I had surgery so I found Chantel to watch my two dogs for two weeks. Well, what turned into two weeks turned into four weeks total and Chantel was very gracious to keep my two dogs for another two weeks, which was quite unexpected. Chantel did a very good job in meeting their needs and keeping me informed of how they were doing. I would highly recommend Chantel in the future.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

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: 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.

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!

We can’t say enough great things about Brittney. Our cats are very shy and don’t typically come out when someone comes by the house, but when Brittney came, they were happy to come out and see her. Brittney was extremely communicative prior to and during the visit, and she provided extra notes about the cats and the house. If we could give more than five stars, we would, we highly, highly recommend working with Brittney!

About: With a lifetime of experience around animals - growing up on a farm and working in a vet's office - I bring both a wealth of knowledge and gentle touch to every pet I meet. I'm especially experienced with senior pet care, have a knack for puppy training, and even have a special place in my heart for unique breeds - have always had a Sphynx cat at home. Above all, I'm reliable, warm, and absolutely dedicated to making sure your furry (or furless!) friends feel safe and loved in their own home. Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine because I structure my schedule around providing dedicated, reliable time for each pet I look after. While I'm currently focusing on building my pet care services, I plan my availability thoughtfully to make sure every client gets the attention they need. In every client's home, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and familiar environment for their pets. I take the time to understand each pet's routine and preferences, ensuring they feel secure and at ease while in my care. My approach is always about building trust - both with the pets and their owners - so that everyone feels confident and comfortable throughout the entire pet care experience.

About: I have always had a dog since I was a baby. I love all animals! Friends and family have always asked me to dog sit while away on vacation. I currently work full time from home so I can watch them during the week day in my home and let out for potty breaks often! I can go to your home on weekends anytime and during the week after 4 pm. I have 2 very friendly dogs who love fur friends! And we have one girl who only loves her fur siblings but she keeps to herself and I will keep her separated from your animal. I have 42 acres to take your dog on long walks and play in our field. I will leash walk your dog at my house. We do let our dogs sleep in our bed so if your fur baby is used to that they are more then welcomed to sleep in our bed. If not we have an extra crate for night time.

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: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. I helped my childhood dog with her liter and one of her puppies was my best friend until he crossed the rainbow bridge a year ago. I currently have a sweet loving 9 year old black lab and a fun 3 year old labradoodle. I’m a stay at home mom who homeschools as well and play outside a lot with my children and my dogs. Anything after 6 pm I won’t be able to do considering I will be doing bedtime. I have a fully fenced in lot that has 2 dog houses and grass that is also shaded. I also have a crate and normally I am home and just let my dogs play as much as they want.

About: Animals have always been a central part of my life. As a pet owner myself, I understand that our pets are family members, not just animals. My personal dogs receive the same love, attention, and care that I would want for any pet entrusted to me. In addition to caring for my own pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience with dogs and cats, including owning and operating a nonprofit animal rescue for five years. Through my rescue work, I cared for hundreds of dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including puppies, seniors, special-needs pets, and dogs recovering from illness or surgery. I am experienced with administering medications, monitoring health concerns, and recognizing when a pet may need extra attention or veterinary care. I know that every pet has a unique personality and routine, and I strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

About: I've taken care of pets since I was 13. Neighbors, friend and family have relied on me to feed, walk and care for their pets. I’ve taken care of all kinds of animals (chickens, goats, cows, dogs, cats, guinea pigs, etc...). We are a homeschooling family and have time throughout the day to care for your pet in an intentional and respectful way. I can feed them, take them out for frequent potty breaks and go for walks with your pet. I am able to give a lot of care and attention to your pet. We have 3 outdoor dogs in a kennel and 1 indoor cavapoo. I can crate your dog if needed. I am willing to keep your pet indoors. I will treat your pet like one of our own. We live on a farm and have everything necessary to care for your pet in a healthy manner.

About: I’ve had pets of all sizes, shapes, and needs. I’d love to take your dog for a walk, feed your bearded dragon, or snuggle with your cat. Working from home allows me the flexibility to give special attention or break for a walk any time of day! Your pet will love laying at my feet, exploring my fenced in back yard, or getting some exercise on a walk around town. I have a fenced in yard and an old, friendly dog and 3 cautious cats to keep your pet company. Your pet will have run of the house like they’re at home. I am happy to crate your pet if that is your preference.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with puppy training—including potty training, crate training, and basic commands—as well as senior pet care, which includes administering medications, supporting mobility issues, and providing extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. I’m also highly dependable, communicative, and focused on safety at all times. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home! Working from home helps me ensure your pets routines are met. I am able to take them on frequent potty breaks or do potty training. I can be there for pets that need more attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m watching them in my home or in the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and stress-free. In my home, I pet-proof all areas the animals will access, remove any potential hazards, and create a calm, supervised space for play, rest, and feeding. I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable, and I never leave them unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, and any household rules. I keep pets safe by staying alert, keeping doors securely closed, and using proper leashes or harnesses during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep clients reassured and informed. Above all, I build trust by treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.

About: What sets me apart from all sitters is my deep depth for all animals. As a child, I have always developed a love for animals. My love and compassion for animals spilled over into the education field working with students with special needs. Presently, I have four rescue cats, two classroom guinea pigs, and four dogs, one of which is a rescue. I volunteer with my country's animal shelter, and I have fostered and saved many animals. My love for critters is endless. I am a teacher, so teachers do not work in the summer. However, I do work teaching summer school and a camp in June. I can work evenings and remain overnight. I have the entire month of July off. My children are grown, so my schedule is flexible. I can provide references. I live in a secluded area, so when I am home, they have free range. My dogs are leash trained. During the day when I am home, they remain in a crate. I live six minutes from work, so they arent in their crates all day. My oldest daughter lives with me, so when I am away, they are taken care of.

I make sure my home is a very welcome environment for animals of all kinds. Like my husband likes to say, I want a petting zoo in life. I currently work part-time in a pawn shop and full time mom to an adorable little toddler. We love being able to be around and care for animals as much as we can. I go on holidays maybe once or twice a year so I’m always around willing to help train or even just be a companion to your furry friend while you’re away I have an open yard with plenty of space to run around. I also have crates within the house just in case they need to be crated too. I have 3 adult dogs that roam free and are very friendly, as well as 3 puppies, and a 2 cats inside my house as well too. But it’s very rare my cats will come out during the day if I’m housing a dog inside.

Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playtime, cuddles on the couch, or simply having a calm companion nearby, I will care for them as if they were my own. I currently have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide attentive care and accommodate a variety of pet care needs. Because I spend a significant amount of time at home, your pet will receive plenty of attention, companionship, exercise, and potty breaks throughout the day. I understand the importance of maintaining routines and will work with you to ensure your pet’s schedule, feeding times, medications, and preferences are followed closely. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or prefers a quieter environment, I can provide the level of care and attention they need. Safety is always my top priority. My experience running an animal rescue taught me how to properly introduce dogs, recognize signs of stress, manage different personalities, and provide a safe environment for pets with varying needs. I have a securely fenced yard and closely supervise outdoor time. I can also accommodate medications, special feeding instructions, crate training, and senior pet care.

Wonderful people, with a great setup for the dogs! Our dog had a blast and came home super happy. Christopher and Gina are great with communication too. We will definitely try to plan with them again in the future.

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 have a lifelong passion for caring for cats and dogs. I've had cats all my life and currently have a 15-year-old dog and 2 indoor/outdoor cats. I've also volunteered in dog boarding at a local business, where I was responsible for taking all the dogs out to potty at night. Your pets will be in loving and experienced hands! I am currently a stay at home Mom. So your pets will have cuddles and plenty of play time throughout the day! I typically start my morning at 6:30. So early morning risers are no problem for me! I live in a 2 story house and have plenty of space for your fur baby. I can make any accommodations to make your baby comfortable in your home or mine. Whether it be crating or separating animals I will make sure they are happy and safe!

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.

About: I have extensive experience caring for a wide range of pets, including dogs of all breeds, ages, and temperaments. What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm, patient approach and strong understanding of animal behavior. I have hands-on experience with puppy training—including potty training, crate training, and basic commands—as well as senior pet care, which includes administering medications, supporting mobility issues, and providing extra comfort and attention. I treat every pet like they’re my own, taking time to learn their routines, preferences, and personalities. I’m also highly dependable, communicative, and focused on safety at all times. Whether your pet needs playtime, structure, or just some extra love, I tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I work from home! Working from home helps me ensure your pets routines are met. I am able to take them on frequent potty breaks or do potty training. I can be there for pets that need more attention. Safety and trust are always my top priorities when caring for pets. Whether I’m watching them in my home or in the client’s home, I make sure the environment is secure, clean, and stress-free. In my home, I pet-proof all areas the animals will access, remove any potential hazards, and create a calm, supervised space for play, rest, and feeding. I maintain a consistent routine to help pets feel safe and comfortable, and I never leave them unattended for long periods. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely—feeding schedules, medication routines, walk times, and any household rules. I keep pets safe by staying alert, keeping doors securely closed, and using proper leashes or harnesses during walks. I also provide regular updates and photos to keep clients reassured and informed. Above all, I build trust by treating every pet with patience, kindness, and the same care I would want for my own.
