Dog Walking Services...

Paws & Claws Pet Nanny provides one on one loving care for your dog. Your pet and their walker / caregiver, get to develop a personal relationship day in and day out.  Our walks cater to the individual needs of your pet. If your dog has a laid back gallop we'll take them on distance walks, but if you're pet likes to just sniff around and take the world in we let them explore to their hearts content.  The visits are scheduled when you most need them to break up your long absence.   

    • Benefits of Daily Walks For Your Dog...
      • Dogs enjoy the stimulating sights, sounds, and scents that only an outdoor dog walk can provide. A healthy walk can help your dog maintain both mental sharpness and the exercise will help your dog maintain physical strength. 
      • Walking your dog will prevent the dog from becoming bored and unhappy which can lead to destructive behavior.  A nice walk will help your dog meet other creatures, people and pets.  This stimulation is just what your dog needs to become more social and to burn off some much needed energy.   
      • Regular exercise is required to help prevent your dog from becoming overweight. A healthy dog is a happy dog and vet bills can be very expensive for unhealthy dogs.
    •  Requirements:
      • All dogs must be current with the following vaccinations:  Bordetella, rabies & DHLPP vaccinations.  Puppies must be dewormed and are current with their vaccinations.
      • All cats must be current with their FVRCP and rabies vaccinations. 
      • Dog's will each have their temperament evaluated in a personality profile used to determine individual play-style needs.
      • We have the right to refrain from accepting dogs that demonstrate visible signs of hostility towards other dogs or people. 
    • Setting up the Dog Walking or Pet Sitting Service...  
      • When you are ready to set up the Dog Walker's Service, you can call our office at 571-201-4109 or complet our New Client Information Sheet online. 
      • Please contact us as far in advance as possible.  We suggest at least a 24-48 hour notice when leaving town, but it may be possible for us to accomodate last minute requests for services.  You should note, however, that we book up fast during busy times.  We will certainly be happy to assist you in finding another local pet sitter if we are unable to accomomodate you.

Pet Sitting Services...

We provide personal and loving attention to your pets while you are away from home. Most pets are less stressed and more comfortable at their own home where they can follow their normal eating, sleeping and exercise routine. In addition, you will have peace of mind knowing your pet is at ease and your home is safe.

A normal visit consists of 30 minutes in the morning and evening. Feeding, medication administering, walking, playing and loving are all included, plus mail and newspaper collection, plant care and more. We would be happy to spend more time each visit for an additional fee.

When you call Paws & Claws Pet Nanny, we arrange for a free visit to your home to:

  • Meet you and your loving pet
  • Get detailed information about caring for your pets and your home
  • Get a veterinary release signature
  • Complete a service agreement
  • Pick up a door key

During this visit you decide how often you want the sitter to visit, and what services you want performed. 

When providing pet sitting services, each visit to your home includes: 

  • Providing love and care when you're not there
  • Fresh food & water
  • Brushing, combing & providing playtime
  • Administering medications, vitamins, or other special care
  • Arrange for medical treatment in case of illness
  • Scoop the litter box and clean up all accidents

Overnight stays are also available.

'Poop' Patrol Services...

Servicing the Northern Virginia Metro Area, our fast affordable service will come to your yard and clean up after your beloved best friend.  We are not a large company or a franchise - so we can offer you a more personal touch.  We care about what we do and show up faithfully to do all clean ups.  If not maintained, dog waste will ruin the appearance of your yard (being protein based it is usually the reason for the burn spots on the grass), attract disease and offend your neighbors.  We will clean the dog waste in your yard and disinfect our equipment before and after each job as not to spread these canine diseases.  Regular scooping will lead to a happier healthier atmosphere for your family and your Pet!

At Paws & Claws Pet Nanny, we can scoop your yard every week to make your life easier.  We also offer one time clean ups for special occasions such as picnics, reunions and backyard parties.  Paws & Claws Pet Nanny cares about your pets and their health.  If we notice anything out of the ordinary, we'll notify you right away.  We'll be on the lookout for such things as worms or changes in consistency. 
Your time is precious and limited in this fast paced world.  Call us and we'll take care of this messy and smelly chore for you - for a lot less than you think.  Lastly, you may visit our 'Poop Patrol' website directly at:  www.wescooppoop.net   When you visit this site, we will provide you with additional insight on the importance of clearing your yard of pet waste.  You may sign up for services within this website or www.wescooppoop.net by clicking the request pet care icon.
