Family-Owned, Fear Free Certified® Pet Care in Arlington, VA

Committed to compassionate, personalized pet care since 2016.

Our Story

Founded in 2016, Pet Sitting 4 Comfort (PS4C) started as a passion project when Steve & Hong recognized the need for reliable, stress-free pet care in Arlington. As lifelong pet lovers, they knew that traditional pet sitting services often lacked the personal touch that pets and their owners deserved. With certifications in Fear Free handling, clinical background, and behavior training, they set out to create a family-run business that prioritizes quality care over volume. Today, PS4C remains dedicated to offering expert-level, stress-free pet care in Ballston, Clarendon, and Rosslyn.
