Pet Boarding Lanexa

“Immediately connected with our lab. Flexible on dropping off/pickup hours. Fenced yard. Even had a lab sized dog bed available. Works from home so our dog didn’t need crating. Highly recommended.”

“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!”

“Chewy came home happy, healthy, and tired. Connor was really accommodating to our schedule changes and even made sure Chewy was walked right before I picked him up! I really appreciate it!”

“Alexandria and her husband were awesome! I was hesitant as a new dog owner but they were so kind and patient. I got multiple updates as well as tons of cute pictures. Their response time was quick and drop off/pickup was convenient. I would definitely recommend them and look forward to using them again in the future!”

“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.”

About: Worked as a veterinary assistant and have experience caring for cats, dogs, reptiles, horses, and farm animals. Also have experience working with scared or aggressive animals I am a student, so I have a flexible schedule and would love to care for animals during study breaks to make some extra money I always am thoughtful about the animals and pay lots of attention to what they need and are telling me. I make sure the animal is comfortable and happy

About: As the owner of high energy pets, I am an expert at walks and enrichment. I love animals and am often the first person my friends and family ask to watch their pets when they go out of town. I have a flexible schedule and can be available to care for your pets! On weekends, I am available for petting sitting or long walkies. I have a fenced yard and a neighborhood that is good for walks. I have two pets of my own, a service dog dropout and a cat that likes dogs more than people. I am also willing to drive to your home to care for your pets.

I really love animals and their unique personalities. Consider me to be a loving pet sitter for your animal for you

“Andrade is fantastic! Finn was made part of the family and enjoyed playing with her dogs, although we are still teaching him puppy manners and he is quick to claim everything and everyone as his own! The pictures and videos were so much fun to receive. It made me feel secure that he was happy and being well cared for. I was a little worried he might not want to come home!!! We will definitely use Andrade again and cannot recommend her highly enough!”

Allison C.

“Travis was phenomenal!!! My dog definitely felt like he was home. Travis and his family welcomed Fender with open arms, and he was very accommodating. Will most definitely use Travis again!!!”

About: I have been a foster parent for a local rescue for over 2 years. I have had dogs of my own for the last 30 years. I love my dogs like they were my children. Dogs are family and deserve to be treated like they are just that, valued family members. I current work from home and the dogs in my house are free to roam all day. We take breaks and enjoy walking around the quiet neighborhood. I may not have a fenced yard but that will not keep your dog from being exercised or safe. I leashed walk my own dogs many times per day. I have crates available if needed. I have fostered all kinds of dogs from high energy to couch potatoes.

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.

About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and genuinely love caring for them. To me, every dog deserves patience, kindness, and plenty of attention. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or simply relaxing with good company, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. I understand that every dog has a unique personality and routine, so I’ll follow your care instructions carefully—from feeding schedules and medications to favorite toys and walking habits. My goal is to treat your dog like a member of my own family, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring, reliable hands. Please note, we board on family at a time, we do not cage the dogs. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily routine because I work from home, and my wife is home full-time. This means your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We have a clean, safe, and pet-friendly home where dogs can feel comfortable and relaxed. Whether it’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing affection and companionship, we’re committed to making every pet feel like part of the family while they’re in our care. I care for every pet as if they were my own. I follow each owner’s instructions carefully, including feeding schedules, exercise routines, medications, and any special needs or preferences. I make sure pets receive plenty of attention, affection, playtime, and regular potty breaks while maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. In my home, pets stay in a clean, safe, and comfortable environment where they are supervised throughout the day. Since I work from home and my wife is home full-time, your pet will have lots of companionship and won’t be left alone for extended periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect both the pet’s routine and the owner’s home. I provide reliable, attentive care, keep the space tidy, and send regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind while you’re away.

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.

“Julissa is an amazing dog sitter! She took care of my two dogs and went above and beyond to make sure they were happy and healthy. She provided frequent updates with pictures and videos, which was so reassuring while I was away. Julissa bonded with my dogs and provided them with great care. She fed them on time, provided lots of playtime, and walked them frequently. I would highly recommend Julissa to anyone looking for a caring and responsible dog sitter. Thank you, Julissa, for taking such great care of my furry friends! 🐾🐾”

About: I've grown up with and taken care of pets my whole life. I'm looking for an opportunity to spend more time with them, while creating lasting relationships with owners who may be looking for care over-time. I take evening and morning walks on my own and would love to have a pup join me in company! I am home most weekends and happy to house your dog in my home while you're away. We have a cat that is friendly and keeps to herself most of the time. My mornings and evenings consist of walks, so I'm always getting out for fresh air and exercise myself - why not have adorable company! My boyfriend and I have a small, but fenced in patio with strips of yard perfect for enjoying outside time. Our indoor cat is friendly and keeps to herself most of the time, but also cuddly if your dog gets along with other pets. We would love to have another furry friend around we would treat just as family :)

“Kayla was very professional and patient I would highly recommend anybody to her she does a fabulous job thank you again Kayla I hope you can dog sit for me again in the future anytime.????”

About: I've taken care of my own pets and all of my friends and family pets. I've had almost everything from chinchillas, to guinea pigs, to leopard geckos, to a bearded dragon and of course cats and dogs! I dedicate my time to my pet care and dog training so outside of running errands and my dog training appointments, my time is pretty open! I have experience with animal handling from my various jobs involving animals such as being a dog groomer, dog daycare attendant, and also a dog trainer.
