“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.”
“Stephanie and Dominic are amazing sitters! Highly recommended! They provide loving care to our greyhounds while we are away including affection, feedings and playtime. They are kind, punctual, flexible and great listeners and communicators. Our dogs love and trust them and so do we.”
“Kayla is amazing with our 2 senior dogs! She is so sweet and communicative; she sent lots of photos and updates which we appreciated very much. Our boys clearly loved their time with her, and we came back to them looking totally happy, healthy, and well-cared for. She was a lovely house guest as well. Would love to have Kayla back time and time again! 🩵🩵”
“Matt was absolutely fantastic! He took excellent care of my pup and my home. Frannie had such a great time going on walks, getting lots of pets and loving, and snacking on some tasty treats. I will absolutely be booking again with Matt in the future.”
About: I’ve been privileged to have dogs be apart of my entire life. From having them as pets, caring for others, and volunteering for multiple shelters over the years, dogs have been a priority for me. I have deep respect for routines and instructions, can work with new born to seniors (who are just babies really), and will give them the love and attention they deserve. I am currently working on aspects of my education and have a lot of time to dedicate to pet care. I have minimal travel plans, so would be interested in a one time walk to a long term sit, and everything in between. I have reliable transportation and I’m allergic to being late. Communication and following instructions is top priority for me, so you will never wonder how your wonderful companion is doing. When caring for pets in your home my priorities include respecting your property, your instructions, and your animals needs. Schedules are followed to a T and communication including updates and pictures if wanted! Something I really pride myself on is being able to adapt and match the energy your animal needs. From extremely anxious to very extroverted, I can easily find the pace they are most comfortable with to reduce stress, build trust, and give them the love needed while you are busy!
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.
About: I started working as a vet tech in 2012 so I'm trained to give oral medications, injections, and perform basic physical therapy and wound care. I've had animals my entire life and am well versed in taking care of dogs, cats, and fish! I am also a runner and happy to walk or run dogs depending on their exercise needs! I do work full time in Fort Collins so am gone between 7am-5pm Monday through Friday. I'm available for walks and check ins outside of those hours. I can stay in a house full time on the weekends if needed. You can trust that I'm going to take the best possible care of your fur-baby while you're away! Not only do I genuinely love all animals but I have over a decade of experience working with animals medically. Having seen it all in emergency vet med, I definitely believe in safety first and will ensure that your pet is safe, comfortable, and happy while I'm with them!
“Booked Sarah last-minute and she couldn't have made it easier - texted right back, sent cute updates throughout the stay, and was totally flexible. Felt completely at ease leaving the dog with her. Would book again in a heartbeat!”
“Niki did a good job watching my extremely timid little rat terrier. She was patient and gave my dog time to warm up to her by the end of the stay. My house was left neat and clean. Thank you, Niki!”
“Claire’s calm demeanor was perfect for our anxious 9 year old rescue. She left our home clean and respected our specific wishes for our dog’s care. We will be using her again!”
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.
“We can't say enough good things about Patricia and the way our dogs know her, trust her, and lay on top of her. We leave THREE PAGES of directions because our dogs are freaks - she's got it covered. Thanks dog fren!”
“Another 6 day 5 night booking and we are again VERY happy. Thanks so much for providing such a consistent level of services for our family. We are so very grateful.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Daniela did an excellent job watching our dog Rascal, our home, and my garden while we were gone for a week. She even took care of the sheets she stayed in and put our trash out on trash day! She took excellent care of our fur baby and was highly communicative. I will sing her praises from the rooftops!
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.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Frederick on Rover is $33.71 per night (as of September 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 September 2026, there are 9,182 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.
