Doggy Day Care in Thornburg

“Rebekah was fantastic with our shy little guy. He opened up right away with her and her family. She let us know of his progress throughout the day and kept track of all his activities. She is definitely going to be seeing a lot more of my Caiden and his big sister Georgia.”

“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 :)”

“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!!”

“Yeny and Ray were so accommodating for our pup, we needed someone to watch our dog and they were the only ppl that could last minute. We couldn’t have chosen anyone better to watch our baby. They were so caring , kind and truly made us feel at ease. We were sent updates and photos throughout our dogs stay, which we appreciated. I wish I lived in VA they would be an easy pick ! Thank you again !”

About: I've been caring for pets since I was a young child. I've learned how to identify and read body language of animals and have a unique way of bonding with and calming anxious pets of all sizes. I have a very loveable 2 year old pit bull that has been socialized her whole life with cats, dogs, and humans. She is a happy wigglebutt and is very easy to get along with. Your pet will have a big back yard to play in and and nice calming room to rest in during its stay. Rest assured while you are away from your furry family member. I work from home, so your pet will get plenty of exercise, love, and attention. For days that I may travel, I will ensure my calendar is updated to reflect non-availability. I have a room dedicated for pet boarding. There is a TV that will play the dog or cat channel depending on who my guest is. There is roughly an acre of fenced in yard in the back of my home and also a walking trail near the home. I will follow your instructions for care and/or medication application to the T.

“Jessica and her husband were amazing with my dog! She was also very accommodating since it was a last minute booking out of town. I can honestly say I felt as though my dog was being loved and cared for just as she does her own! She sent pics of the day and even potty reports. I highly recommend her!”

About: I enjoy being around animals, fur babies are the sweetest. I try my best to make sure they are comfortable around me and not push them to like me right away, I am so use to watching my own pets that now that my dogs have passed I have all this time available. My routine stays the same for me. Providing food water, exercise, walks are amazing for pets to help with their mood. Clear countertops to ensure dogs don’t have access to garage bags, even if I’m in a fence yard supervise pets during outdoor activities. Very mindful of potential hazards. Provide a comfortable environment for the pet.

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.

“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 have been taking care of dogs of every kind since I was 10 years old. Even have my own pets that I take care of, honestly is the best feeling in the world to take care of pets. Neighbor, Friends and Family relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. I’m currently working part-time, I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I’m available for boarding on weekends & weekdays after the earliest 1pm & latest 2pm! Since at the moment my living space will not be available to take in pets. I will be more than welcome to visit & take care of pets at clients home.

About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 5 years old, when I got my very first dachshunds—Peanut and Sweetie. By the time I was 9, I had adopted a shelter dachshund and raised two more dachshund puppies, bringing my total to five dogs at once! I personally trained all of them, which gave me a strong foundation in understanding dog behavior, especially with independent or energetic breeds like dachshunds. Throughout middle school and my teen years, I helped neighbors by dog sitting, walking, and doing drop-in visits just for playtime. One of the dogs I cared for regularly was a sweet senior named Duke, who I’d take outside and keep company while his owner was away. I learned early on how to adapt my care for both high-energy pups and older dogs who need a gentler approach. In addition to dogs, I have years of experience caring for cats—both my family’s and now my own sweet cat, Tom. I understand feline behavior, how to earn their trust, and how to make sure they feel safe, calm, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s puppies, seniors, small breeds, or shy kitties, I bring patience, love, and reliable care to every visit. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own family. Pet care fits naturally into my daily life. I genuinely love spending time with animals, and I build my schedule to be available when pets need me most—whether it’s morning walks, midday check-ins, or evening playtime. I’m flexible, dependable, and happy to accommodate different routines, including weekend or last-minute needs. Caring for pets doesn’t feel like a chore to me—it’s something I truly enjoy. I prioritize each pet’s safety and comfort above all else. In your home, I follow your routines closely to ensure your pet feels secure and stress-free. I always keep a close eye on surroundings during walks, avoiding unsafe areas or triggers. I’m familiar with handling pets with anxiety, special diets, or medication needs, and I treat every space with respect—leaving it clean and exactly how I found it. Whether I’m in your home or caring for your pet during a walk, you can count on me to show up with calm energy, attentiveness, and love.

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 and a bearded dragon. 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.

“10 out of 5 stars. Doreen is wonderful and took great care of my pup as if he were family. I will definitely book again with her!”

About: I have always had a dog in the family to care for, however recently this summer I cared for many pets over week long periods. I wake up to feed and walk my dog every morning so I am already in the groove of petting sitting from the moment I wake up. I am always cautious and safe when caring for my clients. At my house, I have a fenced in back yard as well as two friendly dogs that love to play.

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.

“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!”

“Ashley and her bf were amazing! I am so glad I booked with them to take care of Buko. She sent picture updates often and accommodated our late pick up times bc of my sisters wedding! If I ever needed a sitter in VA again I would definitely book with her again. Highly recommend!”

“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!”
