“Tiffany did a wonderful job caring for our two dogs and cat while we were out of town. She took lots of great photos which was awesome, and provided an appropriate amount of updates allowing us to enjoy our time away without worry. She obviously loves animals very much and was communicative and professional!”
About: I took care of my shih tzu for 12 years, he recently passed of old age. I had dogs growing up but Oreo was the first that really attached to me. He whined if he couldn't get into the bathroom with me. He slept in my bed with me until he got too old to be that high up without supervision. I gave him embarassing mom haircuts for 10 years because I knew he hated the entire experience of going to the groomers and I wanted to spare him the discomfort. I was always looking for ways to make that dog more comfortable. I have experience in caring for senior dogs, so you can rest assured I will do everything I can for your senior furbabies' comfort. I'm currently working part-time weekdays caring for children but my weekends are open for watching your fur babies!! I usually wake up around 10-11am so I can be available any time after that Friday-Sunday! I always check the water after being gone to make sure there's still enough in there and that it's clean, and feed the cats 3 times a day when possible. Some days just twice usually when I have work. I am happy to follow whatever feeding schedule you have for your fur babies! I also try to brush the cats once a day to cut down on shedding. If you have brushes I am happy to give your pets all the brushin's! We also play with chew toys, cat wands, laser pointers, and socks! Whatever toys you have I'm sure we will have a blast!
“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
About: I never had a dog of my own growing up, but I always had a blast watching animals for my family and friends! Taking dogs on walks and simply playing with them is so much fun. I love to be able to bond with pets and really get to know them. I’m not a professional dog trainer, however I’ve attempted to crate train and teach other simple tricks to dogs and was successful. I have experience with senior dogs as well as high energy puppies. I am able to adapt to any dogs personality to ensure they have a great time while their owner is away! Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I am currently available full time, Monday-Sunday. I make sure to set aside time for walks, feeding, and playtime with the pets I care for. I also ensure they have regular check-ins and any necessary medication or grooming is done on time. I prioritize their needs around my other commitments, and I’m always flexible to adjust my schedule to accommodate their care. I am not currently able to have pets in my home, however I can travel to your home if dog sitting or an overnight stay is needed!

“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: I have over 25 years of dog breeding experience and I would love to care for your loved ones in our home. Large home and plenty of running room in our spacious yard. I cannot take care of male dogs over 30 lbs due to a female dog in the household. I can take care of female fur babies of less than 30 lbs. I work from home and have plenty of time to give your fur baby the attention he or she needs. Taking care of dogs are my specialty. I have a fenced in yard and a female lab who loves to go for walks and play. Your fur baby will have plenty of friends caring for him or her.
About: There's nothing more frustrating than having to board your dog when away from your house. I have a part time job, so your pup wont be alone for long. I know how hard it is thinking about when someone will be there... No worries. I'll be there. I'll make sure doors are shut and your pets are secured before I leave. I'll even feed your other animals. All I need is instruction! :)
“Tiffany was fantastic! She made two visits to see Otto on Saturday, and left me detailed notes each time. She spent lots of time with him, played with him, fed him, and took him for walks. She was loving and caring, and I know he enjoyed the time she spent with him. I look forward to Tiffany visiting again!”

Jennifer was absolutely amazing with Cathy! She was incredibly kind, had excellent communication, and was always willing to help with anything. From the moment I met her, I felt completely comfortable and confident leaving Cathy in her care. She treated her with so much love and attention, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend her services!
Emily was fantastic. She was timely and communicated everything. She went above and beyond in caring for my dog Nala while I was away via Drop-Ins. Thank you so much Emily for giving me invaluable peace of mind while I was away! Would book again and again :)
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.

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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 .

All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
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.

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.
