Pet Sitting in Benevola

“Gaye was incredible with our anxious dog. She was patient and calm and made him feel safe while we were away. Now he LOVES her. We will definitely be using her again!!”

“Mandi was incredibly perfect for my family! I booked her for my parents while I was a few states away, and Mandi was awesome at communicating and setting up a visit with my parents! Their cat (was originally my cat, but my other cats would chase her) has a habit of grabbing her tail which leaves some minor scratches and requires some ointment application. Mandi applied it as needed and let us know when that was! She was also able to adjust her visits as my parents ended up leaving later than anticipated, and got back a day early. I would most certainly recommend Mandi for your pet sitting needs!”

“Thank you, Lauren, for taking care of my buddies while I was out of town. The cats and I greatly appreciate your follow through and dependability.”

“Robin took care of our cats for a week while we went on our first vacation. We were so nervous to leave them for that long. Once again, she was the best and we are so grateful for her. Not only did she send pictures, updates and took care of them, but we came home to the house in order and cat trash taken care of. She is by far the best!!! Thank you Robin for everything!”

Caecilia A.

“As always, Gizmo looks forward to her visits with Katherine. There is plenty of play time, love and attention so I feel comfortable going on vacation. 10 out of 10!!!!”

“For our first time using rover we were very pleased with Cari and the services provided. I felt comfortable with leaving my animals in her care. All her visits were right at the time agreed upon and the dogs were well taken care of with updates at every drop in.”

“Kelly is amazing and my GSD King loves her. She is timely and flexible and gives the best love to my main man. I receive pictures of her visit and that makes me happy. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly with your fur baby.”

About: I've taken care of pets professionally since I was college-aged, worked in 2 kennels with additional care given via baths, nail trims, etc. Have also owned dogs and cats all throughout my life. Comfortable with all sizes. I work from home, so I'm available all day to take care of your pet! I have a 1 year old black Labrador who is so sweet and loves to play, so hopefully they can wear each other out! I have a fenced yard and a black Lab that is very sweet and friendly to keep your pet company! She's probably more excited to see them than I am! You can expect frequent potty breaks, administered medicine I'd needed, and lots of playing!

“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”

“Patten was a God send, since I had to pull last minute shifts with the wife being away for work. Daisy took to her so well and she really made sure to keep Daisy company and not just feed her take her out and leave for the day. She truly cared enough to play with Daisy and make sure that she ate all her food before she would take her out. Again cannot be more grateful how helpful and caring she was to Daisy.”

About: Hi I’m Kate! I’ve grown up with pets my whole life! Dogs, Cats, Birds, Reptiles, Ferrets, Rabbits, Hamsters, Chickens, and Goats! My childhood dog was a toy poodle and now I have 2 German shepherds! All raised from pups. I’m comfortable working with all pet animals size or age doesn’t matter I love em! Im currently in college studying sports medicine, im hoping this can become a part time job for me! I am available Monday-Friday anywhere from 8am to 3pm. Your fur baby has my best interests! Whether we’re on a walk or just checking in, I’ve worked with harnesses and collars. My animals are my life and I 100% understand that they’re your’s too!

About: I have several years of personal and professional pet care, but a lifetime of love for animals! I take humble pride in being the stranger that your critter who "never comes out to see anyone" is suddenly on my lap. I've cared for critters of all kinds, sizes and temperaments. Have any questions, shoot me a message! Looking forward to meeting you and your fuzzy or scaly loved ones. I am seeking to make this a 25-35 hrs/week gig with multiple clients. My availability is very flexible and open at this given time (June 2025). I commute between an apartment in downtown Hagerstown and St Mary's County (Wildewood) and care for my family's German shepherd (Freya) and teddy bear (Odin) about 1-2 days a month in W.V. Those dates are preplanned. I'm an early bird, up around 4:30-6 AM. I have a low maintenance mainecoon so she grazes all day and has plenty to do till I come home for my own kitty snuggles. I can only care for your pets on their turf or if you allow it, to take them to public parks. Both of my residences do not allow additional boarding. I personally wouldn't mind, but, rules are rule. I'm very adaptable and would love to keep any routine you have with your pets. From nicknames, babytalk, several walks a day, a bath etc... Write down your desired routine for Fido/Whiskers and I'll do my best to keep them entertained and comfortable until you're back home.

About: I grew up with dogs and have trained up two puppies in the last five years, one of them was a hunting dog. Currently I have a four-year-old tabby named Coco! I love to be active and play outside but I’m also happy to just sit and love on your fur babies, throw around toys or whatever makes your animals happy! I typically work Monday through Thursday until about 3 PM. I’m happy to do evening care if you’re working late or if you need someone for a long weekend to pop in! I am a big fan of the philosophy, meet people or in this case pets where they are. I pride myself on being respectful, and will essentially do whatever is asked of me, to make your animal or fur baby the most comfortable!

About: I am reliable, loving, and attentive, ensuring pets feel safe, happy, and well-cared for while their owners are away. I feel pets are part of the family and I do allow them on my furniture and give lots of snuggles and kisses. I have over 26 years of experience raising my own pets to identify sickness and can administer meds (including insulin shots) if needed. Your fur babies will be my top priority and I promise to care for them like they are my own. I am available for watching your fur baby in my home to include overnight or coming to your house (not overnight), walks, or other care you may need. My schedule is flexible and will accommodate your needs. I have a privacy fenced yard and 4 sweet pups of my own to keep your dog(s) company. My property has multiple video cameras for security and I can send you photos and videos while you are away or FaceTime with you so you can see your babies are having fun and being well taken care of and loved. I understand pet care very well as I have had 8 fur babies previous to the 4 I have currently from big dogs to little dogs. I am very aware of changes in behavior or if fur babies aren’t feeling well and will communicate with you if I think your baby is not feeling well.

“As always, above and beyond! I have a medically needy old man and added a 3 month old puppy to the mix. Tiffany was amazing with both. Thank you so much!!”

About: I'm Hannah! I have two boys, ages 3 and 7. My kids are great with dogs as we have been doing Rover for over 6 years. We are dog lovers and we would love to have your doggy in our home while you are away! I can offer as much or as little outside time that’s needed. Your baby will be in great hands while you’re away and you won’t miss a beat with all the pictures that are sent your way. Your dog will get a lot of outside time, exercise, play time, snuggles and freedom. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. (: I have a flexible work schedule and work from home 3 days a week. We love to be outdoors playing but are also completely fine staying inside and relaxing. We treat any dog in our home like family. We try to make them feel as comfortable as possible as we understand that being out of their home and away from their owners can cause different behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, hyperness, etc.

About: I have had dogs all my life, from German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, and now Golden Retrievers. Nine years ago I decided to foster and do home visits for a rescue. I ensure they get vetted, groomed, and work with any behavior issues from being abused or neglected. I have plenty of patience and make sure above all else, they know they are safe and loved. That is all our fur babies want is to be safe, loved, and taken care of and the unconditional love you get in return is simply amazing. Let me take care of your fur baby and I know you will be glad you did. I’m retired now and just want to do what I love, taken care of fur babies. I can help you anytime, just let me know what you need. I have a fenced in yard, and two friendly Goldens at home that get along with everyone. I can crate your dog if needed or they can have run of the house with mine. We have plenty of toys from ones to chew on, to several to play ball or frisbee outside. It doesn’t matter the age of your pet, I have had and adopted several older dogs, I love them all and they will get the best care. I have farm land in front of me to take them for walks if you would like that as well. Your pets will be well taken care of and safe.

“Stephanie was an absolute DREAM for my babies. I went out of town for a few days and normally my babies get a bit of anxiety when I leave for more than a day. When I came home, they were as happy as can be and we’re not distraught at all. She took such good care of them and always kept in contact with pictures. This is more than a job for her, she truly will love your babies and treat them as her own!”

“Leah dropped in on my 3 boys while my sitter was working and she was absolutely wonderful. She gave the boys report cards each visit to update me with lots of photos, and provided reassurance that they were okay when left alone overnight for the first time ever. She was even willing to make an additional visit when I thought we were going to be home later than anticipated. Will 100% be booking with Leah again!”

Whether it’s a walk, or playing in the yard, I will make sure that your pet has so much fun! I treat every dog like they are my own.
