Expertise You Trust. One Standard of Excellence.
Comprehensive Pet Care since 1998.
Our Story
When Becky started her company in her townhouse basement in 1998, she was a one-woman show determined to provide excellent care for pets and people throughout the Northern Virginia area. Armed with business books and the knowledge that working with pets made her happiest, Becky dedicated her efforts to growing a world-class, care-based professional pet business that delivers an excellent experience for pets and people alike.
Almost thirty years later, Becky's Pet Care is a leading pet care provider in Northern Virginia, with 60+ employees and over 2,500 clients, and is considered one of the largest privately held pet care companies in the United States.
Becky’s Pet Care now occupies a commercial office location. It ensures that their fully-staffed administrative team and local pet care professionals provide outstanding care for pets and peace of mind for clients all over the region.
One Standard of Excellence promise:
At Becky’s Pet Care, we offer a variety of service tiers—from The Essentials to Velvet Paw—but we maintain only One Standard of Excellence.
This means that while the duration or tasks of a visit may change, the quality of care never wavers. Whether you are with a pet for 20 minutes or an hour, "One Standard" means:
-
Every client receives the same high level of communication, safety, and professional conduct, regardless of the service level they’ve chosen.
-
We apply our full professional knowledge to every interaction. We don't "cut corners" on shorter visits; we remain vigilant, observant, and thorough.
-
We treat every home with the same respect and every pet with the same unconditional love we would give our own.
In short: The clock might change, but our commitment to "Expertise You Trust" does not.
“When I opened on November 1, 1998, I didn’t know we’d grow into what we are today, but I knew we’d always prioritize care for pets and peace of mind for their owners.”
Building positive relationships is at the heart of what we do.
We support or are affiliated with national and local organizations that are devoted to pets and their people.
