A Paw Above the Rest

Pawsitivity Pet Services was voted the winner of the Best of Loudoun dog walking and pet sitting category in 2022. We are unique compared to other pet care providers. Pawsitivity Pet Services prides itself on its small service area. We service Leesburg and Lansdowne, Virginia. Our staff is Pet First Aid and CPR Certified, personally trained by the owner, Kaitlyn, to ensure the highest quality care, and local to the Leesburg/Lansdowne area.

We charge for our time. We do not believe in extra fees for more than one pet, last minute requests, big messes, or extra chores. Whether you want us to take the dog for a walk, play in the backyard, request we scoop the litter box, care for small animals, or take out the trash or grab the mail while you are out of town, the price will never vary.

Meet & Greets

Meet and greets are required before start of service to ensure that we feel comfortable working together. This is a great opportunity to show us your pet's routine and where to find supplies such as harnesses, collars, leashes, food, cleaning supplies, etc. Meet and greets are free of charge when scheduled with the owner, Kaitlyn. If you would like to meet your Pet Care Specialist, there is a $15 fee that will be put towards your first scheduled visit. If the meeting runs longer than 20 minutes, you will forfeit the $15 credit.

Client Portal & Journals

Clients are encouraged to use our client portal for scheduling, communication with their Pet Care Specialist, payment, and more. Clients are required to input information about their home and pets into our client portal so care instructions are in their own words to limit any miscommunication. All visits are GPS tracked. Clients will receive a report card sent via email after each visit to ensure peace of mind. Report cards contain pictures of client's pet(s), a map of their dog(s) walk, and a blurb about what your pet and Pet Care Specialist did during their time together to their time together.

PLEASE NOTE: We require that our client's book in time blocks.Our first available time block is between 7-9am and our last available time block is between 5:30-7:30pm. For pet sits, Pet Care Specialists are instructed to arrive as early as possible for morning visits and as late as possible for evening visits.

Meet the Team

Kaitlyn

Hi, I’m Kaitlyn, the owner of Pawsitivity Pet Services. I have the best job in the world; I get to spend my time caring for animals. I've had a love for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had rabbits, frogs, hamsters, and fish. I got my first dog for my twelfth birthday and knew that I was meant to work with animals.I started this company because my dog is my whole world. I wanted to be there for animals when their humans couldn't be. I have experience caring for dogs, cats, horses, fish, rabbits, hamsters, guinea pigs, chickens, ducks and birds. I am a graduate of the Canine Training and Behavior Specialist certification program at Animal Behavior Institute. Other classes I've taken include canine nutrition and canine aggression. Completing these courses have provided me with the knowledge to take the best possible care for your pet. I am also certified in pet first aid and CPR. My love for my own dog has inspired me to care for all pets as my own; pets are family! I live in Leesburg and take pride in the care I provide for my neighbors pets.

Ayslinne

Hi! I'm Ayslinne! I am the Office Manager here at Pawsitivity Pet Services! I moved here from Michigan to start something new. My passion for dogs is something that holds a special place in my heart. Growing up, I have only had cats whom I love, but I knew that I would love to work with dogs. I previously worked at a doggy daycare back in Michigan. It was great because I got to pretend like there were my own. I also did some pet sitting on the side. I have also shadowed a local dog trainer. Training has become something I've been interested in for a while; I love the one on one bonding. I can't wait to to walk your dog, take care of your cats, and grow a relationship with them as well as you.

Robin

Hello! I'm Robin! I am currently an Office Manager here at Pawsitivity Pet Services! I've been a NoVa resident my whole life. I'm currently attending NoVa Community College. I have a special soft spot for giant breeds and have experience caring for elderly or disabled critters. I have grown up with a pack of mastiffs since preschool! I was a sectionally competitive figure skater for most of my teenage years and for the past four years served as a Linda Paley-Hume award winning team captain. I've volunteered at FOHA (friends of homeless animals) for almost a year now as a cat sitter and dog walker, as well as grown up spending lots of time caring for various barn animals on my grandfather's farm. All the critters I've met have been loved and special in some way, they always seem to bring us silly humans down to earth and humble us. I can't wait to meet your furry (or feathery!) children!

Hi, I'm Lindsay! I grew up in Stafford County, Virginia, on a horse farm with lots of cats and dogs running around. I currently live in Leesburg with my cat, Cricket, and still have my miniature horse, Rocky, in Bluemont. Horses and the sport of eventing have always been my passion. I've worked at The Chronicle of the Horse magazine in Middleburg, Virginia, for 10 years after graduating from George Mason University. I enjoy writing, photographing horses, and traveling the country and the world for my job. I'm currently in between horses and wanted to spend some more time with animals, so Pawsitivity Pet Services seemed like the perfect place!

Iris

Hi, I'm Iris! I live here in Leesburg with my three dogs (all rescues) and one husband (I got him the normal way). I have a full-time government job, but my love of dogs had me looking for something just like this, part-time. I’ve also taken care of cats and am learning about chickens (bok!), thanks to my mom and my husband. I’m looking forward to meeting your dogs, kitties, and chickens and help you take care of them when you are not able to - in the way I’d like someone to take care of mine.
