Top rated Richmond doggy day care sitters


“My very anxious senior dog and my crazy 1 year old who never leave the house stayed with Natalie for the day while my family and I took a day trip. We had so many concerns”


“We are so grateful we found Craig to dog sit for our puppy Enzo. Enzo is a highly energetic dog who takes some time to warm up to strangers, however, he took no time to adjust to Craig. Craig kept us updated through out the day with pictures and videos. We could tell right away that Enzo was having an awesome time. When we picked up Enzo he was tired (from all the fun he had with Penny) and overall just calm and happy. We highly recommend Craig for doggy care!”


“I was nervous about leaving my high energy puppy with someone. My worries went away after meeting Gene! Lincoln has a fabulous time each time (as seen in photos, video and how tired he was at the end of the day), and is so happy when he realizes he's getting to go to doggie daycare.”


“Alissa was amazing with Morph, he had so much fun and she took care of him and loved him like I would. Definitely someone to trust with your fur babies as she will take care of them like they are her own. Will be definitely using Alissa again and encourage anyone and everyone to as well.”


“Lindsay was fabulous. And our 2 pups really enjoyed their stay - including a dip in the baby pool that they loved. We were especially pleased to find she had moved and was only 6 minutes from where we stayed. Apparently Rover won’t let her change her address! She is now in Whitefield ME”


“Kaylee has been fantastic with our little Milo! It was his first time staying with a dog sitter and I can tell that he was very happy! She is super kind and caring, and he felt right at home. She took him on walks, played with him, and she is definitely a rockstar dog sitter! We are super grateful and can recommend her enough! THANK YOU Kaylee for making Milo's first daycare experience smooth and easy :)”


“Marissa watched our dogs when we went skiing. We felt totally comfortable leaving them with her! They had a great time at her house and she sent us pictures of their day. She was incredibly nice and we will definitely reach out again!!”


“Chelsea has been watching my brand new pup for a couple of days while I am at work and when I come to pick him up he wants to stay and play! She has kept me updated throughout the day which I so appreciate!”


“Nathan accommodated us on short notice and hosted our dog for 14 hours of daycare. He was responsive, super flexible with the long hours and early drop off, and exceedingly capable/confident with our high energy shepherd/pit mix. We highly recommend him!”


“Caroline did a wonderful job with our goldendoodle Ollie. I had to leave for a family emergency and at a moment's notice Caroline was able to care for my very energetic goldendoodle puppy for five days and nights. I got plenty of updates and Ollie seemed very happy when we picked him up. Would definitely recommend and plan on using her services again!”


“I found Tyler to be a very responsible dog owner who truly enjoys caring for dogs of all sizes. He is very compassionate, patient and understanding when it comes to ensuring your dog has a safe and fun filled day. Tyler and his dog Clarence treated my Great Dane puppy just like family. My puppy absolutely adores both of them tremendously!! I would highly recommend Tyler for your dog sitting needs. He goes above and beyond!”


About: I have years of experience with caring for animals and love them all dearly! I am caring, patient, and understanding. I have a home with a very large back yard in a country setting, with plenty of space to play and find a good potty spot! I am willing to give baths, go for walks, host your pet at my own home, or care for your pet at your own home. I would love to get the chance to get to know you and your fur babies, please contact me if you are interested in any of my services. Thank you! I am currently going to school online, this makes my schedule very flexible for caring for your fur babies and their needs! I have open availability currently! I have 3 small friendly chihuahuas and a cat, they can be kept on a seperate floor if needed for comfortability, but they have never had trouble getting along with other pets!

“Molly is so sweet and kind it made leaving our baby a little easier. She was so understanding with our timeline changes and open to do whatever we need. She sent pictures and let me ask a million questions and it was peace of mind. I would 10/10 recommend Molly!!”


“Jaclyn is amazing! Sable went for daycare with the plan to get her comfortable for future boarding and it's great. Her home setting allows Sable to socialize but still get individualized attention.”


“Rory is fantastic. She took great care of our two high energy Brits while we were visiting the area. When we picked up our dogs they were happy and relaxed. Rory played with them and took them out into the yard regularly throughout their time with her. I highly recommend Rory for dog sitting. She is a lovely, steady and readily available via texts. We wish her the best.”


About: I started a career in dog care in 2010. I have extensive experience with all dog breeds in boarding, day care, training, grooming and vet tech. I then began rescuing Pugs and have my 5th one currently. I love all animals and look forward to caring for yours! I have a flexible schedule. Let's see what works for both of us. I'm available as often as needed and I have reliable transportation available I have a dog park across the street but also plenty of regular walking trails if your pet isn't social. My dog is very friendly and always happy to make a new friend

About: I have lots of experience working with animals, including time working at an animal hospital during high school, where I learned to care for pets of all kinds. I’m familiar with administering medications and meeting the unique needs of different animals. I am currently searching for a summer job while taking a couple summer classes while i finish my associate degree. My schedule is very open! In my home i have one dog a very friend golden retriever who loves playdates and we have a big yard by woods. I’m very attendant and anxious so i spend a lot of time outside with my dog and love going for walks

About: I have taken care of dogs since I was a child. I am sensitive to animals' needs and unique personalities. I'm just as happy playing and romping as hanging out while they sniff and explore on their own. I am currently in between jobs, so I have a very flexible schedule. I'm easy to reach and have good communication skills. I am available most days during the day. I'm looking forward to coming to you to care for your pet, whether it's for a walk or just a bathroom break and some playtime inside. If you have a fenced in yard, I'm happy to play with your dog off leash too.

Catherine K.
“I am so grateful I found her! My new work schedule was so hectic and I was exhausted when I returned home. Long walks with my Yorkie (9) and Yorkie-Palm (1) turned to us just standing in the front yard. I knew it wasn't enough. I knew I needed help, my dogs deserved more. That's when I reached out for help and came across Sky in her eye profile. I was nervous at first because I am really protective of my Yorkies. She arrived on time and communicated with me the whole time she is with my pets, which was very important to me. They absolutely adore her! She is loving and patient with my older Yorkie, but also fun and energetic with my pup. I'm also grateful that I can trust her to watch my pets when I have to go out of town. My dogs are not neutered so they don't have many options when it comes to pet hotels. You can tell she has a lot of knowledge about caring for dogs, but what I love is her friendly attitude and the passion she has for what she does. Thanks to her my dogs are well taken care of when I am away and also get the right amount of exercise on the days I don't have the energy to give them the walk they deserve. Again I am so grateful for such a reliable doggy caregiver, I think she is the best and I'm sure your dogs will think so too!”

Lucy A.
“Lucy has cared for our dogs (cats and other farm animals) for more than 10 years. We entirely trust her. Our last dog, Harvey, a lab/hound mix, was sometimes aggressive with other dogs. Lucy worked well with him in a controlled and save manner. Our current dog, Denali, a hound mix, could not be friendlier and more laid-back - although he sometimes likes to chase squirrels. While on walks, Lucy uses dog treats to reinforce his behavior and keep him close at hand. You will find Lucy to be straightforward and easy to talk with. As a former kindergarten teacher, Lucy is dependable, caring and fun. We highly recommend her and appreciate all that she has done for us - and our dogs.”
