“5/5 Stars! Fantastic communication and very dependable, especially for a late request. Ash was right on time helping my senior dad with our dog Einstein's walks. When Einstein decided he was done early on his second walk, Ash was so understanding and even refunded a partial amount. We will definitely use her again and Highly Recommend!”
“This is our 2nd time using Kim and she is always excellent with our pup. She provided updates including pictures. Not only is Kim very friendly and personable, she is reliable and flexible which works well for us. Highly recommend and will certainly use her again!”
About: Cats, dogs, critters and reptiles welcome! I have a wide experience of cats and dogs of all ages, from babies to seniors. Rodents, lizards, turtles are also something I’m familiar with! I’ve always had pets in my house growing up. I’ve fostered kittens and volunteered at local animal shelters. I have experienced bottle feedings, house breaking, and senior dogs and handle them all with ease and love. I am currently running my family business and spend most of my weekdays day at home. This allows my weekdays to have flexibility and availability to pet parents who work during the day. My home is located in downtown Frederick and I also have a fenced in backyard. I can easily get to many areas of Frederick quickly and with ease. My pets at home are friendly and welcome guests! We have fostered cats and often have other dogs visit.
“Lauren is such a great walker. She has been very prompt and takes a lot of pictures and gives great feedback. Our dog Gus has had a great time with Lauren and we hope to keep up with his daily walks with Lauren and potentially use her as a sitter for our dog and cat in the future!”
About: Throughout my life I have always had either a cat or dog as pets and have always enjoyed taking care of them. As a dog owner myself, I have a deep appreciation and respect for all breeds which allows me to really bond with them. My patient manner allows them to become comfortable with me very quickly and really provides for a better experience for both myself and the pet being looked after. I have taken care of many different types of breeds and sizes which allows me the knowledge of taking great care of them so you have the peace of mind that your baby is well loved and cared for while away. From puppies to seniors, I am able to handle them all. I am also not shy to dietary restrictions and specific instructions you may have. Hi, I'm Hannah I'm a Frederick local and lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they're my own. A little about me: · Proud Frederick local — I know and love this community. · Pet parent to a Boxer-Border Collie mix, so I'm no stranger to energy, smarts, and big personalities · Animal lover through and through — I've never met a pet I didn't adore. Why book with me: · Trustworthy — you can count on me to be reliable and honest · Responsible — I take your pet's routine, safety, and happiness seriously · Friendly — I'll make sure you and your pet both feel comfortable and cared for · Respectful — of your home, your pet's needs, and your instructions My promise: Your animals will be treated like my own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine, so your pets get consistent, reliable attention. I'm up early every morning — no sleeping in around here. My own dog is usually the reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way. That early start means morning walks, feedings, and drop-in visits are easy for me to work into my day. I'm currently in between jobs and heading back to school, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of open time during the day. Pet care is a great fit for this season of my life — it works around my classes, and it gives me something I genuinely enjoy doing with my time. I'm married, and together we share our home with our own dog — a Boxer-Border Collie mix. We're also hoping to add another dog to the family soon, so I understand the excitement and the responsibility that comes with a full house of animals. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I have the time, the flexibility, and the heart for it. Your pets will get the same care, attention, and routine I give my own. I have a fenced in backyard, walking trails, and plenty of space in my home to host your furry friends. Security system is also active and I am home throughout the day.
“Kristen walked our black lab every day for two weeks while we were on vacation and he absolutely loved her. It was such a relief to know he was well cared for. Kristen sent detailed updates about their walks, which were super helpful, and she was very patient and caring with our dog. We will definitely hire her again.”
About: Hi! I’ve been around animals my whole life and have experience taking care of animals as small as fish to as big as horses. I’ve also taken care of old dogs with special health needs and puppies. Just moved to the area so looking to pick up some new clients as I look for a more full time job. My availability may fluctuate as this happens but I’m happy to work with you as best as I can through any changes! With all pet care I always follow instructions to a T and am quick to notice if something is off with a pet. With overnight sitting I also tend to make sure the house stays neat and pets get lots of attention.
About: I have worked with animals my entire life in both a casual and professional setting. As a teenager I worked with horses, dogs, and cats on a farm providing training and medical care. I have also worked professionally as an animal caretaker in the Frederick/Montgomery County area with many clients including dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, rodents, chickens, ducks, and pigs. I have experience with animals who have specialized needs including medical care and behavioral issues. I currently work as an RN in adolescent psych which takes me away from home all day Sunday-Tuesday so unfortunately those days are unavailable. Otherwise I do pick up overtime here and there so I’m best to cover for one-off needs or a vacation. When I am off of work I can be flexible and I will work with you to accommodate your pets needs. Safety is a top priority of mine. I always ensure I am aware of my surroundings both in the home and on walks. I respect each animal as unique and independent and take the time to ensure not only that I am providing them with lots of love but that I get to know them and their quirks in order to provide them the best care possible.
“Nellie reports much fun was had and she was worn out from a good energetic walk. Anhelika is a pro and will definitely be asking for her to take care of our precious girl again in the future!”
About: I love playing with dogs and taking them for walks or runs. I’ll make sure they have the best days ever! Can’t wait to meet so many dogs. I have off on Thursdays and Sundays and would love to fill my day by spending time with your pups!! I’m available any times during those days. I can come to your house and be sure to watch the dogs all day if needed and make sure they are walked, feed and taken out to the bathroom.
About: I treat every pet like they're part of my own family. I know every dog and cat has a unique personality, so I take the time to learn their routine, preferences, and comfort level to help them feel safe and happy while you're away(๑'ᵕ'๑)⸝* I work part-time, which gives me a flexible schedule to provide dependable pet care throughout the week!! I enjoy spending time with animals and make it a priority to give every pet the attention, love, and care they deserve while their owners are away!! (,; ⩌ ;,) Your pet's safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I'm caring for your pet in my home or yours, I'll follow your routine and care instructions closely to help them feel secure and comfortable. I'll make sure they have fresh food and water, plenty of exercise or playtime, and lots of love and attention٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و ♡
About: Hello, my name is Kaylie and I would like to care for your pet! I have personal pet care experience from owning dogs my whole life. In my whole life, my family has owned three dogs and currently, we have two at home. But I love animals so much and care for them to the best of my abilities. In the last four years, I have done in-home pet care as well as day time care and overnight visits to houses in order to care for the family´s dog. I have watched little dogs to big dogs. Also, I have past babysitting experience where there would be a pet in the home and therefore I cared for it as well with feeding and taking it out on walks throughout the day. I do have a full-time job working out of the house for eight hours a day. I am an early bird though and able to spend lots of time with your pet in the morning before I go to work and in the afternoon right after work and spend the whole night With them. Having pet bookings over the weekend is a great way for me to stay active and spend time with your pets. I am a pet owner and lover myself so I do not board animals in my home just because my partner and I already have six pets at home. I am willing to stay at your home and provide care for your pets so they have the comfort of being home while you are away.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had an amazing experience! My dogs are extremely energetic and can definitely be a handful but Sarah handled them with so much patience, care and confidence. It was such a relief knowing they were in good hands. The communication was great and I could tell my dogs were well taken care of. I truly appreciate the time and effort put into making sure they were happy. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable, caring and patient dog walker. I will absolutely be booking again!
Jennifer was great! She was on time and she asked detailed questions about the overall care and expectations of caring for my dog Nala. She took Nala for a walk and Nala had a great time! Jennifer included photos as well from the walk. We will be using her again in the near future!
Daphine did a great job with my 85 lb Goldendoodle. My dog is a "handful" but Daphine was skilled enough to gain his trust, encourage him into the leash and on a fun walk (in the rain!). My dog was super happy afterward and seemed to really enjoy being with Daphine. We'll definitely use her services in the future.
Ashley is awesome!! She was great with our male lab who is still learning the ropes on the leash. He loves her! She’s warm, friendly, thoughtful - going above and beyond for us. She is definitely an animal lover through and through. You’re in great hands in her care. Highly recommend Ashley!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Applegate. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.

During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .

Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement walker.
