“Claire did an outstanding job taking care of Mochi for two days in a row. She was incredibly professional, responsible, and attentive throughout the entire time. She kept me updated regularly, followed all instructions carefully, and gave me complete peace of mind while I was away. It was clear that she genuinely cared about Mochi and made sure he was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. I would absolutely trust Claire with Mochi again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.”
“Jen was great! She arrived on time and took care of my kitties as discussed. Everything was kept clean and she spent time playing with and cuddling with them as I had hoped. I really appreciated the pictures she took. I’d definitely hire her again and recommend her!”
“Absolutely will have Matt watch our pets again!! He was super flexible- when I asked him last minute to come an hour and a half early, he made it work. My dog can be very anxious around men, he usually doesn’t accept head pets or like to play around them. My dog had no issues playing and accepting head scratches from Matt! Pets love him!!”
“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!”
“Cole helped make our first Rover experience a positive one! While traveling it helps keep us at ease knowing our pets are cared for so well. Thanks for the photos and extra long walk.”
About: I have experience since I was a kid taking care of animals. As well as working at a vet boarding place. I currently have my own dog and cat as well. I also have a dog and cat myself. Taking care of Animals has gotten me through my hardest times of life. It’s part of my daily routine right now I make sure my own pets are on a. Schedule especially for feeding. If the owner of the pet has a requirement or instructions I follow those
“Willow has been amazing with my two pups. She was willing to come for a meet and greet before I booked just due to my preference. She has communicated with me everyday about the pups and is very responsive.”
“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!”
About: I work full time, but would love to spend time with dogs before and after work, when possible. I have a 2-year-old Siberian Husky, my dream come true! I trained her starting at 8 weeks. She is as sweet and patient as can be. While I was in college, I would often care of a couple dogs that my friends had or that I would live with. Since then, I have taken on clients by word of mouth. I'm looking to connect with the community and spread the love I have for animals to others. I work remotely. While I do often have meetings throughout the day, I have some flexibility to modify much of my day to meet the needs of pets. I am very concerned about safety as a medical professional. I love to have fun and show love to pets, but I recognize some situations require more care. My own pup is crate trained to reduce the risk of getting into risky situations unsupervised. I also clean up the yard to reduce the risk of infection by cleaning up bowel movements routinely throughout the day.
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 have taken care of dogs as long as I can remember I have one dog of my own and he loves everyone and everything I can help out with walks however short or long they need to be I am currently working part time do I have plenty of availability I am able to do boardings on weekends and whenever during the week I do live in an apartment but have a dog park right out my door, as well as a lot of walking trails I am to do drop-in checks- I do have a dog of my own so overnights at a clients home wouldn't work
“Emma is an absolutely wonderful pet sitter! She was totally reliable, sent me great updates (including about how much my picky eater ate at each meal), sent loads of pictures every day, and most importantly took perfect care of my dogs. I couldn't dream of a better pet sitter! Hire Emma and put your mind at ease!”
“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”
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’ve taken care of dogs, my entire life into a adulthood. I’ve taken care of everything from puppies, senior dogs battling cancer, and dog recovering from surgery. I work from home most days except while traveling for work so I have lots of flexibility in watching your pups while you are away!

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
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. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
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 .
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.
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.

Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
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.
