“Mandi is friendly, dependable and will love your animals like they are her own. She was easy to speak with and even worked with us in regards to our multi-cat household. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone. 5-star service.”
“Gaye was a fantastic! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and took great care of my shy cat during my trip. Even though my cat tends to hide from visitors, Gaye was patient and really put in the effort to make her feel comfortable. It was reassuring to know my cat was being well cared for while I was away. I would definitely recommend Gaye and plan to hire her again for my next trip!”
“Robin took care of our cats and house while we were on a two-week vacation. She went above and beyond and then some to help us feel at ease while we were away. I especially appreciated her great communication before and during our trip. We always looked forward to the daily reports that included her write-ups and pictures of the cats. We would absolutely recommend Robin to anyone that needs pet-sitting, and if you don't have pets, we recommend you get pets so that you can have Robin take care of them.”
“I’ve never used Rover before and I was a little hesitant to leave my boy for a week but everything went really well! I got plenty of pictures everyday which made me feel better and when I got home he didn’t seemed stressed or like I was even gone for a week (that’s a cat though lol). I will definitely book Katherine again for any upcoming trips!”
“Sarah is wonderful with my two cats! I can see it after she sends me pictures of them. She plays with them, brushes them, and refreshes their water. She also has been a huge help while I have been in the hospital. You can trust that your pet is well cared for by Sarah.”
“Cari was amazing with our shy senior cat and giving her meds. Our other boy loved her and followed her around by the second day. Our pets were well cared for! We will definitely reach out to Cari if we have another trip!”
“This was our first time using Rover - Arnaldo was very easy to work with and took great care of our pets! We got photos of them and updates whenever something happened (you know how cats overeat & get sick…). We will definitely be contacting him again for future pet-sitting needs.”
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.

Whether we’re on a walk or just checking in, I’ve worked with harnesses and collars. My animals are my life and I 100% understand that they’re your’s too!
About: I grew up with dogs and have trained up two puppies in the last five years, one of them was a hunting dog. Currently I have a four-year-old tabby named Coco! I love to be active and play outside but I’m also happy to just sit and love on your fur babies, throw around toys or whatever makes your animals happy! I typically work Monday through Thursday until about 3 PM. I’m happy to do evening care if you’re working late or if you need someone for a long weekend to pop in! I am a big fan of the philosophy, meet people or in this case pets where they are.

About: I have had dogs all my life, from German Shepherds, Cocker Spaniels, and now Golden Retrievers. Nine years ago I decided to foster and do home visits for a rescue. I ensure they get vetted, groomed, and work with any behavior issues from being abused or neglected. I have plenty of patience and make sure above all else, they know they are safe and loved. That is all our fur babies want is to be safe, loved, and taken care of and the unconditional love you get in return is simply amazing. Let me take care of your fur baby and I know you will be glad you did. I’m retired now and just want to do what I love, taken care of fur babies. I can help you anytime, just let me know what you need. I have a fenced in yard, and two friendly Goldens at home that get along with everyone. I can crate your dog if needed or they can have run of the house with mine. We have plenty of toys from ones to chew on, to several to play ball or frisbee outside. It doesn’t matter the age of your pet, I have had and adopted several older dogs, I love them all and they will get the best care. I have farm land in front of me to take them for walks if you would like that as well. Your pets will be well taken care of and safe.
“Leah was a great cat-sitter! Very easy to work with, she made fast-friends with our cat, sent us reassuring updates each day, even a picture of his litter box (as only a pet owner would appreciate!) We felt very good being away while knowing that she was taking care of our little bundle of furry fun. I will definitely be using Leah again in the future! Thank you Leah!!!”

As far as grooming goes, I have experience clipping claws and brushing the dreaded double coats. What sets me a part from the average sitter is I’ll do my best to make sure your pet enjoys its time with me. I will do my best to learn their personalities, likes, and dislikes. I’m also able to provided any medications as needed! If you as owners are gone for an extend period of time it can be stressful for pets, I do my best to ease any potential stress they may have. I work as a Personal Trainer as well, so I availablity throughout the day based off my clients schedules. Especially during those early afternoon times when let’s haven’t been walked since morning.

Stephanie A.Star Sitter
“Stephanie checked on my cat Essie daily while I was out of town. She set up toys for Essie to play with between visits. Would definitely hire again.”
Kathleen W.
“Kat has always been a lover of animals. Our family fostered rescue dogs and she became a primary caretaker for these abused animals. She has a special cat who claimed her early and has bonded with her completely. When not busy with work or pet sitting she has volunteered at the animal shelters to spend time with animals awaiting their homes. She is responsible and on time and often does little extras such as sweeping or dishes.”
Jacob D.
“He sends me pictures of our fur babies when we were out of town for a wedding and gave us updates so there was no need to worry Even asked if he could stay longer with the dogs until they fell asleep so they didn’t worry or whine when he left ❤️ That’s true service!”
Katelyn O.
“While she hasn't watched my pets for me before I can say that she is beyond devoted to her own. All I ever hear about is how her pets are doing, how they're vet trip went, what she has to do next for their health, and what she wants to do next for they're wellbeing and enjoyment. If given the opportunity and materials she could and will care for any pet.”

“Tiffany was great with our 2 cats. She sent lots of pictures and gave me an update every day so we knew they were ok. I will definitely book Tiffany again.”
Taylor G.
“Taylor has been watching our high energy/anxiety Australian/German Shepherd dog mix for six years now! She does drop ins and has stayed in our home with our dog when we’re out of town. We trust her completely - she takes such good care of our fur baby that we call her his “Auntie Taylor.” Our baby is 70 lbs and he can be difficult to handle, but she reinforces his training, keeps him happy, and takes great care of our home too. Taylor has lots of experience with dogs and cats from raising her own and from training hunting dogs - if you need her to keep your dog sharp while you’re away, she’s great at it. Our fur baby LOVES Taylor and I know yours will too. I could not recommend her more!”
Carly R.
“Very friendly, punctual, and great with animals. Would hire Carly again.”
Ronda P.
“I have worked in rescue with a Ronda for 12 years. I could always count on her to do exactly what was expected as a volunteer and foster parent. She was responsible, caring, and loving. I knew when she agreed to take in a foster she would do whatever it took to do the best for the dog. She loved and cared for them as her own. I trusted her with countless dogs we took into the rescue and I would trust her with my own dogs. She is a gem and you would be lucky to have her as a part of your organization.”

Her warm personality and genuine love for pets create a comforting environment that helps even the most anxious animals feel at ease.
