Doggy Day Care in Belle And Mayo Islands, Richmond, VA

“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”

“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”

About: I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're actually really lovely!) I come from a long line of animal lovers and continue that legacy. When in my care, pets are enriched and have plenty of opportunity for activity. If your dog enjoys swimming, I can take them to a nearby creek to play. I have a large yard for playing fetch, and a spunky lab mix that is happy to play tug-o-war. I am very attentive to animals and put them at ease so they settle into their home away from home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!

“I can’t possibly say enough good things about Tyler and the amazing care she took of our pupper. She’s the best.”

Christina & Chris F.

“Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!”

About: Hi, I’m Leah – your pups new favorite person! As someone who has previously owned/inherited 3 dogs, I know how hard it is to leave your best friend with anyone that’s not you. That’s why I don’t take this responsibility lightly—your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I grew up with dogs and have spent my life around wagging tails and unconditional love. Whether your pup loves long walks FULL of sniffs, tug-of-war, or just cuddles on cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and at home. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs in the past—including my own—so I really understand how important it is to create a calm, safe space where they can feel secure. I know every pup is different, and I always lead with patience, empathy, and lots of love. Think of me as your dog’s vacation buddy while you're away💕 I work from home and am mostly always home during the evenings. I don’t have meetings too much so I can take your pup out and about as many times as you’d like. I have an apartment but live right beside a green space. I also love taking pups on car rides so happy to take them on hikes or go to the river!

About: Hello! My name is Kyla and since I was 5 years old my family and I have always welcomed needing pets to our home and family. I’ve also been frequently trusted with caring for neighbors’ and family pets during their times away. With this background I’ve been given the hands on experiences to understand and provide the needs of pets who are away from their home environment and would ensure that my home and care is a welcoming and comforting temporary replacement to what you provide to them. Looking forward to being your trusted sitter! I currently work from home full-time and am much of a homebody outside of that, giving me plenty of time to care for and play with your furry friends and provide frequent updates on their stays away from you. I live in an apartment but am very close to nearby parks and walking areas and would be sure to frequently give your pets their much needed doses of fresh-air and outdoor playtime. When in a client’s home, I am sure to treat it as my own and maintain the routine that they’re accustomed to.

“Thank you for taking such good care of him! He looked like he enjoyed himself!”

“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”

About: I’ve had dogs all throughout my life (1 Husky and 1 Malamute) growing up and I’ve done pet sitting for dogs of all sizes since I was 13. I’ve even raised a Pitbull puppy from 8 weeks until they were 3 years old with a former partner until they had to move away for work with our dog in tow. I still see them sometimes and have missed him ever since! I work from home full-time 9 to 5 Monday through Friday with plenty of autonomy throughout my day, so caring for your pet is no problem! My weekends are largely free, and I’m quite a homebody other than my daily walks. I loved grooming my previous dog daily when I owned him with my previous partner. Also, I have a small dog park right downstairs from my condominium. I love giving dogs attention/playtime when they need it but am cognizant of when they need alone time!

“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”

“Chris met us on time at the park and watched Ladybug while I went rock climbing at the RVA Man Wall. He was great with Ladybug and let her go wherever she wanted and snuggled her while we climbed. Great Rover experience with Chris, highly recommend!”
