Picked up my hyper goofy baby for a long boarding and watched him most attentively. So grateful for Qing and her family who treated Gongura as their own

Olivia and her fianc were so sweet and great with Finn! I knew he was in the best of hands when I dropped him off and I know he ll be back :)

Paola took great care of Ollie and Lola! She was very attentive, detail-oriented and a I loved all the pictures she sent me. We had a worry-free trip and would definitely book with her again.

Andrea was so communicative with me and caring toward my dog, Ernie. She sent lots of pictures and updates so I knew Ernie was in good hands. Andrea was super creative in making sure Ernie got exercise and enrichment during a heat wave, and was proactive and knowledgeable about keeping him safe in the extreme heat. 11/10!

What a great experience! Communication was great and the pickup and drop off went off without a hitch. It was obvious upon his return that Mr. Parker was a happy dog. Definitely going to call on Olivia again. Thank you!

he took care of my dog over a holiday weekend and it went well. i do think he could have been a bit more responsive to texts but overall no complaints.

Bethesda's Winter Wonderland
Want to go walking in a winter wonderland? Bring your whole family (and your well-behaved, leashed fur-child too) and get immersed in the holiday spirit! Be sure to be a responsible paw-rent and clean up after your pup, please! Santa is watching, and he will even be there from 1-4 pm in Veterans Park. This event is completely free, so come on down and check it out! There will be some amazing ice sculptors doing what they do best - creating amazing ice masterpieces! There will also be yummy treats, hot cocoa and did we mention - Santa? Bring your camera and get your picture taken with the big man himself, and don't forget your wish list!36
Montgomery Women's Farm and Flea Market - 7155 Wisconsin Avenue
It's always the season for shopping! The Montgomery Women's Farm and Flea Market operates 52 times a year - each weekend! Your furry buddy can join you at the outside market - just be sure he is on a 6-foot leash (no retractable leashes for everyone's safety), is well-behaved and you pick up after him should nature call. The vendors have everything from clothing to food and all things collectable! There is also an outdoor flea market on Sundays - but tell Fido not to worry - there will be no actual fleas there! Grab your purse, your recycled shopping bags and all your two (and four) legged shopping buddies and get your shop on!24
Streetmarket
The whole family is welcome to attend the annual Streetmarket! Bring Fido on his 6-foot leash and be sure to clean up after him. There will be many popular vendors on hand including Take Care Shop, Steadfast Supply, Urban Jungle, Capital Craft Co. and many more. The event is free to the public and will offer free snacks and drinks to the crowd. There will also be an interactive photo booth available - so get silly and SMILE for the camera! If you are still looking for that perfect gift for that special someone, chances are they have what you are looking for at this market! What a wonderful community, family-friendly event!12
Rock Creek Trail
We all need a little extra exercise these days, especially with all those holiday goodies out there! Your furry buddy needs to go for a walk every day, so why not join him and head to Rock Creek Trail? This is a 14-mile asphalt covered trail that winds through the scenic hills and valleys in beautiful Montgomery County, Maryland. Be sure to share the road with your fellow dog walkers, runners, inline skaters and bikers. Also be sure to do your duty as a responsible pawrent and clean up after your furry walking companion. Remember to stay hydrated and keep to the trails! Next time someone tells you to take a hike - now you have some place to go!
Pet Pictures with Santa
Who doesn't need another photo of their pet with Santa? You know you already have a frame picked out, so head on over to the Wet Dog Tavern in nearby Washington, DC and have Fido climb up on Santa's lap and say cheese! All proceeds will benefit the Humane Rescue Alliance. You will get your own magnetic frame for your picture with Santa. The photo is free but won't you consider giving a donation to help this very worthy cause? HO HO HO to all, and a very happy paw-lidays!
