I could see they were calm individuals and honestly this helped me feel at ease with leaving my little girl with them for grooming. You can drop off your sight and they give you an estimate of about when the pet will be ready for pickup. There's no real need to have a big parking area for something like this. However they also have a day care for dogs and I think we'll try it out sometime. There are a few parking spots on the premises and plenty of parking on the road. This is on a side street away from Midlothian turnpike so it's a relatively quiet area anyway. We will return.

We went from him having…read moreto get dragged out the car bc of his unwillingness to leave mama to him hopping out ready to go without even looking back *tear*. From day one, just the amount of effort that it takes to get in this place.. I knew this spot was the real deal. The tour I had to go on prior to bringing my baby almost took two hours!! They were so thorough and it made me feel comfortable about where I was leaving him. They also do an assessment of your dog in the form of a half day daycare visit to assess your dogs personality and ensure it's a good fit. While they don't do "report cards" here they post a massive amount of pics at the end of each day showing the dogs in action, which I look forward to! I am truly grateful for Gloria and her team and all that they do for our fur babies! Heads up..there's always a waitlist for new customers due to their growing popularity but it's so worth it!

What an excellent place for dogs. They run like clockwork here, which I love. The facility is…read morespotlessly clean to the point of being near odorless, and they have many play areas for matching up dogs with similar temperaments and play styles. The staff is attentive and kind, and they take pictures of your dogs every day they attend, so you can see what a good time they're having! I can't say enough good things.

If I could give them 6 stars, I would! Thanks for helping us with our special day and making Benji a part of it. We couldn't have done it without your help!

I cannot recommend their Grooming team, especially Megan enough. He's never looked better. My dog is a very specific bread so for them to know how to style his cuts, is great for me. I recently moved to the city, and honestly the 35 minute drive is STILL worth it!!! I would recommend grooming and boarding here 1 million times. Truly. Hats off to Amanda and the front office team.

My 6 month old dog is dead because I trusted Pawcienda. Please don't make the same mistake!…read more It has been too hard to type these words out, as I come to the reality of life without my best friend, Duke, our chocolate lab puppy who died due to an outbreak of Parainfluenza (aka Kennel Cough) at Pawcienda. Duke was at Pawcienda for training with Stephen, and also enrolled in the doggie day care. He was exposed to Parainfluenza from another dog at their doggie day care, but I was lead to believe it wasn't serious and that he should be fine in a few days. Before this he was a healthy dog and had all of his vaccinations. They weren't going to take him to the vet, but my wife made them! We now know that by law a kennel/boarding facility has to take a dog to the vet, so this was the first red flag! The vet realized it was bad and had turned into Pneumonia, so they rushed Duke to a critical care vet, VRCC. During this time I was on the phone with the owner, Jeff, and he told me that they had cases of Kennel Cough for 2 weeks! That means that this was going on before I even brought Duke to Pawcienda, and they placed their business above the welfare of my dog. If we had been made aware we could have prevented all of this! Duke died 2 days after we were made aware of him being exposed to Kennel Cough. This is very unusual, so an investigation by Animal Control was opened, and a Necropsy was performed. The findings of the Necropsy determined that Duke had Kennel cough for 4 - 6 days prior to death. This evidence proves that Duke was exposed much earlier than we were lead to believe. In addition during the investigation the animal control officer was informed that they had put up a sign alerting people to ongoing Kennel Cough on a Friday, and we were not notified until Monday. This along with the Necropsy results shows that he was there all weekend with Kennel Cough and either A) was not being monitored closely enough to recognize the signs, or B) they were negligent in not providing care to a sick dog early enough to prevent death. Since Duke's death we have found out that this is a serious outbreak of Kennel Cough, that has killed many dogs in NJ, and has now started to spread in Virginia. Please avoid having this happen to your dog, and avoid Pawcienda.

River City Dog Excursions has been ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I have a 1 year old aussiedoodle puppy, and…read morehis dog walker Meghin is simply outstanding. It is evident that she really loves Finnigan and treats him like royalty. My favorite thing, I would have to say, is getting pictures of him enjoying his day on walks or play dates with his "dog friends" and on nature hikes. Not only do I love how she treats him, but when I get home, he's actually tired! This whole company has gone above and beyond in my opinion, they are always on time, always reliable, and are even so dedicated as to walk Finnigan in the snow (ps: he loves the snow!). April is the one that runs the company, and from the first moment I met her I knew I was going to be impressed with the company. She had me fill out some paperwork (dog food, allergies, vet, vaccination history, etc)... which is a true sign of excellence in my opinion. I also love how there are multiple people in the company... for example, although Meghin is his normal dog walker, one time April ended up walking Finnigan because Meghin had to go out of town. Another time, I had to go out of town for the weekend and Meghin wasn't available, so another person was able to stay with him for the night. Another amazing thing too is that they make sure you get to meet the pet-sitter or dog walker before they watch your animals. Every single time, they have allowed for a free consultation so that each person can get to know the dog. I love this company and will hopefully be using them for a very long time. They're professional, reliable, personable, trustworthy, flexible, dedicated, and they LOVE YOUR ANIMALS LIKE THEIR OWN! Can't get much better than that in my opinion. Also, you get what you pay for... so although you can ask your neighbor to maybe watch your dog for free, you won't get the same attention to detail, customer service, quality, and kindness like River City Dog Excursions.

He comes home full of smiles and immediately plops down to nap. She sends the best pictures and videos too. I was really nervous to let someone besides me have Norman off-leash with them but I can tell from the videos that he trusts Meghin and she knows how to control him! I really feel at ease that Norman gets to have so much fun during the day while I'm at work. Thanks River City Dog Excursions!

These ladies are great! Lots of dogs getting groomed. There is even a 'play and stay' area for short term doggie day care. All the dogs there looked relaxed and not stressed.

Today my pup son went to see the best Groomer in RVA! The grooming tub is run by a sweet soul…read moreAustin! Austin specializes in a grooming experience with pups that isn't traumatic to them. She really listens to the pup and their needs. She takes her time and introduces herself to them and spends time playing with them. If your pup needs a break, she listens to them and takes time to play and rest. She also works hard to familiarize them with the process and tools. Even simple things like not putting them on the table. She lowers it to their level and encourages them to step on before hooking them in for safety and lifting the table. We were greeted by Austin with an infectious smile and bubbly personality. Bentley was super excited and after some sniffing around he went potty in the establishment. She assured us everything was fine, loved on him and cleaned the mess. We spoke about what were we're looking for and left. She took her time with my boy Bentley and made him look like the gentleman he is! We were able to choose his bandana and if we wanted a cologne spray after his services. We received a text that said Bentley would be done in 30 minutes. When we arrived our happy handsome boy was joyously lounging on the couch after some play time with her next pup. She went over our services, how much she cut off and payment. Super easy process. We were able to book with her online, and save my card on file for easy checkout in the establishment. She carries all natural treats for the pup and is a wealth of knowledge. No need for us to look any farther, we have found our forever groomer!
