“We left Harper with Carole for 2 weeks while we were on vacation and Carole was great. Sent us daily photos of Harper playing with other dogs. Thank you Carole for taking such good care of her!”
“Tiffany took wonderful care of Koda while I was away. She stayed in contact with photo updates, and I could tell Koda was well adjusted and happy to be there!”
“Jennifer saved us with a last minute booking and it was a great experience for our pup. We will definitely book with her again. She kept us posted with updates and pics. Easy meet and greet because she only takes 1 animal at a time and does not have a pup, so I didn't need to worry about Sully getting along with another pup. Such a relief and peace of mind.”
“Sheryl is sensitive to the needs of her canine guests. My dog, Rufus, is older and doesn’t run with the big dogs. Sheryl understood that Rufus needs a quieter environment. I felt good that Sheryl provided a safe place for Rufus while we were on vacation. I will rebook with her.”
“Wendy and Daniel were absolutely wonderful. We get nervous leaving our Boston terrier if the person is not familiar with the brachiocephalic breed and they made us so comfortable at the meet and greet! Barney had the best time and can’t wait to book again.”
“Jetzy was awesome with our little frenchie. She provided daily updates, and was able to accommodate his special needs. Our dog had a ton of fun with Captain. Would absolutely recommend and use Jetzy and family again!”
“Sruthi and Abha were wonderful with our senior dog! They were very attentive to her and were fantastic about giving us updates! We would definitely book with them again!”
“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful care and communication! We couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. She kept in touch throughout her stay and sent daily photos, which gave us total peace of mind. It was obvious our dog was getting excellent, attentive care, and she came home visibly happy and relaxed. We’ll absolutely be booking again and highly recommend!”
“Anacelia and family took great care of our two Boston terrier girls. She provided us with updates, and gave them lots of love and attention. Thank you for taking great care of our girls!”
“Shamira was amazing with Loki. She send me updates daily and made sure to let me know how Loki was doing throughout the day. She was super flexible with drop off and pick up which I really appreciated and was comfortable administering his eye medication. We’re definitely booking with her again. Thank you Shamira!”
“Jim is a great sitter and you can tell he really cares about the dogs he watches. I was referred to Jim and know a few people who bring their dogs for him as well. Being a pet owner it’s the greatest relief to know your dogs are being well cared for and see your dog immediately trust him. He also updates you with photos so you know what they’re up to. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him in the future. Thanks!”
“Kim is the absolute best! My dog has such a good time playing with Kim and her other guests. She is so communicative and sends lots of text updates with pictures and videos. We will be returning to Kim for our future dog sitting needs :)”
“Richard made us feel so comfortable leaving Roxy with him and his family. We received pictures during the day of our Roxy feeling very relaxed and at home!! We are so glad to have found Richard!!”
“Gregory was very responsive to my last minute request for boarding. My dog is little and anxious, and I was not sure how she would do with another dog as large as Koda, Gregory’s dog. But Koda turned out to be very well trained and had a lovely calm demeanor. Maya was very comfortable and I will definitely be using Gregory again!”
“Joel was fantastic. He sent me updates multiple times throughout the day with tons of pictures. He has a beautiful home, big back yard and 2 friendly dogs that are now BFFs with mine. I would book again with him in a heartbeat.”
“Meagen is your dogs home away from home. We left Charly for the first time with her in February and we have used Meagen several times since. She welcomes your pup at the front door like it is her own. Charly comes back to our home like she never left. When we are away Meagen keeps us updated with pictures and videos . I could not enjoy my time away if Charly wasn’t with Meagen and her family!!!!”
Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Frederick
Jenna was AWESOME while watching Nana when we went on vacation. It was a very last-minute request, and we got stuck in traffic on the way home (unavoidable) so we even ran a bit late at pick-up, but Jenna could not have been more accommodating and kinder! Nana loved her time with Jenna and her family, and we loved seeing the pictures while we were away! :)
Jenna was great! When I dropped off our dog, she asked great questions and listened to each answer. She clearly loves taking care of pets. During our 2 nights away from Ziggy, Jenna sent pictures and comments about how he was doing. We would definitely use Jenna again and recommend her to others.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
Rover is the largest marketplace for local pet care. Whether you're looking for pet sitters, dog walkers, or house sitters who specialize in pet sitting, you can narrow your search by entering your ZIP code to find sitters within walking distance in your neighborhood.
Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, daily exercise may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Frederick home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Frederick.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Frederick sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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.
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.
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in PA ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
