4. Amy M.
“Happy Dog Pet Care (Amy Mawyer) kept our 13 year old mixed breed terrier for 2 days/nights while we were out of town. We made an appointment beforehand to check out the home and also so our dog would already know the place when we dropped her off. HDPC was conveniently located for us near the West End of Richmond and right off of 295 at 95. Amy has one small dog and one or two cats of her own. My dog got along with them fine. There were 2 other larger dogs there the same weekend which was not a problem as our dog gets along with other dogs and is older so she pretty much just sleeps a lot these days. Amy had actually been contacted about keeping another dog the same weekend as my dog but the breed had aggressive tendencies so she did not take the dog for the weekend. She notified me of this beforehand and kept me posted on things. I received an e-mail each day I was gone telling me how my dog was doing. Amy makes homemade dog treats for the dogs and my dog even got doggy ice cream one day! The home was clean and there was water set out for the dogs both inside and out. There is a large fenced in backyard which my dog enjoyed. We will definitely be using HDPC and DogVacay again!!”
