Mickey & Friends Dog Walks and Playdates LLC - Fairfax, VA
I am the small business owner of Mickey & Friends Dog Walks and Playdates LLC which is licensed and insured with the state of Virginia and named after my 6 year old Pembroke Welsh Corgi, Mickey. I've been a full-time pet care provider since December 2015. I've since provided walking services, drop in visits, doggy daycare, and overnight boarding for over 200 dogs from puppies to seniors, over a dozen cats and even a bird! I require meet and greets for all first time clients but after that can accommodate last minute requests usually. This is my full-time job and passion. You love your pets like family, I love them like best friends.

I will never, knowingly, jeopardize your health for my business gain and I will be responsible and maintain healthy practices on and off duty.
• Doorside Pickup is a unique option if you will be working from home and prefer a no contact service. I will notify you when I’m close by and you can leash your dog up and I can grab them without having to go into your home.
• I will always wear a face mask and give 6 ft. distance in the presence of other humans.

• If you would like me to disinfect all surfaces touched during my appointment time in your home I will as long as you provide the cleaning tools.
