“My pups had a great time with Adrienne, who accommodated us last minute. Our pups are high anxiety and they settled in quickly and happily for a couple of nights at her place. She’s great about providing the amount of updates you feel comfortable with, and was thoughtful with how she prepared for their stay. I would definitely recommend!”
“I’m always nervous to leave my dog with someone new but they were great to work with, communicative and always answered any questions I had about how Abbey was doing. They have a lovely home with a sunroom and amazing backyard perfect for curious doggos wanting to stare at birds and chipmunks all day. Thank you for looking over my fur baby!”
“Our dogs were incredibly well cared for during their stay with John and his wife. They were very thoughtful in sending updates and photos. I really feel that they cared about our dogs and didn’t see this as just a job. They are wonderful people and your dogs will be in great hands with them.”
“Couldn't have asked for a better place for our pup to stay! Nat and Ally (and their kiddos) were absolutely fabulous. So loving, attentive, and treated my dog as a part of the family while he was in their care. They sent frequent updates and photos which provided great peace of mind. Our dog got plenty of walks and significant playtime in their big back yard with their pup, Meeple. I will be booking with them anytime we need care for our dog in the future! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a loving, responsible boarding option for their pup!”
“Ruth and Agnes took such great care of my Mochi! They sent many pictures and updates of Mochi while I was away and I felt so at ease leaving her there. They were able to give her medicine with no issues as well. Mochi is very spoiled and particular at home and they were able to accommodate all my instructions for feeding and care. Mochi loves it there and gets so excited to go. I highly recommend booking Ruth for any pet care needs.”
“Matt was super easy to work with and took good care of our Aussie, who was hesitant to leave him when we went to pick her up! It’s so nice to find a dog sitter who works from home like we do. Highly recommend Matt.”
“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!”
“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!”
“Ashoka and his son gave my dog a loving home. I asked them 6day boarding for My dog at Christmas holiday. She spent happy time with them. I strongly recommended them.”
“I was a first time boarder and Kathleen and her family helped me and my pup to be at ease in this new space. The photos and updates throughout the stay were amazing. I can definitely see that my dog felt comfortable and welcome. I will definitely return as a customer.”
“Karen was extremely nice, very welcoming of our pup Milo! she kept me updated with videos and pics which really showed how happy and safe Milo was! I really recommend her and will definitely keep booking with her in a future😊😊”
“Maria and Brian were incredible sitters for our dog Felix. They have a warm, inviting home and clearly care very much for the dogs they are watching. Our 6 month old shepherd mix has a ton of energy - he was clearly well exercised he came home so tired! We received regular updates and our dog was so happy to be there that he didn't want to leave! We will definitely be using them again and we highly recommend them for a loving home away from home for your pup. Thank you Maria, Brian (and kids!) for loving our dog as he were a part of your family!”
About: I have experience caring for pets and understand how important it is to provide them with patience, attention, and consistency. I’m comfortable caring for cats with different personalities and needs, including feeding, providing fresh water, cleaning litter boxes, playtime, enrichment, and giving them plenty of attention. I know that every pet has their own routine and comfort level, so I take the time to learn what works best for each animal. I’m responsible, attentive, and careful about following their owner’s instructions so they can feel safe and comfortable while their family is away. My goal is to make every pet feel cared for and give their owners peace of mind knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I’m able to plan my day around the pets I’m caring for and make sure they receive the attention, exercise, meals, and care they need. I’m comfortable adjusting my schedule to accommodate feeding times, litter box care, medications if needed, playtime, and regular check-ins. I enjoy having pets as part of my day, so I’m happy to spend time with them beyond just the basic responsibilities. Whether your cat wants to play, cuddle, explore, or simply have someone nearby, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I’ll also keep you updated throughout the day with photos and messages so you know how things are going. I believe pets deserve to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while their owners are away. I create a calm environment by following each pet’s routine and their owner’s specific instructions closely. I’m attentive to things like doors, gates, food, medications, household hazards, and anything else that could affect their safety. I also take the time to let pets get comfortable with me at their own pace. I never want a pet to feel pressured or overwhelmed. I’ll provide plenty of patience, supervision, affection, and reassurance while keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible. Communication is also important to me. I’ll keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is safe, happy, and being treated with the same care I would want for my own.
“Brembo had a great time with Rebecca and her kids!! He was happy when I picked him up and snoozed the rest of the day!! Will definitely come back for care for Brembo next time.”
“Min and Matthew were exceptional sitters for my girl, Rani! Not only did they play with her endlessly (seriously, Rani has zero ability to self-regulate and they went with it!), they also cared for her as their own pup. When she was being finicky about eating, Min took the time to spoon feed her just like I do. Min also send so many pictures and videos, which helped me feel so at peace knowing Rani was well taken care of and loved. I will definitely be sending Rani back to Min and Matthew’s in the future…the 40 minute drive to/from our place is more than worth it!”
“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!”
“My dog Sprinkie had a great stay with Shiv and his family. Shiv was very easy to set up the stay with him and was quick to respond to any communication. I found having him as a caretaker for my dog a very good thing. I would definitely use him again !”

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 $60 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $35 and $78 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 November 2026, there are 2,135 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.
