“Gina did such a great job taking care of the place and making sure I had regular updates and photos throughout my trip. It meant a lot to have that peace of mind. She is truly an animal lover and I am so glad I found her! Definitely would recommend. Excellent job!”
“Jinah is the best! This was the first time I have ever had to leave my pets with anyone that’s not family and I was very nervous especially having a 4 month old puppy. I quickly realized I had nothing to worry about, Jinah took such great care of them! She sent lots of updates and pictures which I greatly appreciated. I would rebook with Jinah anytime, highly recommend!”
“Lucy was so great! We had a last-minute request that she was able to accommodate, she was great at communicating and sent us cute pics of our pup Capri, and Capri loved her! Would definitely book again (:”
“Ashley took good care of my cat, played with her and sent lots of pictures. She communicates well. My cat really liked her and was relatively calm on my return. I arrived back home to find my house much as I had left it. No problems!”
“Blake was just the kind of sitter we needed and had hoped for! We’d LOVE to use her again in the future. So caring and made us feel very comfortable by sending us photos of the dog’s status/how she was doing, etc. Thank you again, Blake!”
“Thank you, Holly for your service in watching Ryder and being with him. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I loved the pictures you sent from the trips you made to the park. My brother said rides in the car are what he lives for. I appreciate your efforts to entertain him. It helps so much to be relieved knowing there is someone there for him. He gets lonely so easily.”
“Toni is so wonderful. She takes notes and pays attention to all Instructions and details. She’s one of the true dog lovers, and she is so sweet and attentive to Milo. I will certainly ask Toni to come back and help us out again, especially for long periods of time when we go on vacation. Thank you, Toni!”
About: Animals have been a part of our family since before I could remember. As a little girl, my mother worked in the veterinary industry and humane society, so we always had fuzzy friends in and out of our home - and sometimes they became permanent residents of our home. Pets and humans have a unique relationship and I believe it's important to nurture the bond we share with them. I would love to provide a loving experience to your pet and give them the company they need while you are away. I have experience with medication administration and special dietary needs, an for those active dogs who enjoy the company of others, I am happy to take them to the beach or the local dog park. I am a student at the SRJC, and currently have an open schedule. My family has two cats and one dog, which I am very involved in caring for. Making sure their needs are met has always been a normal part of our daily lives. Caring for pets in your home also means making sure that their safety is a priority. I am always careful to make sure that your home is secure in the way that you like. I am cautious of possible environmental hazards for pets young and old, and those who are out and about are always secured on/in a leash, harness, or carrier. I am also able take your pet to the vet if the need ever arises.
“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Rithy! She is timely, communicative and treats your pet like they’re her own. This was my first time using Rover and I feel lucky to have found Rithy. She stayed with Clover for the weekend, texted me photos of their adventures, and she made homemade food for Clover! I think they both had a great weekend together.”
“Alex took great care of our house, elderly dog and young cat. He was very responsive and kept us updated during the trip. Would highly recommend Alex to take care of pets and house!”
“Micki is our go to for checking in on the pups while we are away. We have four pups, and gives them attentive cares and able to navigate their unique needs. We are truly lucky to have her caring for our fur babies 🙏🏽”
“Olivia did an amazing job taking care of our four pups, which includes a senior French bulldog, two very sweet, but very large and powerful Dogo Argentinos, and a second, very mischievous escape artist French bulldog. She took time to understand each dog’s unique personality and tailors her care to each. She was also extremely communicative, and sent us pics multiple times a day. Highly recommend!”
“Josephine dog/housesat for us while we were out of the country for two weeks and was absolutely wonderful! We truly could not have asked for more. She was very quick to communicate, checked in with us daily with pictures and videos, gave our sweet girl lots of walks and attention, and was able to keep up perfectly with her tricky medication schedule. It is very challenging for us to leave our medically complicated pup, but Josephine’s care made it possible and stress free! She left our home very tidy and even went above and beyond changing our sheets, vacuuming our dog hair couch, and harvesting our fruit tree! Very highly recommend Josephine and are looking forward to working with her again!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fredericks
Emma is amazing! We ended up leaving her with an injured dog that needed meds and additional treatment and a sick cat that had to be given pills daily. Her response was: No problem! Her experience as a vet tech was obvious. Upon return the house and our pets were very well taken care of. Thank you Emma!
My dog was clearly happy and well cared for. She was acting like "Welcome back, where's Roisin?" Roisin sent lots of pictures, kept in good communication, took my dog on hikes and walks that we can no longer do. My dog was thrilled and so were we. Roisin stayed over a couple of nights and you'd never know anyone had been here...except for the happy dog. We will definitely asked her back again.
Holly is an amazingly caring, responsible, clean sitter. We have two large dogs and she made sure they were both well cared for. She even read to them just like we do at home. She came to our home and stayed for several days. We will definitely be having her back. If you are lucky enough to hire Holly she’s exactly who you want to watch your dog(s)!
Clair has always been a huge help with watching our dogs and taking care of our house! Lots of updates and the dogs really enjoy her. Her communication is great, our dogs always look like they’re having a good time in her photos, and we come home to a tidy house. I definitely recommend Clair for dog and house sitting.
While planning an overseas trip, our biggest concern was about our crew, 3 cats and 2 dogs. In fact, we had a bad experience a few years ago when our dogs boarded at someone's home so you might say our concern was justified. But those worries melted away when we first met Betsy. She quickly bonded with our pups and even two of our cats who always hide around strangers became Betsy's buddies within a few days. Betsy took great care of the crew, keeping us updated and sending multiple pictures. And even when there was a small hiccup along the way, we appreciated the fact that she was honest about it. She also took good care of our home and I can't recommend her enough.
Lindsay was an absolute blessing. She arrived on time and took great care of my animals. Her attention to our home and animals made our vacation away very relaxed. She also sent constant updates and photos during our time away which we very much appreciated. Highly recommend her!

FAQs for House Sitting - Fredericks
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fredericks on Rover is $83.25 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of House 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 House Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of July 2026, there are 1,039 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fredericks. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Fredericks walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Fredericks maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
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 Fredericks 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!
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 .
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 pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet 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.
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.

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.
