Pet Boarding in Richmond

“They are an amazing couple, they took great care of Kata!! They sent us photos and videos every day and kept us up to date with everything. Highly recommended!!! Thanks guys!!”

“We’re so grateful for Benjamin and his family! They were amazing with Otto—very communicative, sent regular updates and photos, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Otto clearly had a great time. As a bonus, we had forgotten Otto’s vest and they kindly dropped it off at our home, even though we live quite far. That extra thoughtfulness really stood out. We would highly recommend Benjamin and his family to anyone looking for caring and reliable dog sitters!”

About: Animals have always been an important part of my life. I have cared for my own pets for many years, as well as pets belonging to family and friends. I truly enjoy being around animals and making sure they feel safe, loved, and comfortable. Since I started traveling in 2022, my lifestyle has not allowed me to have a pet of my own, so caring for other people’s pets has become a meaningful way to keep that connection in my life. I understand that pets are family, and I treat them with patience, kindness, and respect. I work from home, which gives me a flexible schedule and allows me to provide lots of attention, supervision, companionship, and care throughout the day. I’m responsible, attentive, and genuinely committed to making every pet feel happy and well cared for. I work 100% from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. Because of this, pets are rarely left alone and can receive plenty of supervision, companionship, playtime, and affection as part of my daily routine. For boarding, I offer flexible check-in and check-out times whenever possible. Pets are welcome on furniture and beds, and I always try to create a calm, safe, and comfortable environment where they can feel at home. Daily walks, playtime, and regular potty breaks are included depending on each pet’s routine and needs. For house visits, I can provide up to two 1-hour visits per day. I’m also happy to help with small household tasks such as watering plants or bringing in mail while you are away. For house sitting, I take both pet care and home care very seriously. I carefully follow all instructions and make sure pets maintain their normal routines to help them feel secure and relaxed while their owners are away. I’m comfortable following feeding schedules and administering medication when clear instructions are provided. Before caring for any pet, I always like to learn about their personality, routine, preferences, energy level, health needs, and any special quirks or triggers. I believe understanding each pet individually is the best way to provide loving, responsible, and stress-free care. I believe every pet is unique, so the care I provide always depends on each dog’s individual needs, personality, routine, and the specific instructions given by their owner. I take the time to understand their habits, energy level, preferences, feeding schedule, and any special care requirements to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for. I work hard to create a calm, loving, and secure environment both in my home and in my client’s home. Since I work from home, I’m able to give pets plenty of attention, supervision, companionship, and regular breaks throughout the day. I also live near a large park where dogs can enjoy walks, explore, play, and safely use their energy while having a fun and enriching time outdoors. Whether a dog is very active or prefers a slower pace, I always adapt to what makes them happiest and most comfortable. My goal is always to make pets feel relaxed, cared for, and loved while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pet is in responsible and attentive hands.

“We had such a great experience leaving our dog with them in their home. She was clearly so comfortable and well loved, and we got updates that made us feel totally at ease while we were away. Millie came home happy, relaxed, and very well cared for. We’re so grateful and wouldn’t hesitate to have her stay with them again—highly recommend!”

“Louie spent slightly a week over with Dean. As a bigger and higher energy dog, Dean had no issues or problem taking care of Louie’s needs. Louie had an amazing time with lots of doggy social time and walks. Louie came back super calm and chill. We would send Louie back without hesitation!”

Damien M.

“Anna was awesome, kind, and communicative all throughout Luna's stay. Luna seemed to love all of the roommates. She came back happy and well taken care of. I would definitely send her back!”

About: 💁‍♀️ Drop-in Visits • Dog Walking • Doggy Day Care • Overnight Sitting 🐱🐶 I’ve grown up with dogs and have 15+ years of experience caring for pets from many different families. I truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs—from relaxed companionship at home to fun, safe walks outdoors 🦮 I work from home, so pets receive plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections and have experience with raw feeding, always following owner instructions carefully. I have a 8-year-old cat and an 4-year-old Cavapoo, both friendly and fully vaccinated 🐈🐕 🏡 Home & Outdoor Space • Pee pads always available • 5 pet-friendly sky gardens • Nearby parks, trails, and occasional dog park visits (with owner approval) 🐾 Health & Safety Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and parasite prevention. Please share any medical conditions, skin issues, or special care needs in advance. 🚫 Note As I live in an apartment, I’m unable to accept pets that bark excessively or continuously. This helps maintain a calm and comfortable environment for all pets. 🗣 Languages I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, making communication easy and clear. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.🐾 🐾I work from home and pet care fits into my daily routine with morning and evening feeding, walks, and playtime sessions to ensure my pets stay active and healthy. I also include midday check-ins and short play breaks for mental stimulation. Weekly, I set aside time for thorough grooming, deep cleaning pet areas, and conducting health checks. Additionally, I plan special activities like outings or playdates to keep my pets socially engaged and happy. 😊 🏠 In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces, removing hazardous items, and providing secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest. I maintain trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement during training and play. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions, maintain open communication, and treat their pets with the same care and respect as my own. I also ensure a clean and stress-free environment by cleaning up after activities and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and their favorite toys. Additionally, I have a well-trained, calm, and healthy dog and cat, which further contributes to a harmonious and reassuring environment for all pets.

“My and Tim's experience with Braden was fantastic. Tim was happy and relaxed when I picked him up. Braden was quick to respond, and sent updates on how Tim was doing. I definitely will be reaching to Braden again next time I'm going out of town. Thanks!”

“Minh was amazing. He cares so much and I got regular updates/photos. Buddy clearly loved him. Thank you for taking care of him like he was your own dog.”

“Amazing sitter, so good with our anxious dog. It’s such a relief to know he’s in confident hands and he is so relaxed with Holly and her partner. Would recommend them in a heartbeat.”

“This was my first time using a sitter from Rover, but Dax and myself are happy we made the choice we did. From the first meeting, I knew this would be a good place for Dax for the 5 days that I was gone. He loves to be outside, and there was a good sized yard for him to play in. Natz took great care of Dax and I feel like she looked after him just like she would her own dog. I would definitely use Natz as a sitter again.”

Todd C.

“Tori took excellent care of Millie while I was away for 2 weeks, I received photos and videos everyday and Millie looked as though she settled in right away. Tori's cat, Kylie, also got along well immediately with my cat, which is often times nerve-racking when the little ones meet for the first time - by the end of the stay they were best friends. Tori took immense care caring for my cat and puts in genuine love for the animals, would highly recommend booking with her!! Thank you again so much.”

Cam S.

“Rui was amazing! This was our first time leaving our pup, and she made us feel completely comfortable and confident. Our dog has separation anxiety, but Junie warmed up to Rui quickly, which meant so much to us. Rui was patient and attentive in meeting her needs, kept us updated with regular photos and videos, and truly cared for Junie like her own. We’re so grateful and would absolutely book with her again ♥️”
