I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!”

That right there shows me that she is a person to be trusted. She kept me updated regularly, even sending pictures. Thank you Payten!”

“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!”
“Ellen was amazing! She sent me daily updates with pictures and videos, which I really appreciated. Pearl was clearly happy and comfortable; she absolutely loved being on the farm, seeing the other animals, and making new friends. I’ll definitely be booking with Ellen again!”
“Arlene was everything a petsitter should be…reliant, kind, level-headed and doting. We were visiting New Bern on our boat and had an unexpected trip to take. Knowing nobody in town, we turned to Rover (first-time users) and found Arlene. She was great! Sent photos and an update daily, and was flexible when we had to add an extra day to our trip.”
“My pups had a great time with Adrienne, who accommodated us last minute. Our pups are high anxiety and they settled in quickly and happily for a couple of nights at her place. She’s great about providing the amount of updates you feel comfortable with, and was thoughtful with how she prepared for their stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“Jaclyn had all of her ducks in a row. My first time sitting with her and she answered all of my questions and asked really good questions of her own. I was comfortable that she has planned how to safely and comfortably keep new dogs at her house. Even if they’re of the nervous type like mine. She also kept me updated daily with messages and photos which we really appreciated. Thank you, Jaclyn, for taking such great care of Bini.”
“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!”
“Mandie was wonderful and helped us with a six day stay with very short notice. Communication was perfect with quick responses and frequent updates with pictures. We definitely recommend Mandie and will surely be back!”
“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!”
“My dog had a great time boarding with Satsuki! It was one of my longer trips so I was worried but all those worries went away quickly. Satsuki took great care of my dog and gave me regular updates including pictures - which I love! Would definitely rebook again”
“Tina was amazing with taking care of our dog Kiwi. Kiwi felt right at home with her and her Husband. I definitely recommend letting your furry family member to stay with them.”

“JT and Janelle took the cutest pictures of my 2 dogs! I felt so much peace knowing they were in safe and secure hands with years of professional dog expertise to keep them happy and healthy. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Ashley! He has some anxiety and hates to be left alone, but Ashley gave him the love and attention he needed to feel at ease. She allowed us to bring him over prior to his stay to get a little more comfortable and she always had great communication, sending plenty of pictures while we were gone! Definitely recommend and will use again!”

Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Juan took great care of my pups while we were away for a few days — I received frequent photo updates, he took them on long walks, let them run freely at the dog park, and provided a comfy dog bed for their stay. I’m pretty sure my goldendoodle was disappointed to leave Juan and come back home, lol. When I picked them up they were the most calm, well-rested, and not dehydrated — it’s usually the opposite when I’ve picked them up from boarding or a sitter in the past. I’ll definitely book with Juan again in the future!”

“Deann was wonderful to check on our kitties for a weekend trip. We extended our stay away and she was accommodating and willing to cover down the extra time! We so greatly appreciated not having to rush home. She communicated frequently and even had interactions with our shyest cat that I assumed would hide the whole time. We look forward to having her in our home again to care for our brood.”
“It’s always nice when you can go on a vacation and not worry about your pets! From the moment I met Charlotte B. I knew I would not be worrying about my cats, any of them. I have indoor and a few outdoor strays/feral. Charlotte sent tons of pictures and updates everyday. She’s reliable, consistent, and kind. She also went above and beyond by bringing in my mail and watering my outdoor plants. I will definitely be rebooking with Charlotte B.”
“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!!”
“Alexandria took very good care of my 2 kitties while I was away recently. She asked questions, made notes and sent daily "report cards" with updates on her daily visits with the kitties. I would consider using her services again. Jagger and Jewels Mom”
“She was wonderful with my kitties, especially the two who are a lot more shy and prone to hiding. She was consistent, responsive and really seems to enjoy spending time with my kitties.”

Grounded, Caring Energy: Attentive company for friendly dogs and a gentle, quiet presence for cats. I’d love to schedule a meet-and-greet to see if we’re a great match!

About: I have experience with potty training all my puppies since I remember. I am a dog lover but I also love and care for all animals in general.

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 prioritize their needs around my other commitments, and I’m always flexible to adjust my schedule to accommodate their care.

“I would highly recommend Lejune for your pet sitting needs. She communicates well, sends lots of pictures and videos, and from the first interaction, I could tell that Bella would be in good hands. I will be continuing services with her indefinitely.”
“Charlie has been great with Sami! He sends photos and videos to calm any concerns I might have about leaving my sweet pup in daycare. I am confident Sami is in good hands when she visits Charlie and his family. Thanks for taking great care of my Sami!”
“Nadia took the time to get to know me and Walter's needs, before just accepting any offer! I was greeted with smiling faces (her and her 3 kids), and right away Walter was home away from hom! During his time there he also became besties with their family dog and really enjoyed how much attention they gave him. He came back to me completely pooped and I appreciate Nadia's attentiveness to Walter !”
“Tux has always been anxious when left behind, but did very well with Emily all day. She was very attentive to his needs and he got along well with her other daycare pup. She sent numerous pictures and answered my texts right away when I checked in on him. She asked permission to take him on a short ride in her car, which I granted since he loves car rides and hates being left behind. I will definitely book with her again. Thanks, Emily, for taking such great care of our boy.”
“Mandi was an absolute lifesaver for our last-minute request! She took wonderful care of both of our furry babies and gave us such peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her flexibility and excellent care. We’ll definitely be back!”
“She was very attentive to our pup and sent us lots of pictures and videos. It made us feel like he was right at home and allowed us to enjoy our time away without worries. So grateful!”

“We are new with Renee, Kuro has been consistently going in for day care for the past 3 weeks and I must say he has a blast. He is happy to go there, gets to play with other pups. Renee is patient and very attentive. She accommodates requests and also goes that extra mile to care for our pup. Thank you Renee.”
“Ellen is great! She has a big heart and is an animal person through and through. We started out with a few boarding visits and now go to Ellen for day care every week. She’s very easy to work with and has a great location for dogs to run around/play/hike. Thanks Ellen!”
“Josie had another great day playing and exploring! I really love the setup here! The dogscaping is very nice and it gives her lots of stimulation we don’t have at home. I’m always happy to see her running around with the other dogs and can tell she is having so much fun. Sandra is so patient and always gives me helpful advice on how to take care of Josie. I really appreciate her feedback since Josie is my first puppy!”
“Leah helped me feel calmer about leaving my new puppy with her during the days I have to be at work. Jasper was relaxed when I came to pick him up and excited to see her son, whose been helping with care, when I dropped him off today.”
About: I’ve had pets since I was a kid. I love animals, as they are the most loving and authentic little beings. I’ve always had dogs and have taken care of family/friends/neighbors’ dogs when needed. I offer boarding, walks, a fenced in yard and socialization with my children and my own pets. Your pup will be in good hands and loved! My household always has an adult home for walks or ability to go out in the yard at anytime. We pop in and out on sports practice days in the evenings and for games on the weekends. Never more than 2 hours at a time. I have a large fenced in yard, can crate your pup and can offer walks, the ability to sit or lay on furniture, socialization for my kids, and socialization for my dog and other pets
“Extremely happy with Tavin as Max’s puppycarer. He Had such a good time and it’s a shame we left the area otherwise we would use her on a regular basis. Very kind and friendly carer. Max was asleep minutes after getting in the car.”
“Chloe is amazing with our 3 month old puppy. She and Seth are loving and incredibly accommodating- I feel completely comfortable leaving my boy with them and will be using their services in the future!!”
About: I've been taking care of pets for about 6 years now, including my own dogs, cat, and horses! I have experience working at a horse stable for several years and farm-sitting, so I'm used to being very hands-on and involved when caring for animals. I'm currently taking classes online, so my schedule is flexible and I have plenty of time to dedicate to your pet. I'm looking forward to some study breaks together with a new doggy friend! I supervise pets carefully and stay attentive to their needs, whether they're at home or visiting somewhere new. At my home, I have two dogs ready to make a new friend, lawns and a field perfect for leashed walks, and a cottage separate from the main house (and my dogs) for some quiet time.

“Veronica is extremely trustworthy and kind. She has been walking my two dogs for a month and really goes the extra mile to make sure they get out and exercised. When she comes I know my dogs are in good hands (I personally think they are happier to see her than me)! I highly recommend her and will continue to request her services!”

About: I've always been around animals. Whether it was family pets or animals I showed in FFA, I've always had animals near and dear to my heart. Currently I'm working part time and have lots of time to devote to your fur babies. I'm available for house sitting, drop in visits, or dog walking (they can help me get my 10,000 steps in) I understand all things routine involving fur babies, I can walk them when needed, play and take care of them so you have peace of mind while you're out.
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!
“Hania does an excellent job with my Malory. Would highly recommend others use her services. She takes beautiful pictures of my pet while I am away and also makes sure her food and water are topped off. Our cat has also grown fond of her.”

About: I'm Hannah! I have two boys, ages 3 and 7. My kids are great with dogs as we have been doing Rover for over 6 years. We are dog lovers and we would love to have your doggy in our home while you are away! I can offer as much or as little outside time that’s needed. Your baby will be in great hands while you’re away and you won’t miss a beat with all the pictures that are sent your way. Your dog will get a lot of outside time, exercise, play time, snuggles and freedom. Please feel free to message me with any questions or special requests. (: I have a flexible work schedule and work from home 3 days a week. We love to be outdoors playing but are also completely fine staying inside and relaxing. We treat any dog in our home like family. We try to make them feel as comfortable as possible as we understand that being out of their home and away from their owners can cause different behaviors such as anxiety, sadness, hyperness, etc.
“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.”
About: Though I've never had my own dog, I have always adored my loved ones' canine friends! From pitbulls to pugs and everything in-between, I am a reliable and dedicated caretaker for your pups. I am in grad school currently so I am decently flexible aside from my classes and internship. Feel free to inquire beyond what my calendar says on the off chance something has opened up! I am unable to care for pets in my own home but am willing to go to yours. After going through the care plan for your specific pet(s), you can be confident they'll be in good hands with me!
About: Ever since I can remember, I have always been around and loved animals. My Grandma was very influential in teaching me to love and care for them and how to read their body language. I started pet sitting when I was in elementary school, when our neighbors would go on vacation I would care for their cat and fish. I have had many beloved pets growing up, including; cats, dogs, guinea pigs, rabbits, fish, lizards, hamsters, and a mouse. Currently, I have a previously feral, cow cat named queenie. I have taken a veterinary science course at hcc, where I studied animal anatomy. I also worked as a volunteer and fostered at the humane society , a non-profit no kill organization that works with Petsmart, to get animals into forever homes. I am currently in school to get a Bachelors Degree in Biology, with a focus on Zoology. My goal is to study and work directly with wild animals in order to preserve them! :) If you guys have any questions feel free at ask! My schedule is pretty open just let me know when you need me :) Thank you sooo much! My whole house is cat and pup proof! Your furbaby will be safe and happy here with me while you get the things you need done!
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.
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.

“Mandie was wonderful and helped us with a six day stay with very short notice. Communication was perfect with quick responses and frequent updates with pictures. We definitely recommend Mandie and will surely be back!”
“My dog had a great time boarding with Satsuki! It was one of my longer trips so I was worried but all those worries went away quickly. Satsuki took great care of my dog and gave me regular updates including pictures - which I love! Would definitely rebook again”
“Tina was amazing with taking care of our dog Kiwi. Kiwi felt right at home with her and her Husband. I definitely recommend letting your furry family member to stay with them.”
“JT and Janelle took the cutest pictures of my 2 dogs! I felt so much peace knowing they were in safe and secure hands with years of professional dog expertise to keep them happy and healthy. I would definitely book with them again.”
“Our dog had a great stay with Ashley! He has some anxiety and hates to be left alone, but Ashley gave him the love and attention he needed to feel at ease. She allowed us to bring him over prior to his stay to get a little more comfortable and she always had great communication, sending plenty of pictures while we were gone! Definitely recommend and will use again!”
“Terri and Chuck are so caring and so thorough with their fur guests. They welcomed our pup Sienna with open arms, and followed all of our instructions for care. Terri genuinely loves animals and it shows in the care she gives them. We loved the many pictures and video updates during our trip. Thank you Terri!”
“Juan took great care of my pups while we were away for a few days — I received frequent photo updates, he took them on long walks, let them run freely at the dog park, and provided a comfy dog bed for their stay. I’m pretty sure my goldendoodle was disappointed to leave Juan and come back home, lol. When I picked them up they were the most calm, well-rested, and not dehydrated — it’s usually the opposite when I’ve picked them up from boarding or a sitter in the past. I’ll definitely book with Juan again in the future!”
“May and Ally were excellent sitters for our two dogs while we went away on vacation. They are warm and welcoming everytime we interacted and my dogs were accepted into their family with open arms. We received multiple photos per day of their activities and were notified if anything came up. Thank you Nat and Ally for taking such wonderful care of my dogs we will definitely use you again when we're need to board our dogs.”
“This was our second time using Barbara. Will definitely use her again. She clearly loves animals and her regular updates were great! I was worried our boy might not want to come home. 🙂”
“Anna took such great care of our German shepherd, was communicative and understanding when we had an unexpected travel change. She was more than accommodating and went above and beyond to help given our travel issue. Anna’s house is great for any dog, her dogs are very sweet and her family is awesome. I cannot recommend enough and we will book with her again 1000%”
“Sandra is amazing! I have never met anyone who loves animals more than she does. I will ALWAYS use her when I need someone to watch my little baby. She is highly attentive and sends me pictures all throughout the day. Constant updates on my little one. I could not have met a much kinder soul than hers. Thank you Sandra!!!”
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 think Mack had more fun with Marne and her family than she does at our house! Mack was a recent family addition and this was her first time away from us (a two week stay). Marne sent daily updates and sent Mack home with Christmas gifts since she stayed over the holidays. I am so glad we found a place for our girl when we go out of town!”
