“Adrienne was amazing, especially for filling in at the last minute for another sitter. She sent updates with pictures, and the pets were happy and well cared for when I arrived home!”
“Sophia was incredible. She came to our house and shone as an amazing pet sitter. She had time, experience with pet sitting and she asked all the right questions. She played with our cats and even picked up a bag of chocolate that was on the floor for us which would have been a big hazard. Sophia went above and beyond and did the litter and our cats are very picky. I feel overall the cats were well loved and cared for while we were away which is a great blessing and I’m so glad we booked Sophia to take care of our pet needs. I recommend her 10/10. Thank you Sophia!!!”
“Asia was amazing! She was incredibly communicative, kind, and attentive. She went above and beyond to make sure my pup was well taken care of, and I really appreciated the updates throughout their time together. I would absolutely book with her again!”
“She was amazing! First time having someone watching my baby and she was so understanding. I would 100% ask for her again. She always sending photos and keeping me updated.”
“Devon was great with my kitten with very prompt check-ins. He also provided pictures and plenty of details for each visit. My kitten appeared to enjoy spending time with Devon and he appeared to enjoy interacting with her. Would highly recommend.”
About: 3+ years of dog sitting plus 4 years volunteering at the Humane Society — experience with every breed and age, from tiny pups to gentle giants.

About: I’ve owned dachshunds, mutts, and heelers ever since I was in middle school. With puppy school training and all of that, I have learned to respect and work well with furry dog babies. Looking forward to safely walking your dog all over beautiful downtown Frederick. My day job downtown is very flexible and I set my own schedule. I have many substantial breaks throughout the day on week days..morning and afternoon. I can be flexible and set up specific regular times to walk your dog or make a house visit. Dogs need quality care and attention. They need exercise and to breathe fresh air, just like we humans do. Your dog and I will be able to get out and enjoy the day together outside and/or spend time together inside and receive their daily treats and meals. Lots of love and ear scratches will be had.
About: I used to work for a pet care company called Pet and Home Care. I was a traveling pet care agent for them and I am trained to take care of all kinds of pets. I even took classes through them on what to do if a pet has a medical emergency. I grew up around animals and have a deep love for them and I’m excited to work with your pets :) I’m currently a part time student at FCC and I’m looking for extra work. I have time everyday for visits. I have open availability all day Sunday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday I give fresh water and treats every visit (if treats are allowed). Plenty of pets and attention. I can administer medication and follow special dietary plans. I have a leash belt I use when walking dogs that keeps the dog hooked to me for extra control and ensures they can’t pull the leash out of my hand.
“Marne is the best! She visits my Harper on drop-in visits and gives me peace of mind in knowing he is well taken care of. Harper loves Marne which makes me happy. I highly recommend Marne to take great care of your furry family members!”
About: With 30 years of pet care experience, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a deep love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Since childhood, I have been the go-to sitter for neighbors and friends. I always ensure your dog gets the best care, plenty of exercise, and endless affection. My daily routing is pretty simple with cats. I ensure they have plenty of food and clean water and litter. So my time is free. My cats own my apartment and im simply a guest and since they are indoor, their entire world is one apartment so i think its only fait that they make the rules and they run a tight ship. Im very well trained in maintaining a superior lifestyle

About: Hi, I’m Suzie! I have experience caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies and energetic younger dogs to sweet seniors. I’m comfortable adapting to each dog’s individual personality, routine, energy level, and needs. My goal is to provide a safe, loving, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and rest. I’m a full-time stay-at-home mom to a wonderful 2.5-year-old toddler and a friendly standard-size labradoodle, so pets are naturally a big part of my daily life. Being home most of the day allows me to provide plenty of attention, supervision, and care for your pet. Our home is filled with activity, play, and love—perfect for pets who enjoy company and a family setting. I work pet care into my daily routine by: • Frequent Potty Breaks & Playtime: Since I’m home, I can let dogs out often and provide outdoor time in my spacious (unfenced) backyard with close supervision. • Walks: I enjoy taking my dog on walks, and I’m happy to bring your pup along for fresh air and exercise. • Indoor Play & Enrichment: Toys, games, and interactive activities are part of our daily routine, keeping pets entertained and engaged. • Naptime & Relaxation: There’s also plenty of quiet time for rest and cuddles—especially during my toddler’s nap time. • Flexible Schedule: My flexible routine allows me to adapt to your pet’s specific needs, whether that means extra outdoor time, medication, or simply extra love and attention. Pets become part of our little family while they’re here, and I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well-cared for throughout their stay! Pet Care Approach: Caring for pets is my passion, and their safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for pets in my home , I strive to create a loving, attentive, and stress-free environment tailored to each pet’s unique needs. In My Home: I live in a single-family house with a spacious backyard (not fenced), offering plenty of space for supervised outdoor play and exercise. Since the yard is not fenced, all outdoor time is closely monitored to ensure your pet’s safety. Leash walks are also available for added security. Indoors, pets will have a cozy and clean environment where they can relax and feel at home.
“Valerie is the only rover sitter I've ever worked with and honestly I never want to switch to a new person. She is FANTASTIC! So patient with my very nervous pup and gives her love like she is her own. I wish I could give 10 stars!”
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.
About: I have taken care of not only my own pets for almost my entire life, but also I have helped friends and family with their fur-babie(s)! I even taught my dog her lefts and rights. She’s a smart little pup. 🐶 As of today, (8/11/25), I have a pretty open schedule and I will adjust my schedule on here, promptly, if my schedule changes! Feel free to ask any questions, I’m also willing to do some same day pet care, if needed! I plan to make sure during my time with any pet that they are taken care of in a safe, proper, and caring manner, whilst also following any specific instructions of my clients needs for their fur-babie(s) & their homes.
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Applegate
Kristy was responsive, compassionate, and took the time to notice and appreciate each of our animals’ needs and personalities. Everyone seemed happy and satisfied when we got home in the evening which gave us such peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her time and availability! Would highly recommend to other pet parents.
Delores was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure Mello was well taken care of. I especially appreciated how communicative she was throughout the visit. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of Mello, which gave me so much peace of mind! It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'm so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pup!
Connie is always excellent. She did two visits to my cats this time. She provided a detailed description of what she did while visiting them each day and sent best pictures! I am so glad I found Connie on Rover! She has been a huge help to us when we travel!!!!
Kim is an amazing petsitter! My family and I got our two cats a year and a half ago. We were pretty anxious about leaving them for a week for a family vacation abroad. I was even more anxious as this would be the first time ever that we would leave them for an extended period of time. Kim did a great job of sending me daily photos of my cats and little notes each day of how they were doing which was so important to me. I deeply appreciated Kim’s intentional and loving care towards my beloved pets and will definitely rebook her if I have any future trips. Thank you!
Xiaoyi was absolutely amazing with my dog Bella. At first, I was skeptical about this service as I am very picky about who I like to work with Bella. That being said I would absolutely book Xiaoyi without any hesitation or reservation. If you like someone who is very attentive communicative and very caring, please look no further. While I was away on my trip, she kept me informed with pictures and text messages on my dogs experience. I look forward to working with her in the future! 10 out of 10 experience!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee, which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
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 sitter 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 sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
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 sitter.
