Meet our Office Manager: Heather Drake

My name is Heather and I’ve been with Dog’s Day Inn since the summer of 2013. I come from a long line of dog lovers, trainers, breeders, and groomers. My mom jokes that I was born in a whelping box. I adore dogs and cats. I own and American Eskimo named Einstein, a Toy Poodle named Cinnamon, and two cats: Scarlett and Six. My life and love revolves around all of my four legged friends at home and here at Dog’s Day Inn. I look forward to meeting and spending time with all of our existing and new customers, especially their furry friends.

Dog's Day Inn Pricing

Our Kennels. See for yourself.

Our kennels are equipped with large indoor/outdoor runs that are heated and/or cooled. We even leave a radio on 24 hours to comfort the dogs. Each kennel has an orthopedic kennel deck at all times, and at night we have tuck-ins with blankets and cookies for everyone at no additional charge.

Each and every dog will get at least two play times a day, either alone or with “friends” or family. We feed Native Level 1 Lamb and Rice foods at no extra charge, but if your pet has a special diet or medication we can administer it.

Before boarding your pet, we must see proof of shots. For dogs, we require a current rabies, bordetella (kennel cough), and yearly booster (DHLPP).

Your dog may enjoy toys and small blankets from home, but we just can’t be responsible for lost or damaged ones!!

Pet Boarding - Richmond, VA

Boarding services are offered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year!  We provide a fun, safe, and loving atmosphere for your special canine friend.
Your dog will be housed in one of our three modern kennel buildings in a private climate controlled suite that has indoor/outdoor access at all times.

Additionally, each and every guest receives a minimum of 2 exercise sessions per day.

The dogs are rotated out individually, or in groups based upon size and temperament. We realize that all dogs are not friendly, and some even prefer to stay to themselves. We are committed to your pet’s well being and comfort while in our care!

Remember that we are an all inclusive facility; there are no hidden charges.

Richmond, VA Cat Boarding

For our customers with a flair for felines, our kitty boarders have a room all to themselves, away from the dogs. Each cat receives his very own three-story kitty condo, with a bottom level for the litter box, a middle level for food and water, and a top level where they can perch peacefully.

The cats are individually let out of their condos and into the “cattery” once a day for some one-on-one playtime with our staff. To stay with us, however, we do require your kitty to be fully immunized against rabies, feline leukemia, and distemper.

Anita Winkler, Dog's Day Inn Shift Manager

I’m Anita, a shift manager at Dog’s Day Inn. I have been here for three years, loving and caring for every pet that walks in our door. I have four dogs of my own, a Belgian Malinois, Ben SchH III, and three Giant Schnauzers, Akira SchH III, FH1, Chipsy, and Ritzi. I have been working with dogs since they were taller than me; I could never see myself doing anything else. Every pet that walks in our door is treated like our own. We cater to their every need and desire, not to mention spoiling them rotten.

Meet Beth Shriver, Dog's Day Inn Office Manager

Hi, I’m the office manager at Dog’s Day Inn. I live with my husband, Mike, our two sons, and our four dogs. We have two westies, Sylvia and Bee, a yorkie, Sophie, and a miniature dachshund, Grace. I compete with my dogs in earth dog, nosework and agility. Grace and Bee both have their Junior Earthdog titles, and are working on their Senior Earthdog titles.

I have just started to compete in agility with Bee. I have been at Dog’s Day Inn from the very beginning. I even married into the family. If that’s not commitment, I don’t know what is.

Meet Kristen Shriver, Dog's Day Inn Shift Manager

My name is Kristen and I’m a very familiar face around Dog’s Day Inn. I have two pit bulls named Angel and Frank. I also have a French Bulldog named Mimi. You will find her searching Dog’s Day Inn for spare kibbles.

I’m Paige’s daughter so I’ve been working with the pups since I was old enough to spray a hose. I started caring for my own dogs as a chore when I was a child. Now, I care for my own and many more! Dog’s Day Inn is a family business so each dog that comes through our front door is a new family member. I love my job because there’s nothing better or easier than sharing my love with animals.
