“Elizabeth came as a last minute replacement for a unexpected cancellation (not Rover). She quickly learned their names and what they needed during her visit. She sent photos and messaged me when needed. I would hire her again.”
“100% recommend Jessica! She is very caring and always on time. Sends pictures and gives good updates on your fur baby :) I have used her multiple times and will continue to! She is excellent with communication as well.”
“Leah has great response time to anything I needed and went over an extra time when I was worried about something small. The animals all seemed to respond well to her and she spent a nice amount of time playing and petting them so they didn’t feel so lonely!”
About: I have been dog sitting on weekends for my sister and brother in law for almost a year, she is a 10 month old bernedoodle with lots of energy! I also love caring for senior dogs. I have cat sit for 2 of my neighbors’ multiple cats, and have 2 pups of my own - Romeo and Bambi - both toy poodles aged 4 and 6 years old. I helped train both of them when they were puppies, and they are very well-behaved and loved! I currently work part-time on weekdays in the afternoon, so besides that I would have plenty of time to care for your furry friends - either overnight or for just a few hours! I am free before 5 pm Monday - Friday and after 9 pm, and I am available all day Saturday. I am usually busy Sundays, but can sometimes find time for it if you need full weekend care, so don’t hesitate to ask! I am very thorough and flexible with following any specific instructions you might have for caring for pets in your home. I have experience with crated dogs and free roam pets, so anything you need, I can do!
“Tia was great! she was super patient with my cats and me. Tia really took the time to follow all the instructions i sent over without any annoyance or complaints!! i hate having to leave my cats but Tia sent over lots of photos and took such great care of them i wasn’t stressed at all. i will definitely be using Tia for future bookings!”
About: I’ve had dogs my entire life and have been the primary caregiver for my pups the past 23 years. From house training and socialization to managing energy levels and building trust, I understand what it takes to give pets a loving and structured environment. More than anything, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m calm, attentive, and always focused on keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable! I currently work a 9–5 job, so I’m available for evening drop-ins and walks during the week. Open on most weekends! That said, I just had a newborn and will be home all summer, which gives me a flexible daytime schedule for caring for pets and making sure pups get the time and attention they need. I truly love being around animals and enjoy spending my spare time with them—whether it’s a quick walk, a snuggle session, or simply making sure they feel safe and loved while you’re away. Your pet’s comfort and safety are my top priorities. Whether you have a small pup or a big dog, I’m happy to take them on walks—or if you prefer, we can stay in the yard or play indoors. I’ll follow your preferences to make sure your pet feels secure and cared for. If your pet just needs some company and a buddy for a while, I’m here for that too. During my visits, your pet will be treated like part of the family—loved, respected, and given the attention they deserve in a calm, safe environment.
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.
“I couldn’t have asked for a better Rover for my girl Mindil. I have peace of mind every day that Mindil gets the love and care I would give her, while I’m away at work. Christina is super responsive and helpful and leaves the best cards for me to view after each visit. We got very lucky to have found her.”
About: I have always loved dogs and had my own, but I started caring for other people’s dogs at around 13 years old. In early 2022, I started working at the doggy daycare/boarding facility I currently work at, and I am now a manager there. I am responsible for feeding, bathing, administering medication, playing with and cleaning up after dogs of all different breeds, temperaments, ages and sizes, and I couldn’t be more passionate about my job. I currently work full time (at a dog kennel), and my schedule is consistent but switches days every week. I know my schedule very far out in advance so it should be easy to work with! I have 2 dogs at home that are well trained but not very friendly with other dogs, so at home boarding does not work for me. However, at your home, I can work with whatever system you have going for your dogs already, whether that be a crate training system or something different. I have plenty of experience from my current job and can meet all the needs you and your furry friend need to be satisfied:)
About: I have cared for dogs in my neighborhood for seven years. I have done day visits as well as overnight visits. Additionally, I have cared for dogs from puppies to seniors. I am more than ready to take care of and love your pups! I am currently a college student at The University of Alabama. On the weekends, I am available at any time. During the weekdays, I am only unavailable from 8am-1pm but can do check ins between classes! I will make frequent visits to visit your dogs throughout the day (and night if necessary). During this time, I will ensure that all necessities are met such as feedings, meds, potty time, and playtime. Additionally, I am more than willing to stay overnight to ensure that the dog has the best care possible.
About: I have extensive experience with separation anxiety and elderly dogs who have medical needs. I take care of pets the way I would want my pets cared for. I own a cleaning company and have a very flexible schedule. I have a large yard and lots of space for the fur babies to romp and play! I treat them as if they’re members of my family🥰 lots of love, play, attention, and treats! Rest easy knowing your pets are safe and happy in my home!

About: I have a lovely home in St Mary’s County with a fenced in back yard overlooking three acres. My family has always had dogs and it wouldn’t be home without them! We have three friendly beagle mixes, ages 2, 3 and 4. I worked full time for 28 years as a counselor for folks with disabilities and took an early retirement in order to be home for my middle school age son. I love walking and playing with pups, who make our lives much better through their loving companionship. Before our current dogs, I have raised three other family dogs and three cats, a love bird, four parakeets, fish and a bearded dragon! I have pet sat for several friends as well and enjoy it!

“Stacy has taken care of our sweet puppy, Maple multiple times now. She's always communicative, and is clearly, incredibly passionate about animals. When my husband and I had to go out-of-state for a wedding, she sent regular updates and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was so comforting knowing that Maple was being well cared for, and even a little spoiled (in the best way!). It's not easy for me to leave my pup behind on big trips, but Stacy made the experience 100% worry-free. If you're looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and loving sitter, book her!!”
