“Sarah makes our senior dog Brody feel right at home! Her house is perfect for a senior dog who can’t do steps very well anymore and she has a great fenced in yard. Sarah has a very calm demeanor and makes us feel less anxious when we go away knowing Brody is being so well taken care of! I highly recommend her and her son is a bonus, caring for Brody too”
“Charlie was an incredible dog sitter for my Boston Terrier, Huckleberry. From the start, he was kind, professional, and accommodating. I appreciated the regular photo updates of Huckleberry enjoying his time, especially at the park! Huckleberry loved hanging out with Charlie's two dogs, who were the perfect playmates. Even when I was late for pickup, Charlie was super understanding and flexible. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and I felt completely at ease knowing Huckleberry was in good hands. I highly recommend Charlie and will definitely book him again!”
“I am so very pleased with Cheryl and her furry family. Cheryl was very meticulous about assessing my dogs needs and care right from the start. My dog is quite skidish about new dogs, new environments and new people. This was no challenge for Cheryl. She was able to ease my dogs insecurities right away and allowed her 2 dogs time to meet our little girl on her terms and very cautiously. Cheryl was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and communicated with me throughout the entire stay with updates and photos. She also provided my dog with medications for her skin and gave us great feedback on how I may be able to better care for her allergies. Cheryl is a very responsible dog owner and it certainly carries into her ability to care for my dog as well. My dog was happy and stress free while in Cheryl's care and I will definitely be using her again! If you're looking for a caretaker that will provide top notch care and treat your furry companion with the love and respect they deserve, then look no further and reach out to Cheryl.”
“Shaynna was awesome. She was willing to take Kelce on a last minute basis. She was also able to tell when Kelce was stressed and was able to give her the attention she needed. She gave updates and sent a picture. I will definitely book with Shaynna again when the time comes about.”
“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.”
“Due to unfortunate reasons we needed Diana to watch our dog. She's always accommodating when it comes to our needs. Our pup is always pooped when she gets home after the long hours of playing with Nova her husky. Diana is awesome. Thank you again”
“Ellen! You have done it again. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups. I love when Maya just doesn’t want to leave because she loves the farm. That’s how much they love you. THANKS!”
“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!”
“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 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!”
“Danny was great. Kept me informed and sent pics of Finn. This was the first time I left Finn for such a long time, but I think I missed him more than he missed me. I will use Danny in the future to take care of Finn.”
“Renee was very communicative, friendly and prepared! It looked like Mae really enjoyed herself during her stay, I would definitely recommend her as a dog-sitter to anyone.”
“Lejune is northing short of amazing and I would recommend her 100% to anyone looking for someone to care for their fur baby while they are away. Our Tyson is 13 and we wanted him to be in a comforting and nurturing environment while we were away and Lejune and her family provided just that! We received lots of updates and pictures which was very comforting to us. Tyson was definitely treated like part of the family and received some good spoiling while with Lejune and her family and came home a very happy boy!!! Again, thank you to Lejune and her family for taking such good care of Tyson while we were away - he can't wait to come back to see you guys 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.”
“I feel so peaceful leaving my dog with Sandra. Sandra, you are amazing. You are so communicative and you care for each pet like it’s your own. I have so much gratitude for your excellent care. Thanks for everything. You are wonderful!!”
“Our dog Mia had the BEST time with Ruth while we were on vacation. She sent me pictures every day and spoiled her! She had puppy ice cream, walks every day, and came home so happy. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay! We will definitely return!”
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.

About: I’ve been caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments since I was around 12 years old. Working in a school setting has also strengthened my patience, responsibility, and ability to handle different personalities, skills I bring into caring for every pet. I work for CASD, so my schedule is very consistent during the school year, with availability after 3:45 PM on weekdays and open weekends. During the summer, I have full availability, which means I can provide more flexible scheduling, extended stays, and extra attention for your pets throughout the day. Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I always supervise interactions and can separate pets if needed. I’m comfortable with crating if that’s part of your pet’s routine, and I’ll follow all feeding, medication, and care instructions closely to keep everything consistent and stress-free.

“Danielle took excellent care of our little kitten Penny. We were nervous about leaving her alone, but Danielle eased our fears with constant communication, lots of photos, and flexibility. Penny was a little sick the day we left, so we were hoping to add another drop in visit and Danielle worked overtime to accommodate and make sure Penny was OK. Also, Penny can be a little skittish, but was so friendly and warmed up to Danielle instantly, she must be a good just of character! You’ll have to plan your vacations around mine, because we will definitely be using Danielle again.”
“Caitlyn was an amazing sitter. The booking was truly last minute and she responded right away. She was super attentive to our furry friends and, when we returned, surprised us with teaching one of our dogs a new trick! I would definitely recommend her for anyone interested in having someone who is truly caring watch over their pets.”
“Had not been able to use Susan for a while as we have not been traveling but needed to make a two day trip and Susan was able to stop in and take care of our boys. Susan is excellent at communicating with us and does a wonderful job. Would recommend her to all.”

About: I have over 5 years of hands-on experience working with dogs through both training and in-home boarding. My background as a professional dog trainer means I understand canine behavior on a deeper level, allowing me to provide structured, safe, and low-stress care for every dog in my home. I’ve worked with a wide range of dogs—from young puppies to more challenging cases—and prioritize clear communication, consistency, and meeting each dog where they’re at. Whether your dog needs structure, confidence building, or just a calm and reliable environment, I tailor my care to fit their individual needs. Dogs in my care are part of a structured, trainer-managed environment. During the day, they are integrated into my routine and pack, allowing for appropriate socialization and calm coexistence. With board & train dogs on-site, I maintain a high level of supervision and structure to ensure safety and balance for every dog. All dogs are crated at night to promote rest and maintain a secure environment. Your dog’s safety is my top priority. With over 5 years of professional dog training and boarding experience, I’m very intentional about how dogs are introduced, managed, and supervised in my home. Dogs are never left unsupervised together, and all interactions are based on temperament and comfort level. I have experience reading body language and preventing issues before they arise, creating a calm and controlled environment. At night, all dogs are safely crated to ensure proper rest and security. My goal is to provide a space where your dog feels safe, understood, and well cared for at all times.

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!

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
“Within 1 week of Diana keeping Quinncy, he has made so many positive changes! Accidents in the house have dropped significantly, he spends less time playing outside and more time doing his business, and is even sleeping better also! Diana has many years experience with dogs and I have learned a great deal of knowledge from her! Plus, she is conveniently location as she only lives a few moments from I-81. I would recommend her for anyone needing dependable and caring dog daycare!”

About: I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years, starting in middle school and continuing through college and grad school. I have experience with dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight stays, and caring for both dogs and cats. While in school, I regularly pet sat for families in Pennsylvania and built lasting relationships through reliable, attentive care. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and sizes—including dogs with health issues who require medication, special routines, or extra attention. What sets me apart is my lifelong connection to animals. I grew up in a home with pets throughout my childhood—including 4 dogs (labs and pointers), 6 cats, and 10 bunnies—so caring for animals has always been a part of my life. I’m dependable, patient, and genuinely love making animals feel safe, happy, and cared for. I recently started a full-time role, but the great news is I only work three days a week!

I follow all instructions carefully—whether it's feeding schedules, medication, walking routes, or playtime preferences—and I’m happy to provide updates and photos so you know your pet is safe and happy while you're away. I treat every pet like my own and every home with the utmost respect, keeping things clean, secure, and exactly how you left them. You can feel confident that your furry friend is in caring, trustworthy hands.

Even when I was late for pickup, Charlie was super understanding and flexible. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about the dogs he watches, and I felt completely at ease knowing Huckleberry was in good hands. I highly recommend Charlie and will definitely book him again!”
“I am so very pleased with Cheryl and her furry family. Cheryl was very meticulous about assessing my dogs needs and care right from the start. My dog is quite skidish about new dogs, new environments and new people. This was no challenge for Cheryl. She was able to ease my dogs insecurities right away and allowed her 2 dogs time to meet our little girl on her terms and very cautiously. Cheryl was flexible with my drop off and pick up times and communicated with me throughout the entire stay with updates and photos. She also provided my dog with medications for her skin and gave us great feedback on how I may be able to better care for her allergies. Cheryl is a very responsible dog owner and it certainly carries into her ability to care for my dog as well. My dog was happy and stress free while in Cheryl's care and I will definitely be using her again! If you're looking for a caretaker that will provide top notch care and treat your furry companion with the love and respect they deserve, then look no further and reach out to Cheryl.”
“Shaynna was awesome. She was willing to take Kelce on a last minute basis. She was also able to tell when Kelce was stressed and was able to give her the attention she needed. She gave updates and sent a picture. I will definitely book with Shaynna again when the time comes about.”
“Due to unfortunate reasons we needed Diana to watch our dog. She's always accommodating when it comes to our needs. Our pup is always pooped when she gets home after the long hours of playing with Nova her husky. Diana is awesome. Thank you again”
“Ellen! You have done it again. Thank you so much for taking care of our pups. I love when Maya just doesn’t want to leave because she loves the farm. That’s how much they love you. THANKS!”
“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 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!”
“Danny was great. Kept me informed and sent pics of Finn. This was the first time I left Finn for such a long time, but I think I missed him more than he missed me. I will use Danny in the future to take care of Finn.”
“Renee was very communicative, friendly and prepared! It looked like Mae really enjoyed herself during her stay, I would definitely recommend her as a dog-sitter to anyone.”
“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.”
“I feel so peaceful leaving my dog with Sandra. Sandra, you are amazing. You are so communicative and you care for each pet like it’s your own. I have so much gratitude for your excellent care. Thanks for everything. You are wonderful!!”
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.
“Susan and Robert are an amazing couple. They welcomed Sophia into their large animal family and treated her as Royalty! Daily, they sent pictures and comments regarding Sophia. Their house is pet friendly with a large area for dogs to roam around. This was our first time using "pet sitters" and we are delighted with the results. We highly recommend both Susan and Robert to watch your animals.”
“Yvi and Christians hospitality was amazing. They were incredibly dependable and made sure my dog felt secure and cared for while I was gone. It was clear they truly enjoy their work, and it gave me such peace of mind knowing my pet was in such capable hands. I'll definitely be booking with them again!"”
“Satsuki took great care of our puppy for his first boarding experience. We are glad we made this choose as she is caring, experienced and patient. She sent a few fun pics throughout the journey and she was very responsive. Would recommend her for sure.”
“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: **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.
“Casey was awesome with Coda! She had a great time hanging out and running around with her dog Jojo. She’s already been sleeping most of the day just from all the fun she had there.”
