Dog Boarding in Newtowne West, Richmond, VA

“Michelle did a wonderful job watching our boy Remy! He can be very shy and nervous in new environments but Michelle made him feel right at home. Loved getting the updates and photos while we were out of town. Highly recommend and will book again :)”

“During July 4th, we planned on going out of town for the weekend. We were impressed with Julie's rover profile and decided to contact her. We were able to meet up with her twice, once so that she could see our dog, and the second time so that Mozzie could check out her place. This was the first time since adopting him over a year ago that were had ever boarded him somewhere, so we were understandably nervous about it, but Julie proved to be a great sitter. She sent us status updates and pictures while we were away, so that we could know what Mozzie was up to. When we came to pick him up, she also helped us with tips and ideas on how to help Mozzie socialize with other dogs. We could definitely tell that Mozzie was in good hands. Definitely recommended!”

“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”

“Alex is so kind and provides the best care. My 5 year old Aussiedoodle is very nervous around new people and dogs. Alex was so mindful of her needs and helped her settle in quickly to a new place while we were away. She sent photos and updates which made me feel more at ease while on our trip. I will definitely board my dog with her again. I can’t recommend her enough!”

“Hilary and Willy were excellent hosts for Banjo! Our introduction started with a meet and greet, where Hilary spent a bit of time getting to know Banjo and ensuring she knew everything she could ahead of his stay. During his stay they sent several pics to let me know he was doing ok, which is always great when you're leaving your furry friend with new people. They took him for lots of walks and did whatever they could to make sure he was comfortable. Hilary and Willy are both super sweet people and I was very comfortable leaving Banjo in their care. It was evident upon first meeting that they really love spending time with animals and I didn't worry for one second that they would treat Banjo like he was their own. I will definitely use their services again!”

“Tiffany is amazing! This was the first time I boarded my Simba. I was so nervous. However, Simba was very well taken care of. Tiffany kept me updated with texts and pictures. She was professional and caring toward not only Simba but me as well. Simba truly enjoyed his stay. I don’t think he wanted to come home! I will definitely use Tiffany’s services again. If you want a reliable, patient, caring, and professional person to care for your pet, Tiffany is your person!!!”

About: Hi there! 😊 Currently in gradschool for speech-therapy with a flexible schedule, I have over 10 years of experience caring for special needs dogs, including those with Megaesophagus. I'm also passionate about rescuing both dogs and cats, and I’ve learned so much about understanding their unique personalities and behaviors. I truly love spending time with animals—especially pups who enjoy each other’s company! I bring lots of love, patience, and fun to every furry friend I meet. 🐾💛 Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine! I work part-time with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give pets the time and attention they need throughout the day. Whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening cuddles, I structure my day around the animals in my care. I also have experience caring for my own special needs dog, so I'm used to sticking to feeding schedules, administering care, and being attentive to each pet’s unique routine. I prioritize communication with pet parents and make sure every pet feels safe, loved, and well-cared for while you're away. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or my client’s, safety and comfort always come first. I take time to understand each pet’s personality, needs, and routine so I can create a calm, loving environment tailored to them. In my home, I offer a clean, pet-friendly space with no overwhelming noise or clutter—just a peaceful place for your pet to feel secure and relaxed. I supervise playtime, keep feeding and potty schedules consistent, and follow any special instructions you provide. In your home, I respect your space and routines just as much. I make sure your pet feels at ease by keeping things familiar—favorite toys, cozy spots, and walks in their usual neighborhood. I’m experienced with pets who need extra patience or medical attention, including my own dog who has a special feeding routine due to a condition. I treat every pet like family and provide regular updates so you feel connected and confident while you're away.
