“Karma loved her visit with Sarah and Ethan. She appeared to have adapted well and will be comfortable when she visits again in December. I highly recommend Sarah as pet sitter.”
“Jessie was great with Oreo. She kept posting us a lot of pictures and we felt connected and were happy knowing that Oreo is happy. Oreo had a great time! Highly recommend her and Jessie would be our first choice when we go on vacations again. Thank you Jessie!”
“As always, Lejune was amazing. She treats our boy like family. She is wonderful with updates. Rowan is literally smiling in the photos she sends. We are able to enjoy our time away without worry when he's with her. She's a treasure and we're so lucky to have her as a safe space for our boy.”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“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.”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“My daughter has a very nervous and timid dog plus my dog is my baby. I was worried Captain would shut down suddenly being with new people and a new environment for 8 days. Donna and Scott did great with him and made him feel welcome and safe. My dog, Cooper, loves everyone so I knew he would b OK and it would just b me missing him. They loved on him so much it was great! They sent multiple pics and sent me updates once or twice a day. Anytime I ever need a pet sitter again I won't hesitate to contact them immediately!!! Thanks for taking such good care of our babies!!! ???????”
“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!”
“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!”
“Clover had a great time with Kelsie and her kids. She got to go on some outings, play at the house, and have lots of snuggle time which she loves. I would definitely recommend and would bring Clover back if I was in the area!”
“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 have grown up with pets of all kinds my whole life. I have owned dogs, cats, small reptiles, rabbits, fish. I have over 25 years of Petcare/animal experience. I have professionally cared for animals for 15 years. I have worked in Petcare in a pet store caring for the in-store animals: fish, reptiles, amphibians, birds, pockets pets, insects. I have volunteered at an animal shelter. I have worked my adult career in a primary veterinary clinic, and a specialty veterinary referral hospital. I have lots of experience with cats and dogs. I have pet sat for many friends and family. I have personally rescued several senior pets- cats and dogs, and I am very comfortable with medication administration, physical ambulatory assistance, and incontinence support. I have established and maintained many personal aquarium & terrariums of my own, as well as for family & friends. I have my weekends open for time to spend and company to give for a sweet pet in need of some special attention while their owners take care of some things. I work full time at a veterinary referral hospital and am available Saturday-Sunday (all day), and currently Monday & Tuesday, and Thursday Evenings. I offer bed boarding (over nights) & day care ( 9am- 9pm) in my home on Saturday and Sundays. I offer pet walking & drop-in pet sitting services Sat. & Sunday (all day, after 10am). I am also available Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings after 5:30pm for dog walks and drop-in pet visits. Please message me with ANY questions!! : ) I live with a senior dog, and 2 cats. They are all spayed/neutered, nails trimmed, and fully vaccinated. My cats keep to themselves, and my senior Cavvie, Frannie LOVES the company of other dogs!!❤️ I have a fenced in back yard, and I am only a minute walk away from a big community park.
“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“Adrienne went above and beyond for us during an extended trip, even picking up our custom dog food order when we forgot to leave enough for the pups during their stay. Highly recommend!”
“This was our second time having John and Jess watch our pup! They are the best sitters by far!! They sent multiple videos and photos throughout the day where we saw our dog having so much fun. We went camping for a few days without reception and I had zero worries that they were taking great care of our pup. When we got spots of reception, they were very quick to check in and it was so relieving to have lots of videos and updates waiting for us. Chance LOVES them and their puppies so much! He was so excited to see them again. He can’t wait for his next vacation stay with John and Jess!”
“The whole family was amazing towards sascha and so caring and gentle with her. She was beyond scared and they took their time and made her feel welcome even when she was anxious and so forth. I cant recommend them enough, they are the family you want watching your dog.”
“Once again Joel and Janelle treat our 2 boys like family. This time a dog pool was included and the most adorable pictures of our old man Cooper and baby boy Briggs! Being relatively new to NOVA- we feel so blessed we found this precious husband and wife team! Beautiful place and nothing but love ❤️”
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.

“Christina was lovely with our two cats and even provided medication and let us know when we had an ant problem while we are gone! Great sitter who loves animals! 🐈⬛🐾🖤”
“As always, a wonderful job! I appreciate how Angela cares for our fur babies including handling the medicine and other special needs. Her daily reports are detailed and informative. 10/10 would recommend.”
“Sarah has been taking care of my Charlie and Fiona since early summer. Usually, this is weekly Drop-In Visits, but recently I boarded Charlie dog with her for over two weeks while she made daily Drop-Ins for Fiona cat. Charlie was already familiar with Sarah’s home and friends with another of her frequent canine guests. He had a wonderful vacation with lots of treats and attention from Sarah’s family. Friendly Fiona benefited from daily social interaction with Sarah and was especially affectionate with her son. I myself was able to have an amazing trip knowing my animal family was in the best possible hands back home. Sarah is my Number 1 Rover Sitter!”
“I seriously can’t recommend Cari enough! I was so nervous about leaving my cats because they’re both pretty shy with new people, but they ended up loving her. Seeing them so comfortable with someone they had just met says everything about how kind and patient she is. This trip was pretty hard for me because my boy, was recently diagnosed with oral cancer, so leaving him was honestly really stressful. He needs medication and some extra attention right now, and I was worried the whole time leading up to my trip. Cari took such great care of him, made sure he got his medicine, and kept me updated, which helped so much with that stress. For the first time in a while, I was actually able to focus on my work trip instead of constantly worrying about my cats. Coming home to two happy, relaxed kitties was the best feeling. Thank you so much, Cari, for taking such amazing care of them. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with you again, and I know my cats would be excited to see you too!”
“Charlotte was the sweetest and friendliest person I have met. She took great care of my kitties while me and my boyfriend were on vacation. She was even willing to come in for an additional day when a problem had popped up suddenly during our trip. My one cat who is more on the skittish side had even warmed up to her. I will be booking Ms.charlotte for our next vacation!”
“Corrinna did a wonderful job caring for our cat while we were away this week. Coming home, it was clear that our cat had been well cared for, happy to see us, but relaxed and content, which tells us all of her needs were met while we were gone. It gave us great peace of mind knowing our pet was in such good hands. We truly appreciate Corrinna’s care, reliability, and attention, and we would happily recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!”
“Katherine did a good job watching my cat and I will be using her againg in the future. She always sent me some pictures and kept me informed if there is any issue. ”
“Amber is a great person that is kind and caring. This is the first time I have left my cats with someone that isn’t family; she definitely made the experience positive and I know I will be calling her in the future.”
“Deann was wonderful to check on our kitties for a weekend trip. We extended our stay away and she was accommodating and willing to cover down the extra time! We so greatly appreciated not having to rush home. She communicated frequently and even had interactions with our shyest cat that I assumed would hide the whole time. We look forward to having her in our home again to care for our brood.”
“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: I have personally owned cats for the past 20+ years. I rescued my first cat Amos, as a stray kitten. He was my first pet that I had on my own after moving into my first apartment. We spent 17 wonderful years together. I have since rescued many other pets, including senior cats and I am very comfortable with medication administration, physical ambulatory assistance, and incontinence support. I currently have 2 cats: 7 year old siblings, Henry & Dinah - also 2 stray kittens dropped off at my old farmhouse.
“Natalie is fantastic! Very communicative and I could tell from the questions she asked that she was going to provide great care to my cats on her drop-in visit. Everything went smoothly and I will definitely rebook!”
“I have booked Veronica several times and I am so happy with the service she provides! She always goes above and beyond for my babies. I hate leaving them behind but it is always so relieving knowing that they have an awesome sitter looking after them while I am away! I highly recommend booking with Veronica to look after your fur babies, she is an excellent communicator, reliable and will treat your babies like they are her own!”
“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.”

“Lejune provided soooo many pictures and updates, she made me feel like I was there every moment. Fiona haf a blast and was ready for bedtime by the time we came to pick her up. Great service and will definitely come back when I’m in the area again.”
“Charlie is really good with my dog Bailey. He helped socialize her with the other dogs for me. She’s always happy to get there. She’s fed and well taken care of there.”
“Rosa did an excellent job taking care of my boy, she took him outside on plenty of walks, fed him the exact right amount, and sent me pictures throughout the day! I would highly recommend her to anybody who needs care for their pet.”
“I'm so happy to have found Kelli! My 3.5 month old puppy, Luna, got to meet cows, played with a variety of other dogs, and went swimming for the first time! Kelli provided lots of photos and updates - Luna clearly had the best time of her life! I'll absolutely use Kelli again when needed.”
“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.”
About: I have experience, taking care of cats, dogs, and chickens. I am willing to take care of smaller animals, such as hamsters, birds or guinea pigs as well. During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times. I have a fenced in yard that’s big enough for dogs to get some exercise. I have two kids who enjoy seeing and meeting new animals.
About: Although we are new to the area, we are definitely not new to caring for dogs. We recently purchased the well-known dog kennel in Smithsburg and are in the process of restoring it. Parts of the kennel are already fully functional, and we’re excited to begin welcoming dogs while we continue improving the property. It’s a place many people in the community already know, and we feel lucky to be able to carry on its history. Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I grew up with them and honestly can’t remember a time when I didn’t love being around them. That same love has followed me into adulthood. Over the years I’ve naturally become the neighborhood go-to pet sitter. Friends, neighbors, and family have trusted me with their pets for years, and I always care for them the same way I care for my own dogs — with patience, attention, and lots of affection. One of the things I’m most proud of is the therapy work I did with my dog. I trained and certified her as a therapy dog, and for 10 years we volunteered together in hospitals and nursing homes. That experience actually inspired my career path, and I went on to become a certified occupational therapist. My sweet therapy dog has since passed away after a long and wonderful life. She was incredibly special to me. I’m now starting that journey again with my new puppy, Merango, and hope to continue therapy work in the future. Right now I’m taking some time away from my occupational therapy work to focus on renovating and restarting the kennel. It’s something I’ve always dreamed about doing, and I’m excited to bring new life to a place that so many people in the community already know. I also have experience caring for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including giving medications like insulin injections. Our property has large outdoor fenced runs that give dogs plenty of space to move around and enjoy the fresh air in a quiet farm setting. injections. I’m currently focused on renovating and restoring the kennel property, which allows me to be home most of the day and provide consistent supervision and care for the dogs staying with us. We are early risers in our home and typically start the day around 7 AM with potty breaks and breakfast. Mornings are usually spent outside enjoying the property — going on walks around our 20-acre farm or spending time in the fenced runs while I do morning chores. Around lunchtime everyone, animals included, usually settles in for a quiet rest period. I check that everyone has fresh water and food if needed before nap time. In the mid-afternoon we head back outside for more activity. Depending on the dog, this may include running in the fenced fields, exploring the property on a guided walk, or simply relaxing in the fresh air. Dinner is around 6 PM, followed by a calm evening inside. We finish the day with a final potty break and check-in before bedtime around 9 PM. My goal is to give dogs a peaceful farm stay with plenty of space to move, fresh air, and a consistent routine so they feel comfortable and relaxed while they’re away from home I understand how much trust it takes to leave your dog in someone else’s care. When I first started using Rover for my own dogs, I remember feeling nervous too. I always appreciated sitters who kept me updated, so I make a point to do the same. I’m happy to send photos and updates so you can see how your dog is doing and feel confident they’re happy and well cared for. On our property, dogs have access to spacious individual indoor/outdoor kennel runs where they can relax comfortably. We also have several large fenced areas where dogs can safely run, play, and explore. Safety is always my top priority, and dogs are supervised during outdoor time to make sure everyone stays happy and secure
About: Experienced, reliable sitter with multiple repeat clients. I prioritize safety, structure, and lots of love. Animals have always been a part of my life whether it’s caring for my own pets or helping friends and family with theirs. I bring a calm, nurturing energy that pets respond to naturally, and I treat every animal like they’re my own. What sets me apart is my attention to detail, reliability, and the extra love I give whether it’s sticking to a pet’s specific routine, sending thoughtful updates, or taking time to build trust with shy or anxious pets. I understand how important it is to feel confident your pet is in good hands, and I go out of my way to make sure both you and your pet feel completely at ease. I work full-time from home, which gives me the flexibility to provide attentive and consistent care throughout the day. My mornings start with taking my three children to daycare and school, after which I return home to begin my desk job. This setup allows me to check in on pets regularly, provide companionship, and stick to feeding, walking, or playtime schedules with ease. In the evenings, I do take my children to sports practices during the week, and when appropriate, I’m happy to bring pets along for a change of scenery and extra attention. Overall, my routine is structured yet flexible, and I’m committed to making your pet feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, my top priority is creating a safe, calm, and loving environment that meets your pet’s needs and routine. In my home, pets are treated like family. They’ll have a cozy, clean space, plenty of attention, and time for play, rest, and outdoor breaks as needed. I keep a consistent routine and ensure they feel comfortable, especially if they’re away from their usual environment.

Let me know if your pet has any allergies or dietary restrictions so they can be as healthy and happy as possible

As a lifelong animal lover and pet owner myself, I understand that pets are family, and I treat them as if they were my own. I have experience caring for pets of all ages, from energetic puppies and kittens to senior pets who need extra patience, comfort, and attention. I’m comfortable adapting to each pet’s unique personality and routine, whether that means playtime and enrichment for younger pets or providing a calm, nurturing environment for older companions! I believe in building trust with both pets and their owners through reliability, communication, and compassionate care.

“Hannah did a great job once Fitz got settled she said he was great and he seemed like he had a great time when he got home he wanted to relax cause he had a blast with the other dogs and Hannah”
About: Hi! My name is April. After growing up around dogs, my husband and I decided to get our first dog-a Hurricane Katrina rescue-as soon as we got married! Having a love for dogs evolved into a partnership with a local rescue in which I've volunteered for transport, adoption home visits, adoption follow up, and fostering. 3 dogs later-I enjoy walking the dogs around the farm, car rides(with drive thrus for pup treats of course!), and cuddling on the couch(our dogs know how to nap!). My friends know that my house is the "dog house" and that their dogs are welcome to come have fun and hang out too! I tend to be the "go to" friend when someone needs a pet sitter:) I specialize in special needs and geriatric care.
“They are just the best. They made diesel feel a part of their family. He got in the truck so excited everyday go see his new friends. He was clean, fed, and all smiles. I'm booking them again this week for a conference. 11/10 recommend.”

Quality time and detailed care are my specialty. I will love your pet like my own. I am very detail oriented. Whatever they need, I can help.
“Jackie did an awesome job with our dog Molly. Molly had back surgery in Nov2016 with surgeon recommend restrictions of no jumping on or off furniture and no more than three stairs. Jackie accommodated that concern and ensured that Molly had a good day. The meet and greet ahead of time went very well and communication during Molly's stay was good. I will use Jackie again.”
“We took Finn over to Arlene’s for the first time yesterday to spend the day (after our meet and greet a couple of weeks prior). We picked him up from Arlene and she told me that I t took a little time (an hour) to get him to settle down, but after that he had a full day of play with the other 2 dogs that were there. From looking at the photos, I could tell Finn had the most enjoyable day! (He’s an only dog.) We plan on going out of town and I’m so happy to find someone that we feel comfortable leaving him with. Anyone that is interested in finding a great dog person Arlene is the one! She took several photos and I could tell Finn was in his happy place. ❤️”

About: I LOVE DOGS!! What more can I say? I have had dogs in my family, of my own and taken care of family dogs practically since I was born. I've been around dogs of all shapes and sizes and love all of them, no matter what! I have had experience with special diets, dog walking and even diabetic dogs (using diabetic test strips and glucometer). Sometimes I like to think of myself as a dog whisperer: I can get along with all dogs and read what they need or want. I'm also great at helping dogs to heal or get over their fears! I especially love giving and receiving loves (hugs, kisses and lots of cuddles and petting)! Give me your doggie babies! :D I would love to take care of them!

During the summer, I am home most days of the week. I am a full time teacher so I am off during the summer. Therefore I am very reliable and flexible with times.

About: Hello, I’m Kirsten. I have been actively dog sitting for the last 5 years in and around thurmont and the surrounding areas. (Mount airy, woodbine, Frederick, smithsburg, Hagerstown. etc) I do both overnights in your home and boarding opportunities in our home. I can work from home most days which allows a very flexible schedule. I am willing to accommodate for what ever needs are present and will make sure your pet is well taken care of. Thanks for your consideration ! I work full time, I can provide care before and after work. I also have the flexibility to work from home as needed. Thank you! I do have a fenced in yard, no restrictions at my home as far as where the dog can go, they can sleep in my bed if they would like.
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! That means I still have plenty of availability during weekdays and weekends for drop-ins, walks, and pet sitting. I'm happy to work with your schedule and provide consistent care for your pets while you're away or at work. Feel free to reach out with any questions or requests—I’d love to help! I take safety and trust seriously and always aim to make both pets and their owners feel at ease. I care for pets in their own home to help maintain their routine and comfort, which I know is especially important for animals who may get anxious in unfamiliar environments. 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.
About: I grew up caring, training and assisting in raising German Shepherds since I was 5 yrs old. I trained my first German Shepherd at age 11 and placed second in obedience and showmanship competition. Have also grown up with having a cat. Been in charge of taking care of neighbors dogs, cats, horses and cows since I was 12. Throughout the years I have taken care of dogs from birth to elderly. I also have one year of experience working at a vet clinic and have been a certified barn manager (I didn't pay to renew my certification). Thus, I am familiar with various care and prevention strategies for all kinds of animals. I am currently an occupational therapist; thus, I am mainly available on the weekends with a semi-flexible schedule. Reach out to me and we will discuss the details and see if there is something that can work for both of us. If I am unavailable for the weekend, I try to have it updated on my calendar. In taking dogs on walks I am careful to avoid walking near other dogs and observe surroundings that may cause an issue. I also pay attention to behavior factors such if the dog is showing beginning signs of getting hot or tired.

“Karma loved her visit with Sarah and Ethan. She appeared to have adapted well and will be comfortable when she visits again in December. I highly recommend Sarah as pet sitter.”
“Jessie was great with Oreo. She kept posting us a lot of pictures and we felt connected and were happy knowing that Oreo is happy. Oreo had a great time! Highly recommend her and Jessie would be our first choice when we go on vacations again. Thank you Jessie!”
“Renee and her husband were great sitters for our 18-month old, very anxious rescue dog. They were very accommodating - we needed to adjust dates and they were fine with that. Maggie had a great time with them - they gave her time to feel confident and comfortable before introducing her to the other dogs in their household. I received a picture and a happy update each day of Maggie's stay. They were comfortable administering Maggie's daily medicine.”
“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.”
“Melissa and her family were such a great place for Harper. She was able to spend time outside and off leash, as well as cozy up to the boys on the sofa - all of her favorite things.”
“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!”
“Clover had a great time with Kelsie and her kids. She got to go on some outings, play at the house, and have lots of snuggle time which she loves. I would definitely recommend and would bring Clover back if I was in the area!”
“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.”

“Terri was absolutely wonderful. She let us do a meet & greet before leaving my pups which really gave me peace of mind. She had a nice & clean environment. Daily reassurance of how they have been doing along with a ton of pictures and to top it of she was so kind to gift them some new toys to keep!”
“The whole family was amazing towards sascha and so caring and gentle with her. She was beyond scared and they took their time and made her feel welcome even when she was anxious and so forth. I cant recommend them enough, they are the family you want watching your dog.”
“Once again Joel and Janelle treat our 2 boys like family. This time a dog pool was included and the most adorable pictures of our old man Cooper and baby boy Briggs! Being relatively new to NOVA- we feel so blessed we found this precious husband and wife team! Beautiful place and nothing but love ❤️”
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.
“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.”
“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!”
“Went out of town for 5 days and my Irma got to spend the time with Sandra. Once we pulled onto Sandra’s street Irma knew where we were. Sandra is amazing and the only one I would go to if I were heading out of town. Glad she’s back sitting pups!”
“Annette is the best! I actually hesitate to leave a review because I don't want all of her spaces to fill up! Your dog will be welcomed into the fold and Annette will ask you about - and then pay attention to - their needs. She has been fostering for so long, she has literally seen everything – and can deal with everything. Teddy had a great time, and I left with new insights into her behaviors. Annette is a gem.”
