“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.”


“Absolutely recommend Amy for doggie day care! It’s a chance for my pup to socialize and give me a break so I can work from home peacefully and know she’s being well taken care of it.”


“Ruben has been doing great caring for my Doberman, Bounce while we are at work! Bounce loves going there and playing ball and going on walks and playing with Rubens dog. He comes home tired and happy every time”


About: I treat each pet as an individual first, catering to their specific needs. I provide care, attention, and of course, love as if they were my own friends, hoping that they will be soon. Rover is my current focus; your pet will receive as much attention as they need. With a flexible schedule, I can come to you or have them come to me. There's a large unfenced back yard, quick access to the river, and nature walks on Belle Isle. I provide a clean and well thermoregulated house for the hot summer months, with a room dedicated just for the pets, though not restricting them to the room.

“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!”


“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!”


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!

“Kat was literally a LIFESAVER. I needed someone to watch my anxious boy last minute and she agreed to watch him so quickly and took such good care of him. Communication was excellent too!”


“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!”


“Joleya helped my pup feel right at home! She provided a safe and comforting environment for my pup while I was in the office during the day. She was prompt with responses and reassuring.”


“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.”

“Aliza was awesome! She was available at a somewhat last minute request. She was very responsive and Rusty seemed to have a great time. Aliza was also very timely and I didn’t have to wait at all for drop off and pick up :) would definitely use again!”


About: Puppy sitting for my perfect nephew (Rocky) for the last five years in San Diego inspired me to help others in Richmond now that I call it my home. In college I fostered kittens that were too young to be adopted to help build socialization skills with people. I grew up always having both a dog and cat in the home and can’t wait to rescue someone of my own here soon 😊. I live and work in the Willow Lawn area and love to get out for many walks. I live an active life and love the outdoors. I am happily available for boarding, daycare or walks but currently prefer weekends over weekdays as I work from an office down the road from home. Advance notice to schedule boarding is greatly appreciated to plan ahead with my schedule. It is just me at home with a fenced in spacious backyard and quiet street full of neighborhood fur friends to meet along our walks!

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!

“Toffee could not have been happier to return to Amanda's for some last minute day care.”


Leah W.
“Leah is a wonderful person and an outstanding pet caregiver! When she adopted a fearful rescue dog, she showed him nothing but love and patience and taught him how to be comfortable around others. She continues to give him an amazing life, and I know she would do just the same for any other pet that she was responsible for. I would absolutely trust her with my own pets- she is responsible and caring, and any pet would be lucky to have her company.”
