We have had the best experience working with Stephen, an incredibly talented dog trainer to train our littermate siblings, who can reasonably be described as Tasmanian devils all the time. Their littermate energy is INSANE!
When I first met with Stephen, the first thing I told him was that I didn’t trust my dogs. Stephen trained me how to properly and SAFELY use e-collars on my pups bc I had never used e-collars on any other dogs I’ve rescued.
Stephen’s patience with me was biblical, quite honestly. Compared to me, working with my Tasmanian devils was easy.
I learned so much from Stephen, that I signed up for multiple training sessions. And on top of working with Stephen to obedience train our pups, we also have the pups enrolled in doggie day care at Pawscienda, have our pups kenneled at Pawscienda when we travel, and have our pups groomed at Pawscienda. Honestly, at every level of service we have always been impressed with all the staff, the philosophy that guides Pawscienda’s values and the wealth of expertise and experience they bring to not just our pups, but all the pups, kitties, and bunnies etc., entrusted to their care. We wholeheartedly recommend Pawscienda Pet Resort for all your pets’ needs.
Thank you for your enduring commitment to excellence Jeff, Gayle, Stephen, Amanda, Payton, Barbara, Lizzie, Weston and all the talented and dedicated staff at Pawscienda!

My dog always hated being groomed until he came here! He left Pawscienda clean, happy, and not anxious. Thanks for taking good care of him!

Hands down the best dog daycare/ groomer in the Richmond area. Great prices, friendly staff. Unique in the fact that you will never catch their staff glued to their electronics. We moved away (across country) and I constantly have to remind our dogs that we aren’t in “Kansas” anymore 😞 There truly is no other dog daycare like this, one of a kind.

We can’t thank Stephan enough for transforming our dog Sully into a very well mannered, disciplined and trained dog. Stephen was so patient and kind to our family as we learned to help Sully. He is a master teacher! We highly recommend Paws Cienda. The facility is top notch! Very clean and lots of room for animals to learn and play. All staff seem happy and the vibe is so wonderful. There’s not another place like this in Richmond area. Thank you Stephen for an amazing job!!! Sully misses you already!

Boarded my cat here recently, after searching the entire Richmond market for a facility that would allow my boy to have time/space to roam, and wasn't charging $10 per 10 minutes of playing with him lol (I was boarding him for a week so I didn't want him all cooped up). So Montpelier it is! I LOVED that Pawscienda had the cat room where he could roam, scratch at posts, lie on the window perch and chill, etc. It was only $5 extra per day for him to enjoy the room. Well worth it. Plus, he's super friendly and just all-around a sweet boy, but tends to get nervous and timid in new situations -- so it was really nice when I called to check up on how he was doing (since it was his first time there) and they let me know that not only was he enjoying himself, and the company of the staff, they had actually posted a couple of pics on their Facebook so I got to see for myself! I definitely recommend them for boarding. We had a great experience! And BONUS: My cat is usually a super fast eater -- combined with the fact that he only has 1 remaining tooth of his bottom 4 center teeth, so it's hard for him to chew sometimes -- so he often regurgitates after eating. I don't know what they did or what the new setting did, but he is now taking his time on his meals (...eh...at least more-so than before haha) and it's great for the both of us!

PawsCienda has great staff members, friendly, helpful, great with all our pets, cats and dogs. Some have needed meds when they've been boarded and I could always trust them to handle it, even with my very uncooperative cat. Our dogs love doggie daycare and the groomer is awesome!

We were referred to Pawcienda from a previous customer. We couldn’t be happier with our experience. We took our 8 month old rescue dog there for obedience camp with Stephen. The whole experience was wonderful. Stephen explained everything very clearly and showed us how to continue his training at home. We enjoyed that we were able to visit part way through his training and see his progress; but we were really impressed when we returned at the completion of the training to a well behaved dog. We are so happy with the results and will definitely recommend Pawcienda to anyone looking for dog training/obedience.

We sent our dog dog for the training course and she returned so much better behaved! She listens better and learned a lot of new tricks. The staff was always professional and communicated with us throughout her training session. Pawscienda gave us all the tools to make sure she stays on top of her training. We will definitely be using them in the future.
