“Steph is the GOAT! Look no further for someone to love and care for your fur baby while you’re away. We are so fortunate to have discovered her on Rover. She is absolutely phenomenal. She was very prompt and thorough in communicating with us. She’s an excellent communicator and extremely caring. We enjoyed receiving pictures of our dog and felt relaxed and at peace knowing he was in her care. We had complete confidence in her and think the world of her.”
“Nat & Ally were excellent with my girl. They were very accepting when I needed to change the dates several times. They sent lots of pictures so I could see my girl and how comfortable she was, particularly during a thunderstorm which she hates. I will definitely be booking with them in the future!”
“John and Jessica were so great with our pup! We got lots of video and photo updates and were fully confident he was being well cared for! We look forward to our pup staying with them again in the future!”
“Ruth and Agnes are simply amazing! I got reassurances when I was missing my pup. Then updates and pictures everyday. I could tell Dustin was spoiled with love. Thank you! Highly recommend anyone looking for a pup sitter.”
“5/5 Stars – Exceptional Care for Bella! We couldn't have asked for a better sitter for our sweet Bella during our trip. Dorian was great, responsive from the start, and he sent updates as soon as possible when I requested. Bella came home happy and relaxed. We definitely will book with him again in the future. If you're looking for someone who treats your dog like family, Dorian is your person, we highly recommend!”
“Thank you Miranda for taking such great care of my corgi. The regular updates with photos were a great comfort knowing my 4 footed friend was safe and having a great time!”
“Iesha did an AMAZING job with my fur baby! She was very attentive to her and send multiple pictures and daily updates about her. She gave our precious girl lap time (which she loves) as well as a going home party with bubbles and treats. I will definitely use her for any of our future needs🥰”
“We could not have asked for more in a pup sitter for our Havanese. Rina and Alex are genuine dog lovers and cared for our pup as if he was their own. Also, my pup loved playing with Gigi. We have used Rina twice and recommend her without reservation. I often hesitate to travel because I dread leaving my little guy behind. Such a relief to find a "second home" for our pup!”
“We had a great experience with Jennifer starting with the meet and greet and early communication, and we our expectations were exceeded with our 2 year old pup's weekend stay. We were given daily updates and photos, and could tell when we picked him up that he was well cared for and happy. She is very detail oriented and cares about your pet's personal needs! Felt very comfortable leaving him. Will definitely use her again :)”
About: Ive had pets of my own and work with animals through vet hospital. I love cuddling, playing, and going on walks with pets. I am open to assist with giving medication for doggies who need extra care. I will happily send over pics of your pet during visits. I'm currently part time at a pet hospital. Availability can vary, just message me and we can try to work something out. On days I work usually I'm available in the evenings. I can offer boarding if needed. I do not have a fenced yard, I like to take pets out on walks for potty multiple times a day. I have 1 dog ( Wilbur ) + 2 cats (Phineas and Senu ). Wilbur is very friendly and would love the company of your pet. He is a tree walker coonhound Cats can be separated if needed when boarding your pet. For check ins - I can come over to make sure your pets have their food + water set. If meds need to be given I'm open to doing that. I'll also spend some time with them to offer some love and make sure they have some time outdoors. If owner allows I can take your dog out hiking / extended walks or to a park.
“FANTASTIC Family!! Maverick had a great time and was well cared for. Communication was outstanding. They were super with his medication, and patient with my nervous texts about him staying anywhere overnight. Maverick & I look forward to when he can see them again!”
“Nancy was amazing. It was clear from the way she interacts with my dog Kyle that she loves and understands dogs. Nancy was able to quickly establish a strong bond with Kyle. Nancy is a great communicator, keeping me updated on Kyle was doing and including numerous pics. I highly recommend Nancy and will be using her for all future puppy sitting needs. Oh yeah, Kyle gives her 4 paws up🐾🐾”
“My wife and I, mainly my wife, (dog mom), was skeptical about the process of dog sitting. We found Alex & Christina and let me tell you. They are a Godsend to our dog sitting world. Truly lovely, knowledgeable people. WOW!!!! We love them 200 %. We strongly recommend their services for your future needs. On their profile, you may notice that the husband Alex has much experience with being a K9 handler. That was on thing that caught our attention, as we have a Belgian Malinois who by nature due to the breed can be VERY stubborn and have high energy that needs to used. Once we met this wonderful family in their wonderful home, all of our skepticism went away!! Truly high class fam! 5 Stars Fo Shure!!!!!”
“This was our first time looking for dog sitter and we couldn’t be more happy to have found Lily! She is truly a dog whisperer and a blessing in disguise! We fell in love with Lily and her sweet dog Ted. It was Winston’s first time having a playmate and they bonded instantly. It was adorable to see their social interaction. Lily has the perfect home and back yard for Ted and Winston to play and run. When we left Winston for the first time, he didn’t even look back to say goodbye to us. Lily was so responsive when we reached out to her and she took the time each day to send a picture and a status on Winston. Lily gave us the peace of mind we needed while on our family vacation. When we brought Winston back home, he was super sad. We believe he misses Lily and Ted. We highly recommend Lily!!! She has a warm and natural way of welcoming you! You will love her and Ted!!!”
“Mandie was AMAZING! I 110% recommend her for your pet sitting needs! This was our first time leaving our girl Nova for an extended period of time and she made it the most comfortable experience. She sent pictures and videos daily which eased our mind so much! She is very active with the dogs she watches and her own! She worked on commands with my dog and her home was very dog friendly! We couldn’t have picked a better sitter for our dog Nova!”

We couldn’t be happier with the care Emily gave our dog during the week we were away. From the very first message, she was responsive, professional, and clearly experienced with dogs. Emily handled Luna’s needs with patience and genuine care. We received regular updates and photos, so we never had to worry. It was clear our dog was comfortable, well-exercised, and treated like part of the family. We already feel confident leaving Luna with Emily again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, attentive dog sitter. Thank you for taking such good care of our pup!
We left our Roscoe with Kate for 5 nights. Roscoe likes things done his way and Kate had no problem meeting his needs. She sent many pictures and videos daily. He was smiling and happy in every one! We wish we would have found her sooner. We will certainly reach out to her any time we need to travel and can't take Roscoe with us. Thank you Kate and Johnny and Jack for making Roscoe feel at home!
Adrienne was awesome with our 7-year-old cavalier spaniel Maggie. She gave her lots of love and attention, took her to a Halloween doggy costume celebration, and even picked her up/dropped her off. She sent daily updates with lots of pictures. Mags came home happy and tired. I will definitely book Adrienne again!!
Hank’s home away from home. He is always welcomed with so much love and attention — this time he didn’t even want to get in the car to come back! As an “old man” with hip problems, Hank needs a little extra care, and this wonderful family always caters to his needs with patience, affection, and genuine kindness. The pictures tell the whole story. It is incredibly reassuring to know he is treated with such tenderness and handled so gently. I’m grateful every time Hank stays with them.
Hannah took great care of my dog, Sheru, and kept me updated while I was traveling. She was responsive and flexible with drop-off and pickup arrangements. She also noticed signs of a possible UTI and thoughtfully suggested checking with a vet. I really appreciated her care and concern for Sheru. I highly recommend Hannah to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter!
Priscila and Maria did an outstanding job taking care of Shenanigans and Fiddlesticks, and we highly recommend them. We made a major goof at dropoff--we remembered the dogs' treat bag but not their food! Since we were in a rush to get to the airport, we had to ask them to buy food for the dogs, which we reimbursed. Thank goodness, they helped us out with this. Also, travel delays meant that we picked up the pups a few hours later than expected, but they were very accommodating. We received daily updates and pictures of the dogs, which we very much appreciated. Priscila and Maria are outstanding Rover hosts, and we will definitely use their services again.
I was extremely happy with the excellent care Daisy received! She was well cared for, and I felt completely comfortable knowing she was in good hands. The service was wonderful, and I truly appreciate the care and attention given to Daisy. I will definitely be using her services again and highly recommend her!
Juan took great care of my pups while we were away for a few days — I received frequent photo updates, he took them on long walks, let them run freely at the dog park, and provided a comfy dog bed for their stay. I’m pretty sure my goldendoodle was disappointed to leave Juan and come back home, lol. When I picked them up they were the most calm, well-rested, and not dehydrated — it’s usually the opposite when I’ve picked them up from boarding or a sitter in the past. I’ll definitely book with Juan again in the future!
Emily was wonderful as always! Nini stayed with Emily for a week and we knew she would feel right at home with the excellent care that Emily provides. She also got to have an amazing playtime with her furry friends and enjoy walks everyday. We are lucky to have Emily host Nini while we are away! Thanks Emily!
Laszlo spent his first consecutive nights away from us with Justin, Kacy, and their pups. It went great and he was well looked after. We're glad he had a nice yard to run around in and make some friends. They're incredibly responsive and he seems to be comfortable to be there. All we could ask for. Thank you!
I cannot say enough good things about Nancy! She took such good care of my little one. I always get sad and anxious about being apart from my baby. Nancy was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. I knew Millie would be in good hands. Nancy wanted to ensure to follow Millie’s routine and to make her as comfortable as possible. She spent a lot of time with her and took her on long walks. She also sent updates throughout the day. Highly recommend Nancy! We will definitely be reaching out to her again.
Chris & Gerry are simply THE BEST! I couldn’t say enough great things about them. So many beautiful updates every day while on vacation with heartwarming messages and adorable pics of our little Lexi. I was completely relaxed my entire vacation knowing Lexi was in such great hands! Can’t thank you enough!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Boarding in Frederick is $44 per night as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $33 and $61 per night. 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.
As of October 2026, there are 2,118 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Frederick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
94% of sitters in Frederick can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Frederick home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Frederick.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Frederick sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
