Doggy Day Care Shockoe Slip

“I can’t say enough great things about Nadia! She took such amazing care of my dog, Mojo, during his first stay that it completely put my mind at ease. From the moment we met her, it was clear how much she genuinely cares about the dogs she looks after. Mojo had such a great experience that what started as a one time stay has now turned into a regular weekly visit. He gets so excited every time we arrive he truly loves Nadia, and that says everything. It’s such a relief knowing he’s not just being watched, but is actually happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Nadia is reliable, kind, and clearly passionate about what she does. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving dog sitter!”

“Despite the late request, Ross answered very quickly and was able to arrange a brief meeting the same night for Murdoch and his dog to meet. The day after, we left Murdoch with Ross and Ava and everything went monthly with a few pictures of Murdoch's day. I recommend Ross and Ava !”

“Highly recommend. I was visiting Richmond from out of town and was so grateful for the care and consideration Mindy gave me and my fur-baby. Very appreciative for the way she handled my apprehension, as I was a first time Rover user, showing genuine concern and compassion. Her communication before, during and after the appointment was excellent. She went above that to meet me at a coffee shop to sit and chat before picking up and taking my girl for a walk. She sent me pictures during and after the visit too! Thank you, Mindy - I hope you haven't spoiled us!”

“Myrna is a great sitter. She has taken excellent care of Starbuck. We have scheduled doggie day care and boarding. Myrna's schedule is flexible and she works with us on drop off and pickup times. We will continue to use Myrna's services.”

About: With 20 years hands-on experience caring for animals, I am your go-to pet sitter and walker that resides in the charming downtown Richmond neighborhood of Church Hill. My passion for animals shines through in every interaction, whether is a playful game of catch or a relaxing cuddle session. Living in Church Hill, I’m intimately familiar with all the local parks, trails and pet-friendly spots in Richmond and the surrounding areas. I’m available to come to you or can host your furry friend. My top-notch’ care includes regular updates including pictures to give you peace of mind and ensuring that your beloved family members are happy and well-cared for while you’re away. When I’m not busy caring for your pets, you can find me playing a game of keep away or snuggled up with my own Cocker Spaniel named Hagrid. We like to explore and travel when we aren’t hosting new friends. Mostly recently, we enjoyed visiting our furry friend Ajax with his family of cats and humans in Vermont. If you’re looking a reliable, compassionate and experienced sitter/walker, please reach out! I’m a business consultant who works from home. I make my own schedule and have flexible hours throughout the week/weekends that makes hosting/sitting or walking easy. I have a fenced in backyard and one friendly cocker spaniel who can keep your baby busy. I can easily crate if that is what you desire, but they can play together through out the day and have multiple outside breaks/walks

About: When caring for pets in a home, whether it's my own or a client's, I prioritize following the pet's specific routine and needs. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, ensuring fresh water is always available, and adjusting meals for any dietary restrictions. I provide regular exercise and playtime, such as daily walks for dogs or interactive toys for cats, while also keeping the environment safe and pet-proofed. I monitor for signs of illness, administer medications if necessary, and maintain cleanliness, like cleaning litter boxes and brushing fur. Additionally, I offer comfort and affection, creating a calm space for relaxation, especially for pets with separation anxiety, to ensure their well-being. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home, which allows me to be present and attentive throughout the day. I can easily integrate feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddle sessions into my schedule. Whether it's letting pets out for bathroom breaks, refreshing water bowls, or simply being there to offer comfort and companionship, I can provide pets with consistent care and attention all day long. My flexible routine also means I can adapt to each pet's specific needs and make sure they feel safe, loved, and part of the household. When caring for pets, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a comforting environment. I ensure all spaces are pet-proofed, keep routines consistent, and supervise pets closely to prevent accidents or stress. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, calm space. While in a client's home, I respect their space, follow all care instructions closely, and keep their home secure. I build trust through consistent communication, photo updates, and gentle, attentive care.

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I can’t say enough wonderful things about Miguel and his wife! They took amazing care of my fur baby, Church, for the past three days, and the experience was absolutely delightful. From the moment we met, Miguel made sure that Church felt comfortable and safe, even introducing him to their own dog to help them get along. His understanding of dog language, especially with big dogs like mine, is truly impressive. Miguel and his wife are such pleasant, caring people. They kept me informed every step of the way, sending updates and even videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. They’re incredibly accommodating, even fitting us in on short notice, which I really appreciated. Church came back home happy, tired, and clearly well-loved. I could tell he had a great time because he’s been so content and relaxed. I’m beyond grateful for their kindness, professionalism, and the genuine care they showed my dog. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy and amazing with dogs, Miguel and his wife are the best choice. Thank you both so much! How does that look?
