Highly-rated overnight sitters - Maple Hill
“If I could give Danielle and her husband 10 stars I would. Our dog hurt his leg two days before we were to leave on a eight day cruise and she took great care of him, giving him his medicine and making sure he didn’t jump, go down/up stairs or play too hard which anyone knows is hard in itself with a dog. She offered to take him to the vet if he got worse and kept us updated every day. They are amazing honestly and we definitely will be using her going forward. If you are looking for a groomer she has her own grooming business as well called Hugz-N-Kisses Pet Spa definitely check her out!!!”
“Sarah and her family were great to my pup Smokey Monroe. Smokey got plenty of walks and frisbee time and also had other pups to play with. Sarah sent photos and was very communicative. Overall Smokey had a great time and was well care for while I was away.”
“Rebooked with Larissa! Again she was immediately responsive, flexible and above and beyond communicative. When I got my daughter’s travel schedule wrong she was super nice and accommodating despite needing to keep our dog late. Also very delicate about letting us know our pup wasn’t feeling great which I so appreciated so that I can keep an eye and vet her a vet appointment asap!”
“Tasha is the best! My husband and I have such peace of mind leaving our dog with her and her family. We get lots of updates and it truly shows that she loves every pup like her own.”
“Amanda is an exceptional dog sitter. I received ongoing updates and pictures of my two dachshunds. They clearly had a wonderful experience demonstrated in all the pictures she sent of them and her updates. Amanda was sensitive and accommodating with my dog’s special diet and needing to go outside often. Amanda’s love of dogs is evident and I had such peace of mind leaving them in her care. I look forward to a return visit soon! Thanks again Amanda!”
“Gabrielle took great care of my Elvis and Pita for a week. She sent lots of pictures and always communicated regularly. They had a great time with her and will definitely be back!”
“Our dogs enjoyed themselves during the time with Mya. She showed us around her place and our dogs felt comfortable with her. She sent us pictures and updates everyday. A little accident did happen between our dogs but that was out of Mya’s control but her and her husband intervened appropriately and notified us immediately of the situation. We will definitely continue to book with her in the future.”
“Diane stood out to me because of her wonderful reviews and the fact that she had multiple repeat family's that trusted her with their dogs. This was the first time anyone would be taking care of a dog of mine outside of family or friends so I was worried to find the right person and unsure about a stranger taking care of my "child" but when I met Diane I felt so comfortable that my Phoebe was in safe hands and that she understood her needs and would care for her like a member of her own family. It's clear immediately how much Diane loves / has a passion for dogs and is a very caring / welcoming person. This was also the first time I would be away from my girl so I appreciated so much the frequent updates from Diane and that Diane took the time to understand Phoebe's personality and I felt she listened to my concerns and reassured me about anything and I knew my Phoebe was in great hands and also having such a fun time. Thank you to Diane for taking such good care of my girl and welcoming her into your home for the weekend .”
“Christina S. and her husband took very good care of Rocket! They play with him, walk him, give frequent updates and pictures. 10/10 dog sitter and highly recommend! This was our second time using her and will be booking again! I never worry about our fur baby when I'm away.”
“Carey was an amazing sitter! She was responsive, open, and very attentive to my “Velcro-dog” that requires attention all the time. She updated me with pictures during my time away, and her whole family was very kind and loving to him. I absolutely will be booking with her in the future!”
“Our golden retriever Miller had a blast with Steven, Britt and their kids! The best little vacation for him while we were on vacation. He got to swim which is his absolute favorite and got all sorts of attention. He was able to stick to a pretty normal routine for the 10 days we were gone a lot better than if he were at a kennel which made me so much more comfortable leaving him somewhere. Steven and Brittany were so easy going and sent picture updates of Miller every day which we loved! Thank you so so much for taking such good care of our baby so we could enjoy our vacation without worrying!!”
“Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Raquel and her family are excellent pet sitters. Daily updates with pictures kept me very happy to see Emma being well taken care of and having fun. Will most definitely use Rover and Raquel again!!”
“Ollie and Chief loved their stay with Natalie and her family! Ollie got to play with Natalies dog Rocky and get some of his energy out. Natalie was able to take care of Chiefs senior dog needs (like his diapers!) and treated the dogs as her own. We will definitely use her again in the future since she took such great care of our fur babies!”
“Abigail was a wonderful sitter! I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates often. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”
“Donna and Calvin were fantastic hosts! I knew my older Pomeranian was in great hands and I didn’t have to worry about him while I was away. Donna sent regular pictures and updates. He went on daily walks, and was given special attention with food because he doesn’t eat right away like other dogs. I highly recommend Donna and Calvin!”
“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”

About: I grew up with dogs as a kid. As an adult I’ve owned 2 dogs for a total of 4 years. The first I had for 3 years and had gotten him from a friend due to PCS. My current is a GSD that I got as an 8 week puppy who is currently over a year old that I trained myself. I currently work about 6-8 hours a day but have a short commute to work so if needed, I am able to check in on pets on a more frequent basis. I take my dog outdoors pretty frequently since he’s high energy whether it be on walks or for play in the yard. At least once a week, I take him somewhere public to work on his socialization and training with distractions. We train pretty frequently as well and have to say he does pretty well so if you’d like, I can assist in anything you’re trying to train. Disclaimer though, I’m not a professional trainer, only dogs I’ve trained are the ones I’ve owned. I live in a house with a pretty large fenced yard. I’m a big advocate for dogs getting activity, whether that’s physical like a walk or play outside or if it’s any kind of mental stimulation. My dog is crate trained and stays in his crate while I am not at home. I would prefer the same of your pet to ensure safety of your fur baby while I am away. Once I’m home, I allow my dog to free roam the house and will do the same for yours. My dog has been around several dogs and cats and is very friendly, social and playful, however, if needed, I have the ability to separate animals that don’t get along to ensure their safety. If there’s any questions on care I provide, please feel free to reach out! I’m pretty flexible and will do my best provide the care your pet is used to/needs.
“Absolutely amazing sitter! Professional, kind, and my two cats LOVED her. Each visit she’d write a great update, with photos of the scooped litter boxes, cats being fed, and automatic feeder/water fountain plugged in. We had absolute peace of mind knowing our cats were well taken care of. Will 100% book again in the future!”
“Allana was great. She was always on time and was great with my dog. My dog is very shy and doesn’t get comfortable with everyone but warmed up to Allana really fast. She communicated and sent me pictures and updates after every visit. I would highly recommend her.”
“Jacob was great to work with! Immediately after our meet and greet, we knew our dogs and cat would be in great hands. We have a one year old Great Dane that has a ton of energy, and Jacob made sure to take the time to play with her and tire her out. We have never seen her as tuckered out as the day after we got back! He communicated well throughout the process, and left our home like he was never there! Will definitely be using Jacob again!”
“Michelle helped us with a last minute cancellation. She was professional, responsive and had the patience to work with our shy kitty. We've already scheduled another drop in with her!”
“The best service I could have asked for. Exceeded expectations, sent me updates of my cats, played with them, brought in my mail, took out my trash, watered my plant, and was consistent with times he was able to show up. I look forward to working with him in the future as well! Thank you!”

About: Experience: With over 20 years of hands on experience caring for dogs, I treat every pet like family. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities from energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care. I love staying active with dogs through walks, playtime, and enrichment, but I’m just as happy giving extra cuddles and companionship to those who need a slower pace.

I provide updates, photos, and peace of mind so you always know your pet is in great hands. You can trust that your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for every step of the way.

About: (Base Access) Hello! I’m a Veteran, Mom of 3 kiddos, married to a Veteran and in my thirties with experience birthing puppies and goats, walking/running with dogs. I’ve taken care of 3 elderly dogs and helped them be as comfortable as possible before dying at home. Groomed our family dogs for years. I’ve helped my dogs and others after surgery and have experience giving medication. We have a single story home with only three steps to the backyard and two to the front yard. My husband and children are wonderful at cuddling and playing with all the dogs we get to meet. We will provide the full spectrum of care needed to help your furbaby feel loved and safe while away from their own family. I’m home most of the day every day, we go on walks as a family in the morning & evening. I have a minivan available for transporting all sizes of animals. We homeschool and my husband helps whenever I need to take the kids to activities. There are very few times where we are all away from home, so we are able to give extra attention. I have a large fenced yard with chickens (in their own fenced area) and my cats are friendly and live outside the home. Our home is a single story and the only steps are three to the backyard and two to the front yard. Our garage is heated/cooled and a great space to keep large kenneled pets. Our neighborhood is quiet and has a great road for walking on.
“Amanda was absolutely amazing! She cared for my two huskies with their little quirks perfectly! She is super accommodating and her three dogs are fabulous! Anyone who stays with her should know how much fun their pups will have!”
About: I’ve grown up with dogs my whole life and love them. You can count on me to give your pet all the love and attention they need. My job is fully work from home so I am available to watch dogs often with how much I’m home. I don’t have a pet of my own at the moment so love having one around! I have a house, yard and a nice neighbourhood for walks & play. Very dog friendly! I love going on walks with them. I’m also open to taking them to the beach if they like that!
About: I have years of hands-on experience working in two professional boarding facilities where I cared for dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and ages. During that time, I was responsible for feeding routines, exercise schedules, cleaning and sanitization, and giving pups the affection and enrichment they need to feel comfortable away from home. I’m trained in safely administering medications, monitoring behavior, and recognizing signs of stress or discomfort. Whether your dog is a high-energy adventurer or a laid back cuddler, I know how to keep them happy, safe, and cared for during every walk or check-in! Pet care is a natural part of my weekly routine! I have dedicated daily time blocks specifically for dog walks and check-ins so I can consistently provide reliable care for every pet parent I work with. Fresh air and staying active are already part of my lifestyle, so bringing pups along for exercise and outdoor enrichment makes it even better. I prioritize clear communication and punctual visits, and I’m always happy to send photo updates so you know your pet is having a great day:) Your pup’s needs will always come first! From potty breaks and playtime to gentle companionship while you’re away. Safety and trust are my top priorities during every visit. I take the time to understand each pet’s routine, personality, and comfort level so they always feel secure while in my care. During check-ins, I follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and household rules exactly as you outline them. For walks, I use secure leash handling, avoid unsafe areas or unknown dogs, and closely monitor your pet’s behavior and surroundings. I always ensure doors, gates, and crates are properly secured before leaving. With reliable communication and detailed updates after every visit, you can feel confident that your pet and your home are in responsible hands.
“Samantha came in clutch with a last minute day care request! She is very responsive and sweet. Davey enjoyed his stay and we will definitely be rebooking again in the future.”
About: My name is Cami, I have two dogs names Cricket ( 4 years ) and Piper (1 year). Both of my dogs were rescued and happen to be lab mixes. We currently are living on a farm that has been turned into apartments. On a normal night there are 4 dogs playing outside on 1.5 acres of land. Our back yard if pretty secluded and quiet. Which typically lasts for over an hour at night. So they would have plenty of time to socialize and burn off some energy.Overall, there is just a lot of room to run around and adventure. My girls also enjoy going for long walks on the dirt roads to burn off some energy. I hope to meet your dog soon.
About: Hi! I’m Tiffany, and dogs truly are my passion. I’m the proud dog mom of three pups…two of whom are rescues. Through patience, consistency, and structure, I’ve worked through anxiety, reactivity, and other behavioral challenges with my own dogs. Those experiences have taught me that every dog is unique, and that calm leadership, routine, and understanding go a long way. When your pup stays with me, they become part of our family. ⸻ Why Dogs Love Staying Here 🏡 Large, fully fenced yard for supervised play and exploration 🐾 Three friendly resident dogs who help create a balanced, social environment (when appropriate) 🚶 Structured walks and individualized exercise every day 🚲 For dogs that enjoy it and are physically suited, I love taking them on safe bike runs to burn energy in a healthy, fulfilling way. 🧠 Daily enrichment, confidence-building activities, and mental stimulation 😴 Plenty of rest and relaxation so your pup isn’t overstimulated ❤️ Endless love, affection, and one-on-one attention ⸻ My Philosophy I don’t believe dogs thrive from nonstop excitement. They thrive with a healthy balance of exercise, structure, mental enrichment, rest, and affection. That’s why every stay includes opportunities to practice calm behaviors like waiting at doorways, relaxing on place, good leash manners, and appropriate play. My goal is to help your dog leave feeling happier, more confident, and more relaxed than when they arrived. Coming Soon: A canine confidence course designed to build coordination, confidence, and provide an extra layer of mental enrichment. I don’t believe in simply “watching” dogs. I believe in investing in them. Every stay includes exercise, enrichment, structure, and lots of love, so your pup leaves mentally fulfilled, physically exercised, and excited to come back. My days naturally revolve around dogs! I work from home most days, which means your pup won’t be left alone for long stretches. My three dogs are a huge part of my daily routine, and every day includes structured exercise, enrichment, rest, and quality time. I believe dogs thrive on routine, so each guest enjoys a predictable schedule that helps them feel safe, confident, and relaxed. Whether your pup loves adventure or prefers a quieter pace, I’ll tailor their day to fit their personality and energy level. Your dog’s safety and well-being will always come first. I have three friendly dogs of my own (two are rescues), and working through their unique personalities has taught me the value of patience, structure, and understanding. My home has a large, fully fenced yard for supervised play, and I carefully introduce dogs to make sure everyone is comfortable. I’m passionate about creating calm, balanced dogs…not overstimulated ones. Throughout the day we practice simple manners like waiting at doors, settling on a place, calm greetings, and respectful interactions. Every activity is based on your dog’s comfort level and individual needs. Exercise is customized for each guest. That might mean neighborhood walks, fetch, enrichment games, confidence-building activities, or, for dogs who enjoy it and are physically suited, a fun bike run with me. I always prioritize safety over intensity.

About: I have always been the one everyone goes to for animal care. Animals are driven to me. And when I come into somebody's home, the animals always sit with me or love up on me. I know how to take care of a variety of animals from dogs, cats, exotic animals, too farm animals. I have started watching pets on my own and have nothing but great reviews.

I am a single mom and I love the fact that I can teach my son the appreciation for animals and what they bring into the home. When I am able to care for your pet in my home, they are able to socialize with my dog is well. He is very active. He is a lab pit mix. He is friendly and never had any issue with any other kind of animals. Your pet will also have more one on one care.

About: I have multi-dog household experience. There has always been at least two dogs in my house growing up, they’re my favorite animals.

I’m comfortable administering oral medication if needed. I’ll send daily photo updates. I’m a stay at home mom so there’s always time to care and play with our furry kids. I wake up between 6-8am and go to bed by 10pm.

There is a fenced area in the back of our house, and a big open area. I can take them out on a leash if needed or crate them if they’re not house trained.
About: There is nothing I love more than taking care or sweet fur babies. I’ve had personal experience taking care of dogs of any size for over 11 years.

I prefer dogs that are crate trained and that can be left alone for a few hours. I am also available to dog walk before and after work! I have a large backyard area, however; it is not fully fenced. I make sure dogs are leashed when we hang out in the backyard!

“Michelle was fabulous!!!' I have two dogs. She came over and did a face to face. It made me more comfortable meet her than a random walker I found on wag or another site. She provided great feedback and sent pics so I could see my fur babies”

I know firsthand how tough it can be to leave your furry family members behind – that’s why my goal is to make your dog feel safe, loved, and right at home. Whether it’s playtime, cuddle time, or just a calm presence while you’re away, I treat every dog like they’re my own.

I’m a part-time teacher on Camp Lejeune, which means I’m available weekdays after 12:30 PM and completely free on weekends. I’m usually home by 1 PM and spend the rest of the day relaxing, hanging out and caring for yours! Your dog will get plenty of attention, love, and time to play or just chill out — whatever makes them happiest. What You Can Expect: ✅ Safe, fun adventures tailored to your dog’s personality ✅ 100% transparency before and during the stay ✅ Daily photo updates and check-ins ✅ A calm, clean, and pet-friendly home ✅ Personalized care — whether they’re a couch potato or an explorer!

I will meet all the requirements requested and anything else the dog/owner may need.

About: What sets me apart is the level of care and attention I give every animal. I don’t believe in simply stopping by to feed and leave. I take the time to build trust, learn each pet’s routine, and make sure they feel comfortable while you’re away. I have experience caring for puppies, senior dogs, high energy breeds, and multi pet households. I’m also comfortable caring for farm animals such as chickens, goats, rabbits, and other small livestock. Whether your pet needs an active walk, medication, extra patience, or just plenty of love and attention, I adapt my care to meet their individual needs. My goal is for you to return home to a happy, healthy pet and have complete confidence that they were treated like family every step of the way. Pet care is a regular part of my daily routine, not something I try to fit in between other commitments. I intentionally schedule my day to ensure every pet receives the time, attention, and care they deserve. Whether it’s walks, playtime, feeding, medication, potty breaks, or simply keeping them company, I make sure their routine stays as consistent as possible. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe and comfortable, especially while their owners are away, and I always strive to provide a calm, dependable, and stress free experience for both pets and their families. Every pet has different needs, so I tailor my care to match their normal routine and your instructions. In your home, I work to keep your pet’s schedule as consistent as possible by following their feeding routine, providing exercise, playtime, potty breaks, medication if needed, and plenty of companionship. I also respect your home by keeping it clean, bringing in mail or packages if requested, watering plants, and making sure everything is secure while you’re away. When pets stay in my home, they are treated like part of the family. They receive regular potty breaks, exercise, enrichment, and lots of attention in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I provide updates with photos and messages so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is happy, safe, and well cared for throughout their stay.
“Madison was fantastic. We were last minute in our request, but she was quick and gracious. Her communication was perfect and she sent a description of the dog walk and a photo! She was spot on following the details I requested. Can’t wait to use her again!”

“Sarah and her family were great to my pup Smokey Monroe. Smokey got plenty of walks and frisbee time and also had other pups to play with. Sarah sent photos and was very communicative. Overall Smokey had a great time and was well care for while I was away.”
“Rebooked with Larissa! Again she was immediately responsive, flexible and above and beyond communicative. When I got my daughter’s travel schedule wrong she was super nice and accommodating despite needing to keep our dog late. Also very delicate about letting us know our pup wasn’t feeling great which I so appreciated so that I can keep an eye and vet her a vet appointment asap!”
“Tasha is the best! My husband and I have such peace of mind leaving our dog with her and her family. We get lots of updates and it truly shows that she loves every pup like her own.”
“Amanda is an exceptional dog sitter. I received ongoing updates and pictures of my two dachshunds. They clearly had a wonderful experience demonstrated in all the pictures she sent of them and her updates. Amanda was sensitive and accommodating with my dog’s special diet and needing to go outside often. Amanda’s love of dogs is evident and I had such peace of mind leaving them in her care. I look forward to a return visit soon! Thanks again Amanda!”
“Gabrielle took great care of my Elvis and Pita for a week. She sent lots of pictures and always communicated regularly. They had a great time with her and will definitely be back!”
“Our dogs enjoyed themselves during the time with Mya. She showed us around her place and our dogs felt comfortable with her. She sent us pictures and updates everyday. A little accident did happen between our dogs but that was out of Mya’s control but her and her husband intervened appropriately and notified us immediately of the situation. We will definitely continue to book with her in the future.”
“Diane stood out to me because of her wonderful reviews and the fact that she had multiple repeat family's that trusted her with their dogs. This was the first time anyone would be taking care of a dog of mine outside of family or friends so I was worried to find the right person and unsure about a stranger taking care of my "child" but when I met Diane I felt so comfortable that my Phoebe was in safe hands and that she understood her needs and would care for her like a member of her own family. It's clear immediately how much Diane loves / has a passion for dogs and is a very caring / welcoming person. This was also the first time I would be away from my girl so I appreciated so much the frequent updates from Diane and that Diane took the time to understand Phoebe's personality and I felt she listened to my concerns and reassured me about anything and I knew my Phoebe was in great hands and also having such a fun time. Thank you to Diane for taking such good care of my girl and welcoming her into your home for the weekend .”
“Carey was an amazing sitter! She was responsive, open, and very attentive to my “Velcro-dog” that requires attention all the time. She updated me with pictures during my time away, and her whole family was very kind and loving to him. I absolutely will be booking with her in the future!”
“Our golden retriever Miller had a blast with Steven, Britt and their kids! The best little vacation for him while we were on vacation. He got to swim which is his absolute favorite and got all sorts of attention. He was able to stick to a pretty normal routine for the 10 days we were gone a lot better than if he were at a kennel which made me so much more comfortable leaving him somewhere. Steven and Brittany were so easy going and sent picture updates of Miller every day which we loved! Thank you so so much for taking such good care of our baby so we could enjoy our vacation without worrying!!”
“Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! Raquel and her family are excellent pet sitters. Daily updates with pictures kept me very happy to see Emma being well taken care of and having fun. Will most definitely use Rover and Raquel again!!”
“Ollie and Chief loved their stay with Natalie and her family! Ollie got to play with Natalies dog Rocky and get some of his energy out. Natalie was able to take care of Chiefs senior dog needs (like his diapers!) and treated the dogs as her own. We will definitely use her again in the future since she took such great care of our fur babies!”
“Abigail was a wonderful sitter! I appreciated that she sent pictures and updates often. She was easy to communicate with and took great care of our dog. We will definitely be using her as a sitter again.”
“Rebecca and Pippa were great with my pup Harlow! She felt comfortable as soon as she met both of them. Rebecca was wonderful about being flexible with our changing travel plans and was very communicative and responsive. Would definitely recommend and use again! Thanks Rebecca and Pippa! :)”
“Jordan is so great. Will continue to use her services when we go away. Our giant lab stayed with her twice now for a week and he gets the most love and beat care. She's a professional at this!”
“Samantha is a wonderful dog sitter!! Knox is always so excited when we pull up to her house and she loves Samantha, her family and their dogs. She keeps me updated every day with pics and videos. We are very grateful to have found such an amazing sitter for Knox!!”
