Pet Boarding Lanexa

“Beverley is amazing with our fur baby Ember! She gives updates to keep us at ease. Our puppy is comfortable there and warms right up as soon as she arrives. We’re so glad we found a trusted sitter through Rover and couldn’t be more pleased with her services. We will always rebook with her!”

About: I frequently dogsit for friends and family, and I've had my soul-dog for 5 years! She's a rescue shepherd-husky mix and has taught me SO much about training and caring for a smart, high-energy dog! She's entering her senior years and has slowed down a lot, which means I have more time in my day to care for other pups, whether it's a check-in, walk, or boarding in my home. I have a fenced front and back yard, and with my location in Church Hill, there are countless places to walk and explore. I currently work from home 95% of the time! The other 5% is a mix of working at coffee shops and going in to my work's coworking space, but I'm never away from home for more than 8 hours a day. My days are very flexible and I'm happy to work around you and your pup's schedule! I have a fenced front yard that is grassy and a shady, fenced back patio/yard that pups can run around in. I only take 1 boarding or day-care client at a time, so your dog gets my full attention (alongside my pup!). Your dog must be friendly around other dogs for boarding or day care.

“Nancy is the BEST!!! My dog, Milo really enjoyed his stay with Nancy. He adjusted very quickly to staying with her and she took really good care of him. I am sure he is looking forward to his next visit with her! Thanks Nancy for everything!”

“After my initial sitter canceled on me, Annabelle came to the rescue. She and her family were willing to do a meet and greet on short notice. And then they took excellent care of Gemma and provided me daily updates, pictures, and videos. Annabelle is now first on my list of sitters. I look forward to the next time Gemma stays with her. Highly recommend!!!!”

About: I am a dog lover who has a mini Bernedoodle. I have had senior dogs and dogs with extensive medical needs. I am able to administer meds in any way shape or form and have done the off leash K9 training with two of my own dogs now, so am aware of some basic commands. My husband and I both work from home full time. We have a great back yard for your pet to run around in with our sweet boy Winston. I have one sweet young dog who would love an occasional dog visitor and playmate. I will treat your pet just like I do, which one may define as a bit on the spoiled side!

“We absolutely love having a sitter near our home that we can trust and reuse over and over. Blanco is one of the family and I know when I’m away he is enjoying his time and being well kept as well as I will have many updates as to how much fun he is having. We adore Alexandria and her family!!! Thanks for all you do for ours”

“Wow!! Could not be any happier. Miss Kim went “above & beyond” in every aspect of caring for our 8 Mo old Basset for a week. She is a true dog whisperer. Gave us some good advice as well due to her experience. Will definitely look her up in the future. Mac was super happy, super clean and had a great week. We used a kennel in the past and it didn’t work out so well. Thank you so very much.”

“She was awesome! Was able to take our dog last minute She was very communicative”

About: Hi! I have years of experience owning and taking care of dogs, cats, horses, goats and all manor of livestock. I love animals and would love to help you take care of yours while you travel or work. I enjoy walking and playing with clients pets as if they were my own. I currently own a standard poodle and love spending time with her. I grew up with horses and also worked a few jobs on a horse farm. I have also lived on a farm for the last 13 years and we have had all kinds of animals to take care of. Dogs, cats, rabbits, goats, pigs, cows, you name it. I would very much look forward to helping my clients out anyway I can.

“This was my pup’s second stay with Michelle and it went just as smoothly as the first time. I always get nervous leaving my dog for any period of time, but especially for long trips. Michelle is thoughtful and welcoming and does an amazing job taking care of my dog.”

“I will use Jeannie over and over again! She was very kind and communicative from start to finish. My dog was very happy with her and she was flexible with me for pick up time which was very much appreciated.”

About: I have taken care of animals since I was 7 years old and professionally since I was 18 years old. I love ALL animals. I have experience with the following animals: Bearded Dragons, Cats, Dogs, Ferrets, Rabbits, Fish, Hamsters, and Birds. I know how to administer shots and give medications orally to Cats, Dogs, and Ferrets. I believe that pets aren't pets - they are family. I live in a house with my husband, 15 month old toddler, and 2 kitties. I work a 9-5 full time job but can take breaks to help with walks, potty breaks, and feedings. I promise to give all of the love and attention your animal needs. If you have any questions or need any additional information, please reach out to me. Thank you! I have a full-time job however, I can take breaks throughout the day to attend to your animal's needs (walks, potty breaks, food, etc.). I have full availability on the weekends. I have 2 cats who get along with other animals. They roam around the house and tend to do their own thing. Staying in client homes, I will only use items/rooms that I am told can be used. I ALWAYS clean up after myself and will do light housework if asked/needed.

“It was a pleasure to have Bean stay with Allejah. She was a sweetheart and so accommodating! I will definitely be booking again. She was extremely considerate of any changes made, as well as any potential problem Bean ran into! <3”

“Ashton was very patient with my anxious spaniel and managed to make her feel secure and confident enough to play with her own dog. It was such a relief to know that my dog felt happy, playful, and secure away from home. I’ll certainly call on her in the future for pet sitting and perhaps even playtime for my dog, who now seems eager to make new canine friends. This development has been a real breakthrough for my once-timid and fearful spaniel.”

About: Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them has always been my passion. I have hands-on experience with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, pigs, reptiles, birds, and even marine mammals such as dolphins and sea lions. I worked as a veterinary nurse for six years, so I have the knowledge and experience to recognize your pet’s individual needs and provide attentive, compassionate care. Whether your pet is young, senior, energetic, shy, or has special medical needs, you can trust that they will be treated like family while they’re in my care. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing a safe, loving, and reliable environment where your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I currently work remotely and have a flexible schedule to work with you and your pets needs. I can pop in when needed or can be available for pet sitting. Whatever your pet may need I can cater to. Whether it be walks, jogs, feeding, playing, medication administration or even pet sitting, I'm your gal.

“My husband and I needed to find a sitter last minute before our week long vacation. We had never done this before and were a little unsure, but after the meet and greet with Raquel, we felt much better! We got pictures every day and she was very responsive if we had any questions/concerns. We were very happy with how well Reese was cared for and she had the best time. We will definitely be booking again with Raquel in the future!”

“Triston was wonderful! I have a very nervous and reactive pup and he met her where she was. Let us come for a meet & greet, stayed in touch with me when I was away, and cared for Stella just as I would've. Definitely recommend :)”

“Jazmine really helped us out in the 11th hour, 2 days ahead of our holiday weekend plans, and took wonderful care of our pupper, Sully! Jazmine’s cats and her dog, Daisy, were so sweet and they all seemed to get along very well too! Jazmine even picked Sully up and dropped him off at our home, which was so helpful to me. I really appreciated Jazmine’s professionalism, hospitality, kindness and communication from the moment we had our meet-and-greet until the end of the booking. I would definitely work with her again! Thank you, Jazmine!”

About: I have worked with dogs all my life and have been caring for them professionally since 2014. I began by interning with a professional dog trainer and gained hands-on experience working with dogs of many personalities, including fearful, nervous, and anxious dogs. I then began boarding dogs in my home part-time in 2016 and transitioned to full-time boarding in January 2019. Since then, I have continued expanding my knowledge through continuing education in dog behavior, safety, and life-saving skills. I have also volunteered with Richmond Animal Care and Control, working both in the shelter and with foster animals. Over the years, I have cared for dogs with a wide range of needs, including daily medications, mobility limitations, behavioral quirks, and dogs who simply need extra patience and understanding. I also previously hosted supervised off-leash pack walks with groups of up to 20 dogs of different sizes, ages, and temperaments, which gave me extensive experience reading canine body language and managing group dynamics. What I believe sets me apart is that dog boarding is not something I do occasionally—it is what I do full-time. I am home nearly all the time, which allows me to provide consistency, supervision, and a predictable routine. I pay close attention to each dog's body language and personality so I can recognize when they want to play, when they need a break, and when they are becoming overstimulated. Most importantly, I genuinely enjoy earning a dog's trust. My goal is for every dog who stays with me to feel safe, understood, and cared for while their family is away. Dog boarding is my full-time work, so caring for the dogs in my home is my primary daily routine. I am home with the dogs nearly all day, with only occasional short absences for errands or appointments. Because I am home so much, I’m able to provide a consistent, predictable schedule with regular potty breaks, supervised play, rest periods, meals, and plenty of one-on-one attention throughout the day. I take dogs outside approximately every 2–3 hours during the day, weather permitting, and all playtime is supervised. When I do need to leave the house briefly, the dogs are safely crated until I return. I also maintain a consistent evening routine and overnight schedule so dogs know what to expect during their stay. My goal is to make boarding feel less like being away from home and more like having a comfortable, structured vacation of their own. Safety and trust are at the heart of the way I care for dogs in my home. With five resident dogs and years of experience boarding dogs full-time, I have developed a structured approach that allows dogs with different personalities and needs to share the home safely and comfortably. Every visiting dog receives a slow, one-at-a-time introduction to my resident dogs. I pay close attention to body language and allow dogs time to become comfortable before introducing the next dog. I also keep play groups relatively small, generally 4–8 dogs depending on their individual personalities and comfort levels. All indoor and outdoor play is supervised 100% of the time. Our home has a fully fenced backyard of approximately ⅓ acre, and dogs have regular supervised opportunities to go outside for potty breaks and play. When the weather isn't suitable for outdoor activity, we bring playtime indoors, where the dogs can spend supervised time with me in the living room and kitchen. I maintain a predictable routine of potty, play, rest, and repeat. Dogs are given appropriate rest periods throughout the day, including approximately 45 minutes of crate rest after meals to allow them to digest safely. Dogs are also safely crated when I am away from home and overnight. I have crates in a variety of sizes available, so owners do not need to bring their own. I want owners to feel comfortable being completely honest about their dog's personality, habits, fears, medical needs, and quirks. The more I know before a stay begins, the better I can prepare and provide individualized care. My goal is to create an environment where dogs are not only physically safe, but also feel secure, understood, and genuinely at home.
