We hope that you had a great summer! At Becky's Pet Care, we were so busy enjoying time with your wonderful pets that our summer just flew by!
The end of summer means family vacations are over, and everyone is back to the grindstone--back to school for the kids and back to work for the adults. But don't forget: Fall is a fabulous time for Washingtonian's to travel, so shake off those back to school blues!
Go enjoy a long weekend in the mountains, a relaxing weekend at the beach while it is still warm, or a few days exploring in the country. You can enjoy your time away knowing that your pets are in good hands with their favorite Pet Care Professional from Becky's Pet Care. Make sure to schedule your reservation today!
Thank you for your business and your referrals; we value both! Don't forget, we give out Becky's Bucks for your referrals, so make sure you tell your friends your preferred pet care service!

Moving, Returning Keys, & Lockboxes: |
Along with changes in temperature and the start of another school year, we have a large number of our clients who have recently moved or will be moving to a new home in Northern Virginia very soon.
If this is you, here are some tips to help make your move (near or far) easier for you and your pets:
- Be sure to notify our office of your new address. We will need to obtain a new service agreement from you to be able to provide service at your new home. Additionally, we will need to schedule a Meet & Greet visit with your sitter so that he or she may become acclimated with your new residence. (Technically, we should not even enter your home without a signed agreement and a Meet & Greet, so please give us a heads up before you schedule your next service!)
- If you need the keys to your old address returned, please let us know where and when they need to be sent. We will mail the keys to the designated address via certified mail.
Please note: This means you will most likely have to sign for your keys when they are delivered to your address, so please make the proper arrangements to do so! If for some reason you are not available when the keys are delivered, your postman should leave a notice and retain your keys at your local post office. If you do not pick them up promptly, the keys will usually be returned to us, and we will contact you immediately.
- If you do not wish to have your keys mailed certified, you must give us permission to send them via your preferred method such as regular mail, or a key drop-off. A key drop-off may be scheduled with your pet sitter for $15 fee.
- Finally, once at your new address, consider purchasing a lockbox if you haven't done so already! We can provide a lockbox for a $35 deposit or you are welcome to purchase one on your own. Lockboxes are secure, affordable, and easy to maintain (for you AND your pet sitter), especially when you're on the move!
As always, we want your pets to receive the loving care they deserve while you're away from home. It is important to take proper care of your lockbox, locks, and keys so that we may better serve you and your pets, no matter the circumstance. Thank you for your continued business and the opportunity to care for your animals. We hope you have a wonderful rest of the summer!

Take Your Dog Swimming
| |
A celebration of the end of the pool season for dogs and their owners
Keep an eye out at the end of the summer season. Many community pools will host dog events when they're closing their pools. For a small fee you can allow your dog to swim in the pool. These events tend to get very crowded, so again keep your dog in mind. If he hates the crowds, this may not be a good option. There are many local parks and pools participating. READ MORE

September is...
Senior Pet Health Care Month
| |
They grow up so fast...
and before you know it, our pets are seniors!

As pets age, their bodies become less able to cope with physical or environmental stress. Since pets are very good at hiding signs of illness, health problems may seem to appear suddenly when, in fact, they have been gradually worsening over a period of months.
Just as with people, it's important for pets to see their doctors more often as they age. A thorough senior wellness exam is designed to promote the longest and healthiest life possible, recognize and control known health risks for older pets, and detect any signs of disease as early as possible, when there are more options for treatment and control.
Monitor for signs or problems such as:
Arthritis
Cancer
Brain Disease
Liver or Kidney Disease
Dental Disease
Diabetes
Heart Disease
