Doggy Day Care in Gilpin, Richmond, VA

“Matt is responsive and punctual. He goes above and beyond and has updated his house and yard to be the best pup party zone ever! My dog and I are glad we found him.”

“Ruben was great with my Lily and it was a bonus that she had other dogs to play with. She’s a puppy so it’s important that she socializes as much as possible with other dogs and have a place to run around in. We will be booking again”

Hi there, I’m Raven, and I’m glad you’re here. At Doggy Adventures, my mission is to create safe, joyful, and unforgettable adventures for dogs while giving owners peace of mind. Every pup in my care gets personal attention, plenty of love, and an environment where tails never stop wagging. Pet care is a big part of my daily life. With Doggy Adventures, I spend most of my day making sure every dog gets plenty of attention, exercise, and care. That being said, I usually have a lot of dogs in my care, and because of that and limited staff, I’m unable to accept dogs with severe anxiety or puppies who may need more one-on-one attention. However, feel free to reach out, and we can chat to see if it's a good fit! When caring for pets in my home or at a client’s home, I focus on creating a calm and safe environment where they feel comfortable and well taken care of. I follow any specific routines or requests you have to keep things consistent for your pet, from feeding and bathroom schedules to playtime and cuddle sessions.

“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!”

“When I dropped off my puppy, Skye, her tail was between her legs and when I returned that night, she was giving Amber kisses! Skye is very unsure of new people and it takes her time to warm up. Amber was very patient and caring with Skye and sent photos. When I arrived for pick up, Amber was literally dancing with Skye to get her comfortable around people making sudden movements. Thank you Amber! I will be using her services again.”

“Ariel was absolutely wonderful taking care of Georgie all day! Her own dogs were sweet and well behaved, and Georgie adored being a member of the pack, and playing with her daughter. My absolute highest recommendation!!”

“This was Luna’s first day with Julie. She was happy when I picked her up and seemed to enjoy herself. We have another day scheduled in a week.”

About: I have been a pet sitter since I was a child. I started when I was about 11 years old and grew up in a house of 4 dogs and a cat that I would spend a lot of my free time training. I now have a 6 year old mini dachshund that I spend my time with while working from home. I work from home so I have free time all throughout the week to tend to your pets needs. My work is project based so I can get up and take your pet out however much is needed. I ensure pets feel comfortable by sticking to their routines, providing exercise, and offer quality company. I prioritize cleanliness and safety, keeping their space secure and well-maintained the same way I would my own.

“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 !”

Cathie M.

“This was my first time leaving my pup and Matthew made it so easy! He sent lots of pictures of Jackson throughout the day, cuddling and playing with him. I’ll definitely be booking him again soon!”

Megan E.

“Ashley did a great job caring for our dog for the day - flexible with drop off and good communication! Thanks!”

About: Hi! I’m Taylor — a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for pups of all ages and personalities. I had my own dog for almost 16 wonderful years, and she was truly a beloved part of my life. After she passed, I began fostering because I couldn’t imagine life without dogs. I’ve now fostered several dogs, each with their own needs, quirks, and snuggle preferences. I’m patient, attentive, and love helping dogs feel safe, loved, and comfortable — whether that means giving extra cuddles, creating calm routines, or simply being a reassuring presence. I’m also a very active person, so if your dog enjoys long walks or even going for runs, I’m happy to match their energy. High-energy pups are always welcome! My goal is to make your dog feel at home and give you complete peace of mind while you’re away. I’d love to meet your furry family member and care for them like my own. I work 100% remote so spend the majority of my day at home and would be with your furry friend. I am able to easily bake in walks and playtime during my workday to ensure they get the attention and exercise they need! We have a nice porch and a fenced in yard for your pup to enjoy time outside without worry. We also have a crate here for up to 70 lbs dog and can safely crate your pet to ensure they are comfortable and safe if left alone.

“Thanks for taking great care of Suki!”

Andrea H.

“Jasmine was a total lifesaver with her ability to take my puppy in with less than a day’s notice. She took such excellent care of Runa, keeping her actively engaged in various activities as well as keeping me posted throughout the day. Runa is home now and sleeping like a rock. Couldn’t recommend Jasmine more.”

Jordan M.

“Alexandra was great! I was nervous about Molly, but Alexandra reassured me that she was a good girl during her stay. Highly recommend booking with her, and she sends the cutest pics of your pup! :)”

“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available. She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”

Alison H.

“Would absolutely leave Jasper again!”
