“I have never used the Rover service before, but I had a three week trip planned and didn’t have many other options. I was THRILLED to find someone local to the area with such great reviews, so I decided to give the service a try. I’m so glad I did! I met with Emily once before to go over everything and right away I knew my pet was in good hands. Emily was reliable, communicative, and went above and beyond throughout the stay. I will definitely be using her again for future trips!”
“Denise really is the best. When it comes to our babies we put full trust in her. She takes such good care of them and it’s obvious they love her too! I highly recommend her for watching your dogs.”
“Kaitlyn was outstanding. She took great care of our dogs, and went above and beyond, sending me tons of great pics and details of the visits. Would highly recommend.”
“Sherry is great and so helpful. My Saxon is getting used to being with her (4th drop-in visit) and is so relaxed when I get home. Just knowing Sherry can stop by to give Sax a good break and plenty of attention is SO helpful.”
About: I always joke to friends that we have a zoo! I am truly an animal lover through and through! We currently own 2 horses, 3 Great Danes (“horse-lite” haha), 2 special needs cats with cerebellar hypoplasia (the wobbles), a green cheek conure and a ball python. In addition to dogs and cats, in the past I have also owned an iguana, hedgehog, ferret, red-eared slider turtle, goats, llamas and probably something else that I’ve forgotten. I mention this only to say that I am not scared of helping out with whatever animal that you have. I am comfortable administering medications or helping with special needs animals. I am also comfortable helping with horses and livestock in addition to household pets. Let me know how I can make your time away from home as worry-free as possible!! I am currently at home full-time and I am available to drop in to feed and interact with your animals multiple times throughout the day. I follow your instructions for how you’d like your pets contained during the times when I would not be at the house. I only walk animals at your instruction.
“I was very grateful that Shellee agreed to help me with LaRue even though she asked for a days notice she was able to help me the same afternoon and did quite a bit with LaRue. I highly recommend her services. I will be calling on her again!”
“Sabrina is amazing! My pups loved having her come over and she kept me and my girlfriend updated with pictures and videos. She not only let our dogs out during her drop in visits but she stayed for 30-45 minutes and played with them and gave them lots of attention. I will definitely be using her again and would recommend her to any of my friends here in town!”
“Thank you to Kylie for taking care of my little senior Beau. We felt very comfortable with her and though it was just a one day of drop ins we are so appreciative of her helping us out while we were away. Thank you for keeping me informed of the visits.”
“Madysen is THE best! She is so thorough with the reports she sent and sent us so many pictures of our sweet boy while we were gone. Will most definitely be asking her to take our pup again! We really felt like our dog was given all the love and care he needed in our absence.”
About: I have grown up taking care of a wide range of animals. I grew up with pit bulls. I currently have two cats and a Newfoundland puppy. Your pets are in great hands! :) Back in Texas caring for pets ! I am currently staying in Texas for September, but I am very flexible at the moment for any pet care needs. Shoot me a message and I will always try to reply ASAP. I have a fenced yard. All my pets are other pet friendly. I’m very attentive and available for any needs. Can be flexible and do multiple visits.
About: Hello! My name is Jordan and I'm looking to pet sit for you and your loved ones. I've cared for puppies and elderly dogs, shy and outgoing dogs, and dogs of all breeds and needs. No matter the type of dog(s) you have, I look forward to befriending and caring for them! I make sure to listen to your dog’s body language to see what they are asking for. Their tails, eyes, and body is their way of communicating their needs, wants, and feelings. Alongside their body language, I'll also follow any directions and make sure they feel safe and content by replicating their usual schedule. I don't mind taking care of chores around the house, like watering your plants or checking the mail. I will also make sure to send lots of pictures, videos, and updates to keep your heart at ease. A little about me: I am a 25 year old digital artist and a graduate from Kennesaw State University. I lived in Georgia all of my life until I moved here in 2024 with my partner. In my free time, I enjoy drawing, playing video games, reading, and baking. I’m thankful to say that pet sitting is currently my full time job! I’ve had lots of luck as a cat sitter on Meowtel and would like to expand my services to this platform, too. I usually plan my days around my clients’ schedules, meaning I can take care of your pet at any time. The safety and comfort of your loved ones are a priority of mine, so I try to stick to their usual schedule. Whether that means feeding times that come early in the morning or in the middle of rush hour! I’ve got you and your furry friend’s back. I always prioritize safety and trust when it comes to animals. Animals are very sensitive to change, especially because we can’t communicate to them what’s going on (not yet, at least.) For that reason, I try to bring in a positive and calm attitude, letting your pet decide what they are comfortable with and making sure they know I’m not a threat. I do this by moving confidently, but not quickly. I don’t make loud noises and I make sure your pet knows where I am. It’s important to me that they don’t think I’m trying to sneak around and to make sure they feel included with whatever I’m doing around their own environment. I give them space and don’t try to force any affection from them. If they want pets, I trust they will ask for them!
About: I have taken care of my own and others pets for 50+ years. I have 3 indoor dogs of my own and have become the official ball thrower to the smallest of my pets because she loves to play fetch. I also care for the Hummingbirds yearly that visit my yard from March till September. I have a full time job but can feed, walk and care for your pets needs after 5 on weekdays and all weekend beginning at 5 on Friday evening. I will care for your pets with as much love as I do my own. Pets are our family and need to be treated and loved as we would our own. I will honor all likes, food choices and instructions given regarding the animals in your home.
About: Lifelong dog and cat owner experienced with daily care, walks, feeding, medications, and giving pets patient, loving attention in a safe, dependable, and caring environment. After a long career in public education, I’m embracing this next chapter with open arms — and open doors. Your cats and dogs won’t just be watched; they’ll be genuinely enjoyed, with all the time and attention they deserve.” Your pet’s safety and your peace of mind are my top priorities. As a retired educator, I bring the same watchful eye and calm, steady presence to every visit that I brought to the classroom for years. Whether it’s a leisurely walk or a drop-in visit, you can count on me to show up, pay attention, and treat your pets — and your home — with the utmost respect and care.
“Kirsten is absolutely FABULOUS! She communicated with me every step of the way, sent lots of photos, and took extra special care of my dog while providing walking and feeding services. She went above and beyond! Highly recommend her for your pet care needs!”
“Sherri was absolutely fantastic! Our Poppy is still so small and requires a great deal of care and attention, and Sherri was exceptional in providing us updates, the best pics, and most importantly loving our Poppy in our absence. And dog owner would be so fortunate to have Sherri care for their fur babies! She is the best!”

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 81 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fredericksburg. 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 Fredericksburg 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 administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies 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 request a 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.
