Fantastic service. Used for cat sitting my cats over the years while I lived in Arlington. Steve initially came for a first meeting to get keys and has always been very kind. They'll send picture updates, statuses, even done small things like washing the pet dishes too. Can't recommend enough! Much easier than taking my cats to a kennel read more

I think they brought back the wrong cats. I mean, these cats are so pretty! Shiny, lustrous fur, smells so nice, breath that isn't fishy, nails that don't scratch me to death, AND THEY ARE WEARING BOWTIES! In all seriousness, i have a hard time keeping my cats still for nail trimming and brushing. Baths are hit or miss, but getting them under a blowdryer or rubbed down with towels results in much screeching (the cats) and crying (me, because I just got scratched all over again.) So i scheduled a grooming session for the two adorable bastards. Not only did they pick up and drop off the kitties, they came back beautifully groomed and with adorable bowties. And it's all so very affordable! I'm a huge fan, and will budget for monthly grooming sessions from now on. read more

I've been living in Arlington for about 13 years. When I first moved here, I employed the services of another pet sitter for my cat. When my feline started aging and developing medical conditions requiring syringe-administered medication, the sitter wasn't completely comfortable doing so. That's when I did some research and came upon PS4C. It gave me a huge peace of mind that Steve was a vet tech and has an abundance of experience administering medication (both in liquid in pill form; my cat went through both). Even more comforting was the fact that my fussy feline came right up to him, during our meet and greet, eating treats from his hand. While I wouldn't have necessarily switched sitters, if it weren't for the medication issue, I am so thrilled that I did. My cat has since passed :-( I have adopted another and look forward to her meeting Steve. read more

I couldn't ask for a better pet sitter. I have two cats that mean the world to me. My cats prefer to be at home rather than go somewhere to a boarding location. When you schedule your first sitting appointment they come to your house for a meet and greet beforehand. I really appreciated that Steve took the time to come to my condo and meet the cats. We sat and talked about what the cats like and don't like and showing him where everything is for them. The cats even received a few pets. It really put me at ease knowing they were going to be in good hands. Now I use the service every couple of months. They always send me multiple photos and updates on the cats after every visit which is always my favorite. Steve goes above and beyond every single time he comes to check on the cats. He gives the cats fresh water, cleans the litter box (he even replaced the litter and cleaned the whole box when I was worried about it), vacuums up cat hair and litter around the box, plays with them with their favorite toys and checks on their food. They even took Polaroid photos of the cats and left them on the counter for me! Every time they send me photos of the cats, they always look so happy and are getting tons of pets from them. They also make sure the cats get treats and their medications if needed. They will bring in the mail for you and even water your plants if you request it!! I couldn't be happier with the service they provide and I feel at ease knowing my cats are in great hands while I'm gone. read more

Pet Sitting 4 Comfort - Polaroid photos of my cats - Pet Sitting Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

When we book this service, we can enjoy our vacation knowing our pet is well cared-for. I tried three other pet services before finding this one - one agreed to come twice each day but half the time only came once and two others left our cat without a drop of water in her dish. When I came home from a trip, my cat was seriously "yelling" at me - conveying as best she could how distressed she was. It broke my heart. But with Pet Sitting 4 Comfort, our cat is relaxed and happy when we return. We love getting a photo and update for each visit so we know our cat is doing okay. Scheduling and paying is very easy with the website. read more

I highly recommend Pet Sitting 4 Comfort! Their online scheduling system makes it so easy to book their services and the pictures/updates they send every time they check in on my cat gives me peace of mind that they are taking the best care of her while I'm out of town. Couldn't ask for a better pet sitter! read more

I wanted the absolute best for my cat and was lucky enough to stumble upon Pet Sitting 4 Comfort. The fact that Steve and Hong have veterinarian experience made me really want to work with them. It is evident that they are experts and it put me at ease knowing that they could take care of my cat when I was away. I highly recommend them for their cat sitting and grooming services! read more

We are so so so grateful to find this place!! We are reoccurring customers every week due to our heavy work schedules over the weekend. Words can't describe how pleased and ecstatic we are with their services. They're super reliable and easy to work with -- not to mention the kindest couple you will ever come in contact with. You can tell right away that they intend to give more love than the parents of all the fur babies they take care of! Our doggos come back clean and yearning a little bit more of Hong & Steve every time. We owe them the biggest thanks -- 10 out of 10 recommend! read more

Steve and Hong are incredible! We moved to this area this past year and was worried that we wouldn't be able to find someone reliable and trustworthy to take care of our 16 year old cat, but we are so happy we found Pet Sitting 4 Comfort. Unlike other pet sitting businesses I researched, Steve and Hong were incredibly responsive to my inquiries and very reassuring during our first meet and greet. My cat has hyperthyroid and needs to take her medication everyday and Steve is very experienced in administering medication to pets, so no worries there. I also appreciate the daily updates with photos they send us while we are away. PS4C is a wonderful family business that I would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for high quality and trustworthy pet care/service! read more

Between my dad and I, we love the service these people give to our dogs. Great customer service and care. Steve comes from the veterinary background and Hong just is an overall animal lover. They make an awesome team. My dad has an elderly silky terrier, going on 14 years old. He uses PS4C for boarding over several days at their place. Bella, because of her age needs special care and medication. She can't jump or go up and down stairs. PS4C is the company my dad has trusted to care for his dog other than an internal veterinary boarding facility. Since my dad is not as tech savvy as some, PS4C text me pictures of Bella and lets me know her behavior and potty habits. She isn't the most pleasant dog to care for... PS4C nicknamed her Diva. I have a 5 year old morkie that needs a middle of the day walking when my dad is not available. I am gone from the house from 730am till about 7pm Monday through Friday. Val is a rambunctious girl but is picky about who she lets close to her. I mean, she is 4 pounds and at that size, everyone is a giant. Hong and Steve take her on long walks and keep me up to date with photos and info. Val gets sick a lot and PS4C are very nice about giving her medicine, 3 oral fluids. They provide lots of playing time before putting Val back in her crate. She also seems to be obsessed with their baby. Between my dad's elderly dog and my young spunky one, I would say all around, Steve and Hong know how to handle different pets. Their prices are very fair too! They travel to my house for Val's walks and if need be, will pick up and drop off our pets. Compared to the dog daycare center a block away from my house and other day walking companies, I would pick PS4C without a blink for our pet's needs from grooming, to walking, to boarding. read more

Steve and Hong are good people who love dogs and will treat your dogs as one of the family. There isn't any better feeling than leaving your dog with people who care about him. our dog is a small "reactive " dog and followed hong from room to room and barked constantly, they didn't express any displeasure about that and even let him into the bedroom at night! Scooter basically becomes part of their family (with their 9month old daughter) when he's there. A sample text from Hong is "look he calmed down when I put the baby in front of his crate !" I mean what more could you ask for!? One note is that they don't always send an update every single day and don't always pose really great pics but you know what? I don't mind at all. Also- their rates are incredibly reasonable. I couldn't ask for more when it comes to someone watching our little guy and have already used them twice read more

Pet Sitting 4 Comfort - This is the text hong sent me telling me that her daughter helped calm my dog down :) - Pet Sitting Near Me - Arlington, Virginia

Highly, highly recommend! We have 2 dogs, one of whom typically takes a while to warm up to new people. They did a fantastic job caring for each dog's needs, making them comfortable, and ensuring they were well cared for while we were away. We even got pictures each day with a little report about how they were doing. We will absolutely be using them again - and will recommend them to our friends with pets! read more

The level of care and impeccable integrity both Steve and Hong provide is absolutely unrivaled in my experience. I have a 1.5 year old hound who is inexhaustibly energetic. I was always nervous about boarding him when I went away, that is, until I found Pet Sitting 4 Comfort through a friend's referral. I was amazed at the level of dedication Steve and Hong have toward caring for my pup, Cooper, or as Steve refers to him..."hype man". It doesn't take long to realize that when you leave your furry friend with Steve and Hong, they take them in and treat them as a member of their family. Case in point, my dog Cooper is very affectionate but also extremely needy. Steve will often sleep on the couch with him, just so he doesn't wine or cry at night. Steve and Hong also keep me informed about Cooper's feeding, bathroom, and outdoor activities. I also can't tell you how comforting it is to know that Steve is a trained vet tech who has cared for Cooper in ways that other boarding services have not been able to. Such as the time that Cooper scraped his front leg and Steve provided an ointment to apply 2-3x per day and explained how to administer it so that it was virtually healed in 3 days! As far as I'm concerned, Steve and Hong are the best around and a bargain for the services they provide. They continually seem to impress me more and more each time I leave my pup with them. I cannot recommend them highly enough! read more

I have a 15 year old Shih Tzu with heart and kidney disease. Her disease is progressing so I decided to find a new dog walker who had experience with senior pets. I chose Steve and Hong because of the reviews and they honestly deserve all of the great reviews. They provide the type of care that I would give and even include daily photos. So grateful that I found them. Thanks YELP! read more

We've used Steve and Hong's services twice now, and have been very pleased both times. They take excellent care of our cats while we are traveling: coming over reliably, making sure everything is clean and fresh, and texting us daily photos. I can recommend them with confidence, and will be using them again next time we go away. Thanks! read more

The routine veterinary hospital where my pet is normally boarded didn't have space for my dog during an upcoming holiday trip. On researching other boarding options, PS4C came up on Yelp with raving reviews and now I know why. I boarded my dog with Steve and Hong for a week, my dog loved it! She kept looking for them and whinnying after she returned home. That's a good sign that she was well taken care of. The location is a residential setting with plenty of room for pooches to run around and the service is very personal. I'd recommend a consult before boarding to better understand what they offer. Thank you so much Hong and Steve! read more

Steve and Hong An are the best second parents to my rambunctious 1year old Mini Bull Terrier. They are patient and have trained him during their time with him. They have been super flexible with my busy work and travel schedule and have saved me from many stressful situations and ensured my pup is well cared for and exercised during the day. Additionally, they groom, which is amazing when the pupper needs a bath! I highly recommend them to the Arlington community for sitting, taxi, walks and grooming! read more

We've left our dog with Steve and Hong multiple times and it's nice to know that he's going to be well taken care of and will have a great time. We love getting photo updates while we're gone and you can't beat the convenience of pick up and drop off being included in the cost of boarding. You really appreciate not having to make a separate trip to pick up your dog at the end of a long trip home and since grooming is included, he comes back with nice soft fur. They clearly love the animals they care for and I can see in how my dog greets them when they show up to pick him up that he loves them too. read more

We've been using Steve and Hong for over a year to take care of our 3 pets. They are trustworthy, reliable, flexible, and wonderful with all animals. Steve recently did overnight sitting for us for a few days and everyone was happy and well taken care of. I loved receiving photos twice a day so I could relax while being away. Wouldn't use anyone else. read more

Steve and Hong were recommended to me by neighbors as I was seeking a new petsitter. They seemed great when I met them, although I did initially have concerns that they might overbook. But, my pets seemed to like them, so I decided to give them a try with 2 upcoming trips. They were very understanding when I had to cancel the one trip because my cat developed a bad infection and I needed to get him to the vet instead of going away. However, when I actually used them, they did not come as scheduled. I had asked for them to come by in the evening twice and in the morning, around 8 am to take my two dogs out and feed them. They did come in the evening, which is great, but when my cameras in the morning did not indicate any movement, I started reaching out. I had to text multiple times and call before I received a return phone call. Hong indicated that Steve had an "emergency" and that they had "many appointments" but did not really seem concerned that they failed to follow through on taking care of my pets and asked if I still wanted them to come over, close to 1.5 hours later. I had already scrambled to get coverage from friends when I did not receive any response from them because I had no idea when they would respond to me. The fact that they didn't feel the need to communicate with me about not keeping their scheduled appointment and made excuses for their behavior instead of truly apologizing and trying to make up for the failure in the services, made me wonder if this is how they operate their business; overbooking clients with no contingency plan if something doesn't go right. If I did not have cameras in my home, I would never have known my pets were neglected. I understand that emergencies arise, but not notifying me that things didn't happen as planned and not acting concerned when I bring it to their attention is a huge red flag for me. read more

When our 16-year old toy poodle, Suzi, was diagnosed with kidney disease, we were devastated. The vet told us that she would need to take subcutaneous fluids twice a day. My wife and I are both "needle phobic" and we thought it would be too hard for Suzi to take daily trips to the vet in such a frail state. Then came along Steve, our guardian angel. He was extremely kind, patient, polite, and knowledgeable. He came to the house everyday for over a week, and he showed us how to give Suzi the shots, how to change the needles, change fluid bags, etc. It's been a few months now, and Suzi is still with us thanks to Steve. He literally saved her life and continues to help us whenever there is a need. This past weekend, for example, he came to the house a few times to show us how to give Suzi some oral medication using a syringe. Suzi is not a very good patient, she likes to bite... so after 2 visits, Steve trained us on how to hold her head and insert the syringe in her mouth without getting bitten by her. I would highly recommend Steve to anybody who is looking for a reliable, caring, knowledgeable pet sitter with a veterinary background. read more
