Doggy Day Care in Fairfax

“Chris, thank you so much. We have so much peace of mind knowing that you loved Bodhi as much as we do. It was wonderful to get feedback from you and see pictures of your hike. We look forward to working with you again.”

About: ****Please note new changes *** I recently adopted and rescued a sweet 1 yr old Havanese mix dog. He's very friendly and very chill with animals including cats. For dog sits, I would request that he come with me (although he might not and he might stay home with his mom). I have an extensive history with animals. Lastly, a new update, I will not accept dogs who are aggressive with other dogs moving forward. I have owned three dogs, two cats, and two ferrets in the past. I have always been a dog lover ever since I was a young boy. I currently adopted a new dog and he is a sweet angel and very well-behaved. You will get constant updates on how your dog is doing on a daily basis. I will take them on fun adventures to hiking trails, beaches, or parks. I am a firm believer that dogs are really man's best friends and will treat your furry friend as if he/she was my own, with lots of love. Look forward to meeting with you and your dog. Yes, I currently walk my dog at least 3 times a day, including a hike where we can meet other dogs. I do this full-time as we have officially entered a recession in the tech world. If I am in the home/boarding, I will ensure your dog is fed and adheres to their normal routines. Nothing changes when I care for them, except we might be hiking a lot depending on their age and if they can handle that; if not, we chill locally and take small local walks or let them outside for relief.

“Marisa & her lovely family are so kind to Romeo. What a perfect spot with a sweet yard. He strolled up to their house on day 2 with a wagging tail & made himself at home. Happy to have Marisa in the neughborhood!”

“Sophia (and her two sons) made me feel very comfortable leaving Moki in their hands. They took great care of him and even brought him to beach. They took him in like their own. I’d definitely recommend for those looking for a reliable and loving dog sitter.”

About: I’ve been a trusted house and pet sitter for over 15 years and I love to provide the best care. I’m passionate about animals and want to make sure owners know they have left thier animals in the hands of someone who can be relied on to provide the same level of love care as they would. I’ll be able to be flexible in schedule most days and strive to always update my calendar to reflect my exact availability. I’m available for pet walking, house / pet sitting. I can currently care for your pets in your home! I am happy to take suggestions on which routes your pets like to walk and any other instructions in order to provide the best care for them.

“Angela is kind and responsive. We're so lucky to get connected with her to provide daycare for our puppy. She did a great job.”

“I've never used a dog sitter before today and was a bit nervous because my dog tends to struggle with separation anxiety and he is currently mourning the loss of his brother. Lillie is so thoughtful and clearly has a huge heart for dogs! She welcomed me with flowers because she knew we were grieving the loss of our other dog. Lillie's energy and dog friendly environment helped put my dog at ease right away. Her dog was so friendly and was excited to have a fur pal to play with. I appreciated getting pictures and videos of my dog throughout the day. I definitely recommend Lillie!”

“Marlo is wonderful. She is calm, caring, and my little pup calmed right down with her and had a wonderful day. I think Izzy has found her person!. Thank you so much Marlo and we hope to book with you again very soon.”

“Anne has taken care of our Labrador, Marley, many times over the years, especially when when we're traveling. I'm always at ease when he's with Anne because I know he's loved and exceptionally well taken care of! Email me at brenda_o@mac.com with any questions.”

“Nick is a great sitter! He will follow your instructions 100% and make sure your dog is comfortable! What I liked most was that he takes one dog at a time and he won’t add any other before asking you if you’re ok with that! The location he lives is a slightly busy street and not so easy to park at night. Thanks Nick for having my precious Calvin!”

About: My family loves dogs and cats - all animals. We recently lost our Golden Doodle Skipper. We consider dogs full fledged members of the family. I am home during the day, my high school seniors and husband are home each night. We will make all dogs boarding here feel loved. We have dealt with most every type of pet emergency as well. My schedule is flexible. I work at home. I take regular walks in our neighborhood and love having a canine companion. As a family, we love to play with dogs and they are welcome everywhere in the house. I love to take dogs with me when I run errands. We have a fenced yard. The dog would be welcome inside snuggled in one of our dog beds or sitting with me in my office while I work. I like to walk in my neighborhood and a companion is always welcomed.

“Alexandra did a great job with my dog rags. He was more calm with her than he normally is when with a sitter and she sent me an update as well.”

“Amber is an animal lover! She especially loves to play and care for dogs. She has experience caring for dogs since she was a child. Grooming, feeding and walking them are second nature to her. I think her favorite thing though is to just hangout and love any and all animals.”

“Tatiana is a dog whisperer!!! My doggie had an amazing day with her. Aiko's first time staying with a sitter. No distress, no mess, no howling. She ate, she walked, and she napped! I'm so thankful that I found Tatiana and I will definitely have my doggo enjoy her company again soon!”

“Sedra is awesome! I think Aiko loved her very much and I'm very happy with everything worked out. We will definitely see her again soon!”

“Inga seemed to have had a nice time. Inga is shy but Christine said she warmed up to her and enjoyed belly rubs and cuddles. She didn’t want to play with the other dogs. Christine has a great space for the dogs to play with each other. I was comfy leaving Inga with Christine ??”

“Emily is one of the most loving and caring people I know. She applies this love and care to pets as much as others. Emily grew up surrounded by pets and they have always naturally gravitated toward her. Emily is responsible, punctual, and creative. She has experience taking care of pets from walking and feeding to overnight stays. She also has cared for puppies to dogs in later stages who require medication and special attention. Emily is thoughtful and reliable and would treat your pet as if it were her own. I would trust her with any animal in any situation. You pet is in good hands with Emily!”

“Kevin was great with Kona. She’s usually very shy when meeting new people but he had treats ready for her and she warmed up to him right away. He was also flexible when my drop off time changed last minute. Thank you, Kevin!”

“Cristi is a wonderful loving and caring person. She is patient, kind, fun and has a true love for animals. I would absoltely trust her to take care of my pets.”

About: I have two Labrador retrievers, a cat and a rabbit and live in a spacious home with a large property (4 acres) at the very end of a quiet dead-end street. I have 20 years of experience with dogs. I am a registered nurse and EMT but I work from home as a writer and editor so I'm around A LOT and the animals are rarely left home alone for more than a few hours. Any dogs I am caring for sleep in my home and can enjoy playtime, lounging, and walks with me. There are trails on the property. I will care for your pet like my own. Since I work from home incorporating dog care into my daily life is easy. I'm around most of the time. The house is rarely empty! I love to hike so often take the dogs out for trail adventures. I know the trails in our area that are best for dogs. I provide dog-sitting in my home. Any dogs staying with me are supervised inside and outside. I walk dogs on-leash to keep them safe and also have two fenced in areas where they can play. If I need to leave the dogs home alone for any reason I have multiple dog-safe rooms where they can stay comfortably and not get into mischief.
