Dog Boarding in Prospect, VA

“Layna and the family have always taken great care of my two fur babies. This time is no exception. Especially since one of my pups had to be given medications twice a day by syringe. She handled it like a champ especially since this was a last minute notification. She is my favorite sitter and she will always be my first choice. Highly recommended!!”

“Dana has been truly wonderful to me and my dog. She is very responsive, and a life saver.. Especially when I needed her services at such a short time notice. My dog can be pretty energetic at times, but Dana IS the "Dog Whisperer" lol. I will definitely use her services again in the near future!”

Candi K.

“I was in a bind. My friend couldn’t watch my dog for a planned trip very last minute. Gina and Christopher saved my vacation. It was so difficult to leave my doggie behind but Gina kept in touch consistently. My furbaby did great and was in awesome, loving hands!”

Victoria O.

“She was amazing at accommodating our pup very very last minute. Milo came home exhausted from all of the play! She was amazing with communication and sending lots videos and photos while we were away. He had a great time!”

About: We breed and train Chesapeake Bay Retrievers that are raised for Hunting, Hunt Tests, Obedience, and for conformation(shows). We have been involved with many breeds including Great Danes, Setters, Retrievers, and even Mutt Mixes. We start the day before sunrise to let the dogs out for a run and feed them. Around lunch time the pups are let out to play and exercise some more. We feed animals again around sunset or about 12 hours from their breakfast meal and let them exercise and play. One more outing before we go to bed where we always check in with our "puppy cams" before nodding off to sleep. Your dogs will be exercised multiple times a day on the farm on an adventure that changes based on the weather. In the summer we put a kiddie pool out for them to play in which we keep nice and clean. Some warm days we may take the dogs on a hike to the creek in the summer time where they can run around and have fun, other days it may be an outing around the fenced in areas. Any specific medical needs will be taken care of based on their needs and within our abilities. We will exercise them individually unless we are informed otherwise on their play pals.

“We could not be happier with Katie...she sent daily texts and updates of all the fun things they were doing with Guinness and her family seemed to genuinely enjoy having him which is the best you can ask for when you're not there to take care of your pet yourself. We will definitely be using her again!”

About: Rover says "What sets you apart from other sitters?" My answer is simple. Find me at :KolorfulK9(.)com: Rover takes nearly 20% of the final price you pay, so I get 20% less income. 🩷 Geriatric and Special Needs Care if my specialty when it comes to pets. While I will happily accept ALL dogs under 30lbs, I specialize in elderly pets/special needs pets who don't do well in boarding situations and need extra care throughout the day. I'm well-versed in administering oral medication, injections, and even subcutaneous fluids as needed. I am available 24hrs a day for potty breaks and medication routines. I am currently the only sitter in the western area of VA that is certified through the Professional Animal Care Certification Council, a 3rd party certification. This means they do not offer any classes or teaching, but only offer the test, which costs around $400. I am also a member of the International Boarding & Pet Services Association and the International Association of Canine Professionals. I carry Pet Sitting Insurance as well. All in all, I love pets of all ages and sizes. The older ones, the smaller ones, and the ones who need just a little extra care have my heart a little more. (Please note that this site keeps over 20% of my earnings, so I do charge a bit more to book through Rover vs my personal one of KolorfulK9 ) I have availability for the following pups: all pups under 40 lbs, elderly pets of any size, and special-needs pets. I am home most of the day; when I am not, my husband is available to feed/medicate as needed. There will never be a time when your pet is left alone for more than an hour or two at a time (such as needing to run errands or going out for a quick dinner). Next, Rover asks me how I care for pets in my home. My home schedule: I am a homebody, so whenever I am not at work, you can usually find me at home relaxing with my dogs in our 'dog' room, watching Netflix, reading a book, or playing some video games on my computer. Your pup would be right there along with us, relaxing and getting all kinds of love. I am a traveling dog photographer, and if I'm home I rarely leave as I travel enough when working haha! I offer overnight stays in my home specifically for: Elderly pups and pups of all ages with special needs (Under 40lbs) who would not do well in a boarding facility. Your pups would be the center of attention in the house while they were here. We do have cats in the house, so please let us know if your pup has any issues with smaller animals. If so, we can still accommodate them, we would just have them in our dog-only area! I have a 'dog room' at home with a couch for relaxing and reading or gaming/watching Disney+ on our large screen TV, an echo dot that will play calming classical music while I am out of the room, and a padded floor with lots of rugs around for the older pups. When we aren't hanging out in that room, our house has hardwood floors with many rugs to keep paws stable, and tons of dog beds(of all sizes) scattered around for comfort. For potty times, I have a spacious fenced-in yard with plenty of shade! Meal times are at your pet's schedule! I make sure to follow any feeding and medication schedules you provide. My husband works from home, so if I am delayed due to traffic from an errand or such, he can let the pups out to potty or give time-sensitive medications/feedings. Pups are crated or placed in a separate room for Meal times and during Potty rotations to ensure no one gets too rowdy and no one becomes aggressive over their food. Please feel free to reach out with any specific questions about our day-to-day! I am happy to answer any inquiries.

About: Lifelong dog and cat owner based out of Farmville. I currently have two six year old labs and two cats. All of my pets are highly socialized with other dogs. I have experience in sitting dogs ranging in size from miniature schnauzers to Great Pyrenees. My two labs are both male and littermates, so I also have lots of experience in keeping the peace! I have a large fenced in backyard with plenty of room to run and play. If you’d like any further information, please don’t hesitate to reach out! Dogs are out for an hour in the morning, an hour at lunch, and until dark after work (I will usually sit with them while they play or throw rope/ball). The cats make sure our household stays on a strict 7AM-7PM feeding schedule with little room for error before complaints are issued. As mentioned above, I have a large fenced in backyard where your dog will have plenty of space to move around. I have 2 6’x6’ kennels back there as well in case anyone needs a time out. I have crates of every size for guest dogs when I am not home and they stay in a separate area from my pets to further mitigate any issues that could come up. We have about 15 toys/ropes around the house/yard to choose from and never have any disputes. I am not responsible if your dog comes home to you fatter or more spoiled.

Whether your pet needs extra cuddles, room to run, or just a calm, safe place to stay, I’m here to give them the care they deserve.💘

“We are very picky about with whom we leave our lab Jack. Meeting Danielle in person was very reassuring because she is a combination of energy and friendliness. I suspect Jack had as much fun playing with Danielle's dogs as we did on our mini-getaway. We intend to use Danielle in the future as the need arises and we give her our highest recommendation. I don't always leave online reviews but my wife and I really like Danielle.”

About: I have had a variety of animals my whole life! I absolutely love being around animals and spending time with them. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, all the way from newborn to seniors! I am available on weekdays only. I do work a breakfast shift (5am-11am) Wednesday to Saturday. However, I am available the rest of the day! I will have plenty of time to tend to your animals and take care of their needs. I have a very large unfenced yard that would be great for leashed activities like walking and going potty. I also have a fenced area that’s perfect for some unleashed outdoor time. I would keep any pets inside most of the time to ensure safety while I am with them. I do have a crate that I could keep your pet in while I am at work (if your baby is crate trained). All animals are allowed to roam the house and sleep in the bed if that’s allowed at home!

About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind since I was 12. My parent’s friends typically just had me stop by 3-4 times per day! I work from 8:30-5pm. However, my breaks are flexible and my bosses are willing to work with me so that I can do what I need to do! I am unfortunately not allowed to host dogs in my home. My apartment complex is very strict about this and will fine me if I host dogs overnight.

“Makaylah has sat for us twice and I feel so lucky to have found her. I have a 14 year old pup that I haven't left since she was much younger, and I was nervous. I shouldn't have been. Makaylah made her feel right at home, sent me pics and updates daily, followed her feeding schedule, and made her comfortable. Sydney can't go on walks anymore but she loves to putter around outside and she got lots of time to do that. Makaylah was also able to take her on super short notice this last time, which I really appreciated so I could take a spur of the moment weekend trip. It's really nice to know I have someone Sydney feels so comfortable with so I don't feel guilty at all about leaving her. I highly recommend Makaylah and couldn't be more pleased with her quality of care.”

“Wonderful experience. Was able to help us out on incredibly short notice.”
