“Violet was amazing watching our GSP. She was very attentive, communicative, and sent lots of photos. You don’t have to worry if Violet is watching your fur child. She does an excellent job. HIGHLY recommend!!”
“Dani was fantastic! Communicative before and during her stay, provided updates about how our pup was doing (he's a puppy and this was our first time away from him), and sent photos. We will definitely be booking with her again.”
“Hope was a date night saver for us! She took care of Chani for a few hours, who normally express a bit of separation anxiety with us gone, but with Hope she felt totally safe and relaxed at home! Easy to book with, super fast communication, kind, caring, ideal Rover experience! Thanks again, Hope!”
“Bridgett was amazing!!! She communicated with us about how our animals days went and she sent lots of pictures. She took care of our home and plants as well. Bridgett really seems to care about the quality of the service she is providing AND she truly cares for animals. Rare combination these days. We’ll be sure to book her for our future pet needs.”
“Melisa was wonderful! She provided us updates and photos while we were gone and did a very thorough meet and greet ahead of time to make sure everything was all set before she stayed. Our dogs loved her and we would definitely recommend her.”
“Kayla was GREAT! She is responsible, professional and friendly. She spent a lot of quality time with our pup, updated us daily and treated our home very well. I love that she figured out how to navigate hot weather days so that she still got a daily walk in knowing it is a priority for me.”
About: Taking care of and training my dogs has been a vital part of my growing up and there is nothing more fulfilling than gaining the love from animals I am a college student home for the summer and have nothing but time to take care of other’s furry loved ones, my availability is open to the needs of the animals I have had dogs my whole life which has made me very aware of what is safe and not safe for dogs, I am also very good at following the directions from the owners of animals as they know what is best for their pets and what is normal and not normal. Many animals also have routines they follow and I believe following those routines helps keep a normalcy for when they are out of their normal.
“If you find a sitter on Rover who TRULY cares for and loves your animals… KEEP SUPPORTING THEM. Ryder is just amazing with our anxious dog and very attention-demanding cats. We are super grateful to have found him.”
“Kelsey was wonderful with our dogs while we escaped for a weekend away. She kept us appropriately up to date and ensured they got exercise and love. We came home to a clean house and happy, content dogs.”
“Emily was amazing house sitting for us! She’s so patient with our crazy dogs and left the house in great condition! She was great at providing updates everyday and so easy to get ahold of. We will definitely book with her again!”
“Shawn took great care of my 2 dogs and 2 cats; especially my one dog who is reactive towards other dogs. He gave updates and pictures and made me feel better about leaving them with someone while I went home. He also was super helpful and flexible by being able to watch them an extra day when my flight had to be rebooked to the next day due to delays. If I didn’t travel for work (I’m only here for another 2 weeks) I would absolutely rebook with Shawn.”
“Daniela did a great job taking care of our two pups and home for 3 days while traveling. She communicated well throughout the stay and sent photos letting me know the dogs were doing well. Would book again.”
“I can't express how grateful we are to have found such an outstanding and dedicated dog sitter. Hannah truly went above and beyond, making us feel at ease by regularly sending us updates and photos. Her candid communication style showed us that we made the perfect choice. Hannah genuinely cared for our dog, ensuring his basic needs were met while also giving him TONS of love and attention. After experiencing her excellent care firsthand, we are absolutely thrilled to say that we've found our go-to dog sitter for all future occasions. We wholeheartedly trust her with the well-being of our fur baby!”
“Patricia is one of the kindest and considerate sitters I have booked on Rover. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a kind soul to care for your pets and will most definitely be booking future stays with her.”
“Lainie was awesome. She was great to communicate with, took excellent care of Enzo and left my house clean and tidy. I can confidently recommend Lainie and hope to have her stay again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Kat was so amazing and out Bentley loved her. She was very communicative before during and after the stay. Sent pictures regularly. She was able to love on our Bentley through an untimely emotional family situation to keep him calm and happy while we were gone. We would 100% trust and use Kat again during future trips.

FAQs for House Sitting - Frederick
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Frederick on Rover is $33.3 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 9,226 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Frederick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Frederick walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Frederick maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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!
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.
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 .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
