Highly-rated overnight sitters - Saxton
“Mira absolutely loved her stay with them. They were very welcoming and answered any questions that we had. They provided steady updates/pictures and were understanding of the fact that she’s a puppy and still learning. We would 100% recommend them to anyone!”
“Michelle (and her family) were great with taking my dog (Great Dane) very last minute for a few days. They treated my pup like he was their own, kept me up to date and made me feel comfortable with him there as this was our first time having to take our dog to someone outside our family. I would highly recommend Michelle.”
About: I'm a loving dog mom of 3 rescue pups: Hunter 14 yrs old, Huey and Harry both 2 yrs old with 40 years of experience. I'm a full time remote employee allowing me to be available to tend to my dogs and Rover guests as needed 24/7. Belly rub breaks are part of my work-life balance. I have a large fenced yard and three friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. I can easily crate my pups or yours if needed.
About: I say I have 10 years of pet care experience just based off of having my own dog and dog sitting other dogs. I have worked in an animal shelter in the past as well. I also had rescued a pitbull boxer who we had recently had to put down. I also have a 10 month old lab puppy, and 2 cats! I would love to have her to have someone to play with at home every once in a while. I will only be working possibly 15 to 20 hours a week at my other job. Possibly less if I have more clients with pets to watch. So I’m gonna try to keep my hours per day that I work to five hours so then I can try to be at home with the dogs a lot more. I would like to try to be outside playing or going on walks. Also cleaning up after the dog outside and or if they have an accident in the house.

About: Hi there! My name is Lexie, i am 25 years old and I am well experienced with dogs specifically because I used to be a dog groomer! Pets in general have always been a loving passion of mine and i love making them pretty, safe, and loved. I specifically love petsitting, making sure they’re cared for and safe all while having fun with them. I myself own two bulldogs as well as a bearded dragon, therefore im familar and experienced with all different types of animals. No scales or different types of pets would scare me. While i am a server at a local restaurant, i still have plently of availability to tend to your pet! With having Sundays and Mondays off, and only working in the evenings on most other nights makes it really easy to be around the majority of the time sith your beloved pet.

My goal is for us to always be safe and comfortable while still having a blast. Daily walks and one on one time with the pets are extremely important to me as I never want a pet to feel anxious or scared while you’re away. I also keep a written planner with up to date information of everything i need to know about the animals as well as scheduled feedings, medicines, appointments, etc.

Perfect for high energy dogs - Saxton
“Watson had a great experience with Mike and his crew. I was looking for a sitter to keep watch of Watson for an afternoon while I explored the mountain bike trails at Raystown lake. Mike lives super super close to the trailhead so that was very convenient. He took great care of Watson giving him multiple walks and kept me informed with regular updates. Will definitely be reaching out to Mike next time I am back to the area.”
“Kayla was very friendly and helpful in setting up some time for Jax to stay with her and Jax seemed to have a good time at her home. He even got to meet a cat for the first time. I plan on scheduling more daycare visits as well as other services with Kayla.”
“Michelle and her husband were friendly, easy to communicate with, and provided our pups with an enjoyable day. They are high-energy dogs, but must have been pretty worn out from all the playtime they got since they went right to sleep in the car when we picked them up.”
“Both of our beagles seemed very comfortable with Allie and her husband right away. Allie sent us pictures and updates showing they were happy and well taken care of. She was flexible and receptive to changing the booking times for drop off and pick up when our plans changed. We will definitely be using her services again.”

Please do not hesitate to ask about my experience or any other questions you may have. I have a full time job in healthcare and am usually off Friday to Sunday while the other days vary a little bit. I update my availability regularly. I have two dogs who are friendly and love to play. They interact with big and small dogs well. As far dog walking and visits, I treat your place like my own.

I have a dachshund and she is very nice towards animals and people so if I were to house sit she would also be very welcoming.

I can offer a relaxing atmosphere and all day care on weekends along with morning and afternoon care on week days. I can also board or do drop-in visits for fish, hamsters, or horses. Your dog will love a relaxing mountain retreat! Your cat can enjoy a quiet vacation! I work full time as a teacher. I can board your pet all weekends or in the afternoons.

I am available for dog walks or drop-in visits any day in the afternoon or evening in the Chambersburg, Gettysburg, and Hagerstown areas. Your pet would live only with me in a private guest house. We have 300 acres to go for walks or chase balls! My husband and 9 cats live in the main house. Our cats don’t mind other animals but I can keep your pet away from the cats if you prefer. As a 15 year high school teacher, I am very trustworthy, authentic, and kind. I admit to being a bit of a “crazy animal person” as I try to pet every animal I see! I can be trusted with your animal for an extended time or just an afternoon walk! I can also board hamsters or horses.
