Doggy Day Care in Forest Hill Terrace, 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”

“Eddie had a blast with Cindy!! She sent us so many pictures and updates that made us able to enjoy our time away from him and know he was being well loved. She was very accommodating with pick up and drop off as well. We can’t wait to use her again!”

Abbie S.

“Myrna was fantastic. She has a pool for all the doggies. She sent photos and communited throughout Starbuck's stay. Starbuck had such a great time that when we picked her up she didn't want to leave. We will definitely be using Myrna again!”

“Julie was so accommodating and sweet with our little Lola. Having a backyard to run around in was great! We’ll definitely be having Julie watch Lola anytime we are headed out of town!”

“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!”

“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!”

“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 !”

About: When in the care of my partner and I, pets are enriched and have plenty of opportunity for activity. If your dog enjoys swimming, I can take them to a nearby creek to play. I have a large yard for playing fetch, or just hanging out, and a spunky lab mix that is happy to play tug-o-war. I've always had dogs and cats, and for a short time, pet rats (they're lovely!). I come from a long line of animal lovers and continue that legacy. You can check out my pets’ Instagram at @mystic_whiskers_ I am very attentive to animals and put them at ease so they settle into their home away from home. I have a flexible job that allows me to work from home, so I am flexible with pick-up and drop-off times unless otherwise communicated. I am in RVA most weekends as well. I have a fenced backyard and a dog and 2 cats. The cats have been around other dogs, and Eddy the dog loves other dogs- he has lots of energy to share!

“Very accommodating and good communication!”

About: Hi, I’m Leah – your pups new favorite person! As someone who has previously owned/inherited 3 dogs, I know how hard it is to leave your best friend with anyone that’s not you. That’s why I don’t take this responsibility lightly—your dog’s safety, happiness, and comfort come first! I grew up with dogs and have spent my life around wagging tails and unconditional love. Whether your pup loves long walks FULL of sniffs, tug-of-war, or just cuddles on cuddles, I’ll make sure they feel loved and at home. I’ve also cared for reactive dogs in the past—including my own—so I really understand how important it is to create a calm, safe space where they can feel secure. I know every pup is different, and I always lead with patience, empathy, and lots of love. Think of me as your dog’s vacation buddy while you're away💕 I work from home and am mostly always home during the evenings. I don’t have meetings too much so I can take your pup out and about as many times as you’d like. I have an apartment but live right beside a green space. I also love taking pups on car rides so happy to take them on hikes or go to the river!

“First time using Rover and Kat was the best sitter for my dog! Clearly very experienced with dogs and cares well for the ones she watches. Kept me reassured throughout the day with cute photos of my dog and her awesome dog, Luna, having fun. Will definitely use her again in the future!”

Edgar M.

“Tim and his wife are very pleasant and I was even invited inside their cozy living room. Nice neighborhood and they have a nice yard in the back. Also, our communication before and during Anis stay was very easy. I’d definitely book again.”

Antonio W.

“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!”

“Bonnie loved her day with Kyla will definitely be repeat customers”

Christopher C.

“Reese's stay was amazing with Nicholas and his pup! Our girl is high energy and came home tired and happy. We got pictures of her having her best day both outside playing and inside napping, which we appreciated on this hot summer day. We will definitely be repeat customers. Thank you!”

About: Taken care of dogs and cats since middle school. I’m the go to for house sitting, pet sitting and tidying in my family. If that is your cup, book me! I teach from home part time w a lot of flexibility. At this time I have a lotta in between time and since I work east coast hours most days I am done really early! I make sure to follow your pets normal schedule and routine so they are happy and healthy upon your return home! I will love and care for your pet as if they are my own.

About: Hi!! My name is Emily and I’ve been an animal lover for as long as I can remember! I grew up surrounded by so many pets and have a few of my own now which I love with my whole heart! Would do anything for them, as I know you would for your fur babies too!! Trusting someone with your pet(s) is a big deal, especially if it’s your first time being apart - I get it! I’d love to be able to help ease any worries or concerns by making sure they have the best time and get all the love they need while you’re away. I love sharing as many updates / photos during my stays/visits, as I would hope a sitter would do for me, too. 🥰 I have been pet sitting as well as house sitting / babysitting & professional nannying for years! I figured it would be so great to broaden my portfolio and create a rover profile to connect with more families and pets in the area. 😊 I do work full time, but work remotely with a very flexible schedule! I am currently wanting to add side gigs to help pay for my upcoming wedding in 2026. 🥰 I try and keep my availability updated daily! Please send me a message with any questions. A teeny bit make about my background with pets - I can administer medications, am great with senior dogs, high energy pups, special needs assistance and puppy training. Great with walks and play time as well! Absolutely love all the snuggles too. A bit about rover - Rover will collect about 20% of my listed rate per each booking, as well as the 8% service charge you are charged through the platform. Ask me about my rover discount, and about returning customer rates too! ❤️ I work from home so am very flexible with my schedule. I can overnight sit as well as house dogs in my home without needing to leave them unattended! They’ll always have someone to snuggle. I’m flexible with daytime / evening drop ins as well. I can care both in and out of my home. Whichever you prefer. We have a large fenced in yard and a lovely screened porch too!

“Ingrid was able to watch my two boys last minute and I couldn't be more grateful for well she handled them!”
