Doggy Day Care in Chippenham Forest, Richmond, VA

“Sorry for the late review. I've been doing the grandma thing for the past 2 weeks. I am a widow and I live alone many miles from family. My dogs, Margot and Molly, have become my life. When I learned that they were not invited to the party, I almost declined the invitation. Through a trusted friend, I learned about Rover. I took a chance and booked a time with Dawn. WOW! It's like taking your child to kindergarten for the first day and they walk away from you without looking back. I like to think the girls are good judges of character. Well Dawn took their leashes and they walked away from me without looking back They were not the least stressed when I picked them up later. They had play time with other dogs, they had their dinner and they were ready for a good night's sleep when I picked them up. I got updates on where they were and what they were doing. I couldn't be happier than I was with Dawn's care. This experience was a golden buzzer for me.”

“Caroline is very friendly and responsive. She immediately clicked with my mini poodle after their first meeting. She sends great pictures and video updates so you know how your baby is doing throughout the day. I would definitely recommend her for daycare.”

“Cindy is a wonder! My scaredy-dog loves her, and went to her willingly even though it had been a long time since his last visit. She asked if I’d like her to give him a bath, and that was a very welcome addition. Thank you Cindy!”

“I feel so lucky that we found Virginia! She took our high energy dog in very last minute and provided her with phenomenal care. Virginia was responsive and sent a ton of pictures throughout her stay, which my partner and I really appreciated. I definitely hope to book with her again in the future!”

About: I bring over 10 years of dog care experience and 5+ years managing a stable multi-dog group. I carefully watch body language, work to prevent issues early, and keep feeding routines steady so each dog feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for. I’m comfortable working with multi-dog households, different energy levels, and group dynamics. My focus is creating a safe, structured, and positive environment where dogs can socialize, play, and settle comfortably. Pet care is part of my daily life. I’m home throughout the day and organize my schedule around the dogs in my care so they receive consistent supervision, play, and individual attention. I have a fenced backyard and fenced front yard, giving dogs safe space to move, explore, and play. Inside, I provide a dedicated dog room and crates for dogs of all sizes, creating a comfortable and secure place to rest when needed. Dogs are thoughtfully grouped by temperament, with attention to proper rest rotation and consistent feeding routines to support balance and comfort. Whether in my home or a client’s home, I focus on safety, supervision, and each dog’s individual needs. I follow established routines closely, maintain a steady and secure environment, and make sure every dog feels comfortable, cared for, and at ease.

About: Hi there! My name is Gaby and my partner’s name is Sawyer and if you’re looking for someone to love your baby(ies) and treat them like their own - you’ve found the right people! We have both grown up surrounded by pets our whole lives, are currently proud dog parents to two boys, and have yet to come across a pet we aren’t obsessed with. We know how stressful it can be to trust someone with your fur baby so we try to ease any concerns as best we can with constant communication including updates and pictures so you never feel like your pet is too far! 🥰 My partner and I have both taken care of dogs of all kinds, from senior dogs to raising 3+ litters - we’ve seen it all and we’re not worried about getting our paws dirty. Our background with dogs means we are both comfortable administering medication and caring for any special needs. We’ve dealt with gentle giants, high energy pups, cranky senior dogs, and more. On top of that, we have a fenced in backyard for our furry guests to roam around in! I work from home every day so I will be with your pet all day, keeping them constant company! Aside from having the fenced in backyard which they will have access to, we go on at least two walks a day, sometimes a third in the afternoon depending on the heat. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs to keep your furry friend company. We have separate floors and rooms so we have more than enough space for crates and to keep dogs separate if needed! We are big snugglers though!!

“Nick and family are absolutely wonderful to work with and they are true dog lovers. My needy pup just loves being there and she is so happy hanging out with her new dog buddy. I am thrilled that she is getting more exercise and socialization.”

About: Hi i am Ingrid ♥️I have 15 years of experience based on my own pet and that of my friends since they always left them taking care of pets for my taste. I really love them very much I take care of these beautiful furry ones together with my husband. We are a happy and peaceful marriage where your beautiful puppy will be calm and at peace My daily routine fits perfectly, I love to provide enough time for good pet care. I consider the time I have available on a daily basis is considerable to provide a comprehensive service to your pet. I dedicate time to play with them, I take them for a walk, play a game so that they get distracted and I play with their favorite toys. I love taking them out for a walk because it's the time where they get happiest. If they need a bath, I give them to them. It's different. It depends on the need of each pet and its owner.

“William was great with Church and very attentive throughout the day. He made sure Church was comfortable, safe, and well cared for, and I appreciated the communication and updates. It gave me peace of mind knowing Church was in good hands. I would definitely book again and recommend him to others looking for reliable doggy day care.”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or feeding, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Why Choose Me? ✔ Patient, attentive, and reliable ✔ Clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment ✔ Regular updates with photos and messages ✔ Genuinely love spending time with animals I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for play and socialization. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Your dog will never be left alone for long and will be treated like part of the family. I care for pets as if they were my own, with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. I also have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet, safe space to relax.

About: I’ve been caring for my own dogs and cats—as well as my neighbors’ pets—since childhood. I have always had one or more rescue dogs and am currently in the process of becoming a certified dog trainer. I am naturally conscientious and detail-oriented, and aim to provide a retreat-like stay for your dog—giving you peace of mind and returning them to you happy and tired! I have several sizes of pet beds, dog stairs and ramp, a crate, bowls including an automatic water dispenser and slow feeders, toys, bones, treats, games, etc; the only thing you will need to bring is your dog’s food but I am happy to take any other items that may make your dog more comfortable; please let me know if your dog should stick to food/treats you provide. I work from home, which allows me to easily coordinate feedings, walks, playtime, and any necessary medications. I also prefer to spend most of my time at home, so your dog will receive lots of dedicated attention and love! I truly enjoy getting to know each dog as an individual and providing an environment and activities best suited to their particular needs and personality. I have a large yard that’s securely fenced in both the front and back, giving your dog plenty of safe space to roam and play. When I’m home, I often leave the back door open so dogs can come and go as they please. I value clear communication and will provide consistent updates. I understand the trust involved in allowing someone else to care for a beloved pet, and I take that responsibility seriously. I will treat both your pet and your home with the utmost care and respect. I am able to board several dogs at a time but meet all dogs beforehand and don’t accept more than 1 new guest at a time. If you prefer your dog to be the only guest please let me know and I am happy to accommodate if I have no prior bookings. I am not able to take dogs that are not fully house trained or mark inside the home. I always feed separately as a precaution.
