Dog Sitting Chester

About: I’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. My family and friends have always counted on me to care for our/their pets when needed. I have walked, bathed, fed, snuggled and played with them! I am a full time worker, five days a week, nine hours a day from 9AM to 6PM. And I also have a part-time job that I do on the weekends, but I am still open to any service I could possibly provide for you and your pet! I receive my part-time job schedule weekly schedule every Saturday, so communication is key. I will care for your pets in your home by providing them the care that they need, walks, runs, snuggles, playtime, you name it! If there is anything specific you want me to know or abide by please let me know and I will make sure you and your pet are left satisfied :)

“We came into town from LA for a wedding and Rebecca took care of my sweet girl like she was her own! Best idea ever to book time with her! In unfamiliar settings it was great to know that my pup was in caring and good hands, if we come back Rebecca will be seeing Wynn again!”

“Hana is amazing! She’s so flexible and understanding when it comes to schedules and demands of each animal in the home. She truly cares about our animals (she will leave our tv on for our dog so she isn’t lonely) and does enrichment treats without us even asking her to. I trust her with our babies 100%”

“Alecia was very prompt with her visits and she was wonderful with my fur babies. I appreciate it her patience and knowledge of dealing with all types of dogs.”

“Amanda was great! Our plans unexpectedly changed and she accommodated us without hesitation. We received a detailed update on our kitty and knew that she was being taken care of. We will definitely use her again!”

Alex M.

“Grace sent us lovely updates and pictures of our cats each day which made being away much easier. The cats were well played with and barely seemed to notice when we returned 🤣.”

“Lindsey was reliable and great with our “son”!! Sent us plenty of pics and gave him nice walks. Would definitely hire again.”

About: Im a dog lover at heart and mind, with a history of dog training (agility and obedience) and multiple references for dog sitting. I do work full-time with a flexable schedule which allows me a lunch break for extra care. Feel free to make contact with any questions. About this sitter: Im an outgoing, energetic, pet loving person. I lost my girl Arwen who I had for 16 years. I am available for house sitting with morning and evening drop by or overnights. Feel free to make contact with any questions. Depending on distance from work I may be able to do lunch time drop bys also. Cost and needs, with length of time and number of pets, may be negotiable. Why I love dog sitting I've been a dog lover my entire life...I grew up with multiple kinds of dogs; poodles to black labs. After college I adopted a cat then settling down here in RVA where I rescued Arwen, my mini-Australian Shepard. We had a history of obedience and agility training, she was CGC certified. My experience administering medication Yes, I have given medication to multiple dogs and cats. I do work full-time near Chippenham and Midlothian Turnpike, so if close I can do a lunch drop by. Currently I am available for house/dog sitting including overnights at your home or mine. I am a k9 lover and would spend as much time loving, petting, and cuddling your pup as they would like. Walks are important, short or long, and outside hikes for nice days are great also.

About: I have over a decade of professional pet care experience as well as a lifetime of personal pet care experience. I prefer to work with the elderly or medically complex pets as I know they need special attention, adherence to routines, and a calm environment. I focus on providing fun daycare and boarding for pets that don’t do well in regular boarding facilities and require a more home-like experience. Prices are negotiable after a meet and greet. Please fill out your profile in full before meeting! Incomplete/no profile image profiles will not be given my address. I work from home so I spend a majority of my day with my pets and guest pets. Dogs are given mostly free range inside and allowed outside into the huge fenced yard many times a day. They get playtime with other pets and alone time when needed. Our yard is fenced and our house is doggy proofed to avoid trash cans, toilets, and non-chewable items from being accessed. Dogs are crated when they can’t be supervised.

About: I've cared and been around pets and dogs of all breeds all my life. My family has always had dogs so I have experience feeding, grooming, playing, walking, administering simple medication, and basic training. I'm a mom of 7 that works part-time, with little ones in school, so I have the means, time, professionalism, and drive to play and care for your four legged family member, when your unavailable to.... And your able to rest assure that they are well taken care of :) When caring for pets I am able to visit and care for them in their natural setting.... Of their home, so they more natural and relaxed. Please reach out if your interested in weekend boarding at my home.

About: After recently relocating from Dallas, I’m excited to bring more than 30 years of pet-care experience to my new community. Back in Dallas, I ran an in-home pet-boarding business for a full decade, caring for pets of every breed, size, and personality. Over the years, I’ve also fostered countless dogs through local rescue programs, helping shy, senior, and special-needs pups find their confidence — and their forever homes. However, my experience goes far beyond cuddles and playtime. I’m skilled at administering oral, topical, and injectable medications, and I'm comfortable caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies to aging companions who need a little extra TLC. I believe every animal deserves calm, consistent care that keeps their routine — and their spirits — steady while their people are away. I'm a writer/editor that works remotely, and I have a stay-at-home dog dad to hang with my personal fur kids while I'm away. Point is, I have the a ton of flexibility. I care for your pets just as YOU care for your pets. That is, you set their schedule (feeding, bedtime, play, etc.), and I carry it out while you're away.

“Lashell was great—prompt and excellent with communication. When Tut insisted on a short walk in the neighborhood, she was accommodating which was most appreciated. Will work with her again!”

About: I've been dog sitting since covid; things have changed but not the love for animals. Since my start I've dog sat for a wide varity of dogs. Puppies, oldies, big, small. Some requiring a lot of attention to help distract them, some that just sit by the door waiting for their pawrents to come home. From medications to special diets, specific schedules and give attention if you have the extra time. I will treat your dog as my own! Something you can count on is they will be loved and well taken care of. Pet care is my top priority. Making sure they are fed on time and they get plenty of play time and walks while you are gone. I do currently work but my schedule is constantly changing so I have a lot of freedom to change it as needed. I unfortunately can't accept pets into my home as I don't currently live alone. But I'm more than willing to stay over whenever you need me to.

“Brandie did an outstanding job caring for my mother cat, three kittens, and an older kitten. She went above and beyond when the weather turned cold and rainy, bringing extra blankets to ensure they were comfortable. She even came by to check on them during heavy rain, quickly discerned the cats' personalities, and was excellent at communicating. I highly recommend Brandie for her thoughtful and exceptional care, and I will certainly be booking with her again!”

About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I have over 5 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities, including my own pets and my professional experience as a kennel attendant at a pet daycare. I’m experienced with walks, feeding routines, baths, medication, and providing care for pets with different needs and temperaments. I understand that every pet has their own personality and routine, so I take the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. My goal is to give your pet the same attention, patience, and love I would give my own. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets the time and attention they deserve. I plan my days around making sure each pet gets proper care, playtime, walks, and check-ins without feeling rushed. I treat every pet like they’re my own. I focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and following their normal routine so they feel relaxed while their owner is away. I pay attention to their behavior, needs, and any instructions provided to make sure they receive the best care possible.

“Thank you so much. She did very good with the cats, and they are not the easiest. Always showed up and made sure they were happy and took lots of pics 🙂”

About: I have previously taken care of dogs, cats, and even a pet snake. I am someone that is reliable, communicative, and dependable. I will make sure that your animals are happy and healthy. I also have a pet rescue cat of my own and will treat your pet as if they were my own! I am currently off for the summer and have open availability. My schedule is very flexible through the end of August. Whatever works the best for you! As long as you leave detailed instructions, your animals should be in great hands. I am also very communicative and can send you updates when needed/wanted. I have a pet rescue cat of my own.

About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was 10 years old and I am 22 now. I consider dogs to be one of the many keys to happiness so I treat them as such. Whether that be long walks in the neighborhood, endless cuddles, or a friend to play with, they get what they need. I have never discriminated against a dog based on size or breed because all dogs deserve love and care no matter what. I take care of my dogs to the best of my ability so I will always do the same for others. You can be assured that they are in good hands. So if you need someone to love and care for your dog when you're not there I'm your girl! I am currently the primary care taker for my family dog, Raine. This includes walks 2x day, feedings, bath, etc. I ensure he takes his medicine, has lots of play time and clean bedding. I do not currently care for other dogs in my home. However, in my client’s home I ensure that the space is clear and void of anything that could bring harm to their pets. I make sure to regularly check up on them and listen to their needs.

“Great communication, went above and beyond to care for our Kitties- she even took the trash out!! Thankful to have Hailey look in on our babies while we traveled for Thanksgiving. Will book again!”
