Doggy Day Care in Motleys Mill

“Good people. Rory enjoyed his stay! 🐶”

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 7 year old black lab and a fun almost 2 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: I understand how important it is to keep your pup happy, safe, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding and walking schedule, playing fetch, or just giving them some extra cuddles, I’m all in for making sure they feel loved and cared for. I’m patient with all kinds of personalities—from the energetic zoomers to the chill couch potatoes—and I’m quick to pick up on their unique needs. Plus, I’ll keep you updated with photos or messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your furry friend is in good hands! Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine—it’s like a built-in rhythm. Mornings usually start with feeding them and a quick check-in to see how they’re doing. If I’ve got a dog, a walk’s non-negotiable; it’s good for both of us. Throughout the day, it’s little things—refilling water, a bit of playtime, or just keeping an eye out for anything off. Weekly, I carve out time for grooming, like brushing or a bath if they need it, and I’ll check supplies—food, treats, meds—to make sure I’m not running low. It’s less about ‘fitting it in’ and more about it being a priority that keeps me grounded. For clients’ dogs, I stick to their playbook. They say ‘feed at 8, one scoop,’ I’m on it. Walks are by their clock—long ones, short loops, whatever the dog needs. I’ll toss a ball or just hang out if that’s their vibe. I watch for quirks—doesn’t eat without a pat, hates rain, that stuff—and adjust. Messes don’t linger I swipe paws if it’s wet out. They get a dog that’s fed, exercised, and happy, and a house still intact.

“So thankful for Latraykelle and her family. Took my request at the last minute and took great care of Ace. Will definitely book again when in the area.”

“Kristen has been great with me and my 2 pups. Very accommodating. My pups are nice worn out from their day playing with other dogs. I would recommend. Thank you.”

About: I grew up on a working farm, so I've cared for all kinds of animals throughout my life. My family and I bred, raised, and sold labrador puppies for many years. Neighbors and friends have also relied on me to feed, walk, and house sit their pets. I am a stay at home mom, so my schedule is flexible allowing me to cater to your timeline. I prefer a week in advance notice, but if you're in need of last-minute care please reach out, I'd love to try and help. I live in a very rural area, perfect for walks and outdoor play with your pet! I have a fenced yard, pet-friendly indoor space, and crates for your fur baby if needed. *Please note* I do have a toddler, so if your pet is not child-friendly, please notify me in advance.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs most of my entire life, i volunteered at a rescue center for Pit Bulls at 16. I’m very much used to all types of pups! Im currently a stay at home wife with all the time in the world. I am excited to meet my new fur friend! See you soon! My cats are indoor animals, I spend 90% of my time with them, if a clients pet is an indoor pet, you will have no worry with me! I always do a count when my own front door opens!

About: I've taken care of and owned dogs since a small child. I love canines and would LOVE to care for your furry friends this year. I'm available every day of the week anytime during the day to care at my home kennel or come to your home and assist with your dogs. I have a completed basement just to house your canines and a small fenced in yard. Your dog will receive excellent care and plenty of time will be spent with your dog.

“She did a good job with my boy. I was worried I may have to come get him as he has never stayed with anyone before but she said he was a good boy. She took pics of his day and kept track of his potty breaks and food/water breaks. That’s much more than I was expecting. Thanks so much for watching Mike! He seemed to enjoy his stay!”

“Shakira, was great! She took great care of my two dogs and even took some amazing pictures of them! I will definitely be using her again.”

About: I have always had a great love for animals. Since I was a child with my first rabbit, I have helped care for family, friends and neighbors pets. Through the years I have had several dogs and cats. I currently own a farm with donkeys, cows, pigs and chickens. Here at the daycare, I have my own dogs, guiena pigs, hedgehogs, chinchilla and a turtle. I left the world of people. After caring for animals as a passion, I decided that I wanted to make a career out of it. I left the world of customer service so that I could focus on spending all of my time doing daycare and Boarding. My facility is open Monday thru Friday from 7am to 6pm. During those hours we operate daycare, intake and release for boarding and grooming. After hours we are here for feeding, walking, playing. I own and operate a boarding and daycare center for pets. I can care for and board any size animal from a goldfish to a horse. I live on site so your pets are looked after 24 hours a day. We have common areas where pets can interact if you wish, as well as private kennels. All pets are walked atleast 5 times per day in our fenced in back yard on or off leash. They have plenty of outdoor playtime when the weather permits. All areas of the building, including kennels are climate controlled. We also provide grooming services if you are intrested in having your et groomed during their stay. We provide food but you may also bring your own as well. We will feed on your schedule.

About: I have had cats dogs and livestock my whole life . I am now retired with 1 covid foster fail named Luna. We started fostering after all our animals passed of old age and long story short adopted her. Best dog EVER! We love to spoil dogs with lots of play, walks on the Riverwalk and always try to pick pet friendly places to visit including restaurants. We also have a pool if yours like water! Let me give your pup a doggy vacay while you enjoy yours. I am currently enjoying retirement and very flexible with my schedule. We are home during the day and a couple times a week we do dinners or evenings out I have a fenced in yard and a pool in the birdcage. We have a great neighborhood for walking as well as our neighborhood preserve with walking paths.

About:

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: I am an animal lover! Weekends are negotiable. I will travel to you! Home all day! So pets will have all my attention! I'm a stay at home mom but need the extra income. So a pretty flexible schedule. I am very patient and kind to all living things. Your babies I will treat as my own while they are in my care. Any questions for me, feel free to just shoot me a message I am available almost any time. Thanks for your time! Open availability for now caring for all pets. I just moved here and must rebuild my client base. So become one of my regulars today! I care for them as instructed to, anything changes in the routine I inform the client immediately. I do this because I love animals treat your babies as my own.

About: I work from home and am an animal caregiver. My youngest is 18 (autistic) and doesn't interact with pets much, outside of his cat Figaro. He always has better things to do like gaming (LOL). So I won’t have a problem with pets that don’t like children. My husband breeds Cocker Spaniels. We have 2 cocker spaniels in the house along with my Dalmatian. Plus, 2 cats in the house. We always have puppy pads available for pets that are puppy pad trained. We also have a variety of sized crates that will fit your animal if they are crate trained and you wish for it to be used. I don’t mind following strict schedules or rules. I believe every pet owner has their own rules and how they want their pet to be trained. I don’t mind giving medications or shots your pet might need. I’m really flexible if you have any questions I’d be happy to answer them. I look forward to meeting you! I usually only board on days that my husband works for the time being. It's just easier that way but if you need more days I'm sure we can work something out I work from home Mon thru Fri 9:30 to 5:30 so during my work hours my pets go out to the bathroom 3 times during my breaks. Because most of my work is on phone calls for nonprofits (PBS & NPR), my donors cannot know I work from home. My dog's know to be quiet during my work hours so if your dog is a big barker it wouldn't work out.

“Dropped my pup off just for the afternoon, they were so sweet and accommodating at the last minute! I could tell they took good care of my dog and seemed to really love animals.”

About: My names Will and I'm proud to offer our 5 acre homestead for dog boarding. We have a quiet country setting between Gretna and Pennhook just off Route 40 located in Chatham Va. Your dog is welcome to come explore the entire property and take in the sights and sounds. We do have different poultry on the homestead and this area will not be part of the experience for safety and health of both our live stock and your pets. We have our own dogs here that are use to being around and playing with new dogs. Our house is completely dog friendly including the couch and bed. If your interested in having grooming services done for your dog before they are picked up. Please let me know during booking and these are available for fee through the rover platform. Can be as simple as a nail trim and grind, a full bath or even full hair cut before you return to take them home. I'm home Sunday and Monday full time. Tuesday through Saturday I'm at work from 9 to 5. I provide a walk before breakfast to stretch the legs and go potty. We come back in and have breakfast then go back outside for another walk/play session. After work it's a potty break and free time outside. Followed by dinner and play/cuddle time with potty breaks through out the evening until bedtime. I do require that visiting dogs come with their crate in the event that they are not suited to be left free roaming the house during the day or evening.
