHERN VIRGINIA.
DOG WALKING AVAILABLE ALSO.
As a small child I fell in love with animals. I've been crazy about them my entire life. My children's friends used to say that I was like a female Dr. Doolittle. After years of working in the corporate world, I finally decided to do what I really love. I spend my time with animals, both my own and those that belong to others.
​
People love their pets. There's no doubt about this. So, I decided to start a company that would provide the pets with the same level of love and care that they would get from their owners. Our team is all family. There's myself, Julie. I'm mom to 2 great young people that happen to be the rest of our team. There's Charlotte, a former veterinary receptionist and assistant. She's been doing pet sitting occasionally for the past 10 years. And there's Corey, who both loves animals and loves to walk, so he's combining the two. We always meet with both owners and pets prior to caring for them to make sure that everyone's comfortable with each other. It's much less stressful on your pet to be cared for by someone they know, rather than a total stranger.
I know that people worry about their pets getting exercise and day time potty breaks while they are at work. We can help. We do daily dog walking, and each appointment is split up so that they get exercise, feeding & watering if needed, and play time & snuggle time. Sometimes you want to take a vacation, but then realize you can't take the dog. We do overnight care and typically stay with your pet round the clock the entire time you are gone. The only time we leave is quick runs to the grocery store and to get together for some quick family time. If you have cats, small birds, hamsters, etc. that only need a once a day visit we do that too.
Our entire focus is your pets, and we want you to be able to go away, not worry about them, and come home to happy well loved animals. Of course you're always welcome to call or text to check on them while you're away. Upon your return, you'll receive a report card on how your pet or pets did while you were gone. We even will water your plants and bring in your mail for no extra charge unlike some other companies. So book your pet's next appointment now, because Winter vacation slots are quickly filling up.
About us
Julie is the perfect "Aunty" for our dogs. She does more than just care for our dogs, she cares about our dogs - which I loved. She even kept notes - like the best daycares do. I would strongly recommend Julie for your pets, especially if you're nervous about them being lonely. She's the best.

Julie is an excellent sitter. I loved the daily text messages with the details on how my cat was doing. I appreciate that she saw my cat every day to make sure that she was okay, even if she had to hunt all over the house for her. I highly recommend her as a sitter. She cares.
