Who Are We?

Four Paws Ahead is a small experienced team providing pet sitting and dog walking in Reston, VA and surrounding areas.

As a small team of two brothers, we value your pets as family members and provide consistent personalized care and attention that a larger agency would not be able to do.

We are licensed, bonded, and insured through Pet Sitters Associates, LLC (PSA).

  • Care and Attention

    We give your pet all the care and attention they deserve and need while you are away. Besides the basic necessities like food/water, treats, and bathroom or litter, we provide plenty of human attention, interaction, and medications as needed. And of course for dogs, plenty walking or running if your dog prefers! All visits will always be at least 20 minutes with your pet.

  • Flexible Scheduling

    Whether your pets need one visit a week, four visits a day, or anything in between, we will have you covered. Our normal hours range 8am to 10pm and we can accommodate any schedule that is needed, within a 1-2 hour window of time.

  • Rates

    Our standard rate per visit is $18 for one pet and $22 for two or more pets. This rate is the same for dogs, cats, or other pets. This rate may be modified depending on distance, custom care required, infrequent/irregular visits, or other circumstances.
