House Sitting Hop Yard Landing

About: I'm a dependable, compassionate animal lover who knows that every pet deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their family is away. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I don't take that responsibility lightly. Whether your pet loves long walks, playing fetch, getting belly rubs, or simply relaxing with someone nearby, I'll make sure they receive the care and attention they're used to. I'll follow your pet's routine closely, provide plenty of love and patience, and keep you updated with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind while you're away. My goal is to make your pet feel happy, cared for, and stress-free, while making your time away as worry-free as possible. I would be honored to care for your pets and treat them like they're part of my own family! I’m currently in school for my bachelors in psychology, I have a pretty flexible schedule within the time I’m not doing school work. I will take the best care of your furry friend in your home while you're away on vacation or work trips with love and reliability.

“Elizabeth did an awesome job caring for Stripe! She gave him lots of love and affection. She gave him his meds on time and a pup cup as a treat. Thank you, Elizabeth!”

“Kaitlynn did a wonderful job taking care of my fur baby. I got regular check ins, she asked before taking him anywhere, and kept his regular schedule. I would book her in the future.”

“Erica was fantastic with our two miniature wires hair dachshunds. She stayed at the home and kept our dogs company while we were away over the Thanksgiving week. She kept us updated through the week and took them for walks. We highly recommend her.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have experience caring for both dogs and cats with different personalities and needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, walks, playtime, litter box care, administering basic medications if needed, and making sure your pet feels safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. As a teacher, I’m responsible, dependable, and attentive to routines and details. I know how important consistency is, and I bring that same level of care to every pet I look after. Whether your pet loves to play, go for walks, or just relax and cuddle, I’ll make sure they get plenty of attention and care. I know leaving your pet with someone else takes trust, and I’ll treat them like they’re part of my own family. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing reliable, loving care and keeping you updated with photos and messages throughout their stay or visit. I’m currently on summer break, so I have a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting. I’m happy to work with your schedule and provide reliable, attentive care for your pet. During the school year, my availability is typically in the mornings, evenings, weekends, and school breaks. I’ll always communicate my schedule clearly and do my best to accommodate your pet’s needs. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and I will treat your pet with the same care and attention I would want for my own. I provide a calm, safe, and loving environment where pets can feel comfortable and cared for. I’m attentive to routines, follow any instructions you provide, and will keep you updated with photos and messages so you can feel confident while you’re away.

About: I've been caring for dogs in one form or another since I was a young child. I've experience with rambunctious puppies and incontinent senior dogs. I've also experience with house-training puppies and working with high-energy adult dogs still in training. I believe that consistency and love are integral to keeping dogs of all ages happy and healthy. My experiences with my own dog, a very spirited border collie mix, have been proof of concept. Dogs need stimulation and I am happy to play, go on long walks and trips to the dog park to make sure that your dog gets the attention and energy outlet they need! I have open availability during weekdays and weekend mornings. I can begin as early as 7 am and continue until 8 pm. Special accommodation can also be negotiated if needed. I prefer to care for pets in the client's home, as my own home is full of cats and a pair of rambunctious dogs. I will follow all instructions given by the client regarding needs in the home and will walk the surrounding neighborhood if possible. If the neighborhood is not suitable (heavy traffic, lack of sidewalks) and if permission is given I can take dogs to walking paths in Fredricksburg or dog parks to ensure they have sufficient enrichment.

“Hailey to the rescue! My husband and I were in a pinch and required in-home dog sitting last minute. Hailey was quick to help and clearly communicated any adjustments to the schedule required to accommodate her day to day schedule. Pups were happy and house was well kept. Would book again in a heartbeat ☺️.”

About: I love all animals and enjoys their company. I'd love to take care of your dog(s) and cats while you're away, so you don't have to worry. When I'm not traveling, I work from home full time, so animals will have plenty of attention and go outside pretty frequently. I have a large yard on rural property and there's a dirt road to get in a several walks. Your dog will have supervised and/or leashed access to the outdoors. There's a lot of room to run. I have had experience handling medications for animals for several years, as my cocker spaniel took medications for glaucoma and congestive heart failure. You can trust that your pup will be spoiled here, like one of my very own. :) I am currently home full time but job hunting so animals have care 24/7. Hoping to find remote work but if this changes I will update here. My animals are friendly with all dogs. I keep all dogs leashes while outdoors. We make sure all doors are closed and all food and poison items are not within reach

About: I’ve pet sitting since middle school and I’ve grown up rehabilitating dogs and cats with my mom so I know all the ins and outs! I just moved to the area so I’m currently working part time at a retail store. Feel free to send me a message and we can discuss further about my availability! I make sure that all pets get attention and love for at least 20-30 minutes and then we all go outside for a potty break and don’t forget the treats as well!

“Liza was great! Super flexible and great communication. My dogs got into a scuffle (no fault of Liza’s whatsoever!) and she handled it great, communicated with me immediately and kept me up to date. My farm and dogs are not the easiest to handle and I was very happy with how Liza managed them all and was incredibly respectful of my home”

About: "Looking for a sitter who truly speaks animal? I have spent my entire life caring for an incredible variety of pets, giving me the unique skills needed to handle almost any animal family. My experience includes giant dog breeds (English Mastiffs and Great Pyrenees), livestock (horses, chickens, and goat herds), and exotic reptiles. Today, I am a proud parent to a cat and two Holland Lop rabbits! Because I have lived alongside animals my whole life, I excel at reading their body language, vocal cues, and unique personalities. I am ready to provide a premium, loving, and safe environment for your babies!" I'm newly a father and am currently on paid family leave, and am available most days. My daily routine includes waking around 3am and getting the day started. I have several 2 hour blocks of time throughout my day that are not currently filled with any activities, perfect for caring for your pets! In My Home (Cat & Rabbit Friendly): Separate Zones: I maintain dedicated, safe zones for my resident cat and two Holland Lop rabbits to prevent stress. Exotic-Safe Space: My home environment is calm, secure, and adapted to handle specialized pet needs without disruption. Escorted Outdoor Time: Any outdoor access is strictly supervised within secure boundaries. In your home: Home Security: I strictly follow your home entry, locking, and alarm instructions to ensure property safety. Zero-Trace Care: I leave your home exactly as I found it, or better, cleaning up all pet waste immediately.

About: I have taken care of foster dogs for a while now and wanted to offer my ability's to others. I have my owner trained service dog and can keep up training with your dog or even work on learning new skills. I may not have the most experience with pet sitting for others animals but I have been fostering shelter dogs for years My job is extremely flexible so I can work when I want for the most part. This allows me to take care of all animals. The animals will never be alone for more than 4 hours at a time. I spend most of my home time, other than sleeping, with the animals playing with them, working on training, giving proper medicine and letting them run around in my large fenced in backyard. If I am at your house for a week or taking the dogs on walks would be the only time I'll be away from my own home besides work. I can then spend the time I would be home with your animals. I have a husband to watch my own animals I have 2 cats and a resident dog. They are friendly and can keep your pup and kitty company! If your dog is a bit reactive with other animals I do have a room dedicated to the dogs I foster and care for. As of current I am taking a break from fostering to care for animals on rover so there will be no dogs with unknown temperaments. If I do have any dog reactive dogs to care for I will put resident dog up in my bedroom while I take out and play with your pup, they will never be alone long

“April is seriously the sweetest. She helped us out with a last-minute work trip and still showed up with so much care even while going through a hard time herself. Our dogs were happy and well taken care of and that gave us so much peace of mind. We truly appreciate her and would 100% love working with her again. 💛”

About: I have always had a pet in the home, from fish to dogs! Pets are an amazing part of our families and deserve the special care and attention that our own human children have from us as parents. That’s why every four-legged visitor in my home receives the 5-star resort experience. Let me know what I can do for you and your furry friends today! I usually work from 9-5 on most weekdays approximately 5 minutes from home. That gives me the flexibility to check in on your pet throughout the day. For boarding, expect your pet to be snuggled, given food & treats (at your discretion), and receive quality walks. Drop-in visits are my preference, as well as walks. Nonetheless, please let me know what I can do to provide you with the best service possible. Beyond the normal pets, I love to ensure your pets receive the special care they need. From meds to treats, they will get the concierge experience.

“Gabriel was a great pet sitter for my little guy! On time, left my place clean and always communicated! He will take great care of any animal. I’ll definitely be booking him again!”
