COVID-19

​

We are excited to announce Pet Sitting 4 Comfort (PS4C) team is immunized against COVID-19 and look forward to caring for our client's lovable pets again. At the same time, continue to enact our enhanced safety protocol used during the pandemic.
We are primarily accepting new clients in the Arlington, VA, area.

​

We take the safety and wellbeing of humans and pets very seriously. We've been closely monitoring the developing situation in the D.M.V. area, staying current with recommended safety practices, and have pursued training to enhance its services. This includes achieving two COVID-19-specific certificates:

 

• Pet Sitters International’s COVID-19 Certification for Pet Sitters and Dog Walkers 

• FetchFind’s COVID-19 Reopening and Safety Guidelines Course, which is endorsed by the National Association for Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS) and the International Boarding & Pet Services Association (IBPSA).

​

Clients who decide to engage the services of Pet Sitting 4 Comfort do so with full knowledge of the risks linked to in-home pet care, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, which is currently improving with Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson vaccines available to the public for free. 

 

COVID-19 PROTOCOLS FOR PET SITTING 4 COMFORT AND ITS CLIENTS:

Before agreeing to provide services, clients must notify Pet Sitting 4 Comfort when any housekeepers or other parties will be present and to schedule such services so that both parties can avoid being inside the home at the same time.
