“Kayla is a fantastic cat sitter. My cat doesn’t warm to people quickly, but Astrid made friends with Kayla on the first day. I lt was such a relief to know that my cat was so being well cared for while I was gone.”
“The boys were taken care of and well loved by Rebecca! I recieved progress pictures and came home to happy pups. I very much appreciated her staying with them on very short notice and on Christmas. Will absolutely call on her again.”
About: Hi! I’ve had a dog since I was a toddler and I’ve always been fascinated by dogs/pets, and caring for them. I love spending time with them, playing, walking and having fun! I’ve always considered them an extended part of my family, which makes me understand how importante they are in our lives and that they have needs just like everyone does! Part of those needs are caring, helping them keep themselves active, proper feeding and to stay healthy, no matter their age, breed or condition. Time apart from them can be tough, but by showing love and care, I help them to relax, have a good time, and to wait for you to be back with them! 🤗 I currently work part time, which gives me a lot of flexibility, and time to spend with my furry friends 🐶 I also have a car, that lets me move quicker and helps me attend my pet-guests 🥰 I have a large fence backyard and a sweet brown lab named Cocoa, who’s always happy to receive guests! In case our furry friend is not interested in having company, she likes giving them space. There’s plenty of room to keep them separate 🧘🏽
“Samantha is a very nice person whom takes excellent care of our Maisey. We have worked with her several times and find her to be a very honorable and caring person.”
About: While I’m newer to professional pet care, I have plenty of love and attention to give your furry family member! I’m happy to walk, play with, cuddle, and care for your dog as if they were my own. I understand how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s care, and I’ll always treat them with patience, kindness, and lots of affection. I’m also happy to follow your dog’s usual routine and send plenty of updates and pictures along the way. My goal is simple: you feel comfortable while you’re away, and your pup gets a new friend who is genuinely excited to see them. Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, and I have flexibility throughout the week for walks, drop-in visits, feeding, playtime, and companionship. I’m happy to work with each pet’s usual routine whenever possible, whether they need an energetic walk or just some company and attention while their person is away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your pet and entering your home. I’ll follow your care instructions closely, respect your pet’s normal routine and boundaries, and make sure they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also happy to provide photos and updates during visits so you know how your pet is doing.
“Heidi was a wonderful sitter for our two Havanese and little parakeet. She sent pictures and updates and was very responsive with texts. Our girls loved her, and we will definitely be asking her to watch them again! Thank you so much for taking such good care of them!”

My sister has a big dog who I also enjoy being around! I am currently college student training to become a nurse! I’m looking for a seasonal job for over the summer! I love being active so taking care of dogs would be perfect! I am correctly working a part time job as a hostess at a restaurant but I’d love to do rover on my days off! I will treat pets like my family. I love making pets happy and feel loved. I will adhere to all costumer requests! I will make sure the dog is happy and well taken care of!

About: I am a pre-vet student studying biology at Hood College. I prioritize client relationships and informed care when taking care of your animal. I have pre-professional experience with both small and large animal medicine as well, and currently work at Gentle Giants Draft Horse rescue. Rest assured, your family member will be treated with a gentle hand, a big heart, and the expectation that they are safe, happy, and healthy while you are away. Thank you for trusting me with the care of your animal! - Caroline (Kitt), Pickle, and Sandy As a pre-vet college student with sitting as a secondary income, I am available all day Sundays, as well as evenings on Wednesdays and Fridays. Communication is critical from all parties to ensure safety and quality of care in your absence. I ensure that all directions left are followed carefully and correctly to keep your pet safe and within their comfortable boundaries. You will be sent regular updates about your animal when I am with them. Pets are never left on their own when I am there to care for them.
About: Animals have been a huge part of my life since I was young. I grew up caring for various pets, including fish, birds, and cats. During my studies in Turkey and while living with family, I cared for dogs and helped raise them hands on. I treat every pet with genuine love, patience, and attentiveness, making sure they feel safe, happy, and well cared for while you're away. I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to be present and attentive. Whether it's feeding, playing, or regular check in, I can easily adapt my daily routine to fit your pet's exact needs, ensuring they receive constant care, love, and attention throughout the day Pet safety, comfort, and well being remain absolute top priorities. A calm, secure, and loving environment is provided by closely following specific instructions regarding feeding, routines, and daily care
“Renee took care of our senior dogs for a week including administering meds and we came home to happy dogs. Even though they didn't require walks she stayed and sat with them for the full time while they went out back. Thank you Renee! We will be sure to use you next time we have to leave.”
About: What sets me apart from other sitters is that caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s a part of my everyday life. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs since I was 10 years old, and I have pets of my own, so I understand just how important it is to find someone you can trust. Whether it’s an energetic puppy who needs playtime or a senior cat who just wants a calm, cozy space, I treat every pet with the same love, patience, and attention I give my own. As an adult student with a flexible schedule and plenty of free time, pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine. I love having that extra time to give each pet the attention and care they deserve — whether that means daily walks, play sessions, feeding, or just being there to keep them company. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and available when pet parents need someone they can count on. Whether I'm caring for pets in my home or in a client’s home, I focus on making them feel safe, comfortable, and loved. In my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment where animals can relax, play, and feel right at home. I stick to their usual routines — feeding times, walks, medication if needed — and make sure they get plenty of attention and care. When I’m in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely to keep their pets on a familiar schedule. I take time to bond with each pet, provide updates to the owners, and make sure their home stays clean and secure while they’re away. No matter the setting, I treat every pet as if they were my own — with patience, love, and full attention to their needs.
About: I’ve taken care of a variety of pets for friends and family. I care for our pets’ emotional health in addition to physical health. I like to make sure our pets get a lot of mental stimulation. I’ve helped with training puppies, bathing dogs and introducing new pets to each other (cats and dogs). My husband and I both work from home so we spend most of our time with our pets at home. We also enjoy training sessions and setting up puppy play dates with our pups. For our cats we have food puzzles for their mental stimulation. Our pets are a part of our family! We spend most of our time playing and snuggling with them. We also enjoy spending time learning each of their personalities.
“Taylor is fantastic! She is really accommodating, communicative, and takes the best pictures of our kitties to send us each day that she visits. We love getting the pictures and the updates, it puts our minds at ease while we're away. We will definitely call Taylor the next time we travel!”
About: I have grown up with animals and currently volunteer at the AWLF animal rescue. Time with animals is a treat for me. I have an affinity and understanding of cats and their multiple personalities :) I am able to administer pills to cats/dogs most of the time, also have experience injecting medication via needle. I am a distance runner so walks/ playtime with your pup is perfect for me. I also have experience with bunnies. I am an advocate for giving pets a safe atmosphere and reading their cues. I know time away from their parents can cause stress, I am here to help. I work from home so I am very flexible! Just please give me a 48 hour notice of your needs to ensure I can accommodate. In the clients home I will respect boundaries set and lead with love in you & your pets home. I am happy to go on walks, to the dog park, vet if needed, etc. If an extended stay is necessary I can accommodate to work from your home on my laptop. I have my own transportation and am flexible for drop ins. I have a maine coon cat that is the king of my house. I can watch your pet at my house but your pet would be in a confined level of my home away from my kitty. I would make accommodations for them and accompany them at all times. I have a fenced in small yard and sidewalks/dog parks nearby.
About: I currently have 3 domestic short hair cats, a tortoise and 3 gold fish i regularly feed and maintain! I have experience with providing oral and injectable medication. I am very active so dog walking or keeping pets engaged is no problem! My favorite breeds are boarder collies, Australian shepherds, and labradors 🖤 I currently work full time with the exceptions of Mondays as I am currently also enrolled in college! My best available times are Friday evening- Monday evening after 5:30 pm I have 3 cats, who I give my undivided attention to. I maintain a set schedule when I feed them and adjust as needed and provide the proper grooming care.
“Rachel was great with our dog & cat. She was punctual, reliable, and our fur babies took to her so quickly. She sent me so many pictures of them cuddled up on her so if you believe that a dog is a good judge of character, then Rachel is the best. We will use her in the future & would recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter!”
“Alexandra is awesome! She made my trip away from home stress free and took great care of my two cats for me while I was gone. She has excellent communication skills and works to make sure you are reassured while away!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Can't say enough about Justin - he's the dog whisperer. Our dog is usually very excited and nervous when someone new comes in and at his "meet and greet" with Olive, she instantly calmed down and started asking for pets. :-) He was very communicative while we were away - it was comforting!
Kristy was responsive, compassionate, and took the time to notice and appreciate each of our animals’ needs and personalities. Everyone seemed happy and satisfied when we got home in the evening which gave us such peace of mind. We’re so grateful for her time and availability! Would highly recommend to other pet parents.
Delores was absolutely wonderful! She was so kind, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure Mello was well taken care of. I especially appreciated how communicative she was throughout the visit. She sent me frequent updates and pictures of Mello, which gave me so much peace of mind! It was clear that she genuinely cared about him, and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. I'm so grateful for her help and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pup!
Genevieve is an AMAZING sitter! My dog, Ruby, is a quirky girl and can be hesitant around new people, but Genevieve was understanding and patient and dropped by a couple times before our trip to make some proper introductions. She was super communicative the entire time we were away and I felt so at ease knowing my Ruby was in good hands. We highly recommend!!!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Dog Sitting in Frederick is $21 per visit as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $17 and $28 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.
As of November 2026, there are 4,622 sitters on Rover offering Dog Sitting across Frederick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
To find sitters in Frederick with recurring or weekly availability, select "Repeat Weekly" and which days you’d like them to care for your pet.

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.
