Doggy Day Care in Elkhardt, Richmond, VA

“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”

“Cindy is great, I believe this is my third time dropping Olee with her. He loves playing with her other dogs and is always tuckered out after.”

“Emily was such a bright person and an expert at taking care of dogs. I felt so comfortable leaving my dog with her. My dog seemed happy and well-cared for when I returned. I highly recommend Emily as a dog sitter.”

“Phoebe LOVES going to daycare every week; I think she’s starting to learn which day it’s on. She’s been gaining confidence, learning new skills, and making friends while I’m at work, and I’m so grateful I found y’all!”

“We had some last minute work being done at our house and wanted to get the dog out for the day, and Dahlia and Jalen were wonderful and let us drop Jester off super last minute! Our pup had a great time with them as always and I expect she’ll be very tuckered out for the rest of the weekend. Thank you again!!!”

“Very accommodating and good communication!”

“Dawn was a true lifesaver when we were in town for my daughter's graduation, and needed help watching our pup who has separation anxiety. She remained flexible throughout our weekend of constantly changing plans. She had great communication and feedback and I always knew that our pup was doing well at her house in her care. Thank you for taking such great care of Enzo, and helping to make graduation weekend a success, Dawn!”

“Carleen was great! She accepted my last minute request and was happy to have my pup for the day. She was very welcoming and made sure that my dog was taken care of as I asked.”

“Julie was a delight to have host our dog Morty for daycare. She is an exceptional communicator and made Morty feel right at home.”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

“Entrusting Alexis with your pets I highly recommend. She is loving, attentive and professional. From what I have witnessed with her own pets she goes the extra mile from making sure they are properly groomed and well taken care of. She ensures they go for walks, go potty and eat on a daily. If you want an individual who goes above and beyond, Alexis is the woman for the job!”

“John did an incredible job with my Akita puppy Bear who was quite timid to meet new dogs. John was incredible calm, patient, attentive and loving with Bear, helping him acclimate to a new environment and meet new friends. I will definitely utilize his services in the future !”

“Maggie is a wonderful sitter. She is conscientious and low-key, which was just perfect for our dogs. They were relaxed with Maggie and her family, and we could relax, knowing that our beloved girls were in good hands. We will happily leave our dogs with Maggie when we visit Richmond next. Our dogs, Aoife and Schnuggi, are Bernese Mt. Dogs.”

About: I am a firm believer that dogs are our best friends. Dogs deserve all the love and devotion they show us. I would love to drop by for a quick visit or a walk, or if you need care for longer my wife and our dog Belle would love to host your furry friend. Our backyard, quiet neighborhood, and proximity to the James River Park System is perfect for play time and longer walks. If you’re looking for a reliable friendly caretaker and or a fun place to stay for your pet, look no further. This is my full time commitment at the moment so pet care will be my top priority. My dog Belle gets all of the attention and won’t mind sharing. I have a fenced in yard at home that I share with my wife and our dog Belle. When it’s not too hot Belle gets a long walk every day, and can go in and out to the yard as she pleases. I will ensure I give the same level of care to your dog as I would my own both in and out of my home.

“Ashley took great care of my Facui. She get very nervous in new environments, but Ashley took her in like she was one of her own. Provided numerous photos of playtime. Very flexible and accommodating.”

“I was so glad I was able to depend on AJ for his daycare support with Ace. He was very helpful, kept conversation and made my first time a great experience. I highly recommend you book with AJ. I look forward to booking with him very soon.”

About: For most of my life, I have owned, loved, boarded, fostered, and/or cared for a broad range of animals, including dogs (small and large), cats (domesticated and feral), hamsters, rabbits, chickens, fish, one gerbil, one parrot, and a handful of reptiles. (I've also spent some time on farms learning husbandry.) From this comes experience with the full cycle of life with companion animals - birth, adolescence, training, advancements, setbacks, accidents, illness, aging, and loss. I'm no stranger to providing extra potty breaks for puppies (our interests are mutually aligned) or with giving daily medications. For the first time in many years, my home is without a pet of my own - let me dote on yours when you can't. I'm a retired(ish) attorney and veteran now working from home with plenty of time and attention to give to your fur babies. Regular walks and exercise are an important part of our routine. My property is ~ 2 acres, large portions of which are fenced but couldn't be properly described as secured. Your dog's temperament will determine whether it can roam / play / fetch unleashed, but in no event will dogs be outside unattended. Inside, I try to make my home as welcoming and comforting for your pets as I would hope would be done for mine - animals are allowed on the furniture and are invited to sleep where they please, unless you instruct otherwise.

“You can’t beat Colby for kind, attentive care for your dog. He’s got lots of experience and goes the distance for your pet and you.”

“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!”

“I have a small Chihuahua . When she was born I couldn't get her too eat so siah sat and helped me feed my new puppy and showed me what to do for hours and he always came and checked on her and made sure she was in tip top shape .”
