Dog Boarding in Raines Tavern, VA

“My big boy had the pleasure of staying with Furry Friends Academy over the weekend as I had to travel out of town for family business! Let me say I was very hesitant about using Rover but was in a bind so I did and I’m so glad I did! My big boy had the best time of his life! He got to socialize with other people, dogs and became really good friends with another GSD! I got so many updated pictures it was as if he was with me! Then I literally just got these picture they took of him! I must say I am beyond impressed with the level of care and love he got! If you are in need of a pet sitter I can recommend them! #germanshepherdpuppy”

“I was in a bind. My friend couldn’t watch my dog for a planned trip very last minute. Gina and Christopher saved my vacation. It was so difficult to leave my doggie behind but Gina kept in touch consistently. My furbaby did great and was in awesome, loving hands!”

About: I have been caring for animals since I was a child. I love to stay active so you can be sure your pup will get his/her exercise in. I've also helped care for elderly dogs. I have a flexible work schedule which allows for very open availability during the week/weekends. The only preferred start time would be 9am Monday through Friday. I will care for your pet as if they were my own. Going on walks, playing catch, minor grooming are just a few things that I can provide.

“Layne did a wonderful job with Sandy. I was a little anxious at first leaving Sandy, but Layna kept me informed with updates daily, videos of there play time together outside. If you are looking for a dog sitter for any reason, you won't be disappointed.”

About: I'm a second generation dog sitter who started young; at the age of 6, I was going with my mom to her many pet sitting gigs. Now, I'm an independent pet sitter who has a ton of free time to hang out with your furbabies! My professional sitting experience includes the past 7 years of dedicated service to clients in Chesterfield, as well as the surrounding area. (References available! :) ) I'm willing to travel up to 60-75 miles from my home here in Powhatan, and I'm comfortable with any breed and size of dog, as well as cats, reptiles, and farm animals. I have experience administering medication, as well as handling special needs dogs. I'm usually available on short term notice, and can do late night and weekend visits. I SPECIALIZE IN FARM SITTING! :) DAYCARE/BOARDING GUESTS: just a heads up, we do have livestock on the property, as well as working dogs.:) Hope to hear from you soon! I work from home, so pet care fits into my routine really well. I’m not in meetings or anything all day, so my routine revolves around your pet’s schedule. :) I treat my clients’ homes with respect and care, just as I do my own home. I’ll clean up any messes your pet might make, as well as keep the home the way it was or better while you’re away.

“Our dog had a great time with Tina! She was very attentive and keep us up-to-date everyday. We appreciated that she sent us so many pictures/texts about how Hootie was playing/eating/getting along with other dogs. Hootie had such a fun time!”

About: Camerin has three years of pet care experience. She mainly does dog walking and doggie check ups but occasionally she will board a pup. She is very hard working and determined to keep your dog happy and healthy. Camerin is currently working Rover full time so she has plenty of time to care for your pets. She is usually available Monday - Friday and sometimes weekends. I have a fenced in yard and lots of space for your dog to play. That's if im boarding your dog. I also have a food bowl and water bowl.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. My parent’s friends typically just had me stop by 3-4 times per day! I work from 8:30-5pm. However, my breaks are flexible and my bosses are willing to work with me so that I can do what I need to do! I am unfortunately not allowed to host dogs in my home. My apartment complex is very strict about this and will fine me if I host dogs overnight.

“Debbie is amazing! She took such great care of our puppy! Debbie was very communicative leading up to, during, and after our dog's stay with her. She event lots of pictures and updates to keep us in the loop. Our dog is a little shy at first when meeting new dogs and Debbie was super understanding and helped her feel comfortable. After the warm welcome, our dog settled in and had a blast with Debbie's dogs. I highly recommend Debbie!”

“Sarah was amazing to work with. I was nervous leaving my pup with a stranger but she was friendly from the beginning and was flexible on time. She sent photos and gave us updates throughout the day. I felt comfortable leaving our doggo with her and would come again. Thank you Sarah!”
