“Charlie was wonderful as always. I never worry about my pup when she stays with him. Shes very much a baby, and im grateful he takes such good care of her! Whenever I say, do you want to go to Charlie's? She runs to the car. I feel relieved that she is so comfortable with him and that he takes such great care of her.”
“Sarah is awesome! She is very accommodating. My 14-year-old dog has arthritis and her home is one story and she has a nice fenced in yard which is perfect for him. We love her updates and photos sent as well reassuring us .We will be booking again for sure!”
“Payten was amazing. I will definitely be using her again. It was my baby's first time being with a sitter. He is very reserved and stubborn, but he really warmed up and trusted her. That right there shows me that she is a person to be trusted. She kept me updated regularly, even sending pictures. Thank you Payten!”
“Highly recommend!!!! We are repeat customers because our two labs love Joel and Janelle! They shower our dogs with extra love and attention. They give the dogs extra play time in their extra large fenced in yard. Joel and Janelle are so friendly and have great communication.”
“Floki seemed to have had a good time with Jesse. I like that she sent so many pictures and updates. I think that my dog was in a safe environment and cared for while I was away.”
“Briana and Jeremy were great as always. Penny and Dex felt right at home and had a staycation while we went to a wedding. Thanks you guys for taking such good care of our pups!”
“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”
“Lejune & her husband Michael were extremely friendly & welcoming. I was updated on my Benny’s routine and happenings throughout his stay, along with pictures. As we were leaving, Benny stuck to Lejune & didn’t seem to want to leave! I can tell he was so loved & well taken care of during his overnight stay. Highly recommend & will definitely be using Lejune again!”
“Michelle is the friendliest and most accommodating dog sitter we’ve ever had. We appreciate her for taking good care of Max. We highly recommend and would avail her service in the future”
“We love Catherine and her family. More importantly, our dog does too! He’s always excited to see his “other family” and loves to go on new adventures with them. We love the communication and photos, and we can always tell that Harry is well cared for and feels right at home!”
“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”
“Megan took such great care of our dog! She kept us updated with photos throughout our stay and we could see how happy our pup was. Her kids were also so incredibly sweet and gentle with her! Definitely recommend and will absolutely be rebooking when we’re in need of a sitter in this area!”
“Leo loved his time with Emily! He loved exploring her property and obviously felt comfortable with her based on his behavior when dropping him off and picking him up 🙂”
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
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 a dog and a cat of my own. My pup is a high-energy guy that 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 husband, 2 dogs and cat a few years ago. My husband and I recently got 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.
“I have an older min pin that hasn’t ever been away from me with someone she hasn’t known before. When I brought her over for a visit before the booking, I knew immediately my baby was going to be taken care of and would be safe. I got a bunch of pictures and videos of my baby girl and I could tell she was being taken care of as if it were me. I would recommend Min & Matt to family and friends, which says a ton about the way they took care of her.”
“We couldn't be any happier with the care Juicy received from Charity. She was incredibly sweet, kind, and responsive, making us feel at ease leaving our furchild in her hands as we traveled. Juicy was treated like one of her own, and we appreciated how accommodating she was throughout the entire process. The pictures and videos were also a nice touch. Five stars without a doubt!”
“Rocky was terrific watching our sweet Zoe! Taking her on walks, the beach and even inviting her to watch a playoff football game with him (she is an Eagles fan). We could tell by the pictures and video he shared that we were not missed. We truly appreciate his kindness and care. He is Highly Recommended! From Zoe: “Thank you, Rocky, for taking such good care of me!” Steve & Teena.”

“Corrinna was watching our four babies for the first time and she went above and beyond what we expected to keep them safe and happy! We have four cats and three of them prefer to be outside as they came to us as strays. Since it was so cold the week we were away she tried her best to keep them in, even going out another door to close the door that has a cat door in it.. lol I thought that was a great idea. She worried and took care of them like her own including lots of pics to ease our mind. We will definitely be asking Corrinna again to watch the kids!”
About: My specialty is puppies - after raising a few and spending a year with a daycare client, I enjoy the energy of young pups and helping them gain structure and socialization. Over the past few years I’ve had the pleasure to take care of pups of all breeds — from chihuahuas to Great Pyrenees. I understand that every dog has individual needs that may not be provided at a typical kennel and seek to provide comfort, fun, and safety for your pet while you are away. Our two resident dogs are very friendly but of vastly different energy levels, so we have a playmate for the older or calmer dogs as well as those who are constantly on the go (and need a friend who can match their energy level). Dogs are up to date on all shots and we ask that yours has an updated rabies and bordetella vaccine — exceptions, of course, if they are too young to receive them, as we’ve had puppies as young as 10 weeks stay with us. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at any time. At this time, I am only accepting dogs under 75 pounds. Dogs must be OK with people for everyone’s safety. I work from home as a graduate assistant part time and online, which means that my schedule is always open, and the dogs will always have someone around. I have a large yard with multiple leash runners for your pets enjoyment and safety. I offer flexible care methods depending on your pet’s individual needs. Active, hands-on dogs will have their chance to explore, and quiet or older dogs will have all the pampering and relaxation they’d like.
“I cannot recommend Angela highly enough. I feel truly comfortable while traveling, knowing that she's taking exquisite care of my little ones. Your babies are safe with her.”
“Amber was incredible with my cat, Gus! She stayed with him while I was gone for a few days and sent me pictures every day! I would 100% have her stay with him again, in fact, I even referred her to my family. So that should tell you something!!”
“Michael was great with my cat and dog. My dog had separation anxiety issues and let me know whenever she did do a little damage and gave her a walk to help her. He was very attentive with their needs. I would use him again!”
About: I’ve been around cats for most of my life and currently care for my own at home, Winnie. I’m comfortable handling cats of different levels and always make sure they get plenty of attention, love, and care. I’m dependable, patient, and will treat every kitty as if they were my own!
About: I’m new to Rover, but I’ve cared for cats for years! I have two cats of my own and foster cats through local rescues. If your cat prefers a quiet space, I can provide a private room just for them with everything they need to feel safe and comfortable. Whether your cat is playful, shy, or somewhere in between, I’ll provide personalized care, lots of love, and updates while you’re away. I can’t wait to meet your family member! 🐾
About: I've been taking care of indoor cats since I was 20, but I've always loved them. I used to feed the strays growing up. My first cat had a single litter of kittens before being spayed so I have experience with raising kittens as well. I currently have 3 indoor cats I care for. Two short-haired and one long-haired. I would certainly appreciate the opportunity to have more cats to love in my life!
“Lauren took such good care of our two cats Misty & Cleo, while we were gone for a month! They were happy and healthy when we returned from our trip. She was always on time for our twice daily visits, and we appreciate the daily updates. We have already booked her for our upcoming summer trips!”
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!
About: I have had animals throughout my whole life. The animal I’ve had with me the longest is my 16 year old chihuahua. I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I grew up with him and I take really good care of him. He’s very healthy and also very spoiled. As of right now I’m only doing the dog walking service and the dog and cat drop ins. I am available anytime as of right now. I will give them lots of attention and love. If they have certain times they eat at I will feed them at those times. Whenever they need to go potty I will let them out if there is a fenced yard or I will walk them if there is not a fenced yard.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Clear Spring
“This is the 2nd dog we entrusted Charlie with and she had a great time. She loves running and playing in the big yard with the other dogs. We will definitely be using Charlie again.”
“We took Finn over to Arlene’s for the first time yesterday to spend the day (after our meet and greet a couple of weeks prior). We picked him up from Arlene and she told me that I t took a little time (an hour) to get him to settle down, but after that he had a full day of play with the other 2 dogs that were there. From looking at the photos, I could tell Finn had the most enjoyable day! (He’s an only dog.) We plan on going out of town and I’m so happy to find someone that we feel comfortable leaving him with. Anyone that is interested in finding a great dog person Arlene is the one! She took several photos and I could tell Finn was in his happy place. ❤️”
“Lejune and Michael were beyond awesome! This was my first leaving my doggie with someone other than family, and it was the best experience. I loved getting pictures of my fur baby. I would def recommend booking with them!”
About: I am currently doing Rover part-time, I’m also working 2 other part-time jobs, however, for one of them I get to choose my own schedule. If given enough notice (usually a week) I can take off the days you’d need from one of my jobs, and then just schedule my other around it! I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and caring for them! Ive taken 2 pre-vet classes and would love to have a job working with animals full-time, no matter the job! As of now, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I only work Thurs-Sun, never more than 8 hours + my other job I can pick my own schedule! I am free all other weekdays to be able to take care of your pets! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I prefer having the option to crate in case I need to go out for a bit, but I have taken care of pets who didn’t need one! Your pets are treated as my own when they are here, we take long walks around my apartment complex, I have treats for both cats and dogs, and many toys! Let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions so they can be as healthy and happy as possible
About: I've had pets (cats, dogs and bunnies) for as long as I can remember. (40 + years) I have taken care of peoples animals many times throughout my life. I'm known for being an animal lover and have been told that I have a way with them. Even when other people's pets have been afraid of other people their pets have felt comfortable with me. I work from home, and am there most of the time. Our little toy poodle that we've had for 12 years just passed away and we slept with her, held her as we were doing school/ work and took her everywhere with us. So I'm very happy and comfortable having fur babies by my side throughout the day and being with me whatever I am doing. We have a five unfenced acre farm with a horse and a sheep. We don't live on a main road. I'm fine with your pets being out of a crate.
“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”
About: My family and I absolutely love dogs we lost ours recently and I am not ready to get another one but would love to care for yours like he/she was our own. I have 3 very energetic kiddos that would love to play with and give lots of love and cuddles to your fur baby. I am a stay at home mom, we have no other animals of any kind so your fur baby will have all the attention when they stay with us. Please be understanding that no pets in the bed, its a very full bed already with 3 kids under 6.

I have established and maintained many personal aquarium & terrariums of my own, as well as for family & friends. I have my weekends open for time to spend and company to give for a sweet pet in need of some special attention while their owners take care of some things. I work full time at a veterinary referral hospital and am available Saturday-Sunday (all day), and currently Monday & Tuesday Evenings. I live with a senior dog, and 2 cats. They are all spayed/neutered, nails trimmed, and fully vaccinated.

“If I could give 10 stars, I would. Heidi made Louie part of her family while he was there. She sent me pictures and videos all day of him being loved and spoiled. Fantastic communication and care.”
About: Our home is a relaxed environment with plenty of room to wonder around and get sun light. We take 3 walks a day and run into plenty of other animals around the neighborhood and at the park. I and my wife work from home so there is always someone around! We take our dog for multiple walks a day & enjoy the playground so she can hang out with other dogs! Working from home makes things a breeze when taking care of pets! There are no issues with play time or even personal time. We adapt easily!

About: I’ve had years of experience caring for my own dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I’m comfortable handling high energy dogs, including strong pullers, while staying patient and confident with larger breeds. I also have experience giving medications, including injections, and always prioritize your pet’s safety, comfort, and routine. I’m currently working from home so my daily schedule is very flexible. I may need to take calls and meetings during random times of the day, but this does not effect my work office environment or pet needs. I have a fenced in yard at my home, including private spaces inside for calming time, private eating area, or one on one attention with your pet. I can provide neighborhood walks multiple times a day. I own two dogs and two cats. My dogs are experienced in meeting and sharing a space with other animals. They are up to date on their vaccines and flea and tick prevention. My cats are used to other dogs as well. I offer private space with me in my office during the work day if you would prefer your dog to not be around other pets. I can also arrange private yard time with no interactions with my pets outside as well.
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!

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!!

“Daniel is very reliable, professional, and all around a pleasant individual! Communication is always easy with him and he’s great with handling my giant English Mastiff. We’re so grateful for Daniel and highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!”
“Buddy, absolutely loves walking with Corrinna. He’s always so excited to see her and go on walks. She goes above and beyond to make sure he’s happy and enjoying his walk. I don’t know what I would do without her.”
“As a federal employee, I recently started going back into the office every day, a big transition from my previous one day/week schedule. One of the stressors was finding quick help so my dog wouldn't be stuck inside for the extremely long days - Kayda to the rescue! Kayda has been reliable, flexible, and very kind; she stops by to take my little old guy for an afternoon walk. I appreciate her help so much and would definitely recommend her!”

About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.
“Amazing person! Gave multiple picture updates and told us everything she did with our dogs! Came over to meet the dogs to see if she would be a match, listened to everything we needed to say about them! We have a huge yard that they can play in but she still took them on walks in our neighborhood!!! Taught the dogs some new tricks and gave them so much love when we were at work!! Highly recommend Shannon! You will not be disappointed and your dogs will love her just like ours do!!”
About: I have had the honor of having dogs my entire life. Recently, helped my daughter potty training her rescue puppies. They have become the protectors of my grandchildren. As an Empty Nester, I enjoy the simple things in life and would love to offer my services for walks during the early mornings and evenings. Additionally, if you need overnight care, I can provide that service in your home upon request. Currently, I do not have pets in my home, as I do not have a fenced yard that would allow them to safely play and enjoy outdoor activities.
About: Hello! My name is Autumn. Over my life, I have owned and cared for 13 dogs, along with a collection of reptiles, rodents, etc. I currently have a dog and a cat. They are the loves of my life. I also completed my internship at an animal shelter, giving me experience with hundreds of animals. I love animals of all sizes and temperaments, and I have experience working with a wide array of animals. I would love the opportunity to work with your pets! My life revolves around pet care. I have animals with very specific care needs, so I am used to matching my lifestyle with what my pets need. My dog is currently walked 4-5 times a day, with 2 or 3 play sessions interspersed throughout the day. We take him to the park every Saturday and his nails are trimmed every other Sunday. My cat gets 2 or 3 15 minute play sessions during the day, and her litter box is scooped nightly. She is given dry food in the morning and wet food in the evening. The care provided for my clients will revolve around what the client wants and the specific needs of the individuals. Every animal is different, and I strive to provide the care that is requested.
“I messaged Jaden and she was able to come that same evening for a meet and great, and start walks as early as the next day. I highly recommend her! Jaden has been walking my puppy Toby for 3 weeks now. On time, great communication, super flexible and has great availability. Will continue to work with Jaden moving forward.”
About: I have had animals throughout my whole life. The animal I’ve had with me the longest is my 16 year old chihuahua. I’ve had him since I was 5 years old. I grew up with him and I take really good care of him. He’s very healthy and also very spoiled. As of right now I’m only doing the dog walking service and the dog and cat drop ins. I am available anytime as of right now. I will give them lots of attention and love. If they have certain times they eat at I will feed them at those times. Whenever they need to go potty I will let them out if there is a fenced yard or I will walk them if there is not a fenced yard.
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!
About: I have grown up with pets of all kinds my whole life. I have owned dogs, cats, small reptiles, rabbits, fish. I have over 25 years of Petcare/animal experience. I have professionally cared for animals for 15 years. I have worked in Petcare in a pet store caring for the in-store animals: fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, pockets pets, insects. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have worked my adult career in a primary veterinary clinic, and a specialty veterinary referral hospital. I have lots of experience with cats and dogs. I have pet sat for many friends and family. I have personally rescued several senior pets- cats and dogs, and I am very comfortable with medication administration, physical ambulatory assistance, and incontinence support. I have established and maintained many personal aquarium & terrariums of my own, as well as for family & friends. I have my weekends open for time to spend and company to give for a sweet pet in need of some special attention while their owners take care of some things. I work full time at a veterinary referral hospital and am available Saturday-Sunday (all day), and currently Monday & Tuesday Evenings. I live with a senior dog, and 2 cats. They are all spayed/neutered, nails trimmed, and fully vaccinated. My cats keep to themselves, and my senior Cavvie, Frannie LOVES the company of other dogs!!❤️ I have a fenced in back yard, and I am only a minute walk away from a big community park.
About: Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. My name is Aly, and I absolutely love animals. Every animal has its own unique personality, which makes spending time with them so rewarding and fun. Pet care has given me the opportunity to earn extra income, meet wonderful people, and spend time with some truly amazing animals. Along the way, I’ve also learned so many interesting things I never would’ve thought to look up myself in conversations with new people. I have roughly 15 years of professional pet-sitting experience, along with a lifetime of caring for family pets. I’m experienced with: • Dogs (puppies to seniors) • Cats (kittens to seniors) • Chickens & roosters • Pigs (farm pigs & mini pigs) • Fish (bettas, goldfish, koi, and tropical fish) • Horses • Chinchillas • Guinea pigs & hamsters • Rabbits • Turtles • Ferrets • Hedgehogs • Corn snakes • Reptiles, geckos, & lizards I’m always happy to learn and add more furry, feathered, or scaled friends to that list. Thank you for considering me to care for your pets! Monday through Friday, I work a 6-8-hour shift, but I schedule pet sitting and house sitting around my work hours & leave to ensure pets still receive plenty of care and attention. My greatest availability for full- time in house is: • Weekends & holidays • Monday–Friday: Midnight- 6:00 AM and 4:00 PM–Midnight. I will always do my best to accommodate each pet’s routine and needs while providing reliable, attentive care. I have a checklist that I review with pet owners to ensure we cover everything as thoroughly as possible. This includes bathroom schedules, allergies, medications, the type of fencing or yard setup they have, whether pets are allowed on furniture, and if they are sensitive to thunder or loud noises (primarily so I can monitor them closely during storms or fireworks). I also ask about grooming needs, any injuries or hotspots to watch for, veterinary contact information, and the nearest emergency vet in your area. While I’ve never had to take a pet I was caring for to an emergency vet, I believe it’s important to have that information readily available in case treatment ever becomes necessary. We’ll also discuss any limitations they may have, as well as whether they’re allowed to go on rides, walks, swimming outings, or even enjoy the occasional pup cup 🩶 I also like to review each pet’s daily routine and preferences with owners to help keep their care as consistent and comfortable as possible while you’re away. I’ll ask about feeding schedules, potty breaks, medications, sleeping arrangements, favorite activities, and any behaviors or sensitivities I should be aware of. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, loved, and stress-free in my care while giving owners peace of mind knowing their pets are being treated like family.
About: Full disclosure I have not been paid to care for dogs yet however i did raise a puppy from a couple months to a year and worked on training. Ive also grown up with and cared for all types of dogs and dog sizes. I have cared for senior dogs as well. Bathing, walking, clipping nails, giving medication, feeding, basic training etc are all things I have experience with. I am currently waiting on a review for school, as of right now i am free any day of the week. After I start school it will only take up 4 days of the weekday and be mornings/early afternoons where i am not available. In the clients home, i will adhere to the needs/wants of care to a T such as what times to walk/play with your pets, feeding times, bathing, cleaning up as soon as possible if a mess is made, sending pictures of your pets to reassure or just because, etc. I will care for your pet as if my own, and respect any and all boundaries made.
About: I LOVE DOGS!! What more can I say? I have had dogs in my family, of my own and taken care of family dogs practically since I was born. I've been around dogs of all shapes and sizes and love all of them, no matter what! I have had experience with special diets, dog walking and even diabetic dogs (using diabetic test strips and glucometer). Sometimes I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer: I can get along with all dogs and read what they need or want. I'm also great at helping dogs to heal or get over their fears! I especially love giving and receiving loves (hugs, kisses and lots of cuddles and petting)! Give me your doggie babies! :D I would love to take care of them!

“Our 1.5yr old puppy, Birdie, was in the very best hands with Melissa during a recent boarding! Melissa is thorough in her intake, noting Birdie's food allergies and current schedule, and is warm and gentle in helping pups acclimate to a new environment. Melissa maintained Birdie's schedule, giving her plenty of outdoor and play time, and administered Birdie's medication, giving us peace of mind to focus on family. We enjoyed the handful of photos Melissa sent along the way and always appreciate her responsive communication. Melissa is deeply professional and the most thorough and warm caretaker and our expectations are always surpassed when Birdie is with Melissa!”

“We can’t say enough amazing things about Renee, she was truly our angel during a very stressful moment while we were on vacation in Florida. The place where our dog was staying unexpectedly call us and rudely demanded that we pick up our dog immediately. Being out there of state with no one nearby to help, we were completely panicked and heartbroken. My husband remember about Rover and he find Renee, she responded very quickly asking the situation and accept our booking. Without hesitation, she stepped in and went out of her way to pick up our dog for us. She was incredibly sweet, caring, and compassionate, exactly what we needed in that moment. She treated our puppy with so much love and care, like he was her own, and kept us updated and send us pictures of him smiling and acting like he is at home. We are beyond grateful for her kindness and will never forget what she did for us. Thank you, dear Renee, you are truly one of a kind!❤️🐾”

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 a dog and a cat of my own. My pup is a high-energy guy that 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 husband, 2 dogs and cat a few years ago. My husband and I recently got 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.
“Rocky was terrific watching our sweet Zoe! Taking her on walks, the beach and even inviting her to watch a playoff football game with him (she is an Eagles fan). We could tell by the pictures and video he shared that we were not missed. We truly appreciate his kindness and care. He is Highly Recommended! From Zoe: “Thank you, Rocky, for taking such good care of me!” Steve & Teena.”
“Satsuki was great! She asked all the relevant/pertinent questions before our dog’s stay, kept our dog entertained, happy, and safe during his stay, and kept us updated on how he was doing! We would definitely recommend Satsuki!!”

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.
