Hurray 5 Year Anniversary!



I can hardly believe it has been 5 years. KSR Pet Care was officially founded on November 17, 2008.
Happy Birthday KSR Pet Care!
We still stick to the same principles and our service area is still like it was, except with the addition of zip code 22102. We like it that way and there is definitely plenty of business inside that area.

I have to admit it feels like it has been a decade... Going into pet sitting and dog walking is hard work, long hours and a lot of sweat and tears. Some days or slow, others fly by where you are working into the night. Regardless, I am still passionate and happy to say that a lot of my team members have been with me since the start. Loyal to one another and the business we adore. Personally I still enjoy the field work very much.  Probably also because I have to do more office work these days...

I am proud and glad that after 5 years I am where I am now and can still say that as a business we stay true to our ideals and the principles with which we started 5 years ago. Just like in the beginning, we still
"are a small team of mature Professional Dog Walkers and Pet Sitters. We offer Pet exercise, Vacation visits, Cat, Exotic and Small animal care, Puppy and Senior pet care. We are insured and bonded. Pets can be unpredictable, so who is experienced enough to think outside the box and step up for your pets' well-being when more is required than the straightforward care? Who will take care of them and your house as if you were still at home? That's what KSR Pet Care pledges to do. We assign one primary walker/sitter to bond with your pet. There is no extra charge for more than one pet in the same family. We possess the passion, experience, maturity and commitment to offer you the best in pet care."

We have not stood still in time though. We have added more professional contractors to our team. We are and continue to be very selective who to hire: do an extensive interview and application process, background check and reference check before allowing anyone new on our team. We have also grown with the online world of social media, have an online scheduling system and calendar for our clients and sitters, have tied into the right kind of professional business services, try to stay up-to-date about SEO, online traffic and our virtual presence. We are member of Pet Sitters International and, locally,  the NOVA professional Pet sitters Network. We even have an event which we co-host called Mutts n Munchkins Crafty Kids Fundraiser which is a non-profit for families, kids and dogs. To offer the best in pet care we need to constantly educate ourselves, network and stay professional.

So with this, we go on...ready for the next 5 years!
