“The experience I had boarding my Abby (golden) with Mariah was truly a great experience. You're always nervous to leave your Fur Baby with someone new. She put me at easy in the first two minutes. She loves and cared for my dog like it was her own. My baby was happy, happy to see me, but she didn't want to leave! It was funny! Thank you Mariah, I really appreciated her fitting me in like she did. Great Experience!”
“Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!”
“Michelle took great care of our dog Ollie. He stayed with her for two nights while we were away at a family reunion. He loves to play with other dogs and had a great time playing with Michelle’s dogs. She treated Ollie just as her own. I would highly recommend using Michelle for your dog sitting needs.”
“Diesel had a great getting to play with David's two Shepards and a Burmese Mountain dog. He was very easy to communicate with and took awesome care of my pup. Will definitely use again in the future.”
About: I have been taking care of dogs most of my life. Our family has had many fur babies. I have extensive experience with oral medication and taking care of senior dogs. I work full time, but will always make time for my furry friends. Extensive availability on nights and weekends. Please call me with any questions. I have a fenced in yard and 2 friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can also accommodate dogs that prefer a crate for personal space.
“She was like a second mom to our little old man mutt! She will go down in history as the best dog sitter he has had! Good communicator, up for administering meds, she spoiled him with love—thank you Maureen!!”
About: I grew up with two small dogs - Sam (Japanese Chin-Poodle Mix) and Liz (Shih-Tzu). Currently, I own two mixed-breed dogs with my husband in Newburg, PA. During high school and college, I dog-sat for family, friends and neighbors. I mainly have experience with small to medium-sized dogs; however, I’ve been recently volunteering at Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter to help me gain more experience with larger breeds. I also have experience with the following: puppy training, older dogs with special needs, and caring for dogs who are in post-surgery recovery/rehabilitation. I also possess general grooming skills which includes bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and basic body grooming with clippers. I work full-time in Shippensburg from 8AM-5PM Monday through Friday. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking in the evenings after 5:30 Monday through Friday. I’m available for boarding, day care, dog-walks and drop-in visits on the weekends. Boarding would start 5:30 on Friday and all dogs would need to be picked up by 5:30 on Sunday at the latest. One day boarding is also available (Friday into Saturday). Your dog’s safety and comfortability are very important to us. Our home is a one-story rancher with a fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for your dog to explore and get their zoomies out! We ensure there are slow, positive, leash-controlled introductions with our dogs and any other dogs in our care in order for the new dog to feel comfortable and accepted. All dogs are under supervised play and given access to appropriately-sized toys and treats for their breed. Feedings are given in a separate room away from our dogs. We use baby gates and shut doors to keep dogs within a limited, supervised area. At night, dogs are allowed to sleep in bed with us, on the floor in their own bed or in a crate that can be set up in our room. Walks are done around our quiet neighborhood or at the Hopewell Township Park which is a 5 minute walk from our home. Proper harness setup and leash attachment will be checked prior to going on the walk to ensure their safety. For pick-up or drop-off car rides, we provide a dog hammock in the backseat of our Toyota RAV4 and attach the dog’s harness to a seatbelt. If your dog has their own car seat, we can certainly use it, as long as they’re able to be buckled in. Your contact information and vet information will be readily available in case of emergency.
“Kayla was great at keeping me updated with pictures and videos of Doc while we were away. He seemed to fit right in with her and her pets and she was patient and understanding of his quirks. Pickup and drop off was quick and easy.”
About: I have cared for many different types of animals since I was a child. Dogs, cats, bunnies, rats and hamsters. Fostered and lived with many dogs. I currently have dogs and cats. They are the joy of my life especially since the kids (and grand dogs) have grown and moved. Couldn’t imagine life without them. I have two dogs and 2 cats to keep the fur guests company. Lots of play time in the fenced back yard. And snuggles on the couch.
“Cassie was amazing with Bailey!! She was very easy to contact and meet with to drop off and pick up! I would definitely recommend using Cassie to watch your pup, I will definitely be bringing Bailey back!”
About: I’ve been a life time animal lover! I grew up with two dogs, a German Shepherd and a Westie. I currently live on a 300 acre farm with 9 cats. We have a guest house where I will board your pet, so no need to worry about any interaction with my current pets. I can offer a relaxing atmosphere and all day care on weekends along with morning and afternoon care on week days. I can also board or do drop-in visits for fish, hamsters, or horses. Your dog will love a relaxing mountain retreat! Your cat can enjoy a quiet vacation! I work full time as a teacher. I can board your pet all weekends or in the afternoons. I can take crate trained dogs anytime during the week but could only provide potty breaks every 6-8 hours. I am available for dog walks or drop-in visits any day in the afternoon or evening in the Chambersburg, Gettysburg, and Hagerstown areas. Your pet would live only with me in a private guest house. We have 300 acres to go for walks or chase balls! My husband and 9 cats live in the main house. Our cats don’t mind other animals but I can keep your pet away from the cats if you prefer. As a 15 year high school teacher, I am very trustworthy, authentic, and kind. I admit to being a bit of a “crazy animal person” as I try to pet every animal I see! I can be trusted with your animal for an extended time or just an afternoon walk! I can also board hamsters or horses.
About: I have two pups of my own, a shitzu and boxer. My house is dog friendly and your pup will become one of the family over their stay with us. Treats, walks, and belly rubs for all. I work a full time job but am off all weekends. I am happy to host your animals Friday-Sunday. Optional weekdays possible after discussion on care. I own a house in town with a privacy fence in my back yard. Dogs are allowed to free roam the house while I am there, unless otherwise instructed.
About: I have 10 years experience with every type of animal from puppies, cats to horses reptiles and birds. I also have experience with dog training. I currently work full time but my job is very flexible with breaks, so your furry friend will get all of the attention that they require! I believe in utilizing all of the space available to provide the most optimal experience for the pet and for the family returning back home

“Jenna lives with a houseful of spoiled-rotten cats and outdoor critters and will take awesome care of your pets! She loves animals of all kinds: dogs, cats, farm animals, and even wild racoons! Jenna will leave your pet feeling loved and spoiled, so make sure that you leave out plenty of treats. She enjoys being outdoors, getting exercise, and walking her parents' dog when visiting them. She will be more than excited to walk your dog wherever they enjoy going. If you're looking for someone to nickname your pet and sing them songs, she is your first choice :)”
