“Awesome communication and care for Milo. I got several pics and updates during his daycare time. I’d definitely use Matt again in the future.”
“Best Rover experience ever! Emily treats our pup as her own, lavishing them with fun excursions, pup cups, and even practicing commands. I feel so much peace knowing I can rely on Emily and Sean to look after my fur baby, and our pup is always excited to visit her friend and surrogate family!”
“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 !”
“This was our first time leaving our 1-year-old dog with someone outside of the family since we got him. Katelynn was awesome with Zeus and was great with him from the very start! He typically is very scared of new people and refuses to leave our side but she made him feel comfortable and safe from the start! She kept us up to date throughout the day which made us feel safe. We will definitely have Zeus stay with her next time, she was wonderful and I would highly recommend her!”
“This was Luna’s first day with Julie. She was happy when I picked her up and seemed to enjoy herself. We have another day scheduled in a week.”
“Myrna was fantastic. She has a pool for all the doggies. She sent photos and communited throughout Starbuck's stay. Starbuck had such a great time that when we picked her up she didn't want to leave. We will definitely be using Myrna again!”

“This was Deuce (my Yorkie’s) first dog care experience and it was a successful. Ethel was a great communicator and made this a great experience. Although this was the first time, it certainly will not be the last! Thank you Ethel!”
About: Hello! My name is Kyla and since I was 5 years old my family and I have always welcomed needing pets to our home and family. I’ve also been frequently trusted with caring for neighbors’ and family pets during their times away. With this background I’ve been given the hands on experiences to understand and provide the needs of pets who are away from their home environment and would ensure that my home and care is a welcoming and comforting temporary replacement to what you provide to them. Looking forward to being your trusted sitter! I currently work from home full-time and am much of a homebody outside of that, giving me plenty of time to care for and play with your furry friends and provide frequent updates on their stays away from you. I live in an apartment but am very close to nearby parks and walking areas and would be sure to frequently give your pets their much needed doses of fresh-air and outdoor playtime. When in a client’s home, I am sure to treat it as my own and maintain the routine that they’re accustomed to.
“Chris met us on time at the park and watched Ladybug while I went rock climbing at the RVA Man Wall. He was great with Ladybug and let her go wherever she wanted and snuggled her while we climbed. Great Rover experience with Chris, highly recommend!”
“Michaela's great! I contacted her the night before I needed a sitter for my 5 month old puppy, and she got back to me very quickly that she was available. She worked with my schedule and was a huge help in a pinch. I checked in with her a couple times during my pup's stay and she replied with updates and pictures. Thanks, Michaela!”
“She’s amazing!!! Gives me lots of updates on my boy and sends lots of photos, she treats him like her own! ?”
“We loved having Nahima care for Jasper. She was great at communicating with me about Jasper and was flexible with pick and drop off times. Jasper came back so happy! We’d be thrilled to have Nahima care for Jasper again!”
About: I’ve been around animals my whole life. Friends and family have relied on me to take care of their fur babies. We always have a great time! I currently work full-time however, I work primarily remote and have a flexible schedule. I don’t mind early or evening schedules and I’m available during the afternoon depending on the day. I currently live in an apartment, but we do have a dog park and many trails to walk. This will vary depending on your preferred requirements.

Shockoe Slip dog parents share their Rover experiences
Jordan took great care of Lola. She was friendly, flexible, and communicative. Lola had a wonderful day with her and Callie May. It's clear she felt very comfortable and at home.
My dog was very comfortable staying at Rose’s house for the day. She sent lots of photos and updates too. We’re looking forward to booking her again!
I can’t possibly say enough good things about Tyler and the amazing care she took of our pupper. She’s the best.
Kristen was extremely flexible last minute but my schedule changed again and did not end up needing the service. Despite the inconvenience to her, she was very professional. I would highly recommend her to others simply for her communication and professionalism.
Emily was so great! She sent many updates of Sarabi which I loved. She made sure she was loved for the day while she was in her care. Will definitely be booking her again.
Talia and Yuno took great care of my little floof Auggie! Great communication and he had the best day! Highly recommend!!!
This was Cleo’s first day at daycare and she had a great time. Raye sent lots of photos and videos that put my mind at ease. She will definitely be back!
Lydie was absolutely amazing. Lydie's warm, engaging personality and her deep knowledge of dogs made for a wonderful stay. Betty's pictures told the story, she enjoyed her time completely. Everything went perfectly and Lydie accommodated our schedule. Thank you again.
Cassie was very accommodating with a last minute need. She kept him busy and he had a blast. Would recommend Cassie and we will definitely see her our next time in Richmond.
Dom is great! His cool, easy going attitude was a perfect pairing for my anxious pup. When it was time to pick my dog up he hopped right back up on Dom's couch like he had moved in and was going to stay!
I highly recommend TC & Sage's Doggy Day Care! TC & Sage responded right away to my request on Rover and even invited my Bubby and me over for a meet-and-greet with them and their sweet, mellow pug Nike the day before, which I'm sure made my dog feel more comfortable when I dropped him off for day care. I recently adopted a 3 year old shih tzu - poodle mix who is affectionate and smart but not very well trained and a bit of a handful, so I was worried about how he'd behave. I didn't have to worry for long because TC texted me frequent updates and pics, and I could see Bubby was relaxed and having fun playing with Nike. That evening when we got home we worked on some leash training, and he was more attentive and did better than ever before - clearly having had a fulfilling day at day care. Also, TC & Sage are very friendly, honest, funny, and will make you and your dog feel very comfortable in their super cool space.
