Looking for peace of mind while you’re away? Pet Sitting 4 Comfort® (PS4C) serves Ballston, Clarendon, and Rosslyn with Fear Free Certified®, award-winning pet care. Pairing our visits with a pet camera keeps you connected and your pets safe.


Real-Time Reassurance

Check in anytime to see your dog resting or your cat exploring for instant peace of mind.


Extra Safety for Special Needs & Senior Pets

Pet cameras help catch changes quickly so we can respond right away:

  • Medically fragile pets: coughing, limping, or breathing changes

  • Behavioral challenges: pacing, barking, destructive activity

  • Senior pets: mobility issues or unusual inactivity


Your alerts help us adjust visits and provide timely, safety-first care.


Stay Connected Without Adding Stress

Two-way audio and treat dispensers can be helpful if used thoughtfully.


Do:

  • Check in periodically for reassurance

  • Share alerts if something looks urgent

  • Use two-way audio sparingly


Avoid:

  • Watching constantly, which can raise anxiety

  • Excessive talking through the microphone

  • Interrupting naps or playtime


Our Camera Policy

We follow clear guidelines for privacy and safety:

  • Full Disclosure Required: List all indoor cameras in pet care areas in your Time To Pet profile

  • Respect for Privacy: Bedrooms, bathrooms, or private spaces are entered only with written authorization

  • Professional Conduct: Our team remains professional in every visit, whether cameras are present or not


This policy protects your home, your pets, and our sitters while maintaining transparency and accountability.
