“Exceptional Pet Sitter! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amanda was absolutely wonderful! From the very beginning, she was incredibly sweet, helpful, and highly responsive. Her communication was perfect throughout the entire stay—she kept me constantly updated, asked great questions to ensure Winnie had everything she needed, and went above and beyond by asking if there was anything else she could help with around the house. The photos she sent on a regular basis brought so much peace of mind. It’s clear she truly cares about the animals she watches. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter and I will absolutely be booking with her again. Thank you, Amanda! Highly recommended!”
“Always wonderful with Fenway and me!!! We will be sad and miss her!! She is a wonderful person and anyone who is books her will be blessed!! Thanks Stephanie ❤️”
“Jessica was amazing. She took great care of my diabetic cat while we were gone over the holidays and even made it to our house for an injection when there was a snowstorm. I also really appreciated her considerate notes on how my cats were doing.”

I will make sure your pets get lots of love, care, and playtime, as well as any of their favorite treats! I currently have full availability. If any changes in my schedule were to pop up, I will let you know at the earliest convenience so you can plan accordingly. I will ensure all your pets needs are met by providing potty breaks, playtime, and being fed or any other needs you may need accommodated.

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.

“Katie was very attentive and caring to our two cats while we were away. She made sure they were given attention and love and sent us details on how they were doing as well as adorable photos ❤️”
“Absolutely amazing! So happy to have found Mary, one week before my trip to FL. She gave our two dogs so much love and attention over four days. She will be the first person we reach out to whenever we are looking for someone to walk our dogs in the future. I’d highly recommend her!”
“Cheyenne was super professional caring and looking after our orange cat Cheeto! She visited him everyday we were out of town and gave us updates on what he’d been up to. She even cleaned up an unexpected mess and left our house in better condition. Cheeto seemed to enjoy her visits and I would definitely hire Cheyenne again for all my future pet-sitting needs! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!”
“What can I say? Holli is simply phenomenal! This was our first trip away from the boys and there was some trepidation on our part. We booked Holli for a familiarization visit before our trip. She was outgoing, interactive and all about getting to know Vincent and Jules. We booked 2, hour long visits each day, morning and evening. Holli arrived, took care of the boys, spent time playing with them, ensuring all their needs were met and provided updates and pictures of each visit. Jules is the shyest of the two and it took a couple visits, but he was warming up to her. Thank you Holli! You are superb and we greatly appreciate your taking care of our furry family members. You are our go-to for any and all future Rover needs.”
“Felt absolutely comfortable with Julia caring for my older cat who really warmed up to her very quickly. Julia left me great updates on her visits every day. Will definitely ask her to come back again. Highly recommend!”
“Odalys was AMAZING with my pets! Our pup is older and doesn’t trust a ton of people but was immediately in love with Odalys! She went above and beyond keeping our house clean and took our cat poop trash without asking! We will definitely be using her again!”
“Chris is an exceptional dog walker and caretaker. His kindness and genuine love for animals shine through in everything he does. He goes above and beyond to ensure my dogs feel comfortable and cared for, always paying attention to their individual needs. His dedication and thoughtfulness make him truly one of a kind. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will treat their pets like family!”
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.
About: Hi there! I have taken care of dogs and cats for about 15 years. I have 2 working breed dogs of my own, so I am very adept to a high energy dog! I have a mini poodle as well if that’s more your dogs speed. I work from home so your pet will never be left alone for more than a hour! I provide excellent care to animals of all ages with frequent snack times, potty breaks, and play sessions! I can not wait to meet your furry friend! I work from home full time, but don’t fret. All doggos in this house get lengthy breaks from being inside by going on walks and play sessions throughout the day! I have 3 pups of my own that love to play… or sleep… or just sit outside. Whatever your dog wants to do they’re pretty easy going.
“My cat was very happy to spend time and play with Svetlana during my 3-week vacation. Svetlana visited him daily and managed all of the necessities plus play time with my cat. I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend her services.”

Maria did an excellent job caring for our two dogs while we were away. She was punctual, arriving and leaving exactly as scheduled, and followed all of our instructions perfectly. She also kept us updated with detailed reports, which gave us great peace of mind. It’s clear she is responsible, dependable, and genuinely cares about the pets she watches. We would absolutely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter!
Rachel is exactly what I always wanted in a pet sitter. She likes cats, she's responsive, and she is dependable. After another great 2026 experience with her dropping in on my cats, I'm confident she'll be the first person I contact next time we need someone we can trust with our furry friends. Thanks so much, Rachel!
We have been with Kathryn for almost a year! She is the absolute best sitter you could want. She communicates quickly and gives the most thorough updates on my dog. She provided enrichment and love to my dog Fern. We are so sad to be moving this month and leaving Kathryn, we can only hope to find as good of a sitter the next place we live.
Extenuating circumstances left our dog with diarrhea while we were gone :( Erin not only staying in close contact with us, answering our questions about what she saw and requests for pictures to see if he had other symptoms that meant we should get him to the vet for the rest of our vacation, but she took the time to clean the accidents he did have between the 2 daily visits we booked. She went above and beyond in a really "shitty" situation, and we are SO thankful.
We had a fantastic first experience using Rover thanks to Lucy! As first-time users, we were a little nervous about having someone come into our home while we were out of town, but Lucy made the entire process feel easy and reassuring from the start. She responded to our request almost immediately and scheduled a meet & greet within just a few days, which really helped put us at ease. While we were away, Lucy came by daily to take care of our cat, and she did an excellent job. It was clear our cat was well cared for, and we really appreciated the updates and attention she gave. Knowing that Lucy has cats of her own and also works at an animal hospital gave us an extra level of confidence that our pet was in great hands. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will absolutely be booking with Lucy again in the future. Highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, responsive, and caring pet sitter!
Paige did a great job taking care of the cats. She surprisingly made a connection with them on their first meeting, despite their shyness. She is truly a cat whisperer! Bonus: she got a photo of one of my shyer ones that is my current favorite pic of them. Thank you Paige!

The average cost for Pet Sitting in Fredericksburg on Rover is $19.98 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
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 July 2026, there are 2,241 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 with handling special pet needs in Fredericksburg. On Rover:
- 88% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 94% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 94% 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 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.
