“Anna was absolutely fantastic! She sent photos everyday keeping me comfortable that my girl was taken well care of and enjoying her presence as well. She was a wonderful house guest and went above and beyond to make it seem like she wasn’t even there. I will definitely be booking Anna in the future.”
“Stephanie is perfect and provides excellent service. She cared for our house and two dogs (Tilly & Copper) for a week as if we were home. We received many updates and photos (Stephanie takes great pics too). We were late getting back and she waited until we were on the way to the house! We have already booked her for our next trip and are so happy that we have someone we trust and whom our dogs love.”
“Juliann was incredible! She consistently updated me on Murphy with photos and videos. She cleaned up messes that Murphy made in addition to keeping my house clean. She was not hesitant to ask any questions which gave me peace of mind that she wanted to give the best care she could to Murphy. She was accommodating to changes and responded fast. I am so appreciative Murphy received such good care while I was gone. Thank you Juliann!”
“Joeli was excellent! She was very attentive and loving to Dallas and even took him on a walk around the neighborhood—which he absolutely loved! Will definitely book her again! 🥰”
“Dustin is hands down the best and a perfect fit for my nugget! I have used a few sitters off of Rover but none of them were the right fit! When I am away my pup tends to give everyone a run for their money. She was completely comfortable with Dustin and there were no behavioral issues in my absence! Plus he provided a perfect level of communication and pictures! I will only use his services in the future!”
“My best friend 🐾 is fighting cancer and Lucas was awesome with him. He made sure my good boy got plenty of attention, meds on time, and he gave me a lot of peace of mind when I wasn’t comfortable using a kennel anymore. Highly recommended. Your pets will be in good hands with Lucas.”
About: I’ve been in the veterinary field for 5 years and animal care is my passion! I’ve taken care of all animals from cats and dogs to birds and reptiles. I am a cat mom of three rescues and they’re everything to me. I can’t wait to meet your fur babies! :) I currently work 4 days a week at an animal hospital. I am available to walk anytime after 6pm during the week and I have open availability over the weekend! I have a lot of experience playing with and caring for cats and dogs! I am also an active walker so I am more than comfortable going on long walks!
“Peyton did a FANTASTIC job with my dogs and cat, as usual! She did a great job overnight, giving lots of love and attention to my needy dogs, and giving them medications and supplements. I highly recommend Peyton!”
“I’m always very nervous when I have to leave my pup because he has separation anxiety, but he connected so well with Allie and she gave him so much extra love! She went above and beyond sending me pictures and updates multiple times a day and left no room for worry. I’ll definitely book again with her in the future.”
“Chris did a wonderful job watching my three girls. He did a house watch for me. The house was clean and nothing was out of place. I will use his services in the future and I recommend him to watch your pups.”
About: I have always had a pet in the home, from fish to dogs! Pets are an amazing part of our families and deserve the special care and attention that our own human children have from us as parents. That’s why every four-legged visitor in my home receives the 5-star resort experience. Let me know what I can do for you and your furry friends today! I usually work from 9-5 on most weekdays approximately 5 minutes from home. That gives me the flexibility to check in on your pet throughout the day. For boarding, expect your pet to be snuggled, given food & treats (at your discretion), and receive quality walks. Drop-in visits are my preference, as well as walks. Nonetheless, please let me know what I can do to provide you with the best service possible. Beyond the normal pets, I love to ensure your pets receive the special care they need. From meds to treats, they will get the concierge experience.
“She is punctual and responsive to all messages. Tiffany is very personal, professional and patient with our dogs. She allowed my older dog to relax and chill out while at the same time, she played with my very energetic and playful puppy.”
“Duke and Lucy had a great night with Tiffany. She arrived exactly when she said she would, kept us posted as to the evening's progress, and was very responsible and responsive. Will definitely using again when we go out of town.”
“Erica was fantastic. She took care of our pups & cat when we went to our son's wedding. The pups were happy and well cared for, and Erica kept us posted. No stress - she was great!”
“Elizabeth was the perfect house sitter and companion for our dog, Pringles! Her communication and service were superb. We will definitely invite her back!”
“Jungeui took great care of my pets and home while I was away. She sent daily updates and made me feel very comfortable having her stay in my home. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will use her services again.”
About: I have extensive experience with a variety of dog breeds, young and mature. I am thrilled to care for the smallest and the largest animals. I have flexible hours and am willing to meet your and your pet's needs. I am also available to support your short or pop-up requests. In your home, I will provide attentive care to ensure your pet or pets are happy, healthy, and secure. I will send videos, and I am available if you want to FaceTime with your pet.
“Michelle was very attentive to Bailey's needs, helping to get her to eat as she's a bit finicky, giving copious treats which is the only way for her to get Bailey to eat enough. Michelle picked up mail, sent me updates and videos. All around, fantastic service and already booked for another session, since Bailey just follows her around wagging her tail. Highly recommended!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Fredericksburg
Lucas was amazing with all our furbabies! We felt secure knowing he was looking after them and keeping a close eye on the house. He was very efficient, professional, and kind. He sent us daily updates and pictures to let us know how they were doing and what activities were done for the day. Lucas put our minds at ease and we couldnt be happier with his service and care for our beloved pets and home!
Jordan was wonderful! I needed a last minute house sitter and Jordan stepped up to the plate. He was very thorough and kept in touch with me. One of my cats needed eye drops three times a day and Jordan was a pro. He also handled a power outage and fridge leak very well. My cats absolutely loved him, and you can tell he genuinely cared about their welfare.
I highly recommend Helen to anyone looking for a reliable pet sitter. She has excellent communication skills, responds quickly, and keeps you updated on your fur babies throughout her visits. We have four cats, including two kittens, and Helen did an outstanding job caring for all of them. She even administered medication without hesitation, which gave us great peace of mind. Helen is trustworthy, kind, and genuinely compassionate with animals. I wouldn't hesitate to use her services again and will absolutely be booking with her in the future!
Lela was incredible! We had a tough situation where a sitter had an emergency and Lela was able to quickly step in and take over while we were already on vacation. She was so patient with our quirky rescue pups and was so communicative with us. They quickly acclimated to her and she was just a joy to have caring for them!
We can’t say enough wonderful things about Jessica! There’s never a doubt in our minds that our Nelly is well taken care of when she’s with Jessica. She sends multiple updates throughout the day and captures the best photos. It’s clear she is thoughtful, attentive, and loves our pup like her own. Thank you Jessica!
Mary was awesome from day one. Very responsive. Showed up on time to meet and greet. Even better was her stay. She was great! Bear slept with her and he never does that so he must of felt super comfortable. She sent me lots of pictures and updates. She was on time. Was there the majority of the day with the dogs. Took them out. Loved on them. It was a great experience for the pups at home and some much peace of mind for me states away! I would book her again. Bonus, she was very respectful of the house as well!
I had a wonderful experience Heidi. She's reliable, kind, and clearly love what they do. Communication was excellent from start to finish—I received regular updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. My dog was happy, well cared for, and comfortable the entire time. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving care. I will definitely be booking again!
Cheyenne watched our dog Luna in our home while we were away, and she took excellent care of Luna. She sent tons of pictures and extremely detailed updates of Luna’s days. She sent the updates as frequently as we had agreed upon, and she made sure to send them at predictable times each day. She went above and beyond in the care she provided for Luna, including taking her for extra walks. She made sure to enforce the rules we have for our dog and she left our home spotless. We can’t recommend Cheyenne enough, and will absolutely be booking her again the next time we need pet care. She is hands down the best dog sitter we’ve had.

FAQs for House Sitting - Fredericksburg
Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for House Sitting in Fredericksburg on Rover is $44.4 per night (as of August 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 August 2026, there are 1,282 sitters on Rover offering House Sitting across Fredericksburg. 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 Fredericksburg 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 Fredericksburg 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 Fredericksburg 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.
