About: I’ve had and loved animals my whole life and have experience watching all sorts of animals in all shapes age and size. My hope is for both pets and parents to be so comfortable with me that being separated is stressfree ! I currently work roughly 9am -3:30 pm M-F. I am available to feed or let whoever out during lunch as well! Weekends I’m free all day !! I’m unable to bring animals into my home but am happy to visit and hangout with them in their homes!! If desired I’m always able to go for local walks/hikes or fetch depending on exercise needs!
About: **please note I have a day job that takes me away from my house M-F from 5:30am until 4:15pm…all boarded pets will be let out to potty immediately upon returning home ** I have been taken care of dogs for over 15 years. My first dog 2 when I adopted him and I cared for him until he crossed over the rainbow bridge when he passed at 10yrs old. I also raised two puppies from 8 weeks until they crossed over as well. I work full time away from home Monday thru Friday, so your pet would be alone for about 8hrs week days. I will make sure they are let out before I leave and let out again immediately once I return home. I am able to walk dogs / check in on family pets after 4:30pm on week days. I have a deck and a 6ft tall fenced in yard. I do not have small children in my home. I also do not have any other pets that may not get along with another dog. I will always care for your pet as if it were my own.
“Fantastic sitter! Very easy to work with and flexible with arrival times. Kept in contact with us and sent updates every day. The dogs immediately took to her. Will definitely keep in mind to use again.”
“Did a fantastic job maintained contact for any questions that needed to be answered and sent great pictures and took initiative to do some small clean up. Would definitely recommend Emma with my highest respect.”
“Nadia did a great job checking on my kitty, we had just moved to this area and I was nervous about a new person checking in on her, but Nadia put my mind at ease, took care of my little kitty, and did a great job… I appreciate her, and will be using her again frequently.”
About: Though I've never had my own dog, I have always adored taking care of my loved ones' canine friends! From pitbulls to pugs and everything in-between, I am a reliable and dedicated caretaker for your pups :) I am on a break from full-time employment this summer so I can accommodate many bookings at various times thanks to my expanded availability. I am unable to care for pets in my own home but am willing to go to yours. Once you walk me through the care plan for your specific pet(s), I'm confident that they will be in good hands with me!
About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every animal I meet! As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine, whether that means playtime and enrichment for younger pets or providing a calm, nurturing environment for older companions! I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliability, communication, and compassionate care. I love getting to know each pet’s individual needs, favorite activities, and little quirks. Whether it’s sticking to a feeding schedule, administering extra TLC to anxious pets, or making sure your furry friend gets plenty of cuddles and playtime, I always go the extra mile!! My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and spoiled while you’re away, giving you peace of mind knowing they’re in caring hands! As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner, caring for pets fits naturally into my daily routine! I work in the office Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 4:30 PM, but I come home during my lunch break each day to care for my own pets and check in on any furry guests. Outside of work, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care to help them feel right at home! In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided by their owners! Pets in my care receive plenty of attention, affection, enrichment, and supervision. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I make sure they feel right at home and are treated like part of the family! In Clients’ Homes: When caring for pets in their own homes, I understand how important it is to maintain consistency and respect their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and household routines to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and cared for in the comfort of their own home!!
“Satsuki did an excellent job taking care of my cat over the holidays. She was always on time, sent detailed reports, and went above and beyond what I expected from a sitter. I will definitely be calling her again!”
“Adriana was fantastic! We have two dogs, and one is still working through some fear of new people from her time before us. We had a long time sitter that recently moved away and we're very nervous about introducing someone new. Adriana took the time to come meet us and our dogs prior to the requested service and was very patient with both of our dogs. She spent the entire visit outside playing ball and letting our dogs run even on a cold, rainy day. We will be booking with her again!”
About: Hi, I'm Taylor I have lived with pets all of my life like cats, dogs, birds, rodents, but not any reptiles. Although I am always willing to learn about your pet and how to take care of your little friend, or big. I know what to do in all situations, bad or good (sadly the bad ones happen sometimes) I have been taking care of pets since I was 4! that's because my family and I love to rescue, over time I have learned how to love all sorts of animals, with soft hands and a big heart, I hope to feel at home with the little guys that make your house a home <3 I hope to see you soon! I attend school Monday-Wednesday. My available days are Thursday - Sunday 2pm-9:30am. I can also work around certain times throughout the day, just message and ask! Lots of walks, snuggles, playtime and potty time when they need it. When my pets are sick I of course administer fluids as needed, medications and a comfy place to rest near a door to go potty. I make sure to feed my pets a well balanced diet that suits their needs and a home with lots of love
“Tiffany was super friendly and took great care of my dog while I was at work. I really appreciated the updates, pictures, and the peace of mind knowing my pup got some fresh air and attention during the day. Will definitely be booking again—highly recommend!”
About: I have hands-on experience caring for my own dog, who I’ve raised and cared for daily. This includes walking, feeding, grooming, and making sure all of my dog’s physical and emotional needs are met. Through this, I’ve learned how to read dog body language, recognize their comfort levels, and handle them safely on walks. In addition to my personal experience, I’ve taken time to educate myself on dog behavior and training, including larger breeds, so I understand the importance of staying calm, confident, and attentive when handling dogs of all sizes. I’m comfortable with daily walks, drop-in visits, and providing companionship. I always prioritize safety, patience, and making sure each dog feels comfortable and cared for. I have previously cared for different dogs such as a Siberian Husky, medium Poodle mix and American Staffordshire Terrier. My availability includes early mornings and afternoons through early evenings on most days. I do have a part-time job with a changing schedule, but I keep my calendar updated regularly and always confirm my availability before accepting bookings. I’m happy to work with your dog’s routine whenever my schedule allows and strive to provide reliable, consistent care. Feel free to reach out to discuss specific times. When caring for pets, safety and trust are my top priorities. As a dog owner myself, I’m used to maintaining a consistent routine that includes regular walks, feeding, fresh water, and making sure my dog feels comfortable and secure. For walks, I always make sure dogs are properly leashed and avoid unsafe situations, while paying close attention to their behavior and comfort. During drop-in visits, I follow all instructions carefully, ensure pets have everything they need, and make sure the home is left exactly as I found it. I respect each pet’s home and routine, and I’m committed to providing reliable, safe, and attentive care.

About: I’ve been watching after dogs for 3 or more years now wether it comes to staying overnight, walking them or just letting them out I love it. I have always loved dogs and love to work with them! I am currently a full time student. However I am done class at 1pm everyday so I am free any time after that for any and all of your pet care needs I have a fenced in big backyard with plenty of room for the dogs to play and run around as much as they’d like and I love walks
About: Hello my names Shianne, I go by Shy. I have been caring for pets since I was a child. I’m a huge animal lover and have had many pets over the years. I really pride myself on proving a fun, safe and relaxing time for your furry little family members (or hairless) I treat your pets as if they were my own, I know how important pets are to a family and how much they love them, Having the dog have an amazing time and the family be happy about my service is amazing payment. I’ve been caring for dogs for about 7 years now and also have some cat experience! I really hope you can entrust me with your dogs care and now they’ll be treated with the upmost care and love! I’m currently looking for another full time job so I’m home 24/7 so your pets will never be alone for longer than about 5-10 minutes at most. I’m a very overprotective person when it comes to others pets. They’re never out of my sight unless I need to do human things (bathroom) then I ask my mother to keep a quick eye on them. I’m always worried they might find a stray sock and eat it so I tend to follow them around and closely monitor any pets to make sure they’re nice and safe.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Hagerstown
Seems Oscar had a wonderful time with Veronica and her daughters. This was my first time utilizing Rover and will definitely be continuing and will be booking with Veronica in the future. Highly recommend. Thanks so much for hanging out with my boy and for the pictures!!
Trinity was quick to respond and came for a meet and greet ahead of her scheduled visit to meet our animals/learn their needs. She got along great with everyone. She checked in on our sweet high energy dog for some playtime and loving. She herded our ducks into their house for the evening with no problems! (Not always any easy feat if you haven’t done it before). She sent updates and pics from her visit. Would recommend her to anyone looking for pet sitting services for their animals. We’ll definitely use her again :)
I can’t recommend Katie enough as a dog sitter! She is responsible, caring, and truly loves animals. From the very beginning, Katie was reliable and communicative, always keeping me updated with messages and photos so I knew my dog was happy and well taken care of.

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Hagerstown stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Hagerstown choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Hagerstown with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Hagerstown. On Rover:

- 98% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 93% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
