Doggy Day Care in Byrd Park, Richmond, VA

“This was Luna’s first day with Julie. She was happy when I picked her up and seemed to enjoy herself. We have another day scheduled in a week.”

“Best Rover experience ever! Emily treats our pup as her own, lavishing them with fun excursions, pup cups, and even practicing commands. I feel so much peace knowing I can rely on Emily and Sean to look after my fur baby, and our pup is always excited to visit her friend and surrogate family!”

“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”

“Very accommodating and good communication!”

“Tyler is an incredibly talented pet attendant. She has vast experience with dogs and cats, multiple breeds. I trust her to be both in my home and with my family members and pets. Her attention to detail is extraordinary; her mannerisms around pets are exemplary. She has my strongest personal recommendation!”

“Danielle and Matt were amazing - so responsive and helpful with our dog despite the last minute ask. They kept us updated about how he was doing throughout the day as well which is always appreciated!”

“Nicholas is super great with animals of all kind. One of the most responsible and respectful people I know. He has an excellent work ethic and is very caring. I would absolutely trust Nick to watch my own pets, and I would be confident they’d get the best care! He’s also incredibly active and would be a perfect dog walker!”

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

“Toffee could not have been happier to return to Amanda's for some last minute day care.”

“I could tell Goose had such a good time at Celia’s by how happy she was when I picked her up! also sometimes Goose won’t eat at daycare if she’s too anxious, but with Celia this wasn’t a problem at all! I could tell she was so well taken care of and she got along well with both Celia and her pup. I’m really happy with how frequently Celia was able to take her out on walks and how attentive she was. On top of that, Celia was super communicative and sent plenty of pictures and updates throughout the day. Would definitely recommend to others and would definitely come back for daycare again!!”

“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!!”

“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!”

“My two pugs stayed with Nicole for the day while my apartment was having a pest extermination done. When I arrived, she put her dogs out in the fenced yard so that my pugs wouldn't be overwhelmed entering her home. So thoughtful! They were able to sniff around & get used to her place with ease. I would definitely recommend Nicole for doggie day care!”

About: I’ve taken care of multiple breeds and of varying ages. I’ve also helped train my own puppy, as well as friends’ dogs, the basics like potty training, sit, etc. I’m quite comfortable with puppies under 1 year old all the way to our senior friends. I’m currently a full-time dog mom and pet caretaker. I just graduated from grad school and don’t start my new job until this fall, and I thought - what a better way to spend my summer off taking care of my favorite animal and helping other pet owners? I’m an open communicator and can be available how you need me with the proper heads-up! I live in an apartment building with my fiancé and our sweet, cuddly boy dog (neutered). There’s 3 parks within walking distance and a dog park just an 8min drive away. Since I live in an apartment, I would recommend only small to medium dogs stay with us, but I’m always willing to travel to clients’ houses for dogs of all sizes. I treat my clients dogs as if they were my own fur baby. The love, kindness, & attention I give my sweet boy is the same love, kindness, & attention your dog will receive. My friend is also a vet tech I can always reach out to for advice/questions and I myself am a certified (human) healthcare professional.

“Emily began pet sitting for us by way of a friendship with our daughter. She has several pets of her own and is very loving and attentive. She likes to send videos and pictures during her visit to keep us informed on our dogs’ contentment and well being. She is prompt with communication and follows a detailed list of instructions that we leave for her. Great pet sitter!”

“Preston (and Cynthia!) took great care of Auggie while I was at work. They sent me videos and photos throughout the day, and Auggie loved playing with their pup and running around their back yard. Great communication and very kind folks! Highly recommend.”

“Kyla is a loving and caring person that would look after your pet with much love and care! She has a clean and welcoming home to house pets as well as a great walking path and outdoor areas near by! She would make sure your fur baby is cared for and loved.”

“Cate is absolutely wonderful and I never hesitate to recommend her services to friends and family who are looking for phenomenal petsitters. She looked after my pets while I was overseas for a month, and when I came back, my animals liked her more than me!”

“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!”

About: What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my dedication to understanding and adapting to each animal's unique needs. My experience spans puppy training, senior pet care, and working with bully breeds, so I’m well-equipped to handle a range of personalities and requirements. I approach each pet with patience, consistency, and empathy, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable in my care. With a background that emphasizes behavioral understanding and hands-on care, I can provide a nurturing environment tailored to each pet’s age, temperament, and specific needs. Incorporating pet care into my remote daily and weekly routine is a natural fit, as it encourages regular breaks and fresh air while working from home. I start each morning with a walk, allowing your dog to release energy and get some exercise. Throughout the day, I schedule a few outdoor breaks for short walks or play sessions, keeping both of us active and recharged. Weekly, I add longer outings or visits to local parks, creating dedicated time for exercise and bonding. This blend of structured and flexible pet care activities not only ensures your pet’s well-being but also supports my commitment to increasing outdoor exercise. In my home, I provide a welcoming and nurturing environment for pets, ensuring they have plenty of attention and care tailored to their individual needs. With my experience in training puppies, providing senior pet care, and caring for bully breeds, I can address a wide range of pet needs, from active play to gentle support. Additionally, my home's proximity to Chimborazo and Libby Hill parks offers pets easy access to beautiful, green spaces where they can explore, exercise, and enjoy the outdoors, creating a balanced and enriching experience for them.
