“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.”
About: I'm an early bird gets the worm so I have wanted to start walking dogs for families or busy people that need to go to work. Trust me to take care of your pet! Working part time so it goes well into my routine. I am very flexible and can work with your schedule. Either mornings or evenings works for me I can make sure your pets have clean water and been fed properly. If they need oral medication I can make sure they take what they need
“Leslie is wonderful! I feel so much better knowing that our newly adopted dog has a break from the crate while we are at work. I love seeing the photos and detailed updates after her visits.”
“Hands down the best pictures of our pets lol. Really attentive and caring, Kacy looked after our dog and cat as well as we could have hoped for. 10 out of 10!”
About: As the go-to person for friends in need of dog-sitting, I recently figured "Why not expand?", hence my decision to register with Rover. Setting dogs and their people at ease brings me joy! I've had two dogs over the past 20 years: one slightly demonic and requiring special precautions, and the other a big, gentle galoot. Both absolutely stole my heart. I work from home and am available for walking (give me allll the exercise) and sitting (give me allll the cuddles). I work from home with a very flexible schedule, so I'm around to give attention as needed, 7 days/week. I'm an early riser (6:30 give or take), so early walks or breakfasts would be no problem. I have a fenced yard that would be secure for all but the most accomplished escape artists. Your pet would have full access to all parts of the house (including furniture). That said, if crating, furniture restrictions, etc. work better for you and your dog, I would happily honor your typical rules and routines.
“Rose was wonderful and easy to work with! I never had to worry about anything with her. She is prompt, communicative, reliable, and most importantly great with my dog. We were both so lucky to work with her over the past 8 weeks. I’d book her again in a heartbeat.”
“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!”
“Super duper dogwatch trooper! Provided regular updates and timely pics. Great attention to detail, remembering little quirks I told her about our dog. I’d say even nicer things, but I’d rather keep her a secret ;)”
“First time using Kristy for our dogs and she was exceptional. She was great at updating us after every visit and the dogs seemed to be in great spirits when we made it back from our trip, which is a testament to her good nature with animals. Will absolutely book her again.”
“Jess was wonderful with my little Aussie — she was patient when taking her for a walk and made sure she could romp around our yard, but also made sure her paws were clean when she came in. She also made sure to check in on our other animals to make sure everyone had what they needed. Looking forward to continuing to work with Jess.”
“Once again, Chrissy did a fabulous job in taking care of my cats when I went on a quick vacation. She sent multiple photos each time she visited and let me know how each of them were doing. She did not need any prompting as she send photos and updates before I could even ask for them. She is my one and only sitter that I absolutely trust 110%! Thank you, Chrissy! The cats miss you already!”
“Daphine was wonderful with Quinn dog. Quincy loved her [which was expected since he loves almost everyone]. She followed all instructions that were provided. I really appreciate her communicating with me about slight changes in plans, it gave me a peace of mind. Thank you so much Daphine, I'm happy to say I can count on you whenever needed.”
“Amazing!!!!! We couldn’t have asked for a better experience with Lauren! She was so kind and attentive, and it was clear she genuinely cared for our cat. We appreciated the updates and photos—it really put us at ease while we were away.😊 I’d absolutely recommend Lauren’s services to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful sitter. 10/10!”
“Kristen does such an amazing job with my dog. She's a high anxiety dog who was a rescue and abused and she doesn't do well with new people and loud noises but my dog loves Kristen! She's the only other person who has ever been able to walk her when I wasn't present except family! Would most definitely hire her again!”
“We had to leave our boys at home and needed someone for drop in visits for walking and feeding. Overcame the nerves and booked Jenny who came highly recommended….. all was great as Jenny bonded with our pups and they were well taken care of. We will use Jenny and Rover again!”
“This was my first experience using a dog walker via Rover and I’m so thankful that I ran across Dominique’s profile. She was amazing! She calmed my anxiety with leaving my dogs in someone else’s care, she was sweet and caring with my dogs and her communication was impeccable. I seriously cannot be more thankful to her!!! Please consider her for your pet care needs.”
“Miriam took great care of our cats and we appreciated all the photos and updates. She was very responsive and easy to book with, even though we requested last minute due to our pet sitter cancelling before our 2+ week trip.”
The median cost per visit for pet sitting in Frederick is $20
Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Kim saved our kitty (and us) in a pinch when the cat needed some extra attention (wound care) just as we had a flight coming up! Our kitty obviously adored her. She also went out of her way to spoil our girl with treats and play and brushing and snuggling. Above that, she also kept an eye on our house for us —even stopped an ant invasion!
First time using Rover - wonderful experience! Erika stopped by for a quick meet and greet visit, showed up on time, took notes and asked follow up questions. The drop-in visit went, again on time, followed all instructions, provided wonderful pictures and the cats seemed to enjoy her company. Looking forward to having her watch our kitties again in the future!
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!)
Sophia was good for my cat. She is only a year and 4 months old and very timid and shy. She did not come out of hiding for a few days but gradually showed her face just a little bit. Eventually she let her pet her and brush her and play with her. I was so relieved. It took a lot of patience.
Shelby was absolutely amazing. She always kept me completely up to date on what was going on with my pet and spent so much time with her and sent loads of pictures. She took so much care of my little girl. I would recommend her to anyone looking for anyone needing someone to look after their babies. I will definitely hire her again.
Delores was absolutely incredible! She took great care to gain the trust of my typically timid kitten, Dixie, and was even able to (repeatedly) help get her collar back on when Dixie had accidentally pulled it off. Delores was consistently easy to contact, exceptionally patient with the cats, and overall a wonderful pet sitter. She made leaving my pets home alone for the first time completely stress free, and I will definitely be asking her to watch Maisie and Dixie again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Sitting in Frederick on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet Sitting easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Pet Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 4,968 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Frederick. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Frederick. On Rover:
- 91% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 92% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, 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.
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.
