Doggy Day Care in Old Trap

“Bailie was great with my shy dog. He came back to me relaxed with his tail wagging.”

“⸻ Pedro had an amazing day with Yeny and Ray! He got plenty of playtime with his new furry friends, Charlie and Leo. When we got home, Pedro was happily tired and ready for bed. Yeny and Ray sent us photos and videos throughout the day, and communication was great. We’ll definitely book with them again!”

“Jeanette was awesome with Milo ! I needed a last minute sitter for him as I’m visiting from out of town and wanted to take my kids out for a bit, Jeanette replied back quicker than I had expected! She kept me updated with photos of my little guy. Whenever I’m back in town and need a sitter I’ll definitely be contacting her again :)”

About: Hey! I’m Kaitlynn, I have 7 years of experience with animals. I was on rover a few years ago for 5-6 years and took a break after I had kids. I have worked with a travel vet for 2 years (before kids) and dog grooming! My love for animals hasn’t changed, I’m recently new to Rover again because I love working with animals and would love to start to get out there again. I give updates often and will have plenty of photos to share with you! My dogs are super friendly to all animals as they lived on a farm before. I’m hoping to help families while providing for mine:) Pet care fits naturally into my daily life because I own my own business and work for myself, which gives me the flexibility to prioritize animals throughout the day. I can easily build my schedule around feeding, walks, playtime, and check-ins without rushing or being tied to a strict 9–5 job. Caring for pets blends perfectly with my active, hands-on lifestyle, and I genuinely enjoy having animals as part of my routine while I manage my business responsibilities. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family. I provide a calm, clean, and safe environment where they can relax and feel comfortable. I make sure they get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and any feeding or medication schedules are followed closely. I also have two friendly dogs of my own who are very social and do well with other animals, which can be great for pets that enjoy companionship. In a client’s home, I follow their routine exactly to help pets feel secure in their familiar environment. I respect their space, keep everything clean and consistent, and make sure pets receive the same level of care, love, and attention they would get from their owner.

About: I have always been around all kinds of animals, and I worked with Bully Paws Pit Bull Rescue for many years. At one point I had 5 Pit Bulls, and they were my daughter’s best friends. Now that I am dog free, I miss having a furry friend around. Currently, I have two cats. I work from home day except Wednesday. Due to my flexible schedule, I am able to cater to your pets needs to make sure they are getting the love they need. I have a fenced back yard and a great neighborhood to walk in. I work from home, so I am always at your pet's beck and call. At your home, I can work as needed and spend time with your pet in the comfort of their own home.

“Svetlana took great care of our 2 dogs on a last minute notice for the day. She is so kind, and good with the dogs. Her house is clean and tidy (1 of my dogs likes to chew everything), and she has a nice large fenced in yard for the dogs to run around in. I highly recommend her, and will definitely book with her again. Thank you so much!!”

“My first time using Rover - so pleased with Kathryn and her sweet family!”

“Cindy is great! She took wonderful care of Navi, sent picture updates throughout, and was great with communications. She was very nice to Navi and even prepared a bed and toys for her! I appreciate her flexibility with the pick up time and felt very comfortable leaving Navi with her. Highly recommend her and I’d definitely book her again!”

Fernando F.

“Christie was AWESOME! She sent videos of my Dallas frolicking happily in her spacious backyard which put my mind at ease that he was having a wonderful time in her care! She is very loving, and attentive dog lover and I’ll definitely be calling on her again in the near future!”

“Ligia is by far the best doggy sitter in the world! I had never left my fur baby with anybody else before but Ligia reassured me that he would have a great day and he sure did! Every time I leave Harley at her house, I get pictures of him playing with other dogs and constant updates on how he’s doing. Ligia has helped Harley be able to socialize with other dogs and the best part is that I know he has a fantastic time with her. He’s always super excited to go to her house and play with his best friend, Ducky. I am so happy and blessed that I found Ligia! I absolutely recommend her and her services. Harley and I couldn’t be happier!!”

“Phillip was amazing, I contacted him last minute because of an unexpected situation and he was able to provide care for my Gus! Thank you again 😊”

About: Hello hello! My name is Jocelyn, and I’m a 20-year-old dog lover that recently picked up petsitting in December! 😋🫶🏽 Until recently, I’d grown up with pets my entire life. Since my last childhood Pitbull, Roxy (one out of three total dogs) passed away in July, it’s been difficult adjusting to life without them to share it with me. My schedule feels hollow and incomplete after having spent the last four years with two senior dogs. These four years have given me experience waking up both late and early to tend to a pet’s many needs, and stay up as long as needed to ensure their safety and wellbeing. Living in a house of dog lovers, your pet(s) will be both well-cared for and showered with love all throughout their stay. 💕 Having our late girl’s passing so recent, we still have all the living necessities available for use if need be. This includes pet beds, food/water bowls, functional kennels, poop bags, and (unopened) toys. We adore our dogs, and are ready to cherish yours just as much before they return back into your loving arms. Petsitting will provide peace of mind for both me and my clients. Whether you’re away for a short or extended period, rest assured your pet(s) stay with us will be easygoing, well communicated, and overall an experience to remember! 😁 Though I’m actively job hunting, petsitting will likely be the only gig I’ll have for a while, so I’m available throughout every day of the week 9AM-6PM to pickup/dropoff pets (with room to improvise later/earlier hours), and the remainder of my time to care for them. 😊 Our family and neighborhood is strict about leashes, so despite our open deck and yard, while outside your pet will NEVER be without a leash or left unattended. Provided collar and leashes would be appreciated! We have a room designated for crates in case of emergencies, and will not hesitate to use them in the unlikely circumstance that we need them. Our lives were once surrounded by two pitbulls and a chihuahua that we showered with love daily. Expect that your pet(s) will be treated as if they were our own! ❤️

“Marah was wonderful. We only needed her to watch our dog for a few hours while we were passing through. She was friendly, and our dog had a good time.”

“Erin is very kind and we felt comfortable leaving our fur baby with her and her family. She would update us and provided pictures with videos of him. Our fur baby looked so happy and was kept engaged during his stay. Definitely, will be booking with Erin.”

About: I’ve grown up living with and taking care of pets all of my life. I’ve developed a special bond with all animals, but dogs especially! I’m very loving, caring, gentle, kind, patient, nurturing, and compassionate. You can definitely trust that your fur baby will be in good hands with me. They will always be monitored in a fun but also safe, warm, & welcoming environment! I treat all as my very own. Your dogs needs, wants, and desires will be met at the best of my ability with 110% effort. Whether they want to go out for a walk at the park, play fetch, or simply be showered with cuddles, I’m here for all of that! :) I’m currently just home so now I have lots of time and freedom to take care of your furbaby! My dog would also love a companion and the three of us would have a fantastic time together!! I live in a house with a fenced yard and a great amount of space. I live in a nice community with great walking areas/trails. I can also easily crate your dog if needed. I also have a fur baby of my own so they will be more than happy to keep your baby company.

“Cooper had the BEST day with Praveen and his wife and his two dogs. It was his first time away from Us as he is a puppy. He was spoiled, and taken well care of. Highly recommend this sitter!”

About: We LOVE dogs! My husband and I are experienced dog owners and caretakers, with experience spanning 15-20 years between the both of us. We will love your furbaby like they’re our own and they’ll leave our care happy and tired. We currently have two loves of our own named Butters (7 year old chocolate lab) and Poppy (1 year old foxhound mix) so we know how to handle dogs of all sizes. We have a large fenced in rear yard for playtime and a wonderful neighborhood to walk in. We are also centrally located in Fredericksburg so if your pup needs to go anywhere, we’ve got you covered! We do have small children so only dogs good with small kids can be accepted. We also do prefer a meet and greet with your pup before their stay with us.

About: Growing up surrounded by the wagging tails of dogs and the gentle purrs of cats, my love for animals has been a lifelong passion. With over six years of experience as a Veterinary Technician, I bring a wealth of knowledge and hands-on expertise to the care of your beloved pets. My background ensures that I am well-equipped to handle any situation with calm and confidence. In addition to my professional experience, I have been an active volunteer and foster for a local dog rescue organization for the past five years. During this time, I have fostered over 70 rescue dogs, providing them with the love, care, and stability they need to thrive and find their forever homes. My extensive experience with both dogs and cats, combined with my veterinary skills and dedication to rescue work, ensures that your pets will receive the highest level of care and attention. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, or medical needs, I am committed to making your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you are away. As someone who works from home, pet care is seamlessly integrated into my daily routine. My flexible schedule allows me to provide consistent and attentive care to each pet throughout the day. Here’s a glimpse of how pet care fits into my daily life: Morning Routine: Early Walks: I start the day with early morning walks or playtime in the yard, ensuring that pets get their first burst of energy out and start their day on a positive note. Feeding Time: After exercise, it’s breakfast time. I follow each pet’s specific dietary needs and ensure they have fresh water. Midday Routine: Interactive Play: Mid-morning, I take breaks from work to engage in interactive play sessions or training exercises, stimulating both their minds and bodies. Potty Breaks: Regular potty breaks are scheduled to keep pets comfortable and maintain a routine. Afternoon Routine: Exercise & Walks: Another round of exercise or a walk in the afternoon keeps pets active and happy. For those staying at my home, this might include a visit to a local park or a playdate with other friendly pets. Quiet Time: Pets also enjoy some quiet time while I focus on work, with cozy spaces available for napping and relaxation. Evening Routine: Dinner Time: As the workday winds down, it’s time for their evening meal. I maintain their feeding schedules and monitor their intake. Evening Walks & Play: We finish the day with another walk or play session, ensuring they are tired and content for the night. Nightly Routine: Before bed, I provide another potty break and some final cuddles or quiet time to help them settle in for a restful night. Weekend Routine: Extra Attention: Weekends often include extra activities like longer walks, visits to pet-friendly places, or more extended play sessions to make the most of the extra time. Working from home allows me to be present and responsive to the needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the care, attention, and love they deserve throughout the day. This routine provides a balanced blend of work and pet care, creating a harmonious and happy environment for everyone. Caring for Pets in My Home: I live in a Townhouse with a fully fenced in backyard. When pets stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a safe, clean, and comfortable environment with plenty of space for them to explore and play. Each pet gets individual attention tailored to their needs, including regular exercise, feeding schedules, and plenty of affection. I have designated areas for sleeping, eating, and playing to ensure their comfort and happiness. Additionally, I maintain a pet-friendly home with secure fencing and pet-proofing measures to ensure their safety.Caring for Pets in Your Home:When I care for pets in their own home, I strive to maintain their usual routines and provide a familiar environment to minimize stress. I follow the specific instructions provided by the pet owners regarding feeding, exercise, and any special care needs. Daily visits include playtime, walks, and social interaction to keep your pets happy and engaged. I ensure that your home remains clean and secure, and I am diligent about updating you on your pet's well-being. My goal is to provide consistent, reliable, and loving care to make your pets feel comfortable and content in their own space.

“We just moved to the area and looking for a new person that will take care of your fur baby is always a challenge. Kira’s first stay with Sarah, Chris and Aiden was outstanding. They sent us several pictures and were very accommodating with our messed up schedule. We came a bit late than expected to pick her up and they were so understanding. They are just a lovely family, with a very calming and beautiful energy. We will be using them again for sure! Highly recommended!”

About: I’ve been around dogs for years! My family, loved ones and neighbors all have counted on me for doggy duty throughout the years. I have done numerous amounts of dog sitting for all types of breeds so I figured I would bring my expertise to Rover. I recently got a silver lab puppy named Jax and he’s been the best dog ever. All of mine and Jax’s free time, love and cuddles will be at the center of attention for your beautiful pup. I currently work from home in IT so I have tons of availability and free time to be active with your pup. I have a lot of free time to go on walks, runs, and play fetch! I do live in an apartment complex but it’s very spacey and we also have a fenced in dog park that is a perfect play space. Overall my week is extremely flexible and I can almost always work around any schedule. I used to have a 2 year old golden retriever but he unfortunately passed away from cancer recently. I miss having him around because dogs truly become part of your family. I treated him like my child and I will do the same for your pup! I am constantly around my loved ones dogs almost every week and they get tons of cuddles, treats and exercise! I’m very active and love going on walks/jogs so you bet me and your pup will have the absolute best time together! My apartment has the best fenced in dog park that I know your dog will love!
