Doggy Day Care Union Hill

“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!”

“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”

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

“As always, Raven is the best. So so sweet with our pup and such a good human being!! Thank you!!!!”

“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 !”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 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?

About: Caring for animals has been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have owned cats and dogs, walked dogs during college, volunteered at a shelter, and have experience across different life stages and breeds. I can read body language to know when a pet wants company and when they need space. When caring for pets 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 while keeping the environment safe and pet-proofed. I monitor for signs of illness, can administer medications if necessary, and maintain cleanliness, like cleaning litter boxes and brushing fur. I offer comfort and affection for each pet, creating a calm space for relaxation, especially for pets with separation anxiety, to ensure their well-being. I work from home so your pet will have companionship throughout the day. 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.

“Katharine was so responsive and kind as I navigate a last minute work trip. Her house was obviously a pups heaven and I was so grateful that my dogs, Swoosh and Frankie, were able to stay with Katharine and Louie (x2) for a few hours. If we’re ever back in Richmond, Katharine will always be our first call!”

About: My daughter and I have been doing Rover together for years. This summer, she is home from school at UVA and excited to help out with additional tasks like dog walking and house sitting! We have both had dogs our entire lives, all sizes and life stages. We began Rover in 2019 after losing our 10 yr old black lab to diabetes, looking to keep our home lively. We are both excited to meet your pets and help out! I work from home and will be with your best friend all day long. I am up early for my morning walk and would love the company of your dog! I live in a great dog friendly community, we have lots of great green space and multiple dog parks within walking distance! Would happily spend the day with your dog at the dog park if that is a good place for them.

“Ethel is a great sitter! She was easy and quick to communicate with. Her home is welcoming and well set up for dogs to have plenty of space to play! We look forward to having our dog stay with her again soon.”

“Michelle took good care of my pup. Her dog Milo is a sweetie. She has a nice yard for them to play in and my dog also enjoyed relaxing by her side on the couch.”

About: I have 16 years of experience with seven different breeds of dogs. I have a connection with every dog that I’ve come across and rarely experience bad moments. Dogs have flaws just like us humans and my job is to take care of the dog for you but to also bring out happiness and energy of out every dog. I treat dogs like humans because they also have emotions. I take care of sick puppies and dogs as well. You will appreciate the love your dog will receive and some special training if needed. I have a job but I make my own schedule so my time varies but not as much. I will make your dog a priority. Our experience will only help your pet grow! I have a lot of time due to making my own schedule during the day. I rarely leave home so I have a lot of time to give attention I don’t have a fenced in yard but I have tons of space out back and we can walk as many times as your pup needs

“Jasmine was absolutely wonderful, and I really appreciated her quick communication, attention to detail, and compassion! She was able to respond to my last minute booking request and meet with me the same day. My dog had SO much fun with Jasmine’s dogs and the rest of her little crew. She really trusts Jasmine and actively looks forward to going to daycare camp. My dog is stubborn and will definitely let me know if she doesn’t like someone, so it was a relief to know she was spending her day having a good time. I got photos and updates throughout the day, and Jasmine responded quickly whenever I messaged her. I appreciated the flexibility with coordinating drop off/pick up times. Didn’t use her home pick up services, but it’s a nice option to consider. My dog had an awesome experience, and it was wayyyy better for her to be making friends and having fun than staying at home and waiting for me to come back. Highly recommend!!”

About: Lifetime lover of furry animal friends - adopting my puggle and in turn, her puppy sister/bff the Norfolk Terrier were easily the two best decisions I ever made. You can rest assured that your doggies are safe, comfortable and pawtying down with me by their side. My girls have warm blankets waiting in the dryer when we come in from cold walks. I believe in going a few extra miles to truly spoil our fur ball angel nuggets bc why not? Being greeted by them when you walk through the door is the best thing ever and I have been caring for animals the majority of my life. This is the most rewarding, satisfying and not to mention FUN "job" of all time, pick me

“Julie was the absolute best! She was able to accommodate our travel schedule with no problem and gave Ziggy a very fun afternoon. We definitely recommend her for any pet stays!”

“Ivana was amazing watching my sweet Milo. She cared for him & he was always excited to go back. Ivana gave me updates and was great with communication. 10/10 would recommend ❤️”

I grew up with dogs my entire life, walk/pet sit for many dogs in my neighborhood, and currently have a 2.5 year old fur-baby of my own.

I am dedicated to providing exceptional pet care services that cater to the unique needs of each family, ensuring their comfort, happiness, and well-being. My schedule is extremely flexible at this time. Please reach out to discuss your needs and how I can best assist you and your pup! My services can be easily tailored to fit each family's needs.

I am also open spending time in your home as well. Let's chat about the options!

About: What sets me apart is the genuine care and attention I give every dog. I treat each pup like they’re my own, taking the time to understand their personality, routine, and needs. I’m reliable, patient, and loving, creating a comfortable and present environment where dogs feel happy and cared for while their owners are away! I’m available throughout the entire month of July and will be home consistently, which means I can give your pet plenty of attention, supervision, and care throughout the day. I’m able to be present during my stays and keep up with your pet’s routine, whether that includes walks, playtime, meals, medication reminders, or just extra companionship! My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while they’re in my care. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, habits, and needs so I can provide care that feels familiar and stress-free. In my home, I provide a calm and supervised environment where pets can relax and feel at ease. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and routines while making sure their pets receive the same attention, patience, and affection I would give my own.
