Doggy Day Care in Brauers, Richmond, VA

“Thanks for taking great care of my boys!”

About: Puppy sitting for my perfect nephew (Rocky) for the last five years in San Diego inspired me to help others in Richmond now that I call it my home. In college I fostered kittens that were too young to be adopted to help build socialization skills with people. I grew up always having both a dog and cat in the home and can’t wait to rescue someone of my own here soon 😊. I currently work from home all weekdays, but do plan travel typically 1x per month. I live an active life and love the outdoors, long walks and hikes. I am happily available for boarding, daycare or walks any day of the week. Advance notice to schedule boarding is greatly appreciated to plan ahead with my schedule. My home is a single story, 3 bedroom house with a fenced in backyard and quiet street full of neighborhood fur friends to meet along our walks!

“Jordan was the best! I was traveling for work and had to bring my dog, Kona, with me. She was so flexible and made sure Kona was well loved on while I was at work. Will definitely use her again when I’m in the area.”

“Katherine has watched my two dogs at least ten times and is always professional, kind, and loves the boys as her own! She pays attention to detail and follows all of the “overbearing dog mom” directions I give. :) It’s a bonus that she takes and shares so many pictures and provides updates on how they’re doing before I ever even have to ask!”

“Outstanding sitter, never once worried through out the day while away from my pup because I knew he was in good hands 10/10”

“My dog came back very happy from his stay with Kiera! He had a blast!”

“Raye was phenomenal! She accommodated our last-minute request, provided lots of updates throughout the day, and clearly treated Brodie as if he were her own. Absolutely will seek her out for future sitting needs. Thank you again, Raye!”

“Lindsey has always been a great caregiver for my pets. At one time I had 3 dogs and 3 cats living with us. Our dogs were most appreciative of Lindsey engaging in daily walks. Reilly, our golden retriever especially liked her training, because the training was always followed up with a yummy reward.”

“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.”

“Drew's love for animals is undeniable. He is gentle and kind to animals, often even saving spiders who've found their way inside and returning them to the outdoors. Animals play a huge part in Drew's identity, he tenderly cared for his 18+ year old elderly dog who he cared for since he was a tiny puppy. Drew looks at animals as equals and makes sure all their needs are met, including their mental health by making sure they are active and mentally stimulated. I highly recommend Drew for your pet care needs, you can rest assured that your animals will be in great hands.”

“Henry was a great sitter! He took great care of Fidel during the day. Henry took him out for walks to keep Fidel busy and cheer him up. It was also very easy to communicate with Henry. He answered our messages right away.”

“Alyssa is by far the best petsitter! We booked with her last minute and she was very accommodating. Our dog was well taken care of and I was worry free while I visited my extended family. We will definitely use Alyssa again in the future when we are in the area!”

“Steven is an ideal pet sitter! My dog is so excited to see him when he walks in the door. She knows it is time to play and she is going to get endless pets and cuddles. You can tell how much Steven loves animals and cares for their well-being. My dog (and cats) are relaxed and happy when I get home.”

“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!”

“Lydia was awesome. She was very flexable with drop off and pick up times and sent pictures and a video throughout the day to let was know that Nixon was doing well. We look forward to using her again.”

“Amber is the only human I know who can befriend any animal. She cares deeply about nature and has rescued many strays that have found her. I have two of my own animals that love her dearly. An energetic Aussie named Star and a one eyed wonder kitty named Popeye. Popeye is skeptical of all people, but gives her all of the kitty snugs and purrs with no hesitation. When Amber comes to our house Star will literally follow her into every room and with ease listens to her requests. I highly recommend her for your animal care needs!”

About: I’m 28, and I have taken care of many family animals and I’d love to commit to be your pets sitter. I’ll make sure that your pet is treated like my own and they’ll never lack love and care. I’m pet sitting full time. I’m gone about 3-4 hours a day total. So I have plenty of time to spend with your pet ! I live in a 1 bedroom apartment but I love going outside so I definitely have plenty of room to play with animals. We can walk to a nearby park.

“Ivana was amazing watching my sweet Milo. She cared for him & he was always excited to go back. Ivana gave me updates and was great with communication. 10/10 would recommend ❤️”

“I am writing on behalf Casey Mattis. Her being a well rounded individual, Casey displays receptive qualities by nature. A very kind and genuine individual who can make any human or non-human smile. In addition to her fond individuality, she is trustworthy and conscientious. I think Casey is a great fit for the position and will demonstrate value in her caregiving.”

“10/10! Would recommend! Joe is a caring, friendly, thoughtful, detail oriented caregiver! He will consider your pets needs first when it comes to ensuring they are receiving the proper attention while under his care.”
