About: I have experience caring for large dogs and have had three rescue Labrador retrievers as an adult. I have also had experience as a dog foster working with local shelters. As a recent retiree, I am spending my time between volunteering with my daughter's school and the local humane society, leaving plenty of time to spend with your fur babies. I have a fenced yard and a friendly 7 year-old black Labrador. We have two crates if any of the pups need to be crated. If in your home, I will follow instructions provided to insure that your pup receives the proper care.
“Jessica is truly the best! She takes excellent care of our cats while we’re away. She always communicates with us and provides detailed report cards with photos after each drop-in. We couldn’t ask for better care.”
“Cheyenne was wonderful with our three senior cats! Cheyenne was attentive, thorough, and clearly took excellent care of them while we were away. We felt at ease knowing our cats were in such good hands, and we’ll definitely be reaching out to Cheyenne for future trips. Highly recommend!”
“Jungeui is so sweet, caring, responsible and dependable. My chihuahua needs medication and she has been able to give it to him no problem. My 11yo chihuahua recommends her! :)”
“Anne is the best!!! I am so happy I found her to take care of my babies while I was gone. She went above and beyond and blew my expectations out of the water! I will book her again and again!”
About: Whether you have a chaotic 4-month-old golden retriever or a 14-year-old tabby who just wants to nap in a sunbeam, I adapt my energy to meet them exactly where they are. I know how nerve-wracking it is to leave your pets. You’ll receive detailed updates and high-quality photos after every visit so you can see exactly how much fun they’re having. Since I am currently building my dedicated client base, your pet will never be "just another stop" on a long list. They get my undivided attention, energy, and affection. I currently work from home part-time so I’ll have plenty of time to care for your pets. I’m available weekdays as well as weekends. We have a fenced area in our yard, and a safe neighborhood for walks. Additionally, we have a dog and two cats to keep your pet company.

About: I’ve loved animals my entire life and have always had them in my life! From taking care of my sister from puppyhood to her golden years to raising doggy fur kiddo’s of my very own, I take pride and honor in respecting each and every dog I meet! I walk my own pug and pomsky 4 times a day, as well as take them to our backyard dog park that’s incredible for play! Both of my own pups are fully vaccinated, well socialized, and are very excited to meet new friends! I am a college student full time with online classes but have a ton of time to pour into animal care and outside time! I cannot wait to see where this adventure goes! I’m a full time college student but my girls are already a big part of my schedule! This semester I have all online courses so am very flexible Aside from outright walking the neighborhood, I have a fully fenced dog park directly behind my house that has a one group policy! Meaning if I’m at the park there is a wait for others vice versa! Our neighborhood is a lovely daily walk as well with many doggy bag stations!
About: Always had a pet growing up! My last dog Cody lived to be 18 years young! I know what it’s like to tend with aging furbabies! &I’m not scared to get my hands dirty. 🐱🐶🐦⬛🐢🐍🦎🐠🐇🦙🐁🐿️ I work 4-5 hours daily and work directly across the street from home. Your pets needs is my #1 priority! I maintain a clean, safe pet friendly home. I do have a fenced backward if needed, but I enjoy going on walks in the neighborhood or play in the yard. I can add a bath to the visit or I can brush them. I try my best to keep everyone happy! 😊 Can’t wait me meet all my new furbaby friends!
About: My family has had dogs and cats since before I was born. I am comfortable with both large and small dogs. I am also comfortable with many animals at once as my family has 3 dogs and 3 cats! I am a full time student and a member of the women’s rugby team. However, I have many smaller breaks during the day when I am happy to pop by and say hi! I will always keep an eye on your pet whenever I let them outside if you have a fenced in yard. Safety is always important to me so I will always give your pet priority. I will send you pictures any time I see them that way you get an update!
“Stephanie has been a reliable and amazing dog sitter for my two pups. She is very responsive when I reach out and so understanding and patient with my anxious and shy dog. 10/10 would recommend ❤️”
About: I have experience caring for cats and kittens at an animal hospital, where I was responsible for cleaning litter boxes, feeding, providing fresh water, and offering comfort and companionship. I’m also comfortable administering medications if needed. In addition, I’ve cared for my own cats over the years, and I truly adore them. I’m patient, attentive, and passionate about making sure every cat feels safe and loved I’m available every weekend as well as mondays and tuesdays! I’m also happy to work upon request—just let me know in advance so I can plan accordingly. I have the time and heart to care for and love on your furry friend! This is what I LOVE to do! I have one cat in my home that gets along with other cats and dogs! Pets are family and they deserve to be treated as such!

Lucas is extraordinary. His check-in notes on our cat were thorough and he took excellent care of her while we were gone. He’s also a really nice guy: thoughtful, pleasant, and helpful. He also came highly recommended, and he did not disappoint. Thank you so much, Lucas!
Justin was an absolute lifesaver! My family and I had a last minute trip pop up on us days before and Justin was right there ready to care for our pups. We did a meet and greet the same day we requested his services where my pups were able to get familiar with him. My super timid dog was able to put his guard down and get comfortable with him. My other dog adapted to him immediately. Justin is very attentive and his response time is speedy. We greatly appreciate him for the love and care he showed our dogs and will definitely be booking with him again in the future. Thank you Justin!!! 🙏
Katherine was absolutely wonderful with our cats! She was dependable, caring, and treated our pets as if they were her own. It gave us such peace of mind knowing they were in such loving and capable hands while we were away. Katherine kept us updated, was attentive to their needs, and made sure they received plenty of love and attention. We couldn’t have asked for a better cat sitter and would highly recommend Katherine to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to look after their pets!
This person is a straight up warrior. She fought off mosquitoes. And rabid raccoons with no fear. She ran towards the danger while her charges (dogs) ran for the safety of the house. She was highly reliable, and very responsive to every visit. If you don’t just want a dog sitter but a champion of the fur kingdom this person is the one you hire.
Erin is so great. I had to arrange for drop in visits for my cat last minute. Erin is reliable. She played with my cat, sent me tons of pics, and of course, made sure she had food/water. It provides such peace of mind to have Erin looking after your pet. I highly recommend her.
Raine was honestly the best cat sitter I’ve had on this app! I’ve had a few great cat sitters over the years (about 5-6 different sitters total), but she truly went above and beyond anything I’ve experienced. I lucked out that she was available on short notice for a holiday weekend. Over the four days I was traveling, she visited twice daily and sent me detailed and well organized updates about how my two kitties were doing and what she did each visit. She sent photos for each visit and even asked if she could bring some of her own kitty’s favorite lollipops to share as a treat. When one of my cats wouldn’t take his meds, she followed up about how to handle and she also located a few items I had forgot to set out for her. I was able to thoroughly enjoy my trip without worrying about my kitties being lonely because I knew they were in great hands, especially because they’d been fighting lately and she accommodated my unique setup to keep them separated. I highly recommend her caring for your fur babies and look forward to booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Sitting in Fredericksburg is $20 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $15 and $31 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 2,109 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Fredericksburg. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
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 .
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 , 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 Fredericksburg. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 93% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
