Pet Sitting Spotsylvania

About: My family and I have fostered cats and dogs and provided hospice care for a dog with cancer (1 year) until she passed. I understand all breeds and their unique energy needs and activity levels. Medical care and aging limitations would be understood and can be tended to with your pet care needs. I work full time M, T, Th, F, Sa 8am until the deliveries are complete (can range from 2pm to 6pm). When I am not home, there are other family members present (spouse works, dad is retired). In the afternoon and evenings, my children will be attentive to any animals kept at my home. I enjoy connecting with all animals. Our weekends are more hectic with soccer season in full swing. Some weekends we may be elsewhere in Virginia with limited care depending on the weekend, April through June. We have a small fenced in yard with the ability to take your pet out for long, short, or frequent walks. My kids would provide any extra loving and attention while your pet is in my care. I kept a friend's cat for a week. When that week was up, her cat didn't want to leave. Whenever I visit them, the cat finds me to snuggle while I am around. Animals can sense the love and kindness within our family.

“Bethany is amazing with our dog. She takes such good care of him. She sends us detailed Rover cards every day and lots of photos. Highly recommend.”

“Jessica was the best! We needed her last minute and she was so great with both of our pups and was super careful with our one pup who needs a little bit of help getting up and down the steps. Would book 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 experience caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities. As a Doberman owner, I’m very comfortable handling high-energy and hyperactive pets, and I understand the importance of exercise, attention, and consistent care. I’m patient, reliable, and focused on making sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved while you’re away. Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine, and I’m available at all times — day or night — to provide attentive and reliable care. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m committed to making sure every pet feels comfortable, safe, and cared for while their owners are away. I care for pets by keeping them safe, comfortable, and on their normal routine in the client’s home. I follow feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions closely. I give plenty of attention and supervision, and I’m attentive to each pet’s needs to make sure they feel relaxed and cared for while their owners are away.

“It is always a little stressful to have a new pet sitter, but Katelyn connected with my two guys, Kramer and Jerry, both very social cats. She stayed and played with them and gave them lots of love. I especially loved all of the pictures she provided. Definitely made this cat mom feel at ease. I recommend Katelyn to anyone looking for someone to take care of their babies.”

About: I am experienced in caring for pets at every stage of life, from energetic 8-week-old puppies and kittens to gentle seniors who need extra patience. Whether your young pet requires consistent training, or your older dog or cat needs precise medication administration like oral pills, I adapt my care to fit their exact needs. I am fully available for holiday bookings to give you total peace of mind during your travels, and I love sending daily photo updates so you can see how much fun your fur baby is having. Every animal receives the specialized attention, safety, and affection they deserve to feel completely at home. As a retiree, I have the luxury of time and flexibility to dedicate completely to your pets. I am available throughout the day, meaning your furry family members will never feel lonely and will receive constant supervision, companionship, and affection. Whether they need midday strolls, frequent potty breaks, or just someone to lounge next to them on the couch, my open schedule allows me to fully focus on making your pets feel safe, pampered, and loved. I understand how difficult it can be to leave your furry family members behind, which is why I treat every guest with the same deep affection, kindness, and respect I would show my own. While you are away, your pets will not just be watched; they will be genuinely loved, comforted, and welcomed into a warm environment where their happiness and safety are my absolute top priorities.

“We always love having Autumn. We have had her for a year now and we would hate to have to try someone new if ever she’s not available. Juno loves her!”

“Sonja is terrific! My kitties loved her from the moment she came in. When I got home, my kitties were calm, had full bellies, potties were clean, all was in order. I couldn't be happier with the care Sonja provided, I 100% recommend her.”

Lanie H.

“She’s amazing as always!”

About: I’ve taken care of dog for the last three years. I’m very trust worthy and compassionate when it comes to dogs, friends and family trust me with there pets I’m currently working during the week, but I’m available every weekend and also every Friday after 4:00 pm so I’ll have plenty of time to play with animals on weekends. I have a wide opened smoke free apartment so the pets could run freely and be comfortable. There is plenty of out door space also with a nature trail to walk.

About: I have many years of pet sitting, up to several pets at a time, including owning many of my own since I was a child. I am patient when meeting new pets, for I understand it may take time to warm up to new people (and other pets!) I’m friendly, and talk to most animals just like they’re humans (lol). I enjoy spending time playing around, going for runs, as well as providing companionship when around pets. We love snuggling in bed over here! I’m not easily intimidated by a shy pet, and will treat them with the same respect and patience as their owners. I have high expectations for my own, so I believe it is only normal and natural to give the same in return for others’ pets so their families are comfortable with who they leave their furry friends with when away. My boy is the friendliest dog ever! He absolutely loves meeting other dogs (and the owners to receive even more affection 🤣). He’s got a lot of energy, which can overwhelm others the first day (he just wants to play!) He is very gentle with small dogs. When meeting others’ on the first day, If they are uncomfortable with his energy level and show they need time to warm up, he immediately backs off and resorts to my side until they are ready. He is very submissive in this sense which is great for no escalation and providing other dogs with the time they need to adjust to a new setting/new friends. I work a full time day job Monday-Friday 8-4, so please be sure prior to requesting services, your pets are able to accept this schedule. I am unfortunately unable to stop in midday as my lunch break does not allow for me to make it very far under 30 minutes. My pets along with the others’ I have boarded have had no issues with a routine working schedule, but every pet has different needs. ❤️ I care for others’ pets like they are my own! It is my duty as a trusted sitter to care for others’ pets in a way they need. I predominantly care for pets in others homes as I have several pets of my own. I do not have any issue with camera systems being in shared spaces to assure families feel safe having someone in their home with their pets.

“Heather was incredible. We made a last minute booking on a holiday weekend and she was so accommodating! On top of that, we have a very large dog and a very young, hyper dog and she had no issues handling both of them and e. She was on time and very communicative constantly throughout the weekend. We will definitely be rebooking with her when we need our babies cared for again!”

About: Hi! I’m home for the summer and excited to spend time doing something I love, caring for animals. I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life, and I recently lost my own, which reminded me just how much animals mean to me. While I don’t have time for a full-time pet right now, I still stay involved by volunteering every week at a local animal shelter and helping care for the cat I live with at school. I also worked as a vet assistant for a year, so I’m experienced with pets of all ages and temperaments. Whether it’s dogs, cats, or anything in between, I’ll treat your pet with the same love and care I gave my own. I’m currently taking an online summer course with a very flexible schedule, so I’m available throughout the summer for pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-in visits. Since I’m not working right now, I have plenty of time to give your pet the attention and care they deserve. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or overnight stays, I’m happy to help however I can! In your home, I follow your pet’s routine closely, feeding, walks, playtime, and any special instructions, so they stay comfortable and happy while you’re away. I make sure they get plenty of attention and care!

“Michelle was amazing with our dog and two cats! She gave great updates and pictures. Her communication was fantastic. She gave lots of extra love to our animals, especially our anxious dog. We will definitely reach out to her for future pet needs!”

About: Mon. - Fri. Availability: - Drop Ins.: EVENINGS ONLY - Boarding: Pick Up/Drop Off: 5:30p-9p Weekend Availability: - Drop Ins: Any - Boarding: Any I've dog sat for family members, puppies/dogs ranging from 4 lbs - 100 lbs. All have come in a bit skeptical and left feeling at home. I strive to provide a loving, warm environment for all pups that step paw in my door. Each dog will receive equal treatment and equal love. To be upfront, I am not trained or possess any special skills, I'm just a human who loves dogs and has the patience to work with and help dogs feel comfortable. I’m mostly free on the weekends; weekdays I’m free after 5pm! During my weekend free time, dogs will be out majority of the day aside from naptime between 12pm-2pm and bedtime 10pm - 7am. Dogs will have plenty of hours of play time and the weekends are typically days I use to walk my own dog or go to the local dog park. I have a fenced yard and 2 friendly energetic dogs to keep your dog company. Crates/cages, leashs, and collars are required for boarding. You are more than welcome to provide your own bed to ensure that your dog is comfortable. You can bring your own toys as well; however, toys will be provided, along side dog treats and dental chews (with your approval).
