Happy Fall y'all๐ This cutie is sure to warm hearts just like pumpkin spice. Meet our newest Pet of the Month ambassador.... Maisy ๐พ
๐ Maisy is a 2.5 year old female Goldendoodle. She has been part of the FGMN family since 2022 and has used daycare, enrichment school, enrichment activities, and on demand training.
๐ Words to live by: "Do you have treats?"
๐ Favorite thing about our team? I love when they get excited to see Maisy and when she gets excited to see them!
๐ Favorite dog friend? Her friend Bailey is in playgroup D with her and we love to see Luna W when she comes to daycare.
๐ Quirk? Maisy loves keeping cool and will find an air vent on the floor and lay right on top.
๐ If she could talk, what would she say? They give out treats at enrichment school!
๐ Why did you choose our service? "I tried a couple other doggy daycares when Maisy was a puppy, but Fur-Get Me Not is attentive and organized and I love that there are so many playgroups so pups feel comfortable. "
๐ Anything else you would like to share? Maisy is humbled to be pet of the month and will be eating a dehydrated sweet potato to celebrate.
Today the Enrichment School dogs enjoyed a special halloween treat of foraging cauldrons and shredding pumpkins ๐๐ ๐ถ Happy Halloween - be safe๐ป

Our story began in December 2000 when founder Tammy Rosen launched Fur-Get Me Not as a pet sitting business operating out of her home in Arlington, VA. Initially she was the single employee and operator but quickly realized the growing demand for in-home dog walking and pet sitting services. Within a few short months she hired her first employee and was able to expand in-home pet care services in Arlington and soon after the broader Northern Virginia region.
In late 2003, Fur-Get Me Not relocated it's office to Shirlington and opened a 3,000 square foot dog daycare facility. By doing so, the company was able to further expand our pet care services by offering dog daycare, dog boarding, and dog training. By 2006, Fur-Get Me Not expanded in-home pet care services to the Washington, DC area.
In 2010, Fur-Get Me Not became a full-family affair when Tammy's husband joined the company. At the same time, we expanded our business in Arlington, by opening a Dog Training School located next door to our dog daycare, and in DC, by opening a DIY Dog Wash.
Today Fur-Get Me Not employs 130 pet care professionals and provides services to over 8,000 clients in the Northern Virginia and Washington DC area. Fur-Get Me Not has been recognized by numerous publications, organizations, and our customers for the high quality of services and the friendly, professional staff that make it all happen.
Philosophy
We believe in fair, open, and honest business practices. We believe when someone else is caring for your pet, they should provide the same quality of care as if you were doing it yourself. We work hard to build long-lasting relationships with you and your pets. Our team wants to really get to know your pet so we can partner with you to help them thrive. Our services are broad yet flexible, convenient, and can be combined in different ways to meet your specific pet care needs.
Whether you work or travel, have a new puppy, a high-energy dog or a playful kitten, experiencing behavior challenges with your dog or have a shy cat, we do it all. We can come to your home for pet sitting, dog walking, or dog training. Or you can bring your dog to us for dog daycare, dog boarding, dog training or DIY dog wash.
