Falls Church is a small city in the state of Virginia. Included in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, this historic area was involved in both the American Revolutionary War and the American Civil War. Today, Falls Church is a popular place for young families, including pet owners. Pet parents will find 10 veterinarians within the city's limits.
Although Falls Church is a small, quiet community, it does offer a few amenities for pets and their parents. Spend some time exploring the trails at Roundtree Park, or check out West End Park.
Adventuring can be tiresome, and if you need a place to rest your head, try Westin Tysons Corner. This hotel welcomes small dogs at no additional fee. If you are traveling with a larger canine companion, TownePlace Suites by Marriott Falls Church may be a better choice, but does charge a pet fee. When you're feeling hungry, check out one of the local restaurants with dog-friendly outdoor seating, including La Caraquea and Sea Pearl.
Whether you and your pup are locals or you are just passing through the area, you will have no trouble finding something to do in and around the dog-friendly community of Falls Church, Virginia.
The heart of Falls Church’s City Center area is the place to be if you want to grab a bite to eat with your four-legged friend.

Dogwood Tavern is another local favorite with specialties like pecan crusted trout and jambalaya. In the mood for Italian? Try Argia’s Italian Restaurant.

This large, fenced-in park has a separate area where small dogs can play safely away from larger breeds, and there is even a stream where dogs can cool off on hot summer days.

This Arlington neighborhood is located just over four miles southeast of Falls Church, and is home to the puptastic Glencarlyn Dog Park.

There are also a few wooded paths to explore, and the park meets the W&OD Trail if your dog is in need of a longer walk.
A few miles further east in Arlington’s Penrose neighborhood, you will find Towers Dog Park. Located inside Towers Park, this doggy destination is fully fenced and has a smaller area for small dogs. The park is open daily from dawn until 10 p.m., and it is well-lit for nighttime use. Water spigots are available to help keep your thirsty pup hydrated.

Hello! My name is Angela. I LOVE animals, most specifically dogs. I am currently a proud puppy owner of a rescued lab mix. I have volunteered at numerous animal shelters since I was a teenager and I was a dog-sitter in college. I am currently a Kindergarten teacher, so I understand having patience and passion for little ones. I apply this same practice to dogs. I also love exercising and I think one of the best ways of getting your daily activity is through walking. I look forward to walking with your precious pooch!
"Nicki was great and Onyx loved her! She was attentive to his dislikes and he came back tired :) "
"You are amazing!! Thank you so much!! River can sometimes get overly playful and behave kind of poorly on the leash but I am so glad that you all got along so well! I'm sure she can't wait to see you again!!"
"Laura was very sweet to Selene and seemed to have a lot of fun during the walk! Thank you!!"
"Matt seemed to do very well with Rhett. He's a big dog but I didn't get any texts or calls from Matt with any concerns so I assume he did very well! "
"Thank you so much! I especially appreciate the extra pics since i miss buddy! "
"Ben was awesome! My original walker was a no show but Ben came to the rescue. He was understanding of my work situation and was patient with me when he tried to access the building. He posted videos and marked Mimi's walk which was great!"
"Thank you so much for walking Buffy in the rain! It's definitely not her favorite but I appreciate you working with her to make sure she got some exercise! "
"Matthew was great with Camilla! She can be a little fussy on rainy days, but he made sure she got all the love and attention she needed even though she didn't want to walk much. Played a little extra inside with her. Thanks, Matthew! "
"Angela is so sweet!! And Mochi seems enjoying the walk very much with her. "
"Ben was awesome! He sent me updates and videos of the walk with my pup, which was so appreciated! Lorenzo looked like he was having a great time :) I will be booking Ben for my future dog walks for sure! "
