How to Choose a Pet Sitter (and why Pawsitivity Pet Services is the Perfect Choice!)

By: Natalie Pons, Office Manager at Pawsitivity Pet Services

Leaving your beloved pet in someone else's care can be stressful. Whether you’re going on vacation, a business trip, or just need some help with daily walks while you are at the office (or even working from home), finding a reliable and trustworthy pet sitter is crucial. At Pawsitivity Pet Services, we understand that stress, and we’re dedicated to providing exceptional care for your furry, feathery, or scaly friends! Here’s how we make choosing a pet sitter easy and worry-free.

Define your Pet’s Needs - And Let Us Help!

We know every pet is unique. That’s why we take the time to understand your pet’s specific needs. Do they require medication, a special diet, or have any health concerns? Are they shy, social, anxious or reactive? What are their daily routines? We cater to all species and breeds, ensuring your pet receives personalized care. Our wide range of services, including but not limited to: almost overnight care, drop in visits, dog walking, pet taxi services, and adventure walks, are designed to fit your lifestyle.

Our detailed pet care app ensures that all your pet’s needs and routines are meticulously recorded, leaving no room for error. At the end of every visit, your pet care specialist will send you a journal detailing all the fun they had and the care they provided. The journal is complete with photos of your pet as well as your locked up home for peace of mind. Furthermore, the app GPS tracks the visit so you can be assured the pet care specialist has arrived safely and you can see the walking route they take (if a walking service)!

Why Pawsitivity Pet Services Stands Out

We are a team of passionate pet lovers dedicated to providing the highest quality care for our neighbors pets in Leesburg and Lansdowne! We’ve proudly been awarded Best of Loudoun in 2022, 2023, and 2024 and are honored to be nominated again in 2025. This recognition reflects our commitment to excellence and trust our clients place in us. All our pet care specialists undergo in-person and online training, including ongoing education including pet first aid and CPR, giving you peace of mind while your pet is in our care.

We believe in building strong relationships with our clients and their pets. That’s why the owner, Kaitlyn, personally conducts a meet & greet prior to onboarding any new client. This allows her to gather detailed information about your pet’s care requirements and get to know you and your furry friend. We understand that trust is paramount. If you’d like to meet the specific pet sitter who will be assigned to your pet, we can coordinate an additional meet and greet with your pet care specialist for a fee to account for their time. To further foster trust and consistency, we strive to keep each pet assigned to 1-3 dedicated sitters.

We are passionate about supporting the same community that supports us! Our entire team (Owner, Manager, Team Leads, and Pet Care Specialists) are local to the Leesburg/Lansdowne area. In addition to helping out our neighbors' pets, we partner with LCAS to take shelter dogs on Adventure Walks, giving them much-needed exercise and love while they wait for their forever homes.

We pride ourselves in going above and beyond to ensure your pet gets top quality care. We don’t just walk your dog or feed your cat; we clean pet bowls, wipe paws, tidy up, provide enrichment, and make sure your pet is happy and healthy at every visit! Our admin team monitors schedules at all hours to ensure every visit is on time and up to our high standards. We review every journal to guarantee top-tier care. Sometimes life happens and we work as a team to accommodate all scheduling requests. Need a sitter in a pinch? We’ve got you covered!

Choosing us means choosing dedicated, compassionate, and expert pet care professionals who truly love what they do!
