“Jeanie and Robert are the best. They treat my pup like family and he loves his visits to their home. I honestly don’t know what I would do without them. I’ve used them over a dozen times and will continue as long as they allow.”
“I have never used a sitter before for my dog. Sarah was Awesome. She totally put my mind at ease, kept me updated daily with pictures, and even spoke directly at one point. My dog had such a good time, I think she was a little sad to come home...LOL Sarah's home is totally dog friendly, and very clean. She has a beautiful fenced in back yard, but till took the time to walk around the neighborhood with my girl. I was totally Blessed to get her, and look forward to traveling in the future now. Highly recommend...!”
“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 ?”
“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!”
“Suki was great with my two older dogs. Suki was flexible and attentive to their needs. She communicated with me regularly, sending photos and updates every day. She was very patient when one of my dogs had separation anxiety. I was really thankful, and knew the dogs were in good hands!”
“I’ve had two of my fur babies stay with Legune & Michael. They are so amazing!! The updates they give are wonderful and my puppies have such a fun time with them! I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you again for taking such great care of my babies!”
“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!”
“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.”
“Min and Matt were a last minute booking, but they worked out so well. I was even able to stay an extra day on my vacation while they kept my pup. They made sure to walk and play with him multiple times a day. He was very well cared for and smiled his time at their house. I would highly recommend using them in the future.”
“Renee always so loving to our dog Lily. She offers plenty of opportunities for play and cuddles. I recieve frequent updates and Lily always seemed to be right at home! Love that she has experience with pet sitting and it very aware of each individual dog in her care! :)”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“Rachel and Jason were wonderful with our new puppy. It was our first time leaving her overnight, and the videos and pictures were very reassuring. I know she was loved and well taken care of!”
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
“Lillie and Dawson had a great time with Joel and Janelle. We know our babies and happy, safe and very well taken care of. We have already booked again! 🐾❤️”
“Wonderful land for our boys to run on and have fun outside. They enjoyed playing with other dogs there and Emily took great care of them. There are so many places for dogs to explore and they have daily walks around the property. Highly recommend this sitter.”
“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!”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”

“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”
“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.”
“She has pet sat for us several times and every time she has gone above and beyond. This past trip we were gone internationally and never had one concern because I knew Abigail had it under control!!”
“Jennifer B. was an excellent drop-in caretaker for our cat, Bella, during our recent vacation. Jennifer sent us daily pictures and updates on Bella. We will definitely call on Jennifer again in the future!”
“Corrinna did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away this week. Coming home, it was clear that our cat had been well cared for, happy to see us, but relaxed and content, which tells us all of her needs were met while we were gone. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. We truly appreciate Corrinna’s care, reliability, and attention, and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
About: I’ve had and loved animals my whole life and have experience watching all sorts of animals in all shapes age and size. My hope is for both pets and parents to be so comfortable with me that being separated is stressfree ! I currently work roughly 9am -3:30 pm M-F. I am available to feed or let whoever out during lunch as well! Weekends I’m free all day !! I’m unable to bring animals into my home but am happy to visit and hangout with them in their homes!! If desired I’m always able to go for local walks/hikes or fetch depending on exercise needs!
“Satsuki did an excellent job taking care of my cat over the holidays. She was always on time, sent detailed reports, and went above and beyond what I expected from a sitter. I will definitely be calling her again!”
“Arnie is incredible! He came over a few days before my first booking to meet my 2 dogs. My senior dog warmed right up to him, and my 3 year old rescue even allowed some scratches and to be held. I was able to tell they both felt safe and secure with Arnie around. My senior needs a little extra help up and down the stairs, and I’m still working on leash confidence with the 3 year old. These things didn’t faze Arnie or stand out as a problem. He was ready to tackle them head on. This made me feel safe and secure knowing my babies would be in goods hands with him. I’m so thrilled that Arnie will be a buddy for my pups, and give me some peace of mind when I have a long work day!”
“I can’t recommend Katie enough as a dog sitter! She is responsible, caring, and truly loves animals. From the very beginning, Katie was reliable and communicative, always keeping me updated with messages and photos so I knew my dog was happy and well taken care of.”
“If I could give more stars for Jesse, I would! She is absolutely perfect and took care of my Aretha with so much care and warmth. She even came over to assist me in getting Aretha situated because he was NOT a happy camper with going to a sitter while mom (me) was away. LOL This was my first time using Rover and I must say, choosing her was the best decision made! I will definitely be using her again and highly recommend!!!! A million stars!!!!”
About: Love just looking out the window with my cats or just let them lay on me until my legs go numb and endless pets and brushes I always write down and display any instructions on my phone as a lock or Home Screen I treat every animal I take care of as one of my own

“Jeannie & Robert W. aare absolutely wonderful petsitters! They were so responsive and flexible with last minute changes in plans when we were in town for a wedding. They were incredibly attentive to our dog Zoe and provided her with treats and walks and individualized attention. Zoe literally did not want to leave their house when we went to pick her up! Jeannie and Robert sent us lots of photos and communication while Zoe was in their care. They went ABOVE AND BEYOND! We highly recommend their services. It’s clear that they genuinely care about animals and their clients. They are experts in pet care and are very experienced. Thank you! -Jessica & Jared”

“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.”
“Jesse helped us out with a very last minute request to watch our dog for the day and we’re so glad we found her! Our dog had a great time at doggie day care with Jesse and her family. They provided her with lots of exercise and play, as well as lots of love. I showed up to one happy dog at the end of the day. Jesse is a good communicator and provided updates and pics from the day. We would recommend Jesse for any dog sitting needs!”
“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.”
“Emily is a wonderful, intuitive care person for dogs. She has two dogs of her own and a couple of other dogs that board with her. I have a non-altered female and she cares for a non-altered male. I won't be back because of that, but no fault of Emily's.”
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.
“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!”

About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.
“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 !”
About: Hi! While I don’t have professional pet care experience yet, I’ve always had a deep love for animals and am excited to finally get the chance to experience what it’s like to care for a pet. I’m kind, patient, and gentle—and I’m eager to provide your furry family member with lots of attention and affection. In my daily life, I’m a student and also help take care of a baby, so I’m used to being responsible, organized, and attentive. I live a very clean and healthy lifestyle—I don’t smoke, I enjoy a calm home environment, and I take routines seriously. I believe pets can feel energy, and I bring a peaceful and caring presence they’ll feel safe around. I may be new to pet sitting, but I promise to treat your pet like part of my family. I’m here to learn, grow, and give your pet the love and care they deserve. I'm currently a student with a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time during the day for walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention. I’m usually home in the mornings and afternoons, and I enjoy spending my free time in calm, peaceful environments—perfect for caring for pets. Because I already help care for a baby as part of my routine, I’m used to planning my day around someone else’s needs. Adding pet care to my daily life feels natural and exciting. Whether it’s a potty break, play session, or cuddle time, I’m happy to fit it into my schedule and make your pet feel safe and loved. I live in a quiet, clean apartment with a large grassy area just outside—perfect for walks, potty breaks, and safe outdoor play. It's a pet-friendly community, and I always keep pets leashed and closely supervised when outside to make sure they stay safe. I maintain a calm and tidy home environment with no smoking, no other pets, and no young children running around—so your pet will have a peaceful and safe place to relax. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I always follow your instructions closely and pay attention to the little things—like keeping water bowls full, sticking to routines, and making sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved. Trust and communication are very important to me. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your furry friend is in good hands.

They’re very special to me and I take the most precious care of them, which I extend to all animals and hopefully, to yours too! I am pretty available, as I work overnights mainly! I can also offer home stays as well with enough time to prepare in advance! :) Just like I do with my pets, I will follow your fur babies eating and potty schedule to a tee.

I have cared for a variety of animals over the years including cats, dogs, reptiles, and small furry animals. I have provided pet care for friends and family over the last 10 years. I have also volunteered at animal shelters and I worked at PetSmart for a couple years caring for the animals. Over all, I am here to show your cat or dog the extra love you're looking for! On top of providing for their needs, I am happy to hang out with them, play with them, and give them cuddles if they are interested. I'm also happy to take pictures of them and update you. I work a set, part time schedule. This provides me the opportunity to be flexible with pet care scheduling and focus my attention on your beloved companions. I have a good understanding of dogs and cats body language, meaning I can better understand your fur babies and what they're looking for from me, which helps build trust and connection. I make sure they have fresh water and will feed as directed.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs for years for people I know, but I wanna help other dog owners who need help to take care of them too I’m an actress, so my job is very patchy.

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, so my availability is limited to the weekends. 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 parents that may not get along with another dog. I will always care for your pet as if it were my own.
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.
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.

“I have never used a sitter before for my dog. Sarah was Awesome. She totally put my mind at ease, kept me updated daily with pictures, and even spoke directly at one point. My dog had such a good time, I think she was a little sad to come home...LOL Sarah's home is totally dog friendly, and very clean. She has a beautiful fenced in back yard, but till took the time to walk around the neighborhood with my girl. I was totally Blessed to get her, and look forward to traveling in the future now. Highly recommend...!”
“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!”
“Suki was great with my two older dogs. Suki was flexible and attentive to their needs. She communicated with me regularly, sending photos and updates every day. She was very patient when one of my dogs had separation anxiety. I was really thankful, and knew the dogs were in good hands!”
“Nadia is amazing! She is so flexible with having to make adjustments to the schedule and even goes out of her way to help with pick up/ drop off (which have been such a blessing with having a young baby). She communicates very well and provides picture updates during my dogs stay. Will definitely be using her again!”
“Our pup had a wonderful time interacting and playing with Sandra’s other pups and boarder friends. Sandra is attentive and caring. She’s a pro and has a neat set up for her canine clients. We got lots of pictures and we’re made aware of our little guy’s activities. Would definitely recommend and use her services again.”
“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!”
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.
“Absolutely wonderful experience! Needed a last minute sitter for my fur baby as I unexpectedly needed to go out of town for a family matter. Not only was Dimitri flexible and professional, he provided me daily photos and updates! He followed all of the feeding instructions perfectly and took my pup to the dog park daily. I highly recommend Dimitri and will be using his services again in the future!”
“Olivia is amazing! She was taking care of our dog for the first time and we are so happy we found her! Our dog is pretty scared around new people but he had a really good time with Olivia. She kept me updated with lots of pictures and it was clear he was happy and comfortable. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.”
“Renee always so loving to our dog Lily. She offers plenty of opportunities for play and cuddles. I recieve frequent updates and Lily always seemed to be right at home! Love that she has experience with pet sitting and it very aware of each individual dog in her care! :)”
“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. 🙂”
“Words cannot express my satisfaction having Annette look after Axel. Learning of her experience with fosters it was a no brainer to book with her. My experience dropping off and picking up, seeing her interact with my boy and hearing how she handled situations with him, solidified she will be my go to sitter. It was wonderful peace of mind to know Axel would be taken care of in a lovely home environment.”
“Lillie and Dawson had a great time with Joel and Janelle. We know our babies and happy, safe and very well taken care of. We have already booked again! 🐾❤️”
“Wonderful land for our boys to run on and have fun outside. They enjoyed playing with other dogs there and Emily took great care of them. There are so many places for dogs to explore and they have daily walks around the property. Highly recommend this sitter.”
“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!”
“Our pup enjoyed another stay with Jennifer. Jennifer keeps great communication while away and is very accommodating! We are always so happy and impressed. Penny will he back soon!”
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Five stars for Laura! Due to a family emergency, we had to find a last minute sitter for our lab. Laura was extremely responsive and accommodating throughout the entire experience. During our pup’s stay, we received various photos and videos of him feeling at home and having fun. She clearly loves animals and makes sure your pet is loved. I would absolutely book with Laura again! Thank you Laura!”
