DogServices is dedicated to providing the finest dog boarding and dog daycare facilities in Richmond. Founded in 1990 by local dog trainer Donna Crumpler, the business began when clients started asking her to care for their pets during vacations. In 2007, after 18 successful years, Donna handed over the leash to a group of investors who were (and remain) loyal clients. Since then, DogServices has added our Short Pump location and focused on attracting, developing, and retaining a high-caliber staff of dedicated dog professionals. DogServices focuses every day on safety, cleanliness, client communication, and tail-wagging dog happiness. Our care is distinguished by dog-behavior evaluations, a 3-point safety check system and more. Visit one of our three locations to find out how DogServices’ experience and expertise can make the difference for you and you dog.
Meet Our Team
Coleen Shockman
Operations Director at DogServices
Upon moving to Richmond in 2009 Coleen joined the DogServices team as a kennel attendant but was quickly promoted to the management team in the same year. After four years with DogServices she briefly left the company in May 2013 to pursue her dream and begin River City Dog Excursions with her business partner. Even though she enjoyed the experience of building something from the ground up she entrusted the operations to her business partner and rejoined the management team in March 2018. In 2021 she was promoted to oversee all locations and is looking forward to helping DogServices continue to grow and evolve.
Deana Hartwig
Manager at Big DogServices
I am so thankful for the opportunity DogServices has given me to serve you and your furbabies. I love coming to work each day and I love being able to work with each of you to determine the absolute best care possible for your doggie daughters and sons.
Davida Stamper
Manager at Little Dog Services
Davida has been dedicated to working with dogs since 2015, beginning her journey in the animal care world through a dog training apprenticeship in Virginia. Under the guidance of certified trainers, she quickly developed a deep understanding of canine behavior and body language. Her experience expanded into daycare and boarding environments, where her natural connection with dogs continued to grow.
In 2020, Davida joined DogServices as a receptionist. Her strong work ethic, leadership skills, and genuine love for dogs led to a promotion to Assistant Manager, and soon after, she became the Manager of Little DogServices. In this role, she leads with compassion, always prioritizing the safety, comfort, and happiness of every dog in her care.
