New Client Onboarding

Fear Free Certified® Pet Care
Pet First Aid & CPR Trained
Serving Ballston, Clarendon & Rosslyn Since 2016

Starting with Pet Sitting 4 Comfort® (PS4C)?
Our onboarding process is simple, secure, and designed to keep things low-stress for both you and your pets.

Step 1: Submit the Contact Form

Tell us about your household and pet care needs.

 

We’ll ask for:

  • your name and contact information

  • your neighborhood (Ballston, Clarendon, or Rosslyn)

  • basic service needs and preferred dates

 

Please note:
New client inquiries must be submitted through the contact form. We do not accept service requests by phone, text, or social media.

Step 2: Receive Our Follow-Up Email

Within 24–48 business hours, you will receive:

  • confirmation of service area eligibility

  • a personalized quote

  • available meet-and-greet times

To secure your preferred appointment, please reply within 48 hours.

Step 3: In-Home Meet & Greet

(30–45 minutes)

This visit allows us to:

  • meet your pets in their home environment

  • review routines, medications, and care instructions

  • confirm home access and safety details

  • answer any questions

You’ll meet Steve, Hong, or a trained PS4C team member—never a contractor or app-based sitter.

Step 4: Activate Your Client Portal

Once your meet-and-greet is scheduled, you’ll receive a secure activation link for the Time To Pet client portal.

During setup, you will:

  • create your login

  • complete your pet and home profiles

  • electronically sign required documents

 

Required documents:

  • Service Agreement

  • Policies & Procedures Manual

  • Veterinary Release Form

  • Home Access Authorization

 

Accurate profiles help us provide safe, consistent care tailored to your pet.

Step 5: Request Visits

Once onboarding is complete, all services are requested through your client portal.

 

Booking guidelines:

  • weekday visits — 5–7 days in advance

  • holidays and peak periods — 2–4 weeks in advance

  • last-minute requests — based on availability
