“Lejune was very flexible and went out of her way to help make Oliver’s stay possible. Oliver was well taken care of and Lejune was very intentional in sending me updates of him playing and enjoying her family. We were very pleased with our experience!”


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.

“Donna and Scott were amazing watching by our sweet Emma! Updates and pictures were sent constantly which we loved to see and made us feel at ease! I can tell they loved our girl like their own. Definitely recommend ?”


“Kayleigh provided me with wonderful updates throughout my pup’s stay with her. He seemed to have a really great time and was not eager to leave! Will for sure rebook in the future!”


“Rachel and her family are so loving and warm bunch. They were absolutely wonderful with our golden Kobe. She was great about communicating when needed and sent us pics daily. He had a blast with Rachel’s kids and she even took Kobe on walks which was so important to us. Thank you Rachel!”


“Bristoe had a ball! Thank you for having him! I loved the texts throughout my stay away from my boy. Theresa was very accommodating and easy to work with. Thanks again!! We look forward to future stays.”


“Can't say enough of great things about Holly and how well she took care of our Bernese Mountain Dog-Moose. She sent tons of pictures and kept us updated on how he was doing. It was our first time using Rover and Moose has never stayed with another family-only boarding places; so we all were a little nervous. However, Moose didn't miss a step while staying with Holly and her family. Will definitely use Holly when we go out of town again.”


“Camilla is very kind and I could tell she really cared about Winston. She was very accommodating and agreed to extend his original stay. We will definitely ask her to watch Winston the next time we go away.”


“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.”



“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!”


About: I grew up with two small dogs - Sam (Japanese Chin-Poodle Mix) and Liz (Shih-Tzu). Currently, I own two mixed-breed dogs with my husband in Newburg, PA. During high school and college, I dog-sat for family, friends and neighbors. I mainly have experience with small to medium-sized dogs; however, I’ve been recently volunteering at Cumberland Valley Animal Shelter to help me gain more experience with larger breeds. I also have experience with the following: puppy training, older dogs with special needs, and caring for dogs who are in post-surgery recovery/rehabilitation. I also possess general grooming skills which includes bathing, brushing, nail trimming, ear cleaning, and basic body grooming with clippers. I work full-time in Shippensburg from 8AM-5PM Monday through Friday. I’m available for drop-in visits and dog walking in the evenings after 5:30 Monday through Friday. I’m available for boarding, day care, dog-walks and drop-in visits on the weekends. Boarding would start 5:30 on Friday and all dogs would need to be picked up by 5:30 on Sunday at the latest. One day boarding is also available (Friday into Saturday). Your dog’s safety and comfortability are very important to us. Our home is a one-story rancher with a fenced-in backyard. There is plenty of space for your dog to explore and get their zoomies out! We ensure there are slow, positive, leash-controlled introductions with our dogs and any other dogs in our care in order for the new dog to feel comfortable and accepted. All dogs are under supervised play and given access to appropriately-sized toys and treats for their breed. Feedings are given in a separate room away from our dogs. We use baby gates and shut doors to keep dogs within a limited, supervised area. At night, dogs are allowed to sleep in bed with us, on the floor in their own bed or in a crate that can be set up in our room. Walks are done around our quiet neighborhood or at the Hopewell Township Park which is a 5 minute walk from our home. Proper harness setup and leash attachment will be checked prior to going on the walk to ensure their safety. For pick-up or drop-off car rides, we provide a dog hammock in the backseat of our Toyota RAV4 and attach the dog’s harness to a seatbelt. If your dog has their own car seat, we can certainly use it, as long as they’re able to be buckled in. Your contact information and vet information will be readily available in case of emergency.

About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I have raised and trained two service dogs. We now have a rescue and have gained experience with skittish, anxious dogs. I work full time as an occupational therapist. I am available most weekends for sitting in my home. I also occasionally work weekends and then have days off during the week, so I would be available for limited daytime sitting. I have two friendly labs that are well socialized and love play dates! I would treat your dog as my own. I will follow all instructions to ensure I am meeting your dogs needs.

“Kolby was a fantastic choice for a dog sitter. We had a last minute need for a dog sitter and I am so glad we found Kolby. She absolutely loves animals and it shows! She was so sweet with our King. She kept him active and integrated him with her own sweet dog perfectly. She kept us informed and sent us several pictures throughout his stay (without being asked) and would’ve sent as many as we would’ve requested. We will definitely use Kolby again. She is a responsible, loving sitter and I highly recommend her!”
