“Claire has the calmest and most gentle demeanor and Chloe instantly took to her. She was very easy to communicate with and we are already planning to use her again this week!”

“Matthew always spends quality time playing with Monte. I always feel better knowing my dog is in good hands. I especially appreciate the photo updates, they give my husband and me peace of mind and make us smile. I always feel more relaxed knowing my dog is being so well cared for, and will definitely book with Matthew again!”


“Nicole helped keep my new border collie company for a couple drop in visits while I was away long hours at work. She was communicative and responsive and I know Logan loved it! Thanks Nicole!”

“Emily has been walking our 10 year old pup daily for 6 weeks or so. She is reliable, communicative, and thorough. She has followed through with everything I asked and she’s a big help to us. Thank you for taking such good care of our Stella!”

“Cole did fantastic with my less than friendly to strangers kitties. He went out of the way to make them feel comfortable with his presence and he did absolutely everything I requested!!”

About: Animals have always been my passion, and I have dedicated both my professional career and my ongoing education to ensuring they live their best lives. Having spent two years working in doggy daycare, I have had the privilege of supporting dogs of all ages and temperaments through their daily routines. I find genuine joy in providing the specific type of attention each dog needs to feel secure and happy, from managing puppy "zoomies" to honoring the slower, comfortable pace of a senior companion. By choosing to work with me, you are welcoming a dedicated, trained, and compassionate advocate into your pet's life who will ensure they feel right at home while you are away. I treat every animal I care for as if they were my own, and I am committed to making your pet’s time with me a positive and stress-free experience. I understand that every pet family has a unique rhythm, and my primary goal is to maintain that consistency while you are away. Because pet care is my full-time passion, I offer the flexibility required to adapt to your specific needs—whether your dog thrives on a structured routine of midday walks or requires the comfort of a consistent presence during overnight house-sitting. I pride myself on being highly adaptable to your schedule, ensuring your furry friend receives attentive, professional supervision and companionship that mirrors the care they are used to at home. I am committed to making your time away stress-free by providing reliable, dedicated, and high-quality care whenever you need it. In my home, my dogs are treated like family, just as all dogs deserve. They receive love and attention, and I cherish the quality time we spend together. Whenever I was dog sitting, I made sure the dog felt comfortable with both me and its surroundings. I also ensured that all their needs were met and that they were thriving. If the dog enjoys walks, they will be given one daily.
“Rachael was amazing with our Leo and he was extremely happy when we returned. She was very responsive and sent us the cutest photos. We would absolutely love to book with her again!”


About: While my experience caring for pets professionally is limited, I worked in healthcare for a short stint out of high school, delivering medical oxygen supplies to peoples homes, and setting up the equipment for patients. One of my favorite parts of the job was when the patients had pets! Frequently, their pets warmed up to me as soon as I was welcomed in to do my work, which would always brighten up my day. Of course, I have pets myself. I've been caring for my cat, Winslow, for about a year and a half now. He's fantastically affectionate and he's been an excellent companion in my home. I also help my parents with their cats, since I live with them at the moment. As one last note, at my last job I attained a CPR certification from the American Heart Association. Human focused, of course, but I stilled learned the signs of a crisis in living beings and what to do when life hangs in the balance. I hope never to have to use said skills, but if a pet has a delicate health situation, I am equipped to get them the help they need if things take a turn for the worse. I am between jobs at the moment, so my schedule is about as open as it gets. I have my own responsibilities to tend to with my cat, but my parents can take care of him if your furry friend needs me around all day. First things first is a meet and greet to make sure your pet is comfortable around me. Once your pet and I have made each-other's acquaintance, we'll talk about how you usually go about caring for them yourself so we don't throw a wrench in their habits. If you're having me spend time in your home, we'll talk about how you expect me to conduct myself while house sitting.
About: Hi! My name is Marion. I have always loved dogs, and have one lovely pup of my own, Summit. She is the tan dog in the photos. She is 7 years old, and very dog friendly. She loves to play, but knows boundaries and is happy to cuddle on the couch as well. I have a very large, high-fenced yard that is great for the dogs, and I also walk my dogs 2x daily and take them to the dog park or open space 1-2x per week. I am a runner, so I could gladly run with your dog if you would like. Dogs of all sizes are welcome in my home! I grew up with Great Danes and am very comfortable around big dogs, and my house is very open so there is a lot of room. I look forward to meeting you and your doggos! I am experience with senior and medical pets as well and am comfortable caring for your medically needing fur babies. Behavioral issues or nervous dogs don’t scare me, I have fostered 50+ dogs over the years and am happy to be accommodating. I work from home 90% of the time and am only gone from the home for 2-4 hours at a time to visit my clients. I have a furbo in my home to check in on dogs when I am not at home, and can make my schedule work for someone needing 24/7 observation as long as I have notice. I have multiple spaces in my home if our dogs need to be separated as well.
About: I’m an after school Program Coordinator for Elementary aged kids in the BVSD looking to hang out and care for some pets while I’m not working. I’ve had two dogs my entire life growing up, and now have a little cat to keep me company. I don’t own a dog at the moment, and I’m having major dog withdrawals! I would really love to take more personal walks, and adding a few dogs would make it even better. I’ve helped my friends (and family) while they’re out of town by watching their pets, feeding them, giving them their medicine, and bathing them. I would love to take your dog for a jog around the park, or just take a nice leisurely stroll! I also adore cats and would love to give them some company when needed. I love hanging on the couch giving them some cuddles, playing with their favorite toys, and letting them do their own kitty thing while hanging around. I hope to meet you and your sweet fur baby soon. I’m currently working as an after school program coordinator with Fridays off- so I am able to watch your babies early mornings, evenings, any time on Fridays and weekends! I have a fenced yard for your pup to play in, a large house, one cat who is great with other animals, and some free time during the week/weekends to come and watch your fur babies when needed!
About: Caring for pets has always been my passion! I’ve grown up with cats and dogs of all kinds and have always been very adamant in making sure they receive the best care and all the love possible. I’ve worked professionally with animals in doggy day care setting and worked closely with dog trainers. My husband is also a vet technician who has spent his whole career working with animals including in dog kennels and doggy day care. Our life purpose is caring for animals, our own and yours! You can be sure your pet is being cared for deeply while you are away! I have taken my passion for pet care full time! Please contact me for availability, I am booking up quickly but I have a wide range of availability for different services. From house sitting to dog walking, I also offer pet waste collection/removal & nail trims. We have a very well sized fully fenced back yard and an open home. Our home does have other cats and dogs so we mostly require guest to be adapted to this kind of environment. However, we have spaces in home available to keep a dog separate for their comfort levels if need be. Case by case. As far as animal care in our home or yours, we treat them as our own. Each animal has a different personality and different needs, which for us is easy to understand. If I am away home sitting for work, my husband is home caring for our animals. Please reach out and ask any questions you’d like for more information.
About: I’m a special education teacher looking to spend my summer caring for animals! I’ve grown up around pets and have experience pet sitting and dog walking for friends, family, and neighbors since college. I currently have a 5-year-old black lab who is very high energy, so I’m very comfortable with active dogs that need lots of exercise, outdoor time, and play. We spend a lot of time outside hiking, walking, and playing fetch, and I truly enjoy being active with her. I also have a cat, so I’m comfortable caring for both dogs and cats of different personalities and energy levels. I’m patient, dependable, attentive, and will treat your pets like my own. I will have a very open and flexible schedule during the summer, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. I love being outdoors, so daily walks, playtime, fetch, and adventures are already a part of my normal routine with my own dog. I’m available for dog walking, drop-ins, feeding, playtime, and giving pets lots of love and attention. I enjoy staying active and would love to spend my summer caring for animals. I am a very organized, clean, dependable, and attentive person, and I will treat your pets with the same love and care that I give my own pets. I always make sure pets are safe, comfortable, exercised, and supervised. I understand how important routines and trust are for animals, and I will follow all instructions carefully. Whether I am caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I will keep the environment clean, respectful, and leave the home exactly how I found it.
About: I love all animals! I am a Division I Student Athlete at the University of South Florida, studying health sciences, and on the pre-nursing track! I am back home in Colorado for the summer. I also lifeguard at the Erie Rec Center but I have lots of flexibility to house sit, pet sit, and dog walk! I am a student-athlete at USF and have practices/workouts in the mornings with class in the afternoon/evenings. I am happy to chat and accomodate dog walks and potty breaks during the day around practice and class times! Unfortunately I am unable to board animals at my apartment due to having roommates and school policies. On weekends I am available to stay with animals in their own homes! I had two cats and a dog growing up. Throughout middle and high school, I worked various house and pet-sitting jobs. I am a very responsible and organized person, as being an NCAA Division I athlete has demanded.

About: Hi there! I’ve been caring for and watching dogs for over three years now, and it’s truly something I love doing. I’ve worked with all kinds of personalities, from energetic pups to more laid-back, senior dogs, and I always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for like they’re my own. I know how important it is to trust the person watching your dog, so I always prioritize clear communication, reliability, and giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’d absolutely love the opportunity to help care for your dog whenever you need it. Feel free to reach out with any questions—I’d be happy to chat more! 🐾 I’m working part-time and would love to be able to be a support to you and ur pup when needed since I have plenty of time on my hands to help! I’m in a house with a big backyard and me and my roommates would love to have a pup to hangout! We also have numerous parks around we can go play at! I would also be more than willing to go to ur house!
“Kennedy was absolutely amazing. When she came to meet the dogs she asked all the important questions, did not feel rushed at all. All the animals loved her (even the cats came out) and I loved the peace of mind knowing she was there. We will definitely be using her services again”

“Mikayla was amazing! It was our first time using Rover and we were in desperate need last minute. She stepped in so quickly and took great care of our pup while we were on vacation. We definitely hope to use Mikayla in the future and highly recommend her!!”

Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Frederick stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills.

Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Frederick choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
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 .

A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
While Rover doesn’t offer traditional subscription services, some sitters offer recurring bookings for services like home visits and dog walking. Recurring services come with their own perks, such as flexibility to modify services (up to five weeks in advance), automatic billing, Rover Card updates, and same-day cancellations.
To find sitters in Frederick with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
