“Sarah was wonderful about sending pictures and updates every day! She took great care of our little one and our puppy seemed very happy there. Thank you so much, Sarah, for treating her like family and taking great care of her. Will definitely book again!”
“Our dogs, Homer and Bella absolutely lived staying with Charlie and his family. They liked it so much I was worried as to whether they would want to come back home with us. They had a HUGE yard to play in, a number of other great dogs to romp around with, two of which are Charlie’s, the rest were visitors as well. Charlie did a great job keeping us up to date with frequent updates, pictures and videos. Knowing our fur babies were being so well taken care of made our vacation get away so much more enjoyable. Ae will definitely be using Charlie and Rover again in the future.”
“Rose was wonderful with Baxter! He was one happy puppy playing with Nola and taking walks with Rose. He was giving kisses when he left. We have already booked our second visit with Rose! She is awesome and I strongly recommend her!”
“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!”
“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.”
“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.”
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.
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
“Very happy with this dynamite duo- beautiful property- huge flat yard, updates throughout stay and overall just kind people! ❤️ They pointed out a lump on our Senior Golden (he has several) which lets us know the boys are getting their rubs in!”
“Emily was great and handled our 100 pound Doberman effortlessly. I never felt so comfortable going out of town. Our Doberman Zeus is cautious of new people and immediately loved Emily. She took him on long walks everyday and sent pictures. We will definitely be boarding him again with Emily.”
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.
“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!”
“Our lil Lilibet just had her first overnighter with Briana’s family, or anyone actually, and she very well may have not missed us at all! It was that special for her. Briana treated our previous girl as if she was her own. We are so pleased to have such a wonderful surrogate mommy for our lil girl!”
“We’ve had Diane as our carer for our dog for over 6 months and she’s amazing in every way a sitter could be… and More!!! Anyone who choose her will be as blessed as us and will continue with her for sure. She loves our boy and cares for him as if he were her own. We will continue with her always! He’s made friends there and is happy there as soon as she sees Diane, so we all are pleased and it’s his vacation spot!!!”
“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.”
“Catherine and her family are by far the best pet sitters we’ve found, outside of family and close friends. There are not enough superlatives to express our gratitude! for the love and care they show our beloved Harry!!!! Catherine is always willing to go the extra mile and make sure Harry receives all the cuddles he deserves and more! To quote Tina Turner, she’s “Simply the BEST!!! 💖💖💖”

“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.”
“Corrinna was watching our four babies for the first time and she went above and beyond what we expected to keep them safe and happy! We have four cats and three of them prefer to be outside as they came to us as strays. Since it was so cold the week we were away she tried her best to keep them in, even going out another door to close the door that has a cat door in it.. lol I thought that was a great idea. She worried and took care of them like her own including lots of pics to ease our mind. We will definitely be asking Corrinna again to watch the kids!”

“Amber did a wonderful job with our pets. The cats especially seemed to warm up to her within a day when they normally take several days to warm up to someone. Her communication was great throughout and she left our house spotless. We would definitely have Amber stay with our pets again.”
“Alexis was awesome! She stopped by on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day to take care of our 3 sweet kitties. She went above and beyond - pet them, played with them, and made sure they were happy! Even our shy furbaby came out to play when Alexis was here. I highly recommend her, we will definitely be reaching out again in the future. Thanks 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.”
“Ashli did a great job dealing with a challenging situation that came up with my cats’ microchip feeders. She was communicative and worked with me to find a solution. I appreciated her willingness to go the extra mile to make sure my kitties would be safe. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her and hope to call on her again.”

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.

“Jackpot was so happy to play with other ACDs! Charlie did a fantastic job at wearing her out. Once I picked her up, she didn’t make a peep for about three hours! Charlie had lots of toys, dog beds, an automatic water bowl, for a hot summer day. I knew Jackpot was in great hands!”

About: I have about 10 years of experience caring for dogs. From working at a doggie daycare, to an animal hospital Ive always found myself caring for other people’s pets. I have been relied on by clients, neighbors, friends and family to take full care & responsibly over their pets. I make sure their pets are happy and comfortable while updating the owners with daily photos! While working in the daycare I got a lot of experience in supervising and caring for multiple dogs, ensuring their safety and well-being, managing playgroups, and cleaning. For working in the vet med side of things I have experience assisting veterinarians and technicians, handling animals for examinations and treatments, administering medications, and providing post-operative care. Along with the broad range of pet-sitting duties, such as feeding, walking, grooming, and providing companionship for various types of animals in different settings. My day starts super early usually with the sound of tiny paws scampering around- that’s my puppy! Pringle. We do many little walks through out the day and our evenings are dedicated to his training, playtime, long walks and cuddles. I prioritize every pets safety by hazard-proofing the environment and meeting their exact needs to make sure they’re comfortable with me and happy in the environment.

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: My wife Jessie and I have been around dogs all our lives. You can trust and rely on us to make sure your dog feels safe, secure, and at home while you are away. We take care of your pets as if they are our own! Unlike kennels and certain doggy daycares, we do not utilize crates or cages. We provide them with extra attention to make them feel at home and relaxed while you are away. This is especially important for dogs with separation anxiety. Being left in kennels or crates all day can leave your dog with heightened anxiety and traumatic stress. When you bring your dog to us you can be assured that we will make them feel at home and treat them as a part of our family while they are here. We will not crate your dogs and leave them like some doggy daycares and kennels, unless you request that they are crated. We will give your dogs the extra attention they need while you are away. I work different days throughout each week, but my wife Jessie is home full-time with the dogs and our kids. So one of us will always be here with them the majority of the time. We pay extra attention to your dogs so they feel at home. Feed them regularly as specified, as well as taking them outside to get exercise at least a few times a day.
“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.”
About: Hi, I'm Suzie and I'll turn 62 this month... That is almost how long that I've been a pet owner from dogs, cats, horses, ponies, chickens cows, peacocks.. I'm also a Registered Nurse who worked critical care for 11 years and have been an RN for 35 years. I'm very comfortable with injections, and giving meds, assessing the animal and knowing when to call a vet. I have a Newfoundland here and a newfie/great dane cross, 3 house cats, and then the rest of the animals outside. The dog yard has a pet door that leads into a small area in my kitchen that is currently fenced off so no one gets free run of the house unless supervised. They can come and go back and forth as much as they want to. My back yard is lined with 4 board fencing that also has American wire in the inside to keep little ones in. I'm currently working flex at the hospital so I'm actually home almost all the time. I have a roommate that helps with the farm and the dogs when I'm not here. I'm a home body so I'm home here almost all the time. I have a 4 board fenced in yard that is also lined on the inside with American wire for my yard and have chains on the gates leading into and out of the yard. My fence is 5 ft high. There is a pet door leading into the kitchen which has a small fenced in area inside the kitchen so that the dogs can be contained just in case they are wet. I allow them into the house once they are dry.
“Arlene welcomed us into her lovely home and we immediately sensed that Sky was in a safe and loving place. It was evident throughout our contacts during the day that Sky was content and receiving good care. We highly recommend Arlene’s services for doggie daycare and will use her again when visiting the New Bern area.”

About: What sets me apart is the genuine love and care I have for every animal I meet!

Outside of work, your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, playtime, and personalized care to help them feel right at home! In My Home: When caring for pets in my home, I strive to create a safe, loving, and stress-free environment where they can feel comfortable and secure. I follow each pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, playtime, and any special instructions provided by their owners! Pets in my care receive plenty of attention, affection, enrichment, and supervision. Whether your pet loves to play, cuddle, or simply relax, I make sure they feel right at home and are treated like part of the family! In Clients’ Homes: When caring for pets in their own homes, I understand how important it is to maintain consistency and respect their familiar environment. I carefully follow all instructions regarding feeding, medications (if needed), walks, playtime, and household routines to help pets feel comfortable while their owners are away. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their furry family members are happy and well cared for. My goal is always to ensure pets feel loved, safe, and cared for in the comfort of their own home!!

About: I'm certified in CPR emergency vet services and have watched dogs in my home for years. If you are working long hours and or regular hours and need someone to take care of your dog while you're at work, I'm the one. Sometimes when we leave our dogs alone at home while we work they can get into a lot of things. They can get bored. They can be destructive and they get very lonely. Most of the clients that I work with have a job work long hours and their dogs at times have torn their house, their furniture or whatever they can find completely up and then they have such a mess when they get home. We love our dogs. We love them more than anything and it's hard to come home like that. So if you're tired of it and need someone to help, I'm the one for you. I'm retired. I have two dogs that are so used to other dogs. They don't get out of my sight. Believe me. I have leashes harnesses beds. Anything they need? Lots of toys and lots of activity. I don't have a fenced-in yard but that's why I take small dogs and I can walk them two to three times a day. Whatever you would like to have done. They are allowed on my furniture and in bed with me if they happen to spend the night. They have full run of the household just like mine does. My two dogs are small and they love other dogs after their first initial visit. My dogs are used to other dogs in my house that are not mine and we all get along. Meet and greets are essential. I love animals of all kinds, but I find that dogs are my ones that I can handle the best. It gives the owner peace of mind knowing that their dog is with someone that will take good care of them. So if you need somebody like me just me know. We'll see what we can work out. Randomly I will be able to watch them overnight. If something happens you have to work late or the weather gets bad and you can't make it to my home. That's not a problem. I've got a big bed and lots of blankets and lots of pillows and lots of dog beds if that's where they like to sleep. 🐾 All dogs must be up to date on shots and flea and tick medicine. All dogs will be checked when they come to my house to make sure that there's no fleas. If they do have fleas then I will bathe them And let you know that they need flea and tick medicine before they return. I have plenty of references if you request. I’m retired and am home all day. I’m prepared ahead of time for hosting dogs. The reason I have a one-day notice is so I can prepare my house with anything I may need so that there is no leaving the dogs by theirself. All pets free roam my home. They get to sleep wherever they are used to. They are fed according to the pet parents instructions. All pets get two to three walks a day .Lots of potty breaks, water provided outside and of course inside. They get lots of hugs and treats if aloud by pet parents.
About: I have been taking care of family and friends pets for over 15 years! I do not have a dog of my own, but love dogs and would love the opportunity to show your dog some love and attention. I live near a dog park and love taking dogs there to run around and play. I work from home several days a week and would love the company and companionship of your dog! I am off on weekends and do not have a busy weekend schedule. The dog would get lots of attention. I do not have a fenced in yard, but I do live in town and have lots of safe areas to walk the dog. Not to mention my town has a dog park!
About: Hi! I’m Emma — a lifelong animal lover and experienced pet sitter. 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.

We have a guest house where I will board your pet, so no need to worry about any interaction with my current pets. 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.

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.

“Sarah was wonderful about sending pictures and updates every day! She took great care of our little one and our puppy seemed very happy there. Thank you so much, Sarah, for treating her like family and taking great care of her. Will definitely book again!”
“Our dogs, Homer and Bella absolutely lived staying with Charlie and his family. They liked it so much I was worried as to whether they would want to come back home with us. They had a HUGE yard to play in, a number of other great dogs to romp around with, two of which are Charlie’s, the rest were visitors as well. Charlie did a great job keeping us up to date with frequent updates, pictures and videos. Knowing our fur babies were being so well taken care of made our vacation get away so much more enjoyable. Ae will definitely be using Charlie and Rover again in the future.”
“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!”
“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.”
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.
“Ellen was just wonderful and I know my dog was in good hands while we were gone. She got to run and play and hike on the farm and Ellen sent pictures and videos. Will absolutely use Ellen again to watch our Bella girl!”
“Very happy with this dynamite duo- beautiful property- huge flat yard, updates throughout stay and overall just kind people! ❤️ They pointed out a lump on our Senior Golden (he has several) which lets us know the boys are getting their rubs in!”
“Emily was great and handled our 100 pound Doberman effortlessly. I never felt so comfortable going out of town. Our Doberman Zeus is cautious of new people and immediately loved Emily. She took him on long walks everyday and sent pictures. We will definitely be boarding him again with Emily.”
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.
“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!”
“Our lil Lilibet just had her first overnighter with Briana’s family, or anyone actually, and she very well may have not missed us at all! It was that special for her. Briana treated our previous girl as if she was her own. We are so pleased to have such a wonderful surrogate mommy for our lil girl!”
“We’ve had Diane as our carer for our dog for over 6 months and she’s amazing in every way a sitter could be… and More!!! Anyone who choose her will be as blessed as us and will continue with her for sure. She loves our boy and cares for him as if he were her own. We will continue with her always! He’s made friends there and is happy there as soon as she sees Diane, so we all are pleased and it’s his vacation spot!!!”
“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.”
“Satsuki was amazing. She watched our 5-month-old husky overnight last minute and made our first boarding experience completely stress-free. She sent photo updates, communicated clearly, and truly went above and beyond to make sure our pup was well cared for. We felt totally comfortable leaving him with her and would absolutely book again. 10/10 recommend.”
“I love Sandra! She kept me update everyday with photos about my Che Che. Che Che enjoyed her time on her mini vacation. I will definitely be using her services again.”
“Ashley was great. My dog was a little nervous at the meet greet. She took it in stride. She was excited to see him on drop off day and sent videos and/or pictures several times each day to update us on how he was doing. He had a blast! We will definitely ask her to care for him again.”
