“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“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!”
“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Jack was so wonderful and took such good care of my dog! He sent pics and updates every day, which made me feel so comfortable! I would highly recommend Jack and will definitely use him again!”
“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.”
“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.
About: I have had dogs in my life since childhood. I can't imagine life without them. As my senior dog ages, I see myself caring for others pets. I work part time when it fits my schedule. I am pursuing petsitting, especially dog walking, to up my daily excercise and meet new dogs. I have a senior hound mix who I have had for 7 years. We take a long walk twice a day. She receives her medication during feeding.

“Amanda was a great sitter for our two cats! She provided great daily care in a timely manner and gave us daily updates on how things were going. Even our shy kitty came around/out for Amanda, which is rare! I will definitely be reaching out for any petsitting needs we have in the future. Thank you so much!”

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.”
“Susan does a fantastic job with my cat! Looks after other little things in the house just to make it wonderful to come home and make my cat's life a little better too. He's not mad at me for leaving anymore.”

About: ** UPDATE: I have prided myself on being both affordable and a safe space for your baby, with the raising price of everything especially gas, I have adjusted my rates some to cover costs.** Hi! My name is Amanda V., I am a fulltime fur and non fur Mom, as I have made the jump to make this a full time job! I have two non-fur children ages 10 and 13 , my fur children consist of three kitties babies ages 17-15- 10 and two fluffy doggos ages 5 & 3, and an amazing husband who shares my love of animals. I grew up surrounded by various animals both indoors and outdoors animals. My grandparents owned a farm so I have experience with many farm animals, and growing up we had two dogs, multiple cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, and rabbits. I have helped care for and watch others fur/feathered/scaley babies since as long as I can remember. I am not medically certified in anyway, but have extensive knowledge of medicines, administering medicines, CPR, and First AID. I am constantly researching behavior/training methods, daily food/treat quality, and grooming techniques. My dream has always been to work in the animal care field, especially grooming. I currently own my own pet dryer along with various grooming tools, and if wanted I can obtain the knowledge for grooming your fur baby. As for now we live in town, in a quiet neighborhood, with ample room for your fur baby to join our family if you choose to have me care for them in home. I hope to hear from you soon and meet your fur babies!!! If you have any additional questions please contact me. As of now I am available almost any day at any time. I will be going back to substituting in the afternoons starting in the fall, as the need for long term care is lower once school starts. We are an animal loving home, that is both safe and affordable! I do have crates available if you require one and don’t want to lug yours here.
“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!”
“Kelli was so nice, she really made me feel good about leaving my fur baby in her care. ☺️ Handsome had so much fun, he was knocked out by the time we hit the end of the driveway. Definitely would go to Kelli again and again!”
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.
“Anna, was very friendly ☺️ and patient with Dulce. Our little dog is very spoiled because she's always with us, and leaving her behind was absolutely necessary, but Anna did everything she could to make her feel comfortable and welcome.Thank you again Anna.”
“I left my French Bulldog Bonnie with Juliane for the first time and we had a fantastic experience. Bonnie seemed to have a great time playing with her dog. Juliane was a great communicator giving us updates, and I felt like Bonnie was getting safely looked after. I would highly recommend Juliane for daycare!”
About: I am currently doing Rover part-time, I’m also working 2 other part-time jobs, however, for one of them I get to choose my own schedule. If given enough notice (usually a week) I can take off the days you’d need from one of my jobs, and then just schedule my other around it! I’ve had and taken care of dogs/cats since a young age. I love all animals and caring for them! Ive taken 2 pre-vet classes and would love to have a job working with animals full-time, no matter the job! As of now, I am caring for my 2 cats and leopard gecko! I only work Thurs-Sun, never more than 8 hours + my other job I can pick my own schedule! I am free all other weekdays to be able to take care of your pets! I am no longer able to do house sitting because I now have a baby to take care of, but if they are good with kids and cats, your pet is more than welcome to come stay with us! I prefer having the option to crate in case I need to go out for a bit, but I have taken care of pets who didn’t need one! Your pets are treated as my own when they are here, we take long walks around my apartment complex, I have treats for both cats and dogs, and many toys! Let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions so they can be as healthy and happy as possible

About: Although most of my experience lies in caregiving and sitting for equine/farm owners, I also have lots of experience taking care of household pets! I started letting out close friends/neighbors' dogs when I was about 10 and began staying overnights to take care of pets as soon as I had my license when I turned 16. I have more experience with larger dogs (Pitbulls, labs, Malinois, German Shepards) but have also taken care of some smaller dogs as well. Don't let me forget cats! I love sitting for households with a kitty! Nothing is more fun than playing with toys or even just laying around grooming and brushing a cat. A purr from your cat is one of my favorite sounds. There has never been a time I have not had a dog or cat in my household, currently, I have two German Shepards and two rescue kitties! I can do just about anything you and your pet need; walks, house sitting, baths, playtime, etc. I am currently home for the summer from college and will head back to college on August 27th. Since I just recently got home, I have not finalized my work schedule but I will post that as soon as possible. Anyways, I am a part-time employee so as long as your pet can be alone for a few hours at most my work schedule generally does not conflict with caring for your pet. As a competitive horseback rider, there are a few weekends that I have competitions during the day, but after assessing your pet's needs I can let you know if I am still available to help you and your pet with whatever you both need! Whenever house sitting, dog walking, potty breaks, or even playtime I always make sure to leave my client's home how I found it; clean and secure. I always make sure to follow instructions regarding the security of the home (for example what doors need to be locked/unlocked). I also always make sure the house is in the same condition as before I came as if I was never even there. I would never share keys, passcodes, etc with anyone because that would be a violation of my client's privacy and safety which I respect greatly. My main priority is to leave my clients smiling, and their pets purring or tails wagging!
About: I’ve taken care of dogs ever since I was a kid, and I have experience with taking care of many different breeds, young and old. I love animals and will do everything I can to make yours comfortable and happy. Work is currently slow, so I have the time to give your pets all the attention they need. I am available anytime throughout the week and most weekends. I have two friendly dogs that would love to keep yours company. I do not have a fenced yard, but walk them on my private lane often, and take them to the dog park. My pets get fed twice a day, but I can feed yours as often as you’d like - they also have some treat throughout the day.
About: I have cared for pets my entire life. I had 3 dogs throughout school, and have assisted in training 5 dogs and 3 cats in my life (all of whom I love with my whole heart). I have also always been very good with new animals, and animals seem to like me (even when they "never like anybody"). I'm currently working part-time as I wait for my nursing program to start and figured I could make some extra money doing something I love to do anyways - hanging out with animals! I have enough space to play with your pet in my apartment and have a large, private yard. My yard is not fenced but I assure you I know how to hold a leash so that it cannot be pulled away and I have experience with strong dogs (I had a pit bull and 2 boxers growing up).
About: I have grown up around a variety of dogs, being the neighborhood dog walker and caregiver! As an adult, I am growing my own farm with plenty of animal love! I am so ready to meet some new fur-babies to call family! I am currently a college student, pursuing elementary education and am involved in my church! Reach out and we will make our schedules work! Hear from you soon! I have heard in the past that I leave client’s homes better than they left them! I have no problem cleaning up after your pet and making them feel like the center of attention!
About: I’ve dog sat for some families with 1 dog and others with multiple. I’ve taken care of a dog as young as a little puppy all the way to senior dog. I’ve taken care of dogs with special diets and that need medications. My family has relied on me to walk, feed and bathe their pets. My schedule is currently free for the whole month of April. I’m normally around my friends and family dogs every weekend so I help taking care of them when I’m around. I care for my friends and families dogs by walking them or playing with them in their yard or house. I treat others pets just like my own.

I enjoy working with dogs and plan to continue when I obtain a caseload. I am fluent in reading dog body language and can navigate all dogs' behaviors. Making them feel comfortable is a priority to feel safe and able to have fun.
About: I’ve had pets around me my whole life. Big dogs, small dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs. I have taken care of them for family members while they are gone. They have always been happy to know that I took good care of their pets. I will be going to school for Veterinary Nursing so I feel if you give me a chance to love your animals, it will not only help you but me in the long run. Who wouldn’t love to work with animals? Currently, I work part time and will be a full time college student. I am not available Sundays. Tuesdays, I am 100% available. Thursdays, I am available after 11am.

“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.”
“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”
“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.”
“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!”
“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.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Heather and her family immediately put me at ease. I knew Brady would be in great hands! She sent the sweetest pictures of Brady. He was happy and healthy when I picked him up. Couldn’t ask for more. Thank you!”
“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.”
“Jack was so wonderful and took such good care of my dog! He sent pics and updates every day, which made me feel so comfortable! I would highly recommend Jack and will definitely use him again!”
“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.”
“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.
About: I have had dogs of all sizes my whole life. I have raised and trained two service dogs. We now have a rescue and have gained experience with skittish, anxious dogs. I work full time as an occupational therapist. I am available most weekends for sitting in my home. I also occasionally work weekends and then have days off during the week, so I would be available for limited daytime sitting. I have two friendly labs that are well socialized and love play dates! I would treat your dog as my own. I will follow all instructions to ensure I am meeting your dogs needs.
“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.”
“Ashley did an awesome job accommodating a last minute boarding request. She sent lots of pictures and even took my pup swimming. Our pup came home happy and exhausted from so much playing!”
“Pamela totally saved us with a last minute request! She was very accommodating to my old senior Mochi and was able to arrange a quiet area for him to rest as well as a fenced outdoor area for him to roam. I was a little worried letting someone else watch Mochi since he's old dog ailments and we're from out of town, but Pamela gave me such a peace of mind with her experience with senior dogs and it showed with how great she took care of my ol'boy! I will definitely be back in touch with Pamela next time we're in the area and need a dogsitter :)”
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.
