Pet Boarding Richmond

“My 4lb Yorkie had more fun away from us that he almost didn’t want to come home. He did great with them at their home and even got along with other dogs.”

“Above and beyond care for Princess! This sitter didn’t just watch our fur baby; they truly cared for her. Every detail was handled with so much compassion, and it showed in how calm and content Princess was when we returned. Our sweet Princess was treated like family. We received thoughtful updates and photos and videos that reassured us every day. Exceptional care for our sweet Princess. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. Knowing she was safe and happy gave us total peace of mind. An absolutely wonderful experience overall! She was punctual, communicative, and incredibly kind with our pet. It’s such a relief knowing your furry family member is in safe and loving hands. We will definitely book again. A wonderful experience from start to finish. Highly Recommend!!”

“I couldn't be happier with Stacey and the way she cared for my Gonzo. I am always apprehensive leaving Gonzo with someone new, and I've never left him with a sitter who had dogs bigger than he is. But Stacey just loved on Gonzo and made him feel safe and comfortable in her home. He had full access to her huge fenced in yard, a private room for when he wanted alone time, and he spent most of the day on Stacey's heels, or cuddled up next to her on the sofa. Stacey keep me posted daily with photos and little tidbits of info that made me feel comfortable that he was doing just fine for the 4 days we were away. The thing that impressed me most was that on the day we arrived to pick Gonzo up and take him home, while we were packing up his belongings, he leaped up onto Stacey's lap. Clearly, he was very comfortable with her! I highly recommend Stacey and we will definitely use her again.”

About: I’ve been caring for cats and dogs for over 3 years and truly love spending time with animals of all kinds! I started my experience working at a pet resort, where I spent 2 years caring for boarding pets. My responsibilities included feeding, walking, administering medications when needed, cleaning, and making sure every pet felt safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners were away. After that, I worked at an animal hospital, where I gained hands-on experience assisting with treatments and caring for pets in a medical setting. This helped me become comfortable recognizing changes in behavior, following detailed care instructions, and working with pets who may be nervous, elderly, or have special needs. I have plenty of time to play with your animal! I usually travel weekends, but will stay depending on the weekend! Happy to stay with your animal I've worked with many dogs with many different conditions! I've done medicine for dogs, as well as cared for all their different needs

“Michelle was AMAZING with my dog. My dog is a special needs dog. (He can't do stairs, has anxiety accidents, needs medication, etc.) I so rarely leave my dog with anyone else because of this. But Michelle didn't make any of his needs feel like a burden. Her and her family were so warm toward him and very attentive to his idiosyncrasies. He got along with the kids, who were sensitive to his need to warm up to people. He ran around the house and was so happy to be there with the family. Michelle sent updates multiple times a day with pictures/videos and a report on how he was doing: if he went to the bathroom, what he ate, and what his mood was like. I will be booking with her again and will very easily recommend!”

“Panda had a great time with Jennifer and her family. We appreciated the pictures and videos she sent, which showed how well Panda was being cared for. We’re very happy with the experience and hope to have Panda stay there again!”

“Im so glad my little guy got to stay with Emily and her daughter! He came home happy and healthy, and Emily sent some photos and updates while we were away. Great and quick to communicate! Highly recommend.”

“This was a great experience for both me and Mila. Tiffany took such great care of my fur baby and sent me pictures so I knew how she was doing throughout her stay! Tiffany will definitely be my go to dog sitter moving forward.”

“I was able to enjoy a glorious long weekend because I knew my two dogs were happy and spoiled with Emily. Both my dogs (age 7 & 6) had NEVER been boarded or kenneled before, so I was nervous that they'd be anxious and upset, but they came home absolutely happy and contented after staying with her. She was kind enough to provide twice-daily feedback about their walks, sleep schedule, and general wellbeing, and that helped me relax and enjoy myself. My dogs sleep on the bed at home, and I chose Emily because she was going to be with them at night and because she has so many repeat customers; that tells me all I need to know! Emily is worth her weight in gold. Luka and Teddy had a safe and happy get-away of their own. Thanks so much, Emily!”

Renée C.

“I am thrilled to give Sheri a 5-star review for taking care of my pet, Happy, during boarding! Sheri went above and beyond to ensure Happy's comfort and happiness. I was particularly impressed with the regular updates she sent, complete with photos, to keep me informed and at ease. Her dedication, attention to detail, and love for animals truly shine through. I am so grateful to have found such a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Sheri, for taking such wonderful care of Happy! I highly recommend her services to anyone seeking top-notch pet care.”

“Ethel was a great sitter! We would gladly leave Ziggy with Ethel again--she communicated well, was flexible, had a nice play area in the back yard, and our social dog enjoyed hanging out with Chase!”

Kevin D.

“Wylie gave our lab Puca the BEST time. We are pretty sure he thought this trip was just for him. So excited to have an awesome Rover in Richmond!”

Joey M.

“Makhni had a great time with Beth. We got regular updates and pictures on her stay. Thank you so much for taking such good care of our dog!”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I treat each pup like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and loving, creating a comfortable and present environment where dogs feel happy and cared for while their owners are away! I’m available throughout the entire month of July and will be home consistently, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m able to be present during my stays and keep up with your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, meals, medication reminders, or just extra companionship! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, I provide a calm and supervised environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pets receive the same attention, patience, and affection I would give my own.

“Pretzel had a great time! She got lots of attention and playtime and came home and immediately went to sleep because she was so exhausted from all her fun.”

David B.

“Celia was such a pleasure to work with. My boys looked like they were right at home with her and Alfie! She can obviously actually read dog body language, because my pups were doing exactly what they love doing most at home. My cuddle bug was next to her or Alfie in every photo, and Dobby who is more reserved looked content within her eyeline. Whatever your dogs preferences, you can trust Celia to adapt to them! She sent (NOT blurry) pictures throughout the day and kept me updated so I could rest easy on vacation! She was also really flexible and understanding of some trip delays I experienced, it was one less thing to stress about!”

“Katharine took care of Susie for almost 3 weeks while we were out of town. Our 13 year old dog has had some back problems so cannot handle stairs very well. Katharine's house is great because there are no stairs to go outside to the fenced backyard. And Katharine carried her to the upstairs when needed. We received pictures and a note every couple of days while we were gone so we could see how Susie was doing. We felt good about how Katharine cared for Susie.”

William P.

“Grace was so welcoming for Oliver's first stay. He enjoyed her yard and hanging with her dogs and their toy basket. Grace shared lots of updates and made sure Oliver was able to settle in quickly. I felt he was in great hands while we were out of town and I look forward to Oliver spending his next stay with Grace.”

Alee C.

“Nathan did a phenomenal job with our dog Moose. He was attentive, patient, and met us for a meet and greet which helped out a ton. He was very easy to work with, flexible, and thorough. We would definitely book a stay with Nathan again.”
