I had a great experience with Melissa watching Porter this weekend! She kept me updated with pictures throughout the stay, including walks and playtime with their two dogs, which made me feel really comfortable while I was away. Porter looked happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for the entire time. Communication was easy and consistent, and I would absolutely book with her again!

Need a picture with Santa? Be sure to bring your camera because he will be making an appearance, too! The Christmas tree will be lit at 6:00 pm at the Old Town Square so stick around for the holiday cheer!24

Let's go for a walk! Take in some fresh air and stroll along the wooded trails with your leashed furry pal. Be sure to bring plenty of water and dress for the weather and, as always, be a good pawrent and clean up after your pet! There are plenty of spots to sit and read, have a picnic or play fetch with your doggo! Cross over stone bridges overlooking babbling creeks, listen to the birds sing and get some good, fresh air in your lungs. Be sure to keep a close eye on your dog while walking in the woods in case of area wildlife.
Doggie Splashdown
Be sure to mark your calendar for September - after the dog days of summer comes your dog's chance to take the plunge at Fairfax Swimming Pool! The event is free but donations will gladly be accepted to benefit Fairfax's Humane Society. When you arrive, be sure to have proof of your dog's current vaccinations and keep your pup on a non-retractable leash until the event starts. Can you imagine the fun your furry friend will have splashing around with his dog buddies? Be sure to bring plenty of towels and your camera - you won't want to miss a minute of this canine fun!
