About: I have always had a dog for as long as I can remember. I grew up with dogs and I love them. We currently have two dogs. I have a male Golden doodle named Bo and a female Teddy Bear named Annie. I like to walk the dogs for two 30 minute walks a day. I’m a stay at home, homeschooling mom. I have a 6 year old, 9 year old, 12 year old and 15 year old at home. Everyone loves dogs. We have a routine with the dogs and they are part of the family. I don’t have a fenced in yard but I am a firm believer that dogs need to be walked. I walk my dogs for 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the afternoon on a walking path behind my house. I keep jingle bells on my door and my dogs ring them to go outside to potty. We have a finished basement if a dog needs to be kept from another dog. I have options to separate them if necessary.

About: My own dog, Finneas, has been staying with a friend since I shipped for the Navy last year. I'm currently in Virginia awaiting my next set of full-time orders and am missing canine companionship. I have experience with socializing feral kittens, teaching violent dogs their manners, and easing pups into obedience training. I love hiking so I'm absolutely willing to take your pup on more difficult terrain if they have vigorous energy needs. My schedule is very flexible. I don't mind being up early or doing overnight duty if your schedule needs it! Occasionally I'll have military obligations but they should be reflected on my calendar. I cannot host your pups here as I live with a senior Chihuahua. However, in your home I promise to treat your space with dignity and respect as if it were mine own and to triple-check any special instructions you may leave!

“I had to be in Fredericksburg for 2 meetings so my schedule was not firm. Angel was very accommodating and so pleasant. My little Chihuahua, Abby, was very happy with her. Angel took great care with Abby. Angel is very knowledgeable about animals. I would definitely use her again.”


“I cannot recommend Connie enough! After looking at doggie daycares in the Fredericksburg area and not finding one to meet my standards, I decided to take the plunge and give a Rover sitter a try. She makes pickup and drop off a breeze. My normally anxious dog immediately warmed up to her and walked right in with her (which is quite the feat on its own). She sends so many pictures it puts you at ease that your fur baby is being well taken care of and having fun. My dog immediately came home and slept and playing so hard with the other pups at Connie’s house!”


“Melissa was GREAT with Max! We booked her with little notice and she was very accommodating. She sent pictures of Max playing with her 2 dogs and he appeared to be having a great time. He was so wore out when he got home he had to nap before having his dinner. I would highly recommend her to other pup parents, and I will definitely be using her again. Thank you Melissa!”


“Iris provided amazing service for our pup. She communicated frequently and kept us updated with lots of photos. She went above and beyond to make sure Bowie was well taken care of. I highly recommend her and will be using her in the future for sure!”


“Christie brought a sense of calmness towards our Joji as soon as we arrived. She is very sweet, friendly, and flexible - it was a plus that she was able to work with our hours, we’ll definitely book her again :)”


About: I have been taking care of pets for well over a decade, with many requiring a variety of specialized care! I am very comfortable and adept providing care for puppies, senior animals, and pets requiring medical assistance or medication administered. I have some experience with training a puppy, as well! I’m currently working from home, so I have a very flexible work schedule and am able to be around any pets in my care. I have a pretty open schedule with work currently, so I am able to bend my schedule around to be accommodating to your pets needs! I have two fenced in dog parks that are a very short walk away, as well as a walking trail that I can take your pet on multiple times a day. I have a very friendly dog and two cats at home, but I am able to separate the cats easily and have a spare dog crate if that is needed for either pup! I cater the experience of pet care to the individual pet and try to adapt to what your pets schedule/needs are!

It will also give me the chance to spend time with all these sweet animals instead of trying to own a million of them myself 😂 A bonus of booking with me is your pet will get lots of one on one attention as this is not like your average corporate kennel. We provide a cozy environment within our home.

Our schedule is same for our dogs, potty breaks, walks when weather permits, and playtime outside as well. All dogs always enjoy our dogs, as they are friendly and just need to meet outside prior to coming inside. When we step away, we have home security throughout the home, dogs are safe with us. We have AC/Heater for our home, dogs are safe through any weather.

“Taylor is the person you want to watch your pets. Whenever I am out of town, I have her pet sit my cats. She goes above and beyond when she takes care of them. She feeds them, always gives them extra water, cleans their litter box, and plays with them and gives them extra attention, which I know they appreciate since we aren’t there with them. She’ll spend a good chunk of time with them to make sure they are happy! She always sends me updates too, which makes me feel better when I am away from them. I have also witnessed how she cares for her own animals. They are her pride and joy and she prioritizes them over anything else! She takes her dog on extra long walks for exercise, always gives her so much love and attention, and plays with her religiously. Her pets seriously have the best life with her! I never ever have to question what kind of care she’s giving to my pets, her pets, or even anyone else’s pet. She loves animals and will do anything to make sure they are loved and cared for, always going above and beyond what is asked of her. She is the absolute best and extremely reliable!”
