About: I have taken care of all types of animals all my life. Exotic pets, as well as cats and dogs. I have a kitty baby of my own who I fostdopted In 2018 I have a 9-5 but It’s flexible as i work from home. I can do multiple short visits as needed, I know my baby gets anxious when no one is home. I have the utmost care and respect for animals, they need love attention and affection like any creature. I nurture and speak to them and will give the best treats ( i have a chewy account)
“As always! Sarah took great care of our chaos of cats! She even suggested a great device when we mentioned that one of our fur babies is now on a daily pill, helping us and her handle his stubbornness. So nice to travel with ease knowing our animals are getting great care. Thanks again!”
About: 🐾 About Me Hi there! I’m Kiara — a lifelong animal lover with over 14 years of experience caring for dogs of all breeds, ages, and personalities. From tiny, timid pups to big, energetic adventurers, I’ve learned that every dog has their own unique way of showing love — and I adore getting to know each one. Over the years, I’ve cared for pets through professional services, friends, and families, providing everything from daily walks and cuddle time to medication administration and overnight stays. My priority is always to make your pets feel safe, loved, and right at home while you’re away. 🐶 What You Can Expect • Reliable, communicative, and attentive care • Plenty of photo updates so you can relax while you’re away • A calm, loving environment with playtime, snuggles, and routine care • Experience with senior dogs and pets who need medication Whether your pup loves a long walk, a cozy nap, or just someone to keep them company, I’m here to give them the same love and attention I’d want for my own fur babies. Can’t wait to meet your four-legged family member! 💕 I’m currently focusing on school, because of that I have a very flexible schedule which gives me a bit of extra time to take care of your pets weather is at your home or overnight at mines. I always ask the pet owners what is their daily routine with their fur babies and I will of course continue on with that same daily routine in my own home. I have a small dog and cat who love to cuddle and play! Your fur babies won’t be bored one bit!
“Jennifer did a great job of taking care of our cat! He loved having her stop by and play with him. She was incredibly attentive and kept my home cleaner than I left it! She sent a TON of pictures, which helped to ease my anxiety while I was away. She made sure that Russell was so taken care of and answered any question I had! Highly recommend Jennifer!”
“We had a great experience! She stopped by twice to let our dogs out while we were away and was reliable, communicative, and very caring with them. It gave us peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend!”
“Anhelika IS THE BEST!! This is our second time using her & we feel so confident and comfortable that our little guy is being well taken care of when we are away. She goes above and beyond to play with him, spend time with him, and make sure he gets all the love we would give! To us it feels like this is more than just a job for her and our little guy definitely feels it too. Thank you Anhelika for taking such good care of our fur baby!!”
About: I've taken care of dogs since I was around 7 years old. I was trusted to feed, walk, and taken care of dogs of family and friends. I have experience with basic training commands along with some basic grooming techniques. I am a full-time student at Hood College. I have afternoons and evenings free most days of the week and my weekends are open. I have reliable transportation in and around Frederick so that I can meet the needs of clients and pets alike. I have reliable transportation that can easily accommodate larger dogs if needed or in the case of an emergency. I am Pet CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross.
“Devon came to our apartment last minute to help with the animals when I had to take my daughter to a doctors appointment. He is such a lifesaver and always tries to accommodate my schedule and helping us out!”
“Erika was extremely helpful and patient with Sylvie and Nene and they seemed to like her very much. She was also consistent with providing updates, which were very much appreciated. I was able to relax and not worry about how they were doing while I was away. I will certainly be using her in the future.”
“I will definitely be rebooking with Tracy. She was on professional , took great care of my cats and most importantly my cats were drawn to her energy 💓 which is always a good sign. especially my little one! 😸”
“We hired Katie again to take care of our pets while we were out of town for Christmas and she was great with our pets again! She always sends us plenty of pictures which is always reassuring. Highly recommend hiring her!”
About: I have two dogs of my own, and I am quite experienced with handling dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I have received training on how to better understand the signals that dogs give us in order to determine how they are feeling (scared, excited, cautious, angry, etc.), and I have applied that training to my previous job at a doggy daycare countless times. I graduated college in December of 2016, and I’m still figuring out how to combine my Hospitality Management degree and my passion for caring for animals! I really enjoy dog walking because I find happiness in knowing that I provide comfort and peace of mind to those owners who aren’t able to be with their fur babies in the middle of the day!
“Olivia was so great with my pups! One is super clingy and needy and demanding for the love all of the time and an older male dog who pretty much hates everyone and everything and wears diapers and has incontinence issues - and she was amazing with them! They both were loved well, fed well, she even got my grumpy gus out for (short) walks, kept the house pee free and him diapered, and I'm thrilled with how happy the dogs were when we got home after being gone for a few days. I also loved how well she stayed in contact with us so we could see our pups throughout the day(s) that were gone. We will definitely be using Olivia again! (Thank you Olivia for taking such great care of our babies!)”
About: We’re a dog-loving family with a dog of our own, and caring for animals is part of our everyday life. We treat every dog like one of ours, with attention, playtime, and plenty of affection. Your dog won’t just be supervised, they’ll be cared for and welcomed as part of our pack! We have a large, fully fenced, flat backyard ~ the perfect adventure space for your furbabies! With one of us working from home and the other a teacher, our home runs in a relaxed and organized way. Dogs get regular walks, outdoor time, play, and plenty of interaction throughout the day. We keep things predictable enough for dogs to feel comfortable, and flexible enough to meet their individual needs. We value your dog’s safety and comfort. Our home features a spacious fenced yard for fun play and exercise. We’re attentive to each dog’s needs, energy level, and boundaries, and we take time to ensure everyone feels comfortable. When caring for pets in their own homes, we respect their routine and space, keeping things familiar and stress-free.
About: I’ve been caring for pets since I was 10 and grew up with cats and dogs, so a little chaos doesn’t scare me. I live in downtown Frederick and have two cats of my own, Whiskey and Sangria. I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and make sure every pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. I work from home part-time as a recruiter and also do personal training part-time, which gives me a very flexible schedule and plenty of time at home during the day to give pets lots of attention and care. I care for pets by following their usual routines as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any special instructions provided. I make sure pets are always in a safe, clean, and calm environment, whether in my home or a client’s home. I give plenty of attention, exercise, and affection, and I closely monitor behavior, appetite, and energy levels to ensure pets are happy and comfortable. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel at ease while they’re away.
“Lauren took amazing care of my two cats! She’s very attentive to detail and thorough with pets likes/dislikes and routines. She’s very communicative throughout and sent lots of updates and pictures while I was away”
About: my goal is to provide the best pet, dog and cat sitting service. Read on for how I set out to be that special caregiver for your pets. I came to pets and pet sitting “later in life,” and discovered, with great gratitude, a passion and a gift for taking care of your precious animal companions… because that is what they are, for you and for me. I’m not a casual caregiver, or a friend; I’m not walking your dog or feeding your cat or talking to your bird as a favor to you or as a part-time job or hobby. Nor am I in a hurry to get out of your home, or to ‘fit you in’ between errands. My total focus is your two most precious possessions: Your pets and your property…all day long, usually 7 days a week! I’m a full-time professional pet sitter, dedicated to the loving details of caring for your cats, dogs, birds and even chickens! I believe that pets should be as happy with a sitter as they are when their owners are at home (or close to it!). As one Asheville cat owner put it: “I enjoy your notes immensely. I feel like you know my cats as well as I do after a few short days.”
The median cost per visit for dog sitting in Frederick is $20

Ryan was great with Theo and Gus while we were away. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which made it a lot easier to relax and enjoy our trip knowing they were in good hands. It was clear he gave them plenty of attention, exercise, and care. When we got home, both dogs were happy, relaxed, and acting completely like themselves. We'd definitely trust Ryan to watch them again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter.
I can't say enough good things about Maureen! She has cared for my dog and guinea pigs, and she is a total gem. She was even kind enough to offer a visit to my home before we stared booking. She is always punctual, super reliable, and keeps me updated every step of the way. She has such a warm, kind energy that instantly put my pets (and me!) at ease. It is the best feeling knowing they are in such safe, caring hands. 10/10 recommend!
Olivia was so great with my pups! One is super clingy and needy and demanding for the love all of the time and an older male dog who pretty much hates everyone and everything and wears diapers and has incontinence issues - and she was amazing with them! They both were loved well, fed well, she even got my grumpy gus out for (short) walks, kept the house pee free and him diapered, and I'm thrilled with how happy the dogs were when we got home after being gone for a few days. I also loved how well she stayed in contact with us so we could see our pups throughout the day(s) that were gone. We will definitely be using Olivia again! (Thank you Olivia for taking such great care of our babies!)
Shelby was fantastic. It was a pleasure to meet her briefly ahead of the planned visits. She took time to connect with the pups so she wouldn’t be “stranger danger” to them, asked about likes and quirks, and from the pics, they had a blast with her. Super communicative and we had a great, worry-free time knowing they were in her care. Thanks, Shelby! We’ll be booking again!
We were lucky enough to be her very first client on Rover, and we can already tell she is going to be wonderful. She took such great care of our senior dog, who can be picky about going outside depending on the weather. Rather than forcing the issue, she patiently tried to coax her out and, when my dog wasn’t having it, she simply stayed in and cuddled with her instead. That kind of patience and attentiveness means everything when it comes to an older dog. We could tell our girl loved her right away! We have already recommended her to a few friends, and we will absolutely be booking her again.
Sarah was absolutely wonderful with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Bella! This was my first time using Rover, so naturally this dog mommy was a little nervous leaving my baby in someone else’s care—but Sarah immediately put my mind at ease. She was reliable, communicative, caring, and sent thoughtful updates with photos during every visit, which meant so much while I was away. I loved seeing where Bella was walked and getting those check-ins—it truly helped me relax and enjoy my trip knowing Bella was in such good hands. When I returned home, Bella was happy, well cared for, and clearly had been given love and attention. Sarah also followed Bella’s routine and special instructions, which I really appreciated. I would absolutely book with Sarah again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and attentive to care for their fur baby! 💚🐶

A pet sitter can provide focused care sessions, help your pet’s routine stay on track, or keep you updated on your pet’s mood and energy levels.
Whether you’re at the office for the day or traveling for a few nights, a pet sitter can offer potty breaks during a Frederick stroll, cleaning the litter box, or making sure your pet has on-time food or water refills. For daytime services like walking and drop-ins, you can also request sitters to send a report card with every visit.
Tip: You can discuss your specific arrangements with a pet sitter on Rover to what fits you, your pet, and your sitter’s needs. To find what their special skills are, look at the "Skills" and "Pet care experience" sections on their profile.
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 short introductory meeting between you, your dog, 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.
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.

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.
