“When looking for a sitter, Erikas profile stood out to me. I could tell from that she was extremely caring. I knew already knew she was going to be good, but I can happily say she exceeded my expectations. She went above and beyond with keeping the cats area tidy and updating me with details and pictures. I highly recommend!!!”
“Once again an awesome experience with Misty and Fiona. They sent notes and pictures from every visit and we could clearly see that our girls were comfortable and well taken care of. This is the second of many more bookings in the future. Highly recommend- 5 stars”
“Claire is awesome! I’m currently recovering from a knee injury so she has been very helpful with ensuring my dog Rocco gets his daily exercise. She’s very friendly and professional and does a great job sharing updates with pictures. Highly recommend!”
“So many great things to say about Lauren but I’ll keep this short. Rover can be a bit daunting for a first time customer. We hit the jackpot with Lauren! She was just amazing with our two pups - one of which requires daily medication.”
“We had such a wonderful experience with Lauren! She was prompt, communicative, and even stopped by before our trip to meet us and the cats, which gave us so much peace of mind. She followed all of our feeding instructions perfectly and sent us daily updates with plenty of photos of the cats (and their food!), which we really appreciated while we were away. She also made sure to spend quality time playing with them. It’s clear how much she truly loves animals. We came home to two very happy cats! We will absolutely use her again and would highly recommend her to any family and friends. Thank you, Lauren!”
“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!”
“Maegan was fantastic! She showed up on time, everytime which is far different than sitters we have had previously. She was great with our dogs and they seemed to have thoroughly enjoyed her visits! Strongly recommend her!”
“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!”
About: I understand that leaving your pet alone can be extremely stressful, but there’s no need to worry! I absolutely love animals and I have the patience to work with any - big or small! I promise to provide the same level of care to your pet as I would my own. I am a high school teacher, so I am currently available only on weekends. However, for the holidays and during summer break I typically stay local so if you are going to be traveling please take me into consideration! I am very comfortable working with dogs in their homes. If they need to be walked, I can easily handle putting on a leash and picking up after them. I am also comfortable handling any toys, food, or medicine your pet may need.
“Kaylie did a great job dropping in for my cats Panda and Sakura. She sent amazing messages and photos and the cats were happy and well taken care of. I would use her again for future care.”
“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.”
“Lily was great to work with. It was so easy to communicate with her and she always responded promptly. I believe my cats had a good time with her. I definitely would like to work with her again if she's available.”
“We couldn’t be happier with the incredible care Justine provided while we were away! She went above and beyond to ensure our kitties felt safe, loved, and comfortable in our absence. From thoughtful updates and adorable photos to her genuine affection and attention to detail, it was clear our kitties were in the best hands. We came home to relaxed, happy cats—and a perfectly maintained home. Truly exceptional service—we wholeheartedly recommend Justine to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate cat sitter and will definitely be using her again!”
“We love Taylor! She takes great care of our fur babies, sends lots of daily pictures, and provides great updates. It really gives us peace of mind when we are away from home. Will be booking again soon!”
About: I have been around dogs since I was young and caring for them since I was able. Now I love all pets and have been pet sitting for friends and family for a while. I look forward to caring for yours! I am currently doing asynchronous online classes so I can make the time whenever I am needed. So feel free to call on me any time. I am very confident and careful around pets. I have successfully cared for both incredibly skittish and overly affectionate animals. I know I can take care of your pet.
“Excellent pet care!!!!!!! Aubrey was a blessing. It was our first time away from two of our cats. We weren't certain how they would respond, especiallyPercy who has attachment issues to his "dad" and whines when he leaves the house. They were happy and well cared for by Aubrey. A relief for both us and our fur family. I highly recommend Aubrey to care for your furry friends!”
About: i’ve been walking/ taking out dogs since i was 13 for friends and family. i love dogs so much, they deserve the care and attention they need. i enjoy bonding with new dogs and learning more and more about each breed. i can’t wait to be your dogs best friend! currently searching for a job to fit me, but in the meantime would love to take care of some furry friends! i am available pretty often and i have my own little dog at home, so im used to taking care of her! i have a dog named willow. she is the sweetest king charles cavalier spainel ever! she loves meeting new friends. i don’t have a fenced in yard because we have a big back yard with a lot of woods, but there is a dog park near me with a big open field fenced in that my dog loves!
About: Teacher by day - dog walker by night! I teach preschoolers, which can be a lot, so I love to spend my spare time with dogs to help me destress. I’ve been caring for dogs ever since I was little. I used to be a dog sitter/walker for my neighbors growing up, and ever since I haven’t stopped! I’m available to walk any size dog, and I am available to walk dogs on the weekend. I’m the perfect choice to walk your dog! 👩🏫 I am flexible on the time and am available to do weekends. I am on summer break so will be available for most of the day. I have a lot of experience crating, feeding, taking dogs out, and potty training. I make sure they do not chew on unwanted things and stay off furniture.

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
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!
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!
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.

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 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.
