“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...!”

“Charlie was wonderful as always. I never worry about my pup when she stays with him. Shes very much a baby, and im grateful he takes such good care of her! Whenever I say, do you want to go to Charlie's? She runs to the car. I feel relieved that she is so comfortable with him and that he takes such great care of her.”

“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.”

“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!”

“Diana took amazing care of our girl! Who is VERY high energy and loves to play. She sent us videos every day of them playing fetch and/or on walks in the fields. We love that Diana is comfortable and familiar with using an e collar and can have Bella off leash. Bella can’t wait to go back! 🥰”


“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!”

“Our elder rescued pups spent an overnight and most of the next day with Sue and Bob. It's a wonderful environment for pets and our girls Heidi and Scruffy had a wonderful time. I would not hesitate to board with Sue again in the future!”

“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.”

“Took great care of our Roxy. She enjoyed the socialization, was tired when we got home, which is why we know she enjoyed it. Appreciated the communication, was very helpful as this was new to us.”

“Donna and Scott are AMAZING. We needed a last minute sitter and they welcomed our pup with open arms. Our dog is very nervous and barked when he arrived, but Donna and Scott knew exactly what to do to make him feel comfortable and at home. They sent multiple pictures of our dog at their house, and I had no doubt he was in the best hands. Thank you again for your flexibility, patience, and love for our dog!”

“Lejune always treats our boy like he's her own. We never have any worries, and he loves playing with her son and their pupper. She's worth every penny. She noticed Rowan had itchy paws and got him some meds, played in the kiddy pool, and sent great updates and photos. We dont use anyone else.”

“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.”

“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!”

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.
“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!”

“Briana was extremely quick to respond to our last minute request. She provided updates and photos throughout our pup’s stay with her and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Even after getting stuck in traffic and getting there late Briana was helpful and did not have any issues with our late arrival. We would highly recommend Briana to anyone in the area needing someone to watch their pups.”

“Hailey and Jacob to the rescue! Our sitter came down with an illness a day before my wife and I were heading out of town. We were in scramble mode. Thankfully, Hailey had an opening. Her and her husband took very good care of dogs and gave extra attention to my pup with an eye injury. Hailey sent messages and pictures throughout the stay. Awesome family! 5 Stars!”

We would absolutely book Logan again and highly recommend here to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring pet sitter. Thank you so much, Logan!”
About: I have cared for dogs and cats ever since I was 13, family members and friends relied on me to feed, walk, play, and give medicine to their dogs and cats. I do have a full time job but do have a lot of flexibility. I’m also a night owl and also a morning person as well so late and morning hours do not bother me. I make sure to ask questions about the specifics of my clients pets, ask is there is any special care. I make sure when I let the dogs out I am outside with them no matter the weather. That way they have a watchful on them. I am always aware of my surroundings when I walk dogs. While the clients dog may be friendly, not every other dog is. So when I got for walks I do steer clear of other dogs out being walked.

“My dog loves to stay at Danny's house. This has been such a help since my doggy day care closed. Keeps me informed and sends pictures. I'd recommend him as an excellent care giver.”

“Susan and Robert are very kind, responsible and reliable. When we first met them, they made us feel comfortable right away. Benny (their dog) is the sweetest puppy and welcomed Pepper into his space immediately. This was the first time we left Pepper under the care of someone other than the veterinarian. After this first experience, we plan to call Susan and Robert again when we may need someone to sit Pepper. Thank Susan, Robert and Rover!”

“First off, Nadia is the sweetest! She is very knowledgeable about dogs and by speaking with her you learn she has our dog’s best interest at heart. We wanted daycare on days we both worked overnight and Nadia is very flexible. This was Daisy first ever day/time away from us and we woke up to so many updates and pictures….not sure how we got so lucky.”

I’ve grown up with dogs my entire life and currently have a 6-year-old Golden Retriever named Harley, who keeps me active and smiling every day. Before moving back to the Lehigh valley area I had a client where I handled walks, feeding, playtime, and even vet appointments — so your pup is always in capable, caring hands. I graduated from Wilson College in May 2025 with a Bachelor of Science specializing in Equine Studies, giving me a strong background in animal care, behavior, and responsibility. I truly understand that dogs are family — my own dog is my best friend — and I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own. I’d love to give your dog safe, loving, and dependable care while you’re away. Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine. I’m currently in between jobs, which allows me a very flexible schedule and plenty of availability for walks, drop-ins, and extended care. I currently work at a horse boarding and training farm in orfield Monday-wednesday as well as a small private farm Friday-Sunday. Working with large animals everyday has taught me a lot from prioritizing their needs, learning their behaviors, and meeting expectations to keep them healthy and happy. Because of this, I’m able to prioritize pets in my care and adjust my routine to meet their individual needs. Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I follow the pet’s normal routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. I make sure doors, gates, leashes, and feeding instructions are always double-checked, and I keep a close eye on pets during walks and playtime. I take time to understand each dog’s personality, energy level, and any special needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all care instructions exactly. In my home, dogs are supervised, have a calm, clean environment, and receive plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment. I’m comfortable administering basic care, transporting pets safely to vet appointments, and providing regular updates so owners feel confident and informed. I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, consistency, and lots of love.

“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...!”

“Charlie was wonderful as always. I never worry about my pup when she stays with him. Shes very much a baby, and im grateful he takes such good care of her! Whenever I say, do you want to go to Charlie's? She runs to the car. I feel relieved that she is so comfortable with him and that he takes such great care of her.”

“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.”

“Diana took amazing care of our girl! Who is VERY high energy and loves to play. She sent us videos every day of them playing fetch and/or on walks in the fields. We love that Diana is comfortable and familiar with using an e collar and can have Bella off leash. Bella can’t wait to go back! 🥰”


“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!”

“Our elder rescued pups spent an overnight and most of the next day with Sue and Bob. It's a wonderful environment for pets and our girls Heidi and Scruffy had a wonderful time. I would not hesitate to board with Sue again in the future!”

“Took great care of our Roxy. She enjoyed the socialization, was tired when we got home, which is why we know she enjoyed it. Appreciated the communication, was very helpful as this was new to us.”

“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.”

“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!”

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.
“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!”

“Briana was extremely quick to respond to our last minute request. She provided updates and photos throughout our pup’s stay with her and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Even after getting stuck in traffic and getting there late Briana was helpful and did not have any issues with our late arrival. We would highly recommend Briana to anyone in the area needing someone to watch their pups.”

“Hailey and Jacob to the rescue! Our sitter came down with an illness a day before my wife and I were heading out of town. We were in scramble mode. Thankfully, Hailey had an opening. Her and her husband took very good care of dogs and gave extra attention to my pup with an eye injury. Hailey sent messages and pictures throughout the stay. Awesome family! 5 Stars!”

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.
“Sastuki was excellent with our two dogs! She handled our very anxious older dog incredibly well and was very patient with our younger dog who is still full of puppy energy. She gave us many regular updates and pictures throughout the stay. Overall, she was an excellent sitter and we would definitely use her again!”

“My golden retriever was living her best life. Sandra is absolutely amazing. Her love for dogs is unmatched. I recieved so many videos and picture updates and had great communication the entire stay. Thank you so much for everything”

“We were nervous leaving our 9 month old golden puppy with a sitter for the first time. Ashley was amazing. We did a meet-and-greet before the stay. It was nice seeing her house, huge backyard, and meeting her friendly dogs. Her communication top notch . We got lots of photos, videos and updates during his stay. He had a blast! The whole process significantly exceeded our expectations. We will definitely ask her take care of our puppy again.”

“Lynn was incredible! She kept our pup happy, healthy and safe and we know he got plenty of exercise and love which we truly appreciate. Anyone looking for an excellent pet sitter, look no further! :)”
