Dog Boarding Union Hill

“Kingsley had a fantastic stay at Matt's place. Matt updated us often with photos and details of his attitude and comportment, and it was clear our dog was having fun. He seemed to get a good mix of play and rest time and we knew he was in good hands. We'll definitely be back!”

“Raye was phenomenal. She sent so many cute videos and photos of our pup. It was like we dropped him off at a really fun summer camp. Never doubted that he was safe, cared for, and having fun while we were away.”

“Hilary and her family were great with Dallas! We are so thankful to have been able to place him in the care of a wonderful family while we traveled out of the area and celebrated our youngest daughter’s birthday ?”

About: I am new to Richmond and looking to explore with my pup, Rubens. He has a lot of energy and loves to play with other dogs. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, ages, and energy levels. Would love for my dog to have a play mate during the day. Using Rover to keep a routine and explore Richmond while I look for a full time position. I am currently new to Richmond and in between jobs. I walk my dog anywhere from 5-12x a day from 15-75 minutes (depending on weather, need to get out of the house, etc.). My job right now is to enjoy the outdoors with my dog and yours! Rubens and I welcome all other dogs as family! I live in a first floor apt with a small fenced backyard (only for small dogs). There is a hallway that runs from the front door to the back yard area, which is where Rubens likes to do zoomies or be a watch guard dog for the doors. As far as behaviors, Rubens is allowed on my furniture and has a small basket of toys that he shares. Treats are only during training and water is down at all times. We are pretty flexible, but can also set rules per your request to stay on your schedule/routine.

“Jesse was so sweet and enthusiastic about watching Ripley on short notice over the Christmas holiday. Lots of walks, attention, and hanging with other hounds…she loved being a part of his pack. 😊”

Jasmine P.

“Was such a great host of my cat pumpkin. Sent timely updates and made sure to get the cutest pictures of her back to me during her stay! Definitely hope to book her again in the future.”

Layla S.

“Jeffrey was fantastic with my dog! He sent me lots of updates and pictures while I was away, so I was always confident that Malcolm was being well taken care of. I also appreciated that Jeffrey was happy to take Malcolm on good walks and also cuddle with him when they were just hanging out. I highly recommend this Rover!”

“Becky was an exceptional sitter for my pup! She expertly handled my shy and sweet boy, providing regular updates and photos. He was happy and well cared for the entire time. Becky's significant other was also very attentive and helpful—they make a great team! ☺️”

“Connor was a great sitter to Kratos & Motley! Responsive and sent pictures. He helped calm them down when the fireworks went off for July 4th as well. We would definitely use him again!”

Jared L.

“We cannot thank Chris and his daughter enough for taking care of our dog! He was so patient and kind with her unique personality! She came back tired and happy!”

Maggie W.

“Damacia took great care of Toby when I was out. Always kept me updated with pictures and messages. Toby came back home very happy. I’ll definitely be booking with Damacia for future trips.”

Dolly B.

“Ms. Cyndi was absolutely wonderful with my Rajah. He tends to be nervous in new places and with new people but he was immediately comfortable with her. She kept me updated and sent me tons of photos of him which made being away from him a lot easier. I now understand why she is always fully booked! I would definitely leave my pets with her again anytime!”

Ariana C.

“Nadia took great care of my 11-year-old dog Nike. She sent pictures every day of her activity and my dog seems so happy to be among other dogs, which was surprising to me. I would definitely use her again. Nike was in good hands the entire time.”

About: Aloha! I’m Will 👋. I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking on and off for the past 5 years, caring for dogs and cats of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. Animals are truly my passion, and my main goal is to make sure your paw prince or princess is safe, pampered, and fully cared for whenever you have to step away. Because I focus entirely on on-foot neighborhood walks, personalized house sitting, and drop-in visits, your pet gets 100% of my dedicated time and attention right in the comfort of their own familiar environment. I love keeping pups active with engaging outdoor strolls, and I am equally happy giving plenty of belly rubs and playtime to more relaxed seniors or playful kittens. I understand how hard it is to leave your pets behind, so I always prioritize open communication. You can expect regular photo and text updates from me during every single visit if that’s what you prefer, so you never have to guess how they are doing. I can’t wait to meet your four-legged best friend! 🐾 I am currently pet sitting full-time. My other part-time job is relatively flexible and is only Sunday-Thursday, from 3:30-8:00pm. Otherwise, I have complete control over my calendar. I explicitly designed this schedule to not be away from your fur baby for too long. Whether your pup needs a mid-day energy-busting walk, a morning drop-in, or dedicated overnight company, my schedule is mostly open to fit seamlessly into whatever routine your pet needs to stay happy and comfortable. In My Home & Around the Yard: Since I have a moderately sized, fenced-in yard and my own Bernese Mountain Dog, safety at home is mostly about supervising the fun. I never just let the dogs out back and walk away; I’m always out there watching them play to make sure everyone is sharing toys and getting along safely. Before a new pup ever visits, we’ll do a casual Meet & Greet to make sure our dogs vibe well together. Indoors, I keep my home calm and secure, making sure doors are always locked and any human food or hazards are kept way out of reach. In Your Home & On Walks: If I’m coming to your place, I treat it exactly like I’d want someone to treat mine. I stick strictly to the routine you give me for feeding and care. When we head out for neighborhood walks, I always double-check harnesses and collars before opening the front door to make sure nothing can slip loose. I keep a short, secure grip on the leash and stay entirely focused on the dog—keeping an eye out for hot pavement, heavy traffic, or stray dogs so our walks stay completely stress-free.

“My dog, Coco, had an amazing time during her stay! I got multiple pictures and videos daily of her playing with the other dogs. I never had to worry about Coco while we were away on vacation! I hope to be able to rebook with Wylie in the future.”

“Fozzie had so much fun at Sam and Trout’s house! He enjoyed going on walks with them in the museum district and playing with toys. We loved getting photos over the weekend and Sam was great at communicating pick up times. Thank you for taking care of our boy while we were out of town on such quick notice - he loves a chill and cuddly weekend :-)”

“Jerimah, was absolutely wonderful boarding my kitty. She was a great convenience since I needed to board my kitty last minute. Jerimah was very friendly and stayed in touch promptly. I recommended Jerimah and will be requesting her boarding service in the future.”

“Abby took such good care of our Ada. She welcomed her into our home while we were out of the country for two weeks. Ada was incorporated into their family. Sent pictures so we could see how happy she was! Definitely recommend Abby and will use her again!”

“Darling was amazing and Charlie had a wonderful time at her house. Very communicative and made us feel very comfortable. Will be booking her again!”
