Josie's Labor Day plans: absolutely nothing. 🐾

She's had a lot of practice. Josie is our resident host — the one who greets every guest, shows them where the good sunny spot is, and generally sets the tone for the weekend.

We have openings September 4–8 for in-home boarding, overnight care, house sitting, and drop-in visits. No kennels, no runs — just a comfortable house, a fenced yard, and her.

Holiday spots fill fast. Send us a message. 💗

📍 Serving Fairfax, Oakton, Vienna, Burke, Chantilly, Centreville & Clifton

Live. Love. Woof. 🐾💕

This is the face of a very good day. Whether your pup greets the world with this much enthusiasm or prefers a dignified nap on the couch, they deserve someone who shows up just for them.

That's us. 💙

It's summer, which means road trip season is officially here. 🚗🐾

Some dogs are natural-born travelers — head out the window, ears flying, living their best life at every stoplight. 😎 Others would honestly rather stay home. Wherever your pup falls on that spectrum, a few simple tricks can make every car ride safer and a whole lot more enjoyable.

A quick checklist before you hit the road:

🦴 Treats and chews to keep them happily occupied
🛏️ A comfortable dog seat or bedding so they feel secure
🔒 A harness that latches to the seat — safety always comes first
☀️ And the golden summer rule: never leave your dog in a parked car, even for a minute. Temperatures climb dangerously fast.

Got a dog who'd rather skip the car altogether? That's literally our job. 🐶 Ask us about our pet taxi service — we'll handle the vet runs, grooming drop-offs, and everything in between, so no one has to be wrestled into the backseat.

When you hire a dog walker, you're not just trusting them with your dog. You're trusting them with a key to your home. 🔑🏡

We never take that lightly.

Every Walking Wet Noses team member is carefully background-checked, trained, and insured and bonded — so the person walking through your door is someone we'd trust with our own homes and pets. We use secure systems to manage home-access details, follow your specific entry and lock-up instructions every visit, and keep your routine consistent with a caregiver who becomes a familiar, trusted face — never a rotating stranger.

Your pet's safety and your home's security go hand in hand. That's exactly how we treat them. 💙

Ready to meet your pet's person? Let's set up a free Meet & Greet.

Did you know? Most cats sleep between 12 and 16 hours a day — and kittens and seniors can clock up to 20.

It's not laziness; it's instinct. Cats evolved as hunters who burn huge energy in short bursts, so they conserve the rest of the time with lots of little catnaps rather than one long sleep. A cat dozing in a sunbeam is just… following the ancient job description. ☀️

So if it feels like your cat is asleep every time you look — you're not imagining it.
