“Lex has been absolutely awesome with Minni! 🐾 Minni is always so happy to be around her, and it’s clear how much Lex truly cares about pets. We’re so grateful for her help and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable sitter!”
About: I’m good with all kinds of animals, dog, cat, whatever! Whether or not your little friend is a troublemaker, shy, aggressive, or well-behaved, I know how to handle em all with love, care, and patience. I’ve taken care of animals since I was 12, so I have all the basics down - making it even easier to specialize care for your sweet pet. I’m consistent and reliable. It’s rare that I turn down an opportunity to spend time with animals, I love them so dearly. I pet sit/ cat sit / dog sit after work during the week. I really enjoy the opportunity to build in animal care into my day! I’m always very gentle and patient. I’m very cognizant of the fact animals can’t help a lot of difficult behaviors, so I tend not to get irritated with them. I can even do some training, I only use positive re-enforcement training methods. I like to go the long mile taking care of animals, I feel like they deserve so much happiness for how much good they bring into our own lives. I love to take dogs on extra long walks than they would usually get, and play until they are all done playing for the day. Same goes for cats!

About: I have owned dogs for over 20 years with care from all ages of the lifespan. Dealing with mostly boxers so I can easily deal with the energy or hyperness that your dog might have.I work from home so I am always readily available for your pets needs at anytime of day. I work from home so I am always readily available for your pets needs at anytime of day. I usually take multiple breaks throughout the day with my own dog to take her out or give her attention I have a fenced yard but my dog normally stays inside mostly as she is a house dog and wants to do her business and come inside.
About: I’ve taken care of pets since I was 16. I’ve taken care of elderly pets as well as puppies and kittens. Sick and healthy pets as well. I’d love to help bring you peace of mind when it comes to care for your baby. I am currently a hairstylist at Sportsclips, with tons of free time. I have a car and can travel to take care of your pets. I promise to take care of your pets as if they were my own. Although I may spoil them if we are being honest (I’m a sucker for puppy eyes).
“Leah was great with our kiddos! She took great pictures and videos of them. She was very communicative and gave us lots of updates. We felt very comfortable leaving our kiddos in her care and would definitely use her services again.”
“We were so happy and impressed with Kelsi. Kelsi did daily drop in visits for our cat, Saya, for 6 days over Christmas. Saya looked happy and healthy upon our return and we couldn't be happier with having booked with Kelsi. Kelsi also kindly brought up all of our packages while we were away and responded promptly and professionally to all of our questions and requests.”
“Alissa is AMAZING With our pup! Alissa took the time to get our chickens back into their run when she was there for a "drop-in" visit! I know first hand how tricky this can be! We appreciate all the "little" things she has done for us and Juniper! Like bringing our Amazon packages inside. Juniper loves her company while we are away! And we love the piece of mind knowing our fur baby is in good hands 💜”
“Holly is the best pet sitter we've worked with through Rover. She's patient, responsive, and loving towards our dogs. We look forward to using her services in the future! Thank you Holly!”
About: I’ve been around dogs for many years and understand how important it is to provide them with patience, love, and attention. I also volunteer with a nonprofit animal rescue organization, where I help care for and support animals in need. This experience has helped me become comfortable with dogs of different personalities and needs. I’m experienced with feeding, walks, playtime, treats, and keeping pets comfortable and safe. I treat every dog like family and make sure they receive plenty of care, affection, and companionship while their owners are away. I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care and giving pet parents peace of mind. My schedule is wonderfully flexible, meaning your pups will get constant companionship, playtime, and potty breaks. I am completely available for boarding on weekends and weekday afternoons to keep your dogs happy. I have a secure fenced yard and two friendly dogs to keep your fur baby company. Safety is my top priority, and I can easily crate your dog or customize care based on their routine.
“Madisyn was communicative, leaving a message and photo every day. She very kindly did a few above-and-beyond housekeeping jobs for me, taking the trash can in and closing/opening the blinds. Most importantly, she was very sweet and attentive to my shy cat.”
About: (He/Him) I’m a certified veterinary assistant with ~4 years of experience, and I renew my certification yearly! I’ve loved animals my whole life, and have had pets my whole life as well! I’ve been entrusted with pet sitting for dogs, cats, and even horses for family & friends as the go-to pet sitter! I have just graduated college, so I have (relatively) open availability! I’m brand new to Colorado, and still searching for a job so my days are open! I can administer any medications if needed and crate if needed or wanted when I am not there. I can monitor your pets for any changes or needs, and let you know ASAP. For the comfort and safety of your pet please let me know beforehand if your fur baby is sensitive to anything, has any reactivities or animal aggression, or dislikes certain parts of them being pet. If needed/wanted during pet sitting, I can administer flea and tick and Heartworm prevention to your cat or dog, all I need is the date. For any medications, let me know the times and how often, and I will administer and keep record for you that will be available when you come home
About: I was Humane Society volunteer, even if briefly. I've also been a pet owner for 15 years, with one dog named DuDu, who was a Black Labrador I am available practically always, with the primary exception being Wednesday nights, since I have guitar lessons that day. But other than that, I am indeed available, since even my volunteering work is irregular and voluntary I have a fenced yard or have the dog kept on a leash. I make sure the environment is hazard free, and keep the dog away from other animals.
“Sarah W was amazing! She helped me out this week after my daycare plans fell through. I’m so glad she loved my fur baby as her own. I highly recommend Sarah for anyone that wants quality love and care for their pet(s).”
About: My parents would go out of town quite often for several days each time, and whenever they did, they would have me stay over at their house to take care of their two chihuahuas, Belle and Lilly, who were twelve and thirteen at the time. Belle had frequent seizures followed by difficulty breathing and incontinence and Lilly had an autoimmune disease. I had to give both of them several different kinds of medications and also provide basic care like filling their food and water bowls, giving them treats, letting them in the backyard and taking them for a walk. They would get sad and not eat as much with my parents being gone, so I would make sure to stay over there and keep them company for long stretches of the day. I help my dad walk his chihuahua, Lucy, at least once a week and I help trim her fingernails, as well as give her baths before drying her off. I also help to change the cat litter box since it is heavy. Sometimes we bring Desi the cat with us on the walk in a pet stroller. I care for pets in any manner that the client would like me to care for them in their home. That includes staying with them for long stretches, letting them out, throwing a ball around the yard, taking them on walks, etc.
“Logan was great looking in on our two dogs while we attended a wedding. She sent pictures, made sure to spend time with them and took great care of our fur babies! We sincerely appreciated her being there for our boys while we were away. Thanks Logan!”

The average cost of Dog Sitting in Frederick is $22 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $32 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.

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.
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 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.
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.

You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, 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 use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
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.
