Going on vacation? Dog boarders through Wag! are available to care for your pup whenever you're not. Every dog boarder has passed an enhanced background check. Get updates and photos through the app from the pet boarder while you are away.
Courtney was great! My dog has separation anxiety & is usually freaking out when I get home after being gone all day. But this time, she was calm and happy. She clearly loved Courtney!

Taylor was such an amazing sitter! She gave me detailed updates every time she checked in on the pups. Will definitely hire her again if she is available :)

Yuki boarded at Mari’s house and she had a great time. She loves running in the background. Thank you so much for taking good care of Yuki.

Keera was great with Archer and went at his pace! I got a ton of updates and Keera was super responsive and gave great updates! Keera was flexible when I was coming home sooner than expected.

Kristen took such great care of Mia while I was away for the weekend! Super responsive and easy to communicate with. Mia would love to stay with her again!

Sheana came through when I was in a pinch. I needed someone to let the dogs out because I was stuck in traffic in the mountains. She responded last minute and had excellent communication. She’s the best!

It was our first time leaving Skittles with a sitter, and Daniel did a great job of assuaging our fears! He was super communicative and made sure we knew that Skittles was in good hands. Highly recommend!
Christi B
He looks so happy with you dropping by! Thank you so much for your loving caring attention. Love it!

Kelli was awesome boarding my two dogs. Not only did she give daily updates with videos and pictures she also worked with them on introducing them to her cat and getting used to her big dogs. Can't recommend enough!

Sara went above and beyond for us and our pet. Gave us some peace of mind while out of town and we couldn’t be more grateful. Def recommended!

The best dog events in Harrisonburg
48
Jack Brown's Dog Days
One of Harrisonburg’s favorite greasy spoons, Jack Brown’s Beer and Burger Joint hosts a Dog Days series all throughout the summer, starting in April! Running each Monday in the evenings, Jack Brown’s will be putting on Yappy Hour, featuring dog-related food and drink specials. Leashed dogs are welcome on the patio, and might even score a few treats of their own. So kick back with a cold brew, a juicy burger, and your very best pal to enjoy summer as it takes over this mountain town!36
New Years Eve Glow Run 5K
By far one of the coolest 5K runs out there without having to run a Tough Mudder, the New Years Eve Glow Run provides runners with the opportunity to get the jump on that pesky, health-conscious New Year’s resolution! Leashed dogs are welcome and encouraged to dress up in their loudest colors. Registrants will receive lots of glowing accessories, all included in their $30 registration fee. There will be food, music, flashing lights, and an afterparty to follow at Pale Fire Brewing Company to watch the ball drop. Ring in the New Year with Fido glowing, literally!24
Dog Days Dog Swim
Summer comes to a close, as does the outdoor pool season. Rather than drain the pool as some sad, cathartic gesture, the Westover Pool staff invite Harrisonburg’s furry residents to enjoy the last swim of the year. With two different time slots available, dogs have free range of the pool for a little over an hour! Pre-registration is required, and the $2 entry fee per dog benefits the Rockingham/Harrisonburg SPCA. Owners must provide proof of rabies vaccination before entering the pool area, and keep dogs leashed if they are not swimming.12
A Walk for the Animals
Although this event is called Walk for the Animals, it is really a gorgeous hike at the stunning Melrose Caverns! After the walk is finished, participants are encouraged to come to the field day afterwards. The field day will feature blow-up funhouses and games for children - and pet-friendly activities for dogs! Registration is $29 and includes lunch. Beer from local brewers is available for additional purchase, and a majority of proceeds go towards the Anicira Veterinary Center.
Harrisonburg International Festival
Having just had its 20th anniversary, it is safe to say that the Harrisonburg International Festival is a longstanding tradition in this college town. The festival is free, and leashed dogs are welcome! This event seeks to unify Harrisonburg by celebrating our differences and learning about what makes each one of us and where we come from special. There will be lots of activities available for children, crafts and food to purchase, and live music going on throughout the day! Shuttle services to and from Hillandale Park are available from the parking areas.
