Pet Boarding Training in Richmond

“My shepherd is super reactive. BB and Dr Chub are AMAZING. No issues or shaming. I’ll never use a different vet!“

“Today May 6, 2026 I took Mr Cash for a Grooming Appointment and was Charged Much more than I was his Last appointment. I'm Not sure what the difference is from last time and this time but. I took My Dog here for the 1st time on a Saturday and Yes It's Worth the Payment. I'm Impressed Thanks Team“

“What a wonderful volunteer organization!! A loving, caring and training philosophy. I have taken 2 classes. They were very educational, well-organized with dedicated and friendly staff Almost 1 on 1 training.“

“My dog Nova sustained an injury while out and about and was in a lot of pain. Our regular vet did not have availability to see her, so I called here and they were able to get her seen within an hour and a half. The staff were helpful and showed Nova so much care and affection. Dr. Infantes was great about communicating his thoughts and desired approach, and they kept me informed throughout the whole process. They were upfront about costs, and I appreciated being able to have the required meds filled in-house instead of having to go to a pharmacy.“

“Very kind people and reasonably priced! My dog has anxiety and they have taken time to really comfort her and I cant thank them enough for that! We will be coming here for now on.“

“Wonderful staff who love what they do and go the extra mile to take care of our fur baby. ❤️“

“I love that the Dogtopia team always greets my dog with such genuine excitement. It assures me he's getting great care during boarding, daycare, or grooming.“

“This place is amazing! We were first introduced with Brittney to train our crazy dog Penny and she was incredible. We now continue to bring our girl to get groomed by Miki and she does an amazing job. Valerie truly runs an amazing organization and we couldn’t recommend it more“

“the staff here is great. they are all super nice and supportive; i love seeing them every week.

they also all take the time to know each dog and their behaviors which is great. if i were in the financial situation to do so, i would take her here multiple times a week.

they also have great grooming services! she has been groomed from a face trim to a full body and each time has been great.

she loves being here and it gives her the time play with other dogs and keep her social. while she seems to have unlimited energy, she definitely snoozes hard after a day here (which is great for me).

they also offer live cams to check on your dogs while they are here. i haven’t used them yet, but am excited to do so soon.“

“Have been taking our doggies here for years! Such a sweet place, and our dogs always get the best care!“

“This place showered my dog with love. My puppy went from scared to enter to pulling me to the door within 1 week. They knew her by name by the second day she came to daycare. The rates are great too - lots of payment options to choose from.“

“Our dogs love ADA! Our puppy enjoyed a week of day school training and both of our dogs loved their week vacation of boarding. I appreciate the pictures shared every day that show our dogs having fun while we are away, which makes it much less stressful to travel!“

“I typically use Google reviews to give good-work kudos for merchants and service providers, but not this time. On Friday I left my nine-year old cockapoo, Cooper, at Holiday Barn (Midlothian) for a three day weekend of boarding, with a bath to be given yesterday (Sunday.) When I went to pick him up shortly ago, it took much longer than usual for them to bring him out. When he appeared, his paws, face, and backside were wet. I asked the fellow that brought him out what happened. He said that during the morning kennel cleaning some water got into his space, and it took longer to bring him out as “ they were drying him off.” He was still very wet (enough to make my car seat wet,) so I can’t imagine how soaked he was *before* the tried to dry him off.) The customer service manager overheard the conversation and asked what the issue was. She told me that, since I had said I would be picking him up at 8:00 am, this was, I guess, somehow excused. I assured her I’d never said an 8:00 am pickup, but rather mid-morning (I arrived just before 11:00.) She then asked what they could do to resolve the situation. I didn’t ask for any refund, but made clear it was unacceptable and needs to never happen again, with anyone’s dog. I don’t know what cleaner, if any, they use to clean the kennel floors, but I can certainly assume that, even if none, the water of a kennel floor was hardly clean. And Cooper had been sitting in it, and putting his face in it. After taking him up to the bathtub to rinse off his face, paws, and haunches, he certainly doesn’t look like he just got groomed.

This is distressing, as we’ve used Holiday Barn for years and have always been satisfied. This experience, however, is making me reconsider. I’ll hope whatever water he may have drank will cause no problems. At any rate, they've definitely earned a one star rating today.

Edit 2-28-26
Despite the bad experience related above, we’ve had so many more good ones we’ve given them additional chances. I’ve boarded Cooper twice, and I’ve had him groomed twice. All were up the standards I expect. As a consequence, I’m increasing the stars to four and confidently recommend you give them a try.“

“Just visited for the first time for a nail trim, but they were so friendly and professional that I immediately booked a bath appointment for my baby“

“I love Dr. Zuccaro (Dr. Mike is what I refer to him as, but he also goes by Dr. Z. LOL) and his entire team. I started going there a little over 15 years ago with my yellow lab, Harley. I recently had to put her down, and he was so kind and sweet. He remembered me bringing her in the first time and how they saved her life as a 7.6 lbs puppy. His clinic was the only one she ever visited, and I will continue to see only him and his team for all my future pet care needs. I highly recommend his clinic.“

“My girl absolutely loves it here!! She’s still a puppy and has very bad anxiety, but is always so happy to come here! When we tell her it’s time to go to daycare or boarding, she gets her harness and runs to the front door with it and waits there until it’s time to go! When we drop her off, she gets so excited she can barely even contain herself and immediately runs over to the staff to give them hugs and kisses and everyone working is always so thrilled to see her. And since she has such bad anxiety, this is always really nice to see. I always feel comfortable leaving after drop off and always feel heart warmed by how happy she is to see all the staff and how happy they are to see her too! And on top of that, they have excellent prices!! I couldn’t recommend Dog’s Day Inn enough!!“

“We lost our dog Cash at only three years old, and everything happened within 48 hours of finding out he was sick. It was sudden, shocking, and incredibly heartbreaking for our family. Through it all, Dr. Tony showed a level of compassion and support that we will always be grateful for.

He guided us through each step with honesty, patience, and genuine care. Even in such a fast-moving and painful situation, he made sure we understood what was happening and never felt alone in our decisions. The handwritten card he sent afterward was so thoughtful and sincere. It meant more than he probably realizes and showed how deeply he cares about both his patients and their families.

Losing Cash so suddenly was devastating, but having a veterinarian like Dr. Tony and the entire staff there that day made a very difficult time a little easier to bear. We truly appreciate the compassion, kindness, and professionalism he showed our family.“

“The staff here are so kind and friendly. My dog, Cosette, begins smiling and wiggling as soon as we walk in the door. It is a 'no frills' place but my dog doesn't need a pool or gym equipment. She needs a loving staff and plenty of dogs to play with. It is affordable and they will even bath her and trim her nails for me. She goes to daycare 2 days a week. Because she has so many positive interactions there, she was comfortable being boarded for a few days.“

“Toby Town RVA is the best! Our dogs absolutely love their time there. They get very excited when we drop them off for day care or stay care and never look back as they enter the building! The staff is amazing, and the dogs obviously love the attention! We highly recommend Toby Town RVA!“

“Great place to take your pet for either a day or overnight stay or for grooming.Prices are very reasonable. Strongly recommend“
