Doggy Day Care in Stratford Hills, Richmond, VA

“Matt is amazing !! I moved to Richmond for work for 13 weeks and he has made my life easier taking care of my 1 year old puppy, Paige. His dog, Cooper is super super sweet. And Paige comes home exhausted from all the fun she has had ! Very grateful for Matt’s help”

“Our dogs took to Cindy right away. They did great on their first visit! We really appreciate the pics and notes about their stay. Thank you.”

“Sheri is responsive, respectful, and overall a delightful person who truly cares for your dogs. I received updates with photos and will 100% trust Sheri with my two princess pitties again in the very near future. Seriously 10/10.”

“I was so glad I was able to depend on AJ for his daycare support with Ace. He was very helpful, kept conversation and made my first time a great experience. I highly recommend you book with AJ. I look forward to booking with him very soon.”

“Shareem was very communicative and gave us multiple updates on our dog Lilo throughout the day. My dog even whined a little when we left, and that to me is a good sign that she was treated with kindness and wouldn’t mind coming back some day soon. I highly recommend Shareem for pet sitting.”

About: I am a firm believer that dogs are our best friends. Dogs deserve all the love and devotion they show us. I would love to drop by for a quick visit or a walk, or if you need care for longer my wife and our dog Belle would love to host your furry friend. Our backyard, quiet neighborhood, and proximity to the James River Park System is perfect for play time and longer walks. If you’re looking for a reliable friendly caretaker and or a fun place to stay for your pet, look no further. This is my full time commitment at the moment so pet care will be my top priority. My dog Belle gets all of the attention and won’t mind sharing. I have a fenced in yard at home that I share with my wife and our dog Belle. When it’s not too hot Belle gets a long walk every day, and can go in and out to the yard as she pleases. I will ensure I give the same level of care to your dog as I would my own both in and out of my home.

“Sarah is incredibly reliable and always takes excellent care of our Rudy. Such a loving and peaceful home that it’s hard to get Rudy to leave lol. She’s the best!!!”

“Very accommodating and good communication!”

“Chili had a great time with Emily and playing with her dog. He was smiling in every pic. :) Kept me up to date with videos and pics, which is always so appreciated.”

“Maggie is a wonderful sitter. She is conscientious and low-key, which was just perfect for our dogs. They were relaxed with Maggie and her family, and we could relax, knowing that our beloved girls were in good hands. We will happily leave our dogs with Maggie when we visit Richmond next. Our dogs, Aoife and Schnuggi, are Bernese Mt. Dogs.”

“Dawn was a true lifesaver when we were in town for my daughter's graduation, and needed help watching our pup who has separation anxiety. She remained flexible throughout our weekend of constantly changing plans. She had great communication and feedback and I always knew that our pup was doing well at her house in her care. Thank you for taking such great care of Enzo, and helping to make graduation weekend a success, Dawn!”

About: Hi I’m Karlyn! I am a lover of all pets-young, old, big or small- and I take any opportunities to show them love and take them on adventures. I have been taking care of animals for as long as I can remember and have two fur babies of my own. My two indoor cats, who have both grown up with dogs, mostly keep to themselves when we have visitors. However, they have been known to make appearances to watch from the exposed beams with a judging glare. I am a graphic designer who works from home and my schedule is flexible to fit your dog’s needs and show them undivided attention throughout the day. I have a fenced in back yard and am just minutes from the James River, where I love to take nice long walks with the dogs. My home is clean, smoke free and has plenty of room for a crate.

About: I've taken care of dogs since I was a child, sitting for my next-door neighbors. I have had a dog in my life since I was 8, mostly labs with a hound dog thrown in. I currently have an 11-year-old Black Lab and a 10-year-old Great Pyrenees. I work from home full time and have a lovely fenced-in back yard, as well as comfy sofas and dog beds, and toys galore! I can accommodate medication schedules as well as any food needs your dog may have. As mentioned above, I have two elderly dogs that are friendly and enjoy sleeping on the cool hardwood or in their bed for most of the day, but will enjoy a chew bone or squeaky toy. I can crate your dog if needed, but am happy to let them roam free and choose where they want to spend their day.

“Kathy is the best dog carer around. She spoils my dogs to the point that they don't even really care that I am there to pick them up. She give them lots of love and attention and treats (when deserved of course).”
