Pet Sitting and Dog Walking Services in Loudoun and Fairfax County, VA

Animal Au Paws (AAP) offers the most flexible and affordable dog walker and pet sitting services you'll find in Loudoun and Fairfax County, Virginia (VA). We are firm believers in the individuality of each and every animal and our pet sitting services are tailored specifically to meet the needs of your individual pet.

Before providing any of our pet sitting services to you, AAP will schedule a free 30-60 minute consultation with you and your pet at your home. Our goal during the initial consultation is to make you and your pet feel comfortable with us, explain the pet services that you are interested in, and allow you to ask any questions that you may have about us.

Our experienced, professional staff is licensed, bonded and insured and will provide your pets with the same TLC as you do!

As part of providing the best value pet care service to you and your pet(s), please note that a delicious treat from Tara's Crunchies is included on all visits as part of every service package. Please let us know at the time of your reservation if your pet has food allergies or if you simply prefer that no treats be provided as part of the service.

**PLEASE NOTE** - Pet parents who submit a service request for pet care must receive a confirmation from AAP prior to departure to avoid being charged DOUBLE for your pet sitting needs. Please ensure that you receive a written confirmation for your pet care services before departing.

*New customer's who require an Initial Consultation and pet care service to begin within 72 hours will be charged $17 for the initial consultation as well as a $23 Short Notice surcharge.
