Doggy Day Care in Mechanicsville

“Sarah provided such excellent care and love to Jedi! It was our first time using Rover, and we hit the jackpot with Sarah! Will absolutely book again with her in the future.”

“Jonathan took good care of Chewy. Sending a photo while I was at work reassured me he was in good hands. Chewy looked so happy play with Jonathan’s dogs!”

“Chelsea was AMAZING with my anxious pup! She was also very gracious with my unplanned schedule change and accommodated us accordingly. I wouldn't hesitate to book her again.”

“So happy with Dante and Quincy's care of Bodhi. I drop him off every Wednesday while I'm in the office and he has such a great day playing with their dog Snickers. Big help for me and great socialization for my pup.”

“Lauren’s great! She took great care of our Fidel. She daycared for Fidel for two consecutive days. On the second day, Fidel was really excited when we arrived at her place and got really happy when he saw her. Lauren took Fidel out for walks and to play in the backyard. Communication with her was easy and quick. Highly recommended!”

“Tania is great. Marley always enjoy himself.”

“Salis was great! She took time to do a meet and greet ahead of time for my anxious and reactive dog. She responded quickly and sent me updates throughout the day. She said Cassidy got along well with her and her roommates. We have already booked more stays with her!”

“Lori is the kindest, most compassionate, and sensitive person I know. She cares very deeply about animals, humans and the environment. She has cared for both me and my pets and I wouldn't dream of asking anyone else to care for my beloved fur babies. Not only is she attentive, but she also practices Reiki energetic healing and animals LOVE that energy! I watch animals immediately bond to her and love her. She returns that love tenfold. I have seen Lori care for her own dog for many years and her fur baby was fed home-cooked meals including special homemade dog biscuits. Lori researches holistic solutions for health and behavior issues for the pets in her life and her acumen has added happy and healthy years to their lives. Lori's huge, tender, and empathetic heart is unmatched. She has a calm demeanor and immediately puts animals at ease. She's also creative and brilliant and she thinks outside the box to make sure all in her care are receiving the very best she can offer. Lori is THE BEST!”

“When my Lily got older and needed more support, it was either find her a daily care provider (while I worked) or put her down. Dorothy went above and beyond for my baby. Dorothy provided her with her numerous medications, on time, each day. Dorothy carefully cleaned Lily each time she had an accident. She spoon fed and watered Lily to ensure she was getting her nutrients and staying hydrated. Dorothy even went the extra mile to build Lily a walker to regain her strength. My Lily was a weak mess when Dorothy first took her in. She had lost one eye and had to have another sewn shut to heal internally. Dorothy carefully ensured her eyes were healing properly and even establish a relationship with Lily's vet for necessary concerns and questions. Lily can now stand on her own, walk on her own, and eat on her own. I am beyond words with how blessed and happy I am with Dorothy's dedication to Lily. I could not have asked for a better provider. Lily will never stay with anyone else besides Dorothy. I truly do not believe anyone else will love or care for her the way Dorothy and myself do.”

“Super flexible…we had to make minor changes to our drop off and pick up times and she was more than happy to accommodate! Got a pic during the day to let us know all was good with our pups. Would recommend her for your pet sitting needs! ?”

“Jordan was amazing! Kept us up to date with how the pup was doing and sent great photos. Put us at ease while we were working, especially because it was her first time in daycare.”

“Brandon is always my first choice to watch my dog. He's definitely a dog person and takes care of my dog like one of his own. He has a great fenced in backyard that allows everyone to run to their hearts content and a super dog friendly house. I always know that when I pick up my dog he'll be happy and worn out!”

“Jenna watched my 1-year-old high energy puppy while I was gone for 3 days. She did a great job at communicating with me about Iroh and how he was doing. I felt safe knowing Iroh was being taken care of before my return! Don't hesitate to book with Jenna!”

“Jennifer was the best!! Exceptional communication, check-in’s often & provided quality service for my puppy! Had a few bumps in the road regarding the app considering it was my first time using Rover, but Jennifer worked with me tremendously to solve the problem. Her daycare service was very convenient & i will definitely be booking with her again in the near future!!”

“We’ve had Peyton care for our horses, cats and dogs for years, long before she joined River. Never had a problem and she’s always provided a secure, loving caring and healthy environment for our pets and animals. She adores animals, and is very knowledgeable in their care and training.”

“Tabby was great! She responded quickly and was able to keep Hattie Mae last minute. There were other dogs for her to play with so when I picked her up she was ready for a nap! Thank you”
