Dog Boarding in Richmond

“Sarah was fantastic! She took great care of our corgi Martine, gave her personal attention, took her on walks, played with her. An all around a great presence with sweet Martine. She communicated well with us, took pictures, gave reports. Martine took a liking to Sarah, her dogs, and the overall environment. We will definitely use Sarah again when we go out of town.”

“Second stay the pups had with the Rover. Love the services, environment, and personality! Everything about the stay was great. Home away from home and they come home wore out from all the fun. Constant communication, pictures, and videos. Highly recommend for your pets need when out of town. Will book again.”

“She was absolutely amazing with Iris. I was worried about leaving iris as she is very attached but Elena made sure she adjusted well and had an absolute blast playing all week!! I 100% recommend her!”

“Oh my gosh! What a wonderful dog sitter. Kailey was truly awesome when she cared for my two pups. It was obvious they were well taken cared of while I was gone. So much so they didn't seem at all glad to see me. And why? Because they had a beautiful energetic greyhound (Rocket) and Kailey to play with in the backyard. They had walks every day and healthy treats. They watched movies while sitting on her lap and on the couch beside her - all of them including Rocket. My bigger dog usually doesn't get along with other dogs but Kailey somehow managed to get them all to be friends and have fun together. She kept me posted while I was on my trip as to how the dogs were doing and sent me a picture of them. And Kailey herself is a real sweetheart. Warm, friendly, great sense of humor and young with the energy needed to keep up with the dogs. Her house is cozy, comfortable and dog friendly. I am extremely happy for the care my pups received while with her and I will be taking them back to Kailey's Getaway whenever I next need to leave town. I highly recommend this host!!”

“Andy did a great job helping Nate feel at home. Nate got snacks he likes and outside breaks that were on his schedule. Andy sent a lot of updates with pictures. Besides the cute pictures, Andy sent me a picture that showed Nate feeling relaxed. Frankly, I was glad Nate still wanted to come home! Andy understands dogs, has an appreciation for the variety of normal dog behavior, and really does love dogs. His daughter also really loves dogs. Although I found Andy through Rover, a mutual friend confirmed that he’s a dog lover and would trust him with her dogs. Knowing that we had mutual friends was literally an answer to prayer. I would definitely trust this family with Nate again.”

“Casey was wonderful with our American Eskimo dog who has a bit of a personality and takes time adjusting in new environments. She went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She gave us very frequent updates via text and pictures throughout his stay so I wasn’t left wondering how he was doing. I already have his next stay booked with Casey!”

Manisha G.

“I was new to Rover when I booked a weekend with Kathy. I found the app very useful and easy to use. Kathy is a great communicator, and very flexible and I felt immediately at ease about leaving my dog in her care upon our meet and greet. She did not disappoint, and I've already booked with her for another trip. So great not to have to worry about Olivia's care while I'm away.”

Lori L.

“Hailie was amazing and took such good care of our Australian shepherd! She was very communicative and was a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend! 😊”

Macey N.

“She was so good with our dog , provided updates and pics and hew was so well taken care of would highly recommend, we will be using her again.”

Shawn A.

“Shelby was great! She watched our fur-baby over our wedding weekend. She was super flexible with a last minute surprise of picking Boone up and dropping her back off so I could surprise my husband at our first look with Boone!!! She gave us lots of picture updates of Boone as well!”

Rachael & Jacob C.

“Gabrielle took the best care of Kida! She updated us with pictures and Kida got plenty of exercise and lots of play time with Mando! I highly recommend Gabrielle!”

Savanna S.

“Ann took excellent care of my dog, Max! She ensured that he got plenty of playtime, and sent me plenty of pictures and updates daily. She even surprised me by giving him a good bath! She also kept him an extra night when I got stranded at the airport. She certainly has a passion for caring for dogs.”

Andrew K.

“Our dog loved staying and playing at Tania’s house! The fenced-in yard is wonderful, and Tania sent messages and pictures each day we were gone! He’s staying there again next month!”

Courtney M.

“Erin and family took great care of our Lucy Lu. Our dog is old and takes a bit more care than most dogs, as she is deaf and on medications. Erin kept us up to date on Lucy’s weekend and share pictures. We will definitely be calling again when we need doggie care. Thanks Erin!!!”

Paula D.

“Brooke & Jason took anazing care of my sweet girl. They were very accommodating for small time changes and super quick to respond. They sent tons of pictures to ensure me that NOLA was having a great time. I look forward to booking with them again in the future 🙂”

Brittany P.

“I am so happy I found Mikayla and her family, as they are amazing with our dog. Benny enjoys lots of playtime with their son and dog Archie, and is treated like family. Benny is excited to visit their home and returns relaxed and happy. Mikayla’s home is clean, organized, and we feel comfortable knowing he is being well cared for while we are away. Mikayla communicates well and sends daily pictures and videos. She is contentious and does not hesitate to reach out regarding any questions. Mikayla and her family are our go to sitter. We appreciate the family atmosphere and that she does not accept multiple bookings at the same time. Benny really is home away from home with Mikayla’s family.”

Donna L.

“Sandra is the best! She takes excellent care of Barnaby, and always sends pictures and updates. We had some issues trying to get back to him and ended up not getting back until way after we planned on, but she was very understanding and happy to care for him longer.”

Brittany G.

“We had a great experience with Kath and Jordan! They were able to accommodate our three dogs for almost a week, and our dogs got along wonderfully with their own beautiful pets. Kath and Jordan kept us updated with regular pictures, which really put our minds at ease knowing our dogs were in good hands. They have a spacious yard for the dogs to run and play, making it a great environment for them. We highly recommend Kath and Jordan and will definitely book with them again!”
