“Torrie was amazing with my dog, Boston, and made sure I got updates and pictures of their time together. Highly recommend and looking forward to our future bookings. ☺️”


“Shemoy was absolutely awesome with my boy. She visited him before the day and developed a good connection and interacted with him like she had known him forever. She was incredibly loving with him and I was more comfortable that I thought I would be for our first time away!”


“Morgan was great with my 2 pups! He followed my instructions and went above and beyond to ensure my girls were well taken care of. I received daily updates and photos, which was great while I was out of the country. He brought in all my packages, bins and ensured I came home to a clean house. Highly recommend!”


“Starfire was amazing with our three dogs. Each has their little quirks but she handled them flawlessly. Our golden retriever pup (10 months old) is in her dinosaur stage but Starfire was able to contain her ? Definitely will book again. Thank you so much for taking great care of Groot, Spam & Ozrah.”


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.

“We booked with Meghan again to watch our big guy for us, and she was phenomenal just like last time! She is very thorough and gave great updates after every visit!”


“Sure! Here's a concise and casual review: Virginia is an amazing dog sitter! She stayed at our house for a week and took such great care of our two dogs. It was clear they were happy and well-loved while we were away. She kept everything in order and left the house spotless. We’d definitely trust her again—highly recommend!”


“Alexandra is Amazing!! She was so good with our fur-babies!! Normally our boys are all over us when we come home, even if it is just a trip to the store. Alexandra stayed with them for the day and when we got home, they were like "Oh....you're home..." They were so content and happy! We got regular communications and wonderful pictures! Alexandra is definitely our go-to dog sitter!”


“Kimberly was great! Our animals loved her and her communication while we were gone was just what we needed to allow us to enjoy our time away knowing our animals were taken care of. Highly recommend her! Thank you Kimberly!”


“Alex saved the day and the dogs were happy when we got home. She was great about communication and sent picks while we were gone. So nice to nt have to worry. Thanks see you soon.”


“My dogs were very happy with Lauren. She sent me lots of pictures, videos, and updates while I was away and didn’t hesitate to contact me with questions. I felt very comfortable leaving them in her care and will certainly check with her first in the future if I need a petsitter. Great choice if you need someone to watch or stay overnight with your pets!”


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!

About: Hello I am Maura! I grew up in a very large family and we always had a dog. I have had four dogs of my own. I have done pet sitting and fostering for families, friends and a dog rescue organization. My husband and I are passionate dog lovers with 30 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and ages. I'm reliable, responsible, and dedicated to providing a safe and loving environment for your furry family member. I’ve always been drawn to dogs and spent years volunteering for a dog rescue organization where I gained valuable experience in caring for dogs with a variety of needs. My husband volunteered with me and together we made several trips down south in a large van to rescue puppies from puppy mills or older dogs scheduled to be euthanized for sitting in shelter too long. I offer in-home pet sitting, dog walking, and drop-ins, and I'm happy to administer medication, provide playtime, and ensure your dog's comfort and well-being. I have a strong understanding of dog behavior and am happy to provide personalized care based on your dog's individual needs. My hasband and I are both home every day. I am available to care for dogs day or night. We are very active and include dogs in out daily life alone the Potomac River. Spending time in the yard and walking around the neighborhood are part of my daily routine. My home is pet friendly with a large, fenced yard. Dogs are treated as family members. I am open minded and will listen carefully to any specific instructions provided to me for your furry friend.

About: I’ve been taking care of the family dogs ever since I was 8! I’ve been the one who’s fed them, taken them on walks, and everything else they need. I’ll treat your pet like family, and I’m an animal lover through and through ❤️ I work full time at a Cardiology office, 8:30-5, so if you have a similar schedule I would be a great fit! I’d make sure the pets’ feeding schedules and potty schedules stay the same :) When I watch pets I generally stay at the clients home, treating like a hotel room and keeping it spotless! Generally I find it’s the comfiest for pets as well so they feel safe in a known environment.

“Tori was great with Isis, Isis was very happy and content when I returned home and I could tell that care was taken in my absence. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs.”


“A wonderful sitter! She did fantastic with all our pets!”


About: I have worked at a dog boarding kennel/shelter for over two years where I have gained a huge amount of skills and experience caring for dogs. On a daily basis I walk, feed, medicate, bathe, clean up after, and cuddle with dogs of every size and temperament. Additionally, I've worked at farms and owned quite a few fur-babies of my own so I'm quite comfortable caring for all sorts of animals including cats, ferrets, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, fish, chickens, parrots, horses, goats, donkeys, and more! I am currently on summer break and only working part time so I have a flexible schedule and plenty of time to care for your pets! I will carefully follow any instructions you give me and can provide a huge variety of services from walking to bathing, playing fetch, cuddling, medicating, and more. I would love to help take care of your furry friends while you're away, and I will always make sure they are given the best care possible, and of course lot's of love.

About: I've dedicated many years to caring for pets, ensuring they receive the love and attention they deserve. My experience extends beyond my own furry companions, as I've also helped friends by looking after their pets. This involvement has deepened my passion for animals, allowing me to understand their various needs and personalities. Whether it's walking dogs, feeding cats, or providing a comforting presence, I've always found joy and fulfillment in these responsibilities. I'm currently working part time so I have a lot of spare time to care for pets. I'm available on any days and hours I'm not scheduled to work. I will 100% monitor outside potty breaks and play time and use a leash and harness for outside walks. I fallow all guidlines given to me by a customer in their home along with keeping open communication at all times (which means I could be reached at any moment).

“Lexie was one of the best we have ever had …. She loved the dogs, took care of extra things around the house and was super responsive! She is our “ go to” now and hopefully for a long while!”


“Asked Sue last minute to drop by my house and take care of my two girls-- She was great! Updated me with pictures and activities. She's extremely trustworthy and kind. Wouldnt hesitate to have have watch my girls again!”

“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!!”

“Nicole is our families absolute go to for all our dog sitting needs. She’s friendly, responsive, prompt and follows all instructions about your pet’s care. She has watched the pups for us many times, from short weekend trips to much longer travel stints. Whether we have been gone for two nights or for seven we return home to happy healthy pets and a clean home. She asks thoughtful questions and adapts so readily to your pet’s unique quirks you don’t have to stress about leaving your pets when she’s on the watch. We highly recommend Nicole except for any dates that we want to use her for our dogs! When she asked us to write this review for her it was bittersweet because everyone deserves to have a pet sitter as caring and capable as Nicole but the secret will get out how wonderful she is!”
