ABOUT US

If you are looking for a fun, safe and exciting experience for your pet, than you've come to the right place!  Owners consider their pets an important part of their family, and so do we!  We pride ourselves on developing personal relationships with all of our clients and their pets.  Whether you need regular daily dog walking while you're at work, puppy training, care for cats and other small pets, extended overnight pet-sitting while you are out of town, or a taxi ride to the vet or doggy day care for your four-legged friend, we understand the significance of being entrusted with the guardianship of your pet.  The Happy Paws Pet Nanny is dedicated to providing the best quality care for your pet

The Happy Paws Pet Nanny offers freedom, convenience, and a peace of mind while you are away providing customized in-home care for your pets.  In-home care lets your pets stay in their own familiar and comfortable surroundings with their normal daily routine.  Your pets will receive individual loving attention, and are exercised and played with minimizing exposure to illness and disease.  Your home maintains a "lived-in" appearance.  This reduces the risk of burglary and criminal interest in your home while you are away. 

In addition to in-home pet sitting, we offer daily visits for your pet, which may include walks, feedings, playtime, litterbox cleanup, or just good company, depending on your needs.  We will go the extra distance to give you exactly what you are looking for in pet care.  We are available seven days a week for you and your best friend.

WHAT TO EXPECT

After you first contact us, a new client coordinator and/or owner of The Happy Paws Pet Nanny will come to your home to meet you and your pet. The consultation is an opportunity for you to get to know us, as well as review our policies and procedures.  In addition, we will complete an analysis of your pet(s) to ensure they are a good fit with the Happy Paws Staff for dog walking/pet sitting.  During the consultation, if you choose to become a client, a contract will be signed upon your understanding of the policies and procedures.

Each new client receives access to their online Client Portal.  After each visit, our sitter sends a Visit Report describing the activities of your pet during the visit, which you will receive by email and can also view in your Client Portal. The Portal is fast and easy - you can view your invoices, schedule visits, update care information quickly, and request changes to your already scheduled visits - all online!

With the client's permission, occasionally we take pictures of pets during their walks/sitting and post them to our Facebook page.

Client is responsible to provide:

1. Two methods of access into your home outside of your home, with a code or key in lock box (door code, garage code with interior door unlocked, or a key lock box code). A primary method and then a secondary method (should the primary method fail). There is another option of backup secondary entry, an emergency backup Safe Key that goes into our office safe after the consultation and contract signing. If this key is needed for entry, there is a $25 key pick up charge. If you don't have a key available at the time of consultation/contract signing, you can drop it off at either our Bristow or Warrenton office free of charge, or we can pick it up for an additional fee.

2. Your Home and Pet(s) Time to Pet Profile updated prior to services. Our nannies study these profiles prior to their visits to make sure they understand the level of care needed. If you choose to leave handwritten notes, make sure your Time to Pet Profile matches, to be consistent and avoid confusion. :-)

3. Any special special dietary requirements snacks and treats!
