In-home pet sitting and dog walking by certified pet care specialists in Arlington, Virginia

Finding reliable, experienced pet care in Arlington isn’t just about availability — it’s about trust, consistency, and knowing your pet’s unique needs are truly understood.


At Pet Sitting 4 Comfort® (PS4C), local families choose us because we provide calm, hands-on, personalized care for pets who need more than basic drop-ins — from puppies and kittens to senior, medical, and behavior-sensitive pets.

Below is what sets PS4C apart for families in Ballston, Clarendon, and Rosslyn.


Local, Certified, and Personally Involved

PS4C is a family-owned, Arlington-based pet care company, not a gig app or rotating sitter service. Every visit is handled by trained, certified pet care professionals who follow consistent care standards.


Because we work within a focused service area, we’re able to stay reliable, punctual, and deeply familiar with the neighborhoods and buildings we serve.


One-on-One Visits — Never Rotated or Outsourced

Your pet is never passed between unfamiliar sitters.


PS4C provides one-on-one, non-outsourced visits, ensuring:

  • Familiar faces at each visit

  • Reduced stress for anxious or sensitive pets

  • Consistent routines and handling methods


This approach is especially important for senior pets, reactive dogs, cats who dislike strangers, and pets recovering from medical procedures.


Experienced With Specialized Care Needs

Many Arlington families turn to PS4C because their pets require extra care, patience, or experience, including:

  • Puppies and kittens needing structured routines

  • Senior pets with mobility or cognitive changes

  • Post-operative recovery care

  • Pets undergoing chemotherapy or with weakened immune systems

  • Reactive, fearful, or behavior-sensitive pets


We focus on calm handling, observation, and clear communication — always working within client instructions and veterinary guidance.


Real-Time Updates Through a Secure Client Portal

Pet parents receive detailed visit reports, photos, and updates after each visit through our secure client portal.


This allows you to:

  • Stay informed while at work or traveling

  • See how your pet is eating, moving, and behaving

  • Feel confident knowing care was completed as planned


Clear communication is a core part of quality pet care — not an add-on.


Trusted by Local Pet Parents

PS4C has earned 5-star reviews from Arlington pet parents who value reliability, transparency, and thoughtful care.


Many of our clients have been with us for years and trust us with daily walks, extended travel care, and complex pet needs — a responsibility we don’t take lightly.


Hands-On Guidance for At-Home Care

When appropriate, we also offer hands-on guidance to help pet parents safely administer vet-prescribed medications or treatments at home.


This support helps families feel more confident continuing care routines between visits or after medical procedures.


Serving Ballston, Clarendon & Rosslyn

PS4C proudly serves Arlington neighborhoods including:

  • 22203 — Ballston / Virginia Square

  • 22201 — Clarendon / Courthouse

  • 22209 — Rosslyn


By limiting our service area, we maintain consistent availability and dependable scheduling for the families who rely on us.
