“Kim was just as wonderful as last time. She earned our shy cat’s trust one visit at a time and by the end they were buddies! She kept us informed through informative and fun updates as well adorable pictures. Thank you!”
“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 ;)”

“Kacy and Justin were great! We were here in town for 3 days for a family wedding and needed a sitter/walker for our Black Lab. Kacy and Justin took great care of Bella and really made it easy for us to get to all of our events. I would definitely recommend them to other pet parents!”

“KRISTEN WAS WONDERFUL! Kristen took excellent care of our cats while we were away. Kristen’s professionalism was evident from the start when we had a phone call to discuss what we was needed for the cats. Kristen was attentive to detail and made sure she knew the instructions up and down so that she could take great care of our ladies! Kristen sent detailed rover card updates, spent time playing, and even got our shy cat to warm up a little. When we returned, everything was neat and tidy and it was clear the cats were doing great. I sincerely hope we can hire Kristen again in the future!!!”

“It was wonderful having Kristy watch over our outdoor cats. She came every day we arranged with her, and we did not have to worry one bit whether our cats were being cared for during our absence. We weren’t sure if any of the cats would get close enough for her to get a picture, but our little Mandy cat stayed put for great pictures. Even Sheeva showed up and allowed her picture to be taken. We are thankful for Kristy’s attention.”
“Sophia took great care of my cat while I was away. I’ve never had someone watch my cat before and she listened to all of my thoughts and answered my questions kindly. Sophia sent updates and photos while I was away and I am thankful she cared for my cat so well!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Justin is awesome. He cares for my kitty any time I’m away - very attentive to her needs well beyond what I outline for her care. For example, noticing that despite having a water fountain she likes still her water bowl, so he refilled that even though I’d said not to worry about it. He asked follow up questions to make sure Maggie was well cared for, and got great pictures of her, which showed he was clearly laying on the floor to hang out with her because she’s not much of a lap kitty and doesn’t tend to jump up on chairs or anything to make it easier to pet her. In addition, he kindly brought in a package that was delivered during our absence. Also, I have a severe food allergy that he is careful to accommodate while caring for Maggie the cat. Finally, it’s a huge plus and great to know that if needed, Kacy can step in if Justin isn’t available for some reason. Love the team of Kacy and Justin!! Recommend.
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!!!
Shelby is amazing! We really appreciate her detailed notes from each visit. She's thorough, easy to talk to, communicative, and knowledgeable. Our babies loved her! You can tell she genuinely enjoys taking care of animals and getting to know their habits and personalities. We will continue booking her services for future cat-sitting needs for sure. Thanks, Shelby!!!

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.
