“Beth took terrific care of my cats while I was on vacation. She clearly made the effort to get familiar with their individual personalities and was attuned to each of their needs. Beth got great shots of the cats and it gave me tremendous peace of mind knowing they were well cared for. Additionally, Beth is an excellent communicator which is very much appreciated. I wouldn't hesitate to entrust Beth with the care of my pets in the future.”

“I can not say enough good things about Emily!! Besides being extremely professional and so kind she went above and beyond. Not only did she take great care of Henry she brought in our mail and a parcel. Also a smoke detector was beeping and she instantly contacted me. The issue was a dead battery (my bad, sorry!) I highly reccomend Emily. And she even got to pet Henry. He never comes out with someone he doesn't know. I give her a hundred stars!! Thank you so very much Emily! Melissa S.”

“Shayna is a very caring and trustworthy person, We had her stay with three of our dogs Malcolm, Sasha and Mia and they adored her and she took such good care of them like they was her own, I would recommend Shayna to anyone that needs a real good pet sitter, I will be using Shayna in the near future to set with my dogs when we go away because I know that they will be in good hands while she's taking care of them.”


6. Darian C.

“We had an amazing experience with Darian! She did a phenomenal job caring for our dogs while we were out of town. We felt reassured from the moment we left knowing they were in good hands. She went above and beyond—keeping us updated with photos and messages, ensuring they stuck to their routines, and showing them so much love and attention. It was clear she genuinely cared for our pups, and we returned to find them happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for better care, and we will absolutely book her again in the future! Highly recommend! 🐾”


7. Crystal & Jadon K.


“Great experience! Crystal was very attentive to our boys, especially the puppy! She was also very knowledgeable & thorough during the meet and greet.”


8. Emily C.
“This was our first time asking Emily to drop in visit and care for our black lab who is also our big baby. Any pet owner understands what a huge deal it is to trust someone with the welfare of your fur baby. I sensed upon meeting Emily that she would meet our expectations and did she EVER!!! We were gone for nearly three days and we were over-the-moon impressed with the updates we received from Emily with photos, videos and “notes” from Deacon. Emily made us feel totally at ease and we have already booked future drop in visits by Emily for our pets!!”


9. Glenn C.

“When we are away we never worry when Glen is there. Our cats are picky but they have taken to Glen right away. We will be using again. Thank you !!!”


10. Clayton E.
“I couldn't be happier with the pet sitting services provided by Clayton. It was clear Clayton has a genuine love for animals. He took the time to get to know my pets and understand their individual needs and personalities. While I was away, Clayton sent me regular updates, including photos and videos, which gave me peace of mind. My pets were well cared for, and I could see they were happy and relaxed. It's not easy to leave your furry family members in someone else's care, but with Clayton, I knew they were in excellent hands. I highly recommend Clayton to anyone in need of a reliable, compassionate, and professional pet sitter. Thank you for going above and beyond!”


11. lauren m.
About: I've had pets all my life cats, dogs, fish, hamsters, Bunnies, and taken car of horses. I love animals and am not afraid of their messes. During the summer I have plenty of time to take care of pets though during the school year certain times of day I won't be available due to classes. I've learned to come at pets with the caution they need. I'm very friendly and always want to be sweet to pets but I can be tough if the situation calls for it to not let animals walk all over me. I love animals and like taking the time for their needs.

13. Jessica K.

“This was my first time using Rover and Jessica was awesome! She responded within minutes and sent me updates with pictures. I've always used the local vet for dog boarding but will definitely be using Jessica again in the future. I highly recommend her!”


14. Megan G.
“Megan is the most wonderful dog sitter I have ever had. She has taken care of my dog, a large German Shepherd, many times over the years. I always have such a good time on vacation knowing that my dog is happy, loved, and being well taken care of. Megan is natural dog person, and it's obvious that my dog is always excited to see her and to get to spend time with her. I have never trusted anyone as much as I trust Megan to watch my home and take care of my pet while I am away. She is a wonderful, responsible, caring individual, and I couldn't possibly recommend her more highly. If you're looking for an excellent trustworthy person to watch your home while you're away, Megan won't disappoint!”


15. Pam W.

“Pam was wonderful with our three cats. She went above and beyond caring for them. Pam even brushed and groomed the cats. Pam always showed up on time, played with the cats and kept us well informed with pictures and texts. She was very respectful of our home, we would Highly recommend Pam for any sitting job.”


16. Erin S.
“Erin fostered our dog for us when we could no longer keep him due to severe life threatening allergies. They were so accommodating and attentative to his needs and kept him safe and happy until we could find him another home.”

About: I’ve owned dogs from the age of 5- cocker spaniels and a vibrant personality that rescued me from a local shelter. She’s a gsd/lab mix and a total handful but she’s taught me so much about larger breeds! And rescues! For my clients I prefer small/medium dogs up to 60lbs. I can take your dog or puppy out to potty, give it a little playtime or cuddles, and make sure it’s fed and has fresh water while you work or vacay! I am mostly self employed and have a very flexible schedule that has allowed me to offer to drop in on your pet as needed for our local area. I frequent the Cumberland/Frostburg area while working any way so it would be easy for me to swing by and help! I personally keep my dog on a leash while outside and am a client at Lavale vet so we have access to 24 hour emergency care. I also have owned pets with special needs (ask me about my bunny) so I have experience caring for older pets that may need unique care.


18. Amy A.
“Amy is dependable and genuinely cares for our dog. It's a relief not having to worry about our dog when we're away. We know she's getting the best by someone who is dependable and trustworthy. Amy goes the extra mile.”


19. Megan O.
About: My entire life, I have had a dog. Whether it be a hunting dog (well, my dad had those), or an indoor dog, I have always been around them. I currently have an English Mastiff named Roxi, a Shih-tzu/Yorkie mix named Bella, and a mixed breed I rescued named Brutus! I love them more than anything!! My dogs also love it because they love having friends over! :) I strive to give them the best life and always keep them up to date at the vet and groomer. I will not hesitate to make a vet trip if I sense that something is wrong. My two year old twins also love dogs, so that makes it fun for everyone! I am home every day, all day! I work as an on call nurse every other week, so then my husband is home to puppy sit! We love our dogs more than some people love their kids, haha! Our dogs have every necessity they need to live a happy life! Our dogs are allowed to sleep with us and on the couch, and when they are not on the couch they are on their very expensive beds! :) We treat them better than family! Our dogs get to go outside frequently to play, as well as relaxing on our gated back porch. We do go for walks, but our big girl, Roxi the mastiff, has some hip tenderness so she isn't as active as she used to be!
