“Having Lorena keep our dogs was a great experience for us and more importantly, our dogs. They were treated as part of their family and made friends with them and the other dogs. Their home lay-out is so nice for the dogs to have private quiet time when wanted and mingle as well. Can't say enough good things about our experience.”
“Connie was fantastic with my four dogs. It was my first time using Rover and was very nervous about it. I have never left my dogs with a sitter. Connie and her family kept me posted everyday and with pictures. I have since moved and wish she was in my new State. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Larissa was a wonderful sitter! She kept us informed with texts, pics, and videos. Our dog had a great time with her. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner.”
“Kathryn watched our dog over the weekend. She is extremely communicative, accommodating, and my dog came home happy and exhausted! We will definitely use her again in the future!”
“Amber was amazing! I had a last minute travel and she was so accommodating! From sending pics and videos of my puppy to being very responsive to any questions or concerns I had. This was my first experience using Rover but I’m so glad I found Amber. She is definitely my go to now for my puppy ?”
“So glad I found Charlotte! I was in need of a very last minute sitter which has never happened to me. I have one pup with severe separation anxiety and had to book without meeting for the first time so nerves were high. My pups went in and immediately made themselves at home lol. I love that the pups get their own separate area to relax in. Charlotte seems knowledgeable and I definitely appreciated her updates. Will definitely keep her as a sitter for future needs🐾”

“Audree is amazing! She’s kept our Chocolate Lab a few times for overnight stays. During each visit, Audree keeps us updated and shares photos throughout the stay. She really cares about the overall health and wellness of each pet and seems to personalize care per your pet’s needs. She’s amazing.”
“Megan is an outstanding dog boarder. She sent us photos of Dream daily and an update. Megan gave Dream exceptional care and I could not be more appreciative for Megan . Highly recommend!!!”
“We're repeat clients, and it's always a great experience. Kyon truly enjoys his time with this family! Yeny and Ray are warm, welcoming, and treat every pet as if they were their own. Their genuine love and care for animals really shines through.”
“Traci is amazing, very responsive and my dog has so much fun at her house! She goes out of her way to make special accommodations for my big boy and I couldn’t be more grateful to her!”
“Julie is so amazing! She keeps you informed daily with pics and updates. My dog Mack really seemed to enjoy his week long stay. I highly recommend her!! Thanks Julie for taking such excellent care of my boy!”

“Anna was awesome! Our kitties loved her, she was great with checkins and communication! We have introverted kitties with some loneliness issues and she was amazing with them, completely eased my nerves about leaving them over a holiday weekend. She even went the extra mile and washed up their food containers. Will definitely rebook in the future!”
“Jessica was awesome! We loved the updates and pictures of our kitty while we were gone and she even looked after our feral kitties and possum (great for killing ticks). We will definitely be using her again!”

“She was great! She was very understanding and helpful since Izzy is young and was not on her best behavior. She took her on walks and feed her lunch. Larissa was very attentive. I’ll definitely use her again if she’ll have us.”
“I was so happy to find this sitter! We just adopted a rescue dog. He has a lot of anxiety. He needs special care while he is adjusting to his new home. Because of his anxiety he needs a low stimulation environment. She has been so good working with my dogs special needs! I can’t say enough good about her!! We are so grateful for the care she has given our dog!!”
“They are amazing! I’ve never trusted anyone more with my dog. They treated my dog like he was their own and it made me feel so comfortable leaving him there. They were very flexible and I loved them!!”
“This was our first time using the Rover app for our babies. At first I was nervous but once we meet Phillip that changed. Phillip was so welcoming and took really good care of our babies for the day. Phillip I want to thank you for caring for our babies you did an amazing job. We will definitely be booking with you again. See you soon!”
“⸻ 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!”
“We had a wonderful experience with Charlotte. She kept us updated with pictures and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. Zoey absolutely loved playing with her dogs and came home happily exhausted from all the fun. I would definitely book with Charlotte again.”
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 7 year old, 10 year old, 13 year old and 16 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. I have options to separate dogs if necessary. Dogs are separated at feeding time.
“Ligia did a good job caring for my two dogs in their doggie day care stay. Does a good job of slowly introducing new dogs to each other and respecting if certain dogs don't want to play with others. Her house and yard are set up in a way that allows her to separate animals, if needed. She communicated well with me and was available at the agreed upon times. We will be booking with her again in the future.”
About: I am a very detail oriented, dependable and responsible person, but most of all - I have a heart for animals (especially doggies)! I was the kid that snuck puppies into my bedroom, found a stray kitten and spent all the time in the world to make them feel safe until they played with me. I love being around animals and taking care of them, as they provide the best unconditional love and give back in more ways than one. I know how hard and stressful it can be to leave your fur babies all alone when you're away, so I want to share my love and care to ensure the best care for you and your fur babies! I am very flexible! Just give me a call to set up a meet n greet. I can work with you to accommodate your needs. I’m happy to house sit in your home or take care of your fur baby in my home. Of course, I do a meet n greet to ensure everyone is comfortable!
“Chris was very patient, flexible, accommodating, and understanding. We had last minute plans and needed someone to look after our Saint Bernard. We did a meet and greet and a daycare session to get her comfortable before we leave and he did a great job!”
“Tahliyah was amazing with Kiya! She really enjoyed her time there with her and her pups! We are so glad we found a sitter that meets all Kiyas requirements! (Access to water, dogs that match her energy, can play freely inside and outside plus a human friend that doesn’t mind her being close !! We will be booking with 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!!”
About: I absolutely adore animals. I have four children who are also huge animal lovers so if you board with us in home your pet will be absolutely doted on. Pet parents will be hard pressed to find a family that will take better care of your pet or give them as much love and attention. I love being outside and going on long walks and would love to accompany your dog on their daily walk. We have a tremendous amount of time to play with your pet, take them on walks, and give them the attention they not only require but also deserve. We have a decent sized fenced in yard which is perfect for lots of play time! We are very attentive to animals and have experience giving medication including shots.
“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 at taking care of Dasher Ron short notice. She communicated with me throughout the day and sent pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter!”
About: I have hands on experience caring for my own dogs, including an 8-year-old Corgi and a 3-year old Dachshund. I understand that every dog has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I take the time to make each pet feel safe and at home. I’m comfortable with feeding schedules, walks, playtime, basic medication routines, and caring for both younger and older dogs. I also know how important communication is, so I’m happy to provide regular photos and updates while your pet is staying with me. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to be home often and available for boarding throughout the week. I can accommodate different drop-off and pick-up times Pets in my home are treated like part of the household. I have a large backyard with plenty of space for dogs to get outside, play, and enjoy some fresh air. I keep the home pet-friendly, supervise outdoor time, and stay careful with doors and entrances to help prevent escapes. I also pay attention to how each dog adjusts to the environment so they can feel comfortable during their stay.

“Jessica was amazing! She walked my two dogs, a high strung chihuahua and elderly dog (14 y.o.), for 30min for 4 days. She reached out and asked if I wanted her to meet the dogs before walking them which was great. The chihuahua tends to bark his head off at strangers, and I wasn't sure how he'd react (he ended up running away from her the first day for 15min, sorry Jessica). The older dog had diarrhea throughout the house one day, and cleaning up after something like that isn't really what I consider her job. I told her she didn't need to worry about it, and I'd deal with it when I got back. However, she ended up cleaning up as much as she could anyways (that's going to be a big tip). Besides my dogs being a huge pain. She always responded quickly and sent a lot of pictures from the walks.”
About: I have house/dog sat for 7+ years now around my old neighborhood. I have cared for pets (cats and dogs) of many ages and breeds. I am experienced with giving your fur babies the medications that they may need and the amount of exercise they require. I am experienced with caring for young and old dogs and will personalize care however you prefer. My pup requires a long walk every day so I am used to walking long distances if needed; it is completely up to you to decide! I have a SUPER friendly boxer. He plays very well with other dogs, big and small. He loves all dogs, humans, cats, you name it. I also currently foster for a Belgian Malinois rescue and have a ~2yo mal foster. She is also friendly and does well with dogs but prefers neutrality. If your dog isn’t friendly or prefers alone time, that is also fine! I am easily able to separate dogs so that they can have a neutral environment. I work from home currently, so I am available to take the pups out whenever they need. My dogs usually get a long walk (1-4 miles) and any dogs I watch are welcome to join! If they cannot handle a longer walk they can get a shorter walk before or after my dog’s walk. I leave for about an hour a day to work out or run errands. At most I’m gone 2 hours from my house. I live in a neighborhood and have a semi large yard. My yard is not fenced but I have long lines (leashes) that I will take your dog out on to run and get exercise if they do not prefer walks. They will always be supervised and on-leash outside to prevent any accidents!
About: I’ve taken care of pets for as long as I can remember. I work full time at a grooming salon as a pet bather. And I have experience working at an animal hospital and a pet sitting company. I’m able to watch any sized dog and any age from puppies to seniors. I also offer simple grooming services! I regularly take multiple dogs on hikes for at least 1 hour and am used to watching large groups of dogs at a time I’m currently working full time, 5 days a week. I am free all day Tuesday, and Sunday. But I’m also free after 4pm any other day . I can pet sit overnight any day and do drop in visits in the morning, evening, and at night. I am unable to board dogs at my own home but at a clients home I can take your dogs for both short and long walks. I can even take them to a park for a nature hike. I will feed them at their scheduled times and if wanted by owners I can crate them. If medication is needed I am comfortable with giving it to them. I will give them plenty of love and lots of playtime. If wanted I can also give nail trims, brushing, ear cleaning and baths as I work full time as a pet bather.
About: Hi! I’m Cami, and I live in Fredericksburg with my husband, daughter, and our two cats. I’m a preschool teacher and have been caring for pets since I was 12 years old. Over the years, family, friends, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their pets while they’re away.

“Hailey comes highly recommended if you want someone punctual, honest, trustworthy and willing to go above and beyond to provide the best professional care for your animals. She took care of our Reese’s for almost five days while we were away. She provided great pics, perfectly capturing our girls happiness! She also provided in great detail how each individual walked played out. She made sure she always had fresh water and food. You really can’t go wrong with this one.”

“Having Lorena keep our dogs was a great experience for us and more importantly, our dogs. They were treated as part of their family and made friends with them and the other dogs. Their home lay-out is so nice for the dogs to have private quiet time when wanted and mingle as well. Can't say enough good things about our experience.”
“Connie was fantastic with my four dogs. It was my first time using Rover and was very nervous about it. I have never left my dogs with a sitter. Connie and her family kept me posted everyday and with pictures. I have since moved and wish she was in my new State. I would highly recommend this sitter.”
“Larissa was a wonderful sitter! She kept us informed with texts, pics, and videos. Our dog had a great time with her. I would highly recommend her to any dog owner.”
“So glad I found Charlotte! I was in need of a very last minute sitter which has never happened to me. I have one pup with severe separation anxiety and had to book without meeting for the first time so nerves were high. My pups went in and immediately made themselves at home lol. I love that the pups get their own separate area to relax in. Charlotte seems knowledgeable and I definitely appreciated her updates. Will definitely keep her as a sitter for future needs🐾”
“Cannot say enough amazing things Jacob and Sarah. Boarded my puppy with them for thanksgiving and she was treated as if she was part of the family. I will always chose them first for my boarding needs.”
“Sonja and Phil did an excellent job looking after our fur babies and we will certainly be repeat customers. They shared multiple pics and updates daily, which set my mind at ease as I am always anxious about boarding them.”
“Chris has alway been amazing!!! Great communication and flexibility. This is our third or fourth time booking and it won’t be our last!!! Thank you so much for always taking good care of Gunner!!!”
“Lovely house and neighborhood. Great yard. Very kind and gentle with my dog. Followed care instructions. Great communication and sent pictures while I was away. Highly recommend”
“Hannah is the best! I am incredibly grateful for the love she has for my little Blue. Blue is a dog who doesn’t usually like people, so seeing how excited and happy he gets as soon as he recognizes the route to Hannah’s house is wonderful. He absolutely loves being with her, and I know he is happy and feels safe when he is in her care. The way he reacts when he sees her and how excited he gets is more than enough for me to know that she is the best thing that has happened to us. Thank you, Hannah, for loving Blue so much and taking such wonderful care of him!”
“Megan is an outstanding dog boarder. She sent us photos of Dream daily and an update. Megan gave Dream exceptional care and I could not be more appreciative for Megan . Highly recommend!!!”
“Tracy was outstanding! I’ve NEVER felt more comfortable leaving my Duke with anyone else as I did with Tracy. We received daily updates (pics/videos) of hun and it kept my mind at ease that our baby was being cares for. Thank you so much Tracy! You are a Godsend!”
“We're repeat clients, and it's always a great experience. Kyon truly enjoys his time with this family! Yeny and Ray are warm, welcoming, and treat every pet as if they were their own. Their genuine love and care for animals really shines through.”
“I have an older dog who is not great with strangers. Warren put her at ease very quickly. When I came by for a visit, she was very comfortable with him. The other animals in the house got along great with her, as well. I could not have been happier about the stay.”
“Christie was thoughtful and ensured the safety of all of the pets that were in her care the week we boarded our dog. She did meets and greets with the pets and owners so everyone was comfortable. When we dropped our dog off she was excited to be there and couldn't wait to go in. Our dog enjoyed her time at Christie's. Christie provided videos of the dogs playing.”
“Traci is amazing, very responsive and my dog has so much fun at her house! She goes out of her way to make special accommodations for my big boy and I couldn’t be more grateful to her!”
