Doggy Day Care in Short Pump

“Pamela and Paul were awesome with Monroe! She is a sensitive dog who felt right at home with a little extra attention. They were flexible with our schedule and accommodating for a late pick up one day. I will definitely use them again- true animal lovers that treat your dog like their own!”

“Vannessa is very reliable and sweet! My puppy loves her. She sends pics/vids throughout the day. Its a bonus that she lives 5mins from me. Grateful to have found her as I wasn’t expecting to get Ace so soon. So thank you very much for all you do, it is more than appreciated!”

Ms E.

“My pup had another great day of daycare with Denton and Elizabeth. They go above and beyond and are always great to communicate with. Highly recommend!”

“Zadie enjoyed her day stay at Andreea's today. The shady back yard was a perfect exercise spot in this hot, muggy Richmond weather. Andreea let me know via message that Zadie wasn't so interested in her food, which she made up for when she returned home! Guess she was having too much fun interacting with Andreea's two pups to think about eating. Smooth booking, arrival and departure.”

“We ❤️ Sheri!! She has watched my pup on my long class days for two semesters now and he now knows when we are almost at her house and gets so excited! It’s so nice knowing he is somewhere that he loves and gets lots of walks and snuggles when I can’t be there!”

Jesse S.

“Very professional and efficient. Sent lots of pictures and videos! She was amazing!”

Regina C.

“Sarah did an incredible job caring for Senny! She took her on multiple long walks and was very understanding about Sennys tendencies. I would definitely recommend her as a dog sitter!”

About: Hi! I’m a dependable, caring dog lover who treats every pet as if they were my own. I understand that pets are family, and my goal is to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or feeding, I tailor my care to each pet’s unique personality and needs. Why Choose Me? ✔ Patient, attentive, and reliable ✔ Clean, safe, and pet-friendly environment ✔ Regular updates with photos and messages ✔ Genuinely love spending time with animals I work from home, which allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. I also have a friendly dog of my own, so your pup will have a built-in buddy for play and socialization. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to stick closely to your dog’s routine, provide frequent potty breaks, walks, playtime, and lots of love. Your dog will never be left alone for long and will be treated like part of the family. I care for pets as if they were my own, with safety, trust, and comfort as my top priorities. In my home, pets stay in a clean, calm environment with a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor play and potty breaks. I also have crates available for dogs who are crate-trained or need a quiet, safe space to relax.

“Very pleased with Jenifer! She kept me updated during the day, and my Nelly was worn out when I picked her up. Will definitely be rebooking 😊”

“Susan is amazing and made our anxiety-inducing first drop off at doggie day care way easier! Easy communication and planning and she and her dog made mine feel right at home. Loved how many updates and pictures she sent us too! Our dog seemed happy and tired afterwards.”

Kate D.

“Thank you for watching the girls!! Have a great rest of the weekend!”

Tom W.

“I felt so much peace of mind leaving Buttercup with Elizabeth. I knew she was safe and well taken care of. The updates throughout the day also helped. Elizabeth was great working with my work schedule which I definitely really appreciated. I’ll definitely have Buttercup back soon!”

Joy M.

“Jax seemed really happy to go back, nice guy. Only complaint, and not a horrible thing, all other Rover's send updates and pictures throughout the day, we didn't get anything like that, but Jax went on 2nd day and was really happy to see him, so not a deal breaker”

Jim M.

“Piña had a fantastic day by the beach!”

Brelyn S.

“Ruben was great with my Lily and it was a bonus that she had other dogs to play with. She’s a puppy so it’s important that she socializes as much as possible with other dogs and have a place to run around in. We will be booking again”

Ayesha D.

“Took Jasper for some great walks and he seemed like he had a great time! Wouldn't hesitate to leave him again”

Andy L.

“Tes watched McGregor at her beautiful house with a days notice and he had a great time in her yard which was fenced out back. She has a puppy also who made for a great playmate. We received updates when requested and she sent a photo. When we picked him up he was worn out!”

Lisa H.

“Jay was wonderful! He was very communicative and took great care of our two dogs. We would definitely book him again!”

Barrett R.

“Parneet was sweet and assured me my puppy was in good hands. It was my first experience with Rover and I was nervous. At the end of the day I picked up a calm, tired and happy puppy. Perfect.”
