 ******************************** 

The beauty of the fall season and cooler temperatures makes us want to spend more time outside enjoying activities, sports, and our pets! We are more than ready for Fall. With the pumpkins, corn mazes, apple pickin', fall festivals, and scenic drives, life is great! Nothing says "fall" like the blazing red, glimmering gold, and burnt-orange leaves that cover trees and crunch underfoot during the autumn months. Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year in Virginia! The perfect time to see Fall foliage is in the middle of October and with Columbus Day coming up, why not take a three day weekend to do just that! So book us today to take care of your pet sitting needs and book your trip to get away and enjoy the beautiful sights that Mother Nature has created...
 
Thank you for your business and your referrals. Don't forget, we give out Becky's Bucks for your referrals and for your reviews!
Substitutes and Supplies:

 

We truly value the relationship our company has developed with you and your pets over the years, and are especially grateful for the bonds between your pets and our sitters. You will have the same sitter unless he or she has an emergency, is on vacation, or leaves the company. In these instances (and always), we have your pet's best interest in mind and will send the most suitable person to do the service for you. 

 

As a further reminder, we are licensed, bonded, and insured with pet sitters capable of handling almost any emergency. All employees are dedicated pet lovers who have completed a thorough background check and are fully trained by our company. We are happy to have your sitter or substitute speak with or meet you prior to the onset of service. Your substitute will have access to your online profile with us, which lists detailed information to perform the service (just like your primary sitter) to your liking. Our Pet Care Manager at our main office can answer any questions or concerns about us sending a substitute. BPC will be here for you and your beloved pets, so let us know what works for you!

 

Please remember to provide essential supplies, including enough food for your sitter to do service for you! If you have a litter box, make sure you have a proper litter scoop and extra litter. If you're running low, your sitter may purchase extra supplies for you at the cost of a Shopping Trip for $25. Please have paper towels and soap (and/or pet stain remover) for accidents and hand washing. We want to provide the best service possible for you, please keep the necessary items.

  
  

Halloween Tips

            Keep Scaredy Cats (and dogs)
                  Safe This Howl-o-ween!

Pets love routine and when  your doorbell starts ringing and costumed kids are standing there, pets can get frightened and agitated. Try to keep your pet in an enclosed safe area with a toy. Read our online tips for Halloween here:
