“I hate being away from my fur-baby but I have such comfort knowing she is so well taken care of!!! She gets so much fun and attention during her stay. Buttercup loves going on doggy vacay!!!! So many adorable pictures and updates. Thanks!!!”


“We use Sarah exclusively now and Huck loves going to her house. This stay we had a medical emergency that prevented us from making drop off. Sarah drove out of her way to pick Huck up with it being her suggestion. This was such a huge help to us. We are so grateful and thankful that we found her!!”


“Diana was awesome and did so well with our Hank! We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for dog sitting services. She treated our dog like he was her own. We will definitely be booking with her in the future!”


“Lejune always treats our boy like he's her own. We never have any worries, and he loves playing with her son and their pupper. She's worth every penny. She noticed Rowan had itchy paws and got him some meds, played in the kiddy pool, and sent great updates and photos. We dont use anyone else.”


“Kristine and her family were wonderful with our two dogs! They treated them like their own and our dogs seemed so happy and comfortable in their home, with their kids and their dog. I loved getting updates/pics of them and communication was great. we will definitely book again!”


“Kayleigh was a Godsend to find!!! Our sweet fur baby Diesel needed somewhere to go during our trip to Tennessee. His normal sitter had to cancel at last minute and he hates staying at a kennel so we found Kayleigh and decided to give her a try! She was so kind and caring and made our boy feel so welcomed and loved! She sent me the cutest pictures of him while we were gone and made me feel calm and comfort with the choice of leaving him with her. We will definitely be using her again!!!”

“Rosa stepped in at the last minute to care for our pup when another Rover sitter had to cancel! Very easy to communicate with. She's a former dog breeder so very experienced with dogs. She took great care of our Aussie.”


“Emily is incredible! My dogs stayed with her for a full week and came home well cared for, loved, and happy. They exercised every day in a safe, wide-open yard, and she really went above and beyond when they refused to eat at first, giving them soft food and diligently encouraging them to make sure they were comfortable. I cannot thank you enough, Emily!!”


About: I grew up in a dog-loving home—there was never a time we didn’t have a furry friend in the family. Since my very first pet, I’ve enjoyed caring for animals. Now as an adult, I have two dogs and a cat of my own. One of my pups is a sweet senior who enjoys the slower pace of life, and the other is a high-energy guy I’ve raised since he was a puppy. We went through all the training together—lots of patience, consistency, and treats!—and now he’s a well-behaved, happy companion who keeps me on my toes. My cat is curious and full of personality, always finding new spots to nap and new ways to charm everyone. Fun Facts Just About Me: I moved to Hagerstown with my fiancé, 2 dogs and cat about 2 years ago. My fiancé and I are getting married in May 2026. I play adult softball and kickball. I love to be outside whether it's walking the dogs, attempting to garden or being on the water. Since I work from home, I’m lucky to spend lots of quality time with my pets throughout the day, and I’d love to extend that care and attention to your furry family members too. Whether it’s going for walks, sticking to a feeding routine, or just offering companionship, I’ll make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and right at home. When caring for pets, whether in my home or yours, safety and trust are my top priorities. In my home, I provide a calm, secure environment with a fully fenced yard that offers plenty of room for pets to run and play safely. We also have sidewalks throughout the neighborhood perfect for walks, a puppy play pen for supervised fun, and plenty of space to crate pets comfortably if needed. All areas are pet-proofed to prevent accidents, and I carefully manage food, toys, and any medications. When visiting a client’s home, I follow their routines closely to keep pets comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors and gates are secure, hazardous items are out of reach, and I maintain open communication with owners about any special needs or behaviors. Building trust with pets and their families is important to me, so I take time to understand each pet’s unique personality and needs.

“Kelli was highly recommended by a neighbor and we couldn’t be more pleased. She was so kind from the beginning and took such great care of Penny. She gave lots of updates through our vacation which made us enjoy it even more. Penny seemed to have a wonderful time! So happy we found Kelli for our vacations in future!”


“Susan and Robert are an amazing couple. They welcomed Sophia into their large animal family and treated her as Royalty! Daily, they sent pictures and comments regarding Sophia. Their house is pet friendly with a large area for dogs to roam around. This was our first time using "pet sitters" and we are delighted with the results. We highly recommend both Susan and Robert to watch your animals.”



“Beth and her family could not have been a better to our dog, Madge. Beth sent us an update every day so we could see what Madge was up to which was especially helpful for our son who was worried about his beloved dog. We are so thrilled to have found her and look forward to using her sitting services again!”


“Shaynna was awesome. She was willing to take Kelce on a last minute basis. She was also able to tell when Kelce was stressed and was able to give her the attention she needed. She gave updates and sent a picture. I will definitely book with Shaynna again when the time comes about.”


“Juliane was super sweet ! I felt 100% comfortable leaving my dog with her for the few nights I needed to. I asked to keep me updated with pictures and she did just that! Would 100% recommend and would book again if needed”



“Tori did a wonderful job with my two boys. She communicated with me during their stay and took great care of them. I would absolutely have them stay with her again.”


“Donna and Scott are AMAZING. We needed a last minute sitter and they welcomed our pup with open arms. Our dog is very nervous and barked when he arrived, but Donna and Scott knew exactly what to do to make him feel comfortable and at home. They sent multiple pictures of our dog at their house, and I had no doubt he was in the best hands. Thank you again for your flexibility, patience, and love for our dog!”
