Shatiya's Path to Care

Our founder, licensed veterinary technician Shatiya Huff, grew up rescuing and nurturing animals others overlooked, transforming that early compassion into fifteen years of hands-on medical care. In 2018, she created Treat Em Purrfect Pet Care to bring clinic-level skill, gentle handling, and steady support to seniors, medically fragile pets, and the families who love them.

A Clinically Trained Team

Every walker and sitter on our clinically trained team brings hands-on experience from vet clinics, shelters, or foster homes, so they recognize subtle changes in behavior, appetite, or comfort that others might miss. Each professional completes Acutraq background checks, Pet CPR and first aid certification, and detailed medication handling training - giving families true peace of mind when they're away and pets need consistent, skilled, and gentle care at home.

Rooted in Trust and Community

As a Black-owned, female-owned boutique practice, we're deeply committed to the families of Washington DC and PG County. We take time to learn each pet's routines, preferences, and medical needs, offering calm, unrushed in-home visits. Our goal is to provide steady, trustworthy care that helps pets feel secure and helps clients feel genuinely supported whenever they're away.

Our Mission and Vision

We provide professional in-home pet care that keeps routines steady and communication clear, and we aim to be Washington DC's most trusted vet-guided partner for everyday walks, vacation care, and house checks.
