Happy Fall y'all🍂 This cutie is sure to warm hearts just like pumpkin spice. Meet our newest Pet of the Month ambassador.... Maisy 🐾

🍁 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.

🍁 Words to live by: "Do you have treats?"

🍁 Favorite thing about our team? I love when they get excited to see Maisy and when she gets excited to see them!

🍁 Favorite dog friend? Her friend Bailey is in playgroup D with her and we love to see Luna W when she comes to daycare.

🍁 Quirk? Maisy loves keeping cool and will find an air vent on the floor and lay right on top.

🍁 If she could talk, what would she say? They give out treats at enrichment school!

🍁 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. "

🍁 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.

Cooperative Care Dog Training Workshop

💥 New Workshop Alert!💥 Join us Thursday, 5/9 for a Cooperative Care workshop. Learn how to build and maintain your dog’s tolerance of handling in all situations throughout life.

We acheive this by giving them greater control over their experiences through a framework of behaviors built on trust and collaboration. 🐾 Does your dog struggle with grooming or vet visits? 🐾 Does your dog avoid brushing and nail trims? 🐾 Is your dog tolerant of handling and do you want to prevent potential problems? 🐾 Do you want to learn how to help your dog feel more confident when faced with care tasks? 🐾 Does your dog struggle with grooming or vet visits? This workshop is excellent choice for any dog especially puppies, adolescents, elderly dogs, and Impulse Control, Confidence Building, Brain Games, or Relax students and anyone with enrichment interest.

Our Story

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.
