About: I’ve had the pleasure of raising a dog from 9 weeks old to his current 13 years. I’ve been there every step of the way, from puppyhood to adulthood and senior years. Plus, my dog tore his ACL, so I know firsthand the challenges of keeping your pet safe and out of harm’s way, along with the need for special care and instructions. I am currently a senior student athlete in college with a flexible schedule. I wanted to find a part-time job that I would actually enjoy, and I have always loved being near animals. Coming back home to my dog is always the highlight of my trip, so being near dogs and getting to see the joy on their faces has always made me smile. I think pets are happiest when they’re in their own space, so I’d rather work at someone else’s home. Plus, getting to know the dog and the pet owners will really help everyone feel more comfortable.
“Adrienne is thoughtful and caring and very very good at communicating. This is my 3rd time leaving my dog (a somewhat demanding pug) in her care. It will certainly not be our last.”
“Kacy and Justin did another fantastic job looking after our little buddy Bear while we were taking a much needed vacation. It's such a comfort to know that he's receiving such loving care when we're not able to , and they always send such adorable pictures! Highly recommended sitters!”

About: Cats, dogs, critters and reptiles welcome! I have a wide experience of cats and dogs of all ages, from babies to seniors. Rodents, lizards, turtles are also something I’m familiar with! I’ve always had pets in my house growing up. I’ve fostered kittens and volunteered at local animal shelters. I have experienced bottle feedings, house breaking, and senior dogs and handle them all with ease and love. I am currently running my family business and spend most of my weekdays day at home. This allows my weekdays to have flexibility and availability to pet parents who work during the day. My home is located in downtown Frederick and I also have a fenced in backyard. I can easily get to many areas of Frederick quickly and with ease. My pets at home are friendly and welcome guests! We have fostered cats and often have other dogs visit.
“This is our 2nd time using Kim and she is always excellent with our pup. She provided updates including pictures. Not only is Kim very friendly and personable, she is reliable and flexible which works well for us. Highly recommend and will certainly use her again!”
About: Throughout my life I have always had either a cat or dog as pets and have always enjoyed taking care of them. As a dog owner myself, I have a deep appreciation and respect for all breeds which allows me to really bond with them. My patient manner allows them to become comfortable with me very quickly and really provides for a better experience for both myself and the pet being looked after. I have taken care of many different types of breeds and sizes which allows me the knowledge of taking great care of them so you have the peace of mind that your baby is well loved and cared for while away. From puppies to seniors, I am able to handle them all. I am also not shy to dietary restrictions and specific instructions you may have. Hi, I'm Hannah I'm a Frederick local and lifelong animal lover who would be thrilled to care for your pets like they're my own. A little about me: · Proud Frederick local — I know and love this community. · Pet parent to a Boxer-Border Collie mix, so I'm no stranger to energy, smarts, and big personalities · Animal lover through and through — I've never met a pet I didn't adore. Why book with me: · Trustworthy — you can count on me to be reliable and honest · Responsible — I take your pet's routine, safety, and happiness seriously · Friendly — I'll make sure you and your pet both feel comfortable and cared for · Respectful — of your home, your pet's needs, and your instructions My promise: Your animals will be treated like my own — with love, patience, and plenty of attention. Whether it's a walk, a drop-in visit, or an overnight stay, your pets are in good hands. Pet care fits naturally into my everyday routine, so your pets get consistent, reliable attention. I'm up early every morning — no sleeping in around here. My own dog is usually the reason, and I wouldn't have it any other way. That early start means morning walks, feedings, and drop-in visits are easy for me to work into my day. I'm currently in between jobs and heading back to school, which gives me a flexible schedule with plenty of open time during the day. Pet care is a great fit for this season of my life — it works around my classes, and it gives me something I genuinely enjoy doing with my time. I'm married, and together we share our home with our own dog — a Boxer-Border Collie mix. We're also hoping to add another dog to the family soon, so I understand the excitement and the responsibility that comes with a full house of animals. Whether it's an early morning walk, a midday check-in, or an evening visit, I have the time, the flexibility, and the heart for it. Your pets will get the same care, attention, and routine I give my own. I have a fenced in backyard, walking trails, and plenty of space in my home to host your furry friends. Security system is also active and I am home throughout the day.
“Samantha is the best! She's been our dog walker since January, several walks a week! She's professional, courteous, punctual, caring, and attentive. Most importantly, our husky, Merida, is in great hands & one happy dog! -Alyssa & Jim Young”
“Devon was absolutely wonderful with our dogs, who need some training and are very reactive. He was very patient with them and I loved that he sent a rover card so I could see what all he did with them during their walk. I would highly recommend him!”
“David is really great! My parents are really protective over their dogs and David had compassion and jumped right in. One of their dogs is a puppy mill rescue and at times skittish. He is kind, accommodating and understanding. 10/10 recommend.”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Jennifer was great! She was on time and she asked detailed questions about the overall care and expectations of caring for my dog Nala. She took Nala for a walk and Nala had a great time! Jennifer included photos as well from the walk. We will be using her again in the near future!
Kaya is an asset to Rover. She is prompt, communicative, trustworthy and it's clear she has a love of animals. We set up a meet and greet for my dog and she asked all the right questions filing in the gaps of what I forgot or missed. Her reports were thorough and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. I will book Kaya next time I'm in need of a dog walker.
Daphine did a great job with my 85 lb Goldendoodle. My dog is a "handful" but Daphine was skilled enough to gain his trust, encourage him into the leash and on a fun walk (in the rain!). My dog was super happy afterward and seemed to really enjoy being with Daphine. We'll definitely use her services in the future.
Rebecca was amazing with my girl, Hallie! I can tell Hallie enjoyed their time together, she looked so happy in the pics I received. Rebecca is a true animal whisperer. Thank you Rebecca for being so good to Hallie (and for spoiling her with her favorite treats)! Absolutely recommend booking with Rebecca!

Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Frederick. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.

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.
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 walker 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 walker 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 walker for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
walkers 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 walker.
