“Kaya did a great job housesitting with my cat who also required some medical care. She provided frequent updates and made sure my kitty was safe and sound while I was away.”
“Ana did a great job watching my cats over the weekend. She was very responsive, gave me updates on how they were doing, and sent lots of cute pics. Would definitely recommend booking with her!”
“Clara did an excellent job caring for my seven year old kitty Bonnie. I came home to a happy and well fed cat. Thanks so much Clara and I will definitely call upon you to care for Bonnie in the future!”
“Nayke took great care of our two cats. He was on time with meals, played with them every day, and kept in great communication. We would definitely rebook with him in the future.”
“Michael was great to our cats- he respected their different personalities and both were very well taken care of! He sent us pictures every step of the way so I was not worried the whole time we were away. I’d definitely hire him again!”
“Marilyn was a wonderful cat sitter. She was very thorough in making sure she knew where everything was and what needed to be done ahead of time. She came at the scheduled times, fed them per my instructions, and pilled the cat that needed medication. She sent plenty of photos of the kitties and gave me a detailed update of how things were going, and spent plenty of time with them. I really appreciate how wonderful she did taking care of my three kitties. I would not hesitate to have her come again.”
“Absolutely wonderful dog walker! They are reliable, caring, and clearly have a genuine love for dogs. What really stands out is their thoughtful communication—they always keep me updated, share helpful details about each walk, and make sure I know how my pup is doing. It gives me so much peace of mind knowing my dog is in such attentive and trustworthy hands. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!”
“Nicole took great care of my cat while I was out of town. She is reliable and trustworthy. Highly recommend and hope to work with her again next time I'm away!”
About: Hi everyone 👋 my name is Jenni and my experience with animals started when I was young. I grew up with dogs all my life and had a Lhasa Apso and Pitbull/Akita mix as my first dogs but now have 2 cats. My boyfriend has his own pet sitting/pet boarding business where I regularly help out. I have 19 years of experience taking care of all kinds of dogs and cats, including, young and senior pets, and bunnies/rabbits. I have experience in administering oral, ear, and eye medication. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Looking forward to working with you and building long lasting friendships and partnerships with you and your pet. 🌞 Pet care fits into my schedule very well as I work locally which gives me the option to work remotely or in person. Therefore, I have a flexible schedule to adjust to the times you need help with. The care I provide for the animals that I will be watching while in their house is following the same schedule routine and safety plans the owners have for their own pet. During the meet & greet I love to learn about the owners pets so I can make sure to give the same quality of care that the owners give☺️
“Vitality B. Is fantastic pet sitter. He's responsible, dependable, and our kitties love having him around. He sends us updates and we feel very fortunate to find him through Rover. This is our first time using an app to book a pet sitter. And this is our 3rd time having Vitali here at our home. You will have peace of mind if you hire Vitali. And your pets will love him too!!”
“Victoria agreed to care for my cat after someone canceled on us with less than 24 hour notice. My cat is suspicious of strangers and does not get along with everyone. She felt comfortable with Victoria who did a superb job taking care of her and who gave her treats and spoke to her in Spanish, which she is used to. Victoria is very passionate about caring for animals and I could not recommend her more!”
About: I have always grown up with dogs, from chihuahuas to mastiffs. I have taken care of puppies and senior dogs, and administered all necessary medication for both, including my families current very anxious senior dog. I understand that each dog has a different temperament and different needs, and I'm happy to adjust my care to each one. I'm currently working from home 4/5 days of the week, so I can do some dog walking nearby on my lunch break, or right before/after work. I can also stay home all day with a pet if needed. I am free on weekends and have easy metro access. I'm good with play time, walks, providing diet specific meals, and anything else a pet may need, puppies to seniors. I'm happy to deal with any medications or bath time routines.
“Teffni is a fantastic pet sitter! We have 3 cats, one who is outgoing & two that are shy, Teffni was so great at letting them get to know here at their own pace. She also handled their different food needs and Nibblers medicine. She gave us updates and pictures during each visit so we knew the boys were happy and well taken care of while we were out of town. We came home to 3 very happy cats! Will definitely book Teffni again!”
“Summar is the cat whisperer! She knew just how to manage my shy, sweet cat who can easily get frightened. I never worry about my pet when Summar is there. She’s truly the best!!”
“10/10 would hire Elizabeth again. Elizabeth watched my shy (and occasionally jumpy) cat during a home stay. I got regular photo updates of my cat playing, eating, and living her best life while I was away. I was very impressed Elizabeth got her to interact at all! Elizabeth also took good care of my fish (I got photos of him too). I walked in to a clean, quiet house, which was a great way to come home. Moreover, Elizabeth was extremely accommodating with arrival and departure times when she absolutely didn’t have to be. After her, I’m not sure I’ll want a different house sitter.”
“Cynthia helped us out last minute, was incredibly responsive and took great care of Felix in our absence. I would definitely book her again and recommend her highly. Thank you Cynthia!”
“Drew is a fantastic sitter! We have used him before for drop-ins and he provided such great care that we booked him again for our most recent vacation. Yet again, he provided above and beyond for our cats. I very highly recommend him!”

Vidya is wonderful with our cats, caring and detail-oriented. She has managed to win over the shy one, and the outgoing one has liked her from the start. One cat is diabetic and also eats a special diet, and Vidya has handled these needs with aplomb. Highly recommend!
Kayla so last minute was able to take care of our cat on such short notice. She also had so much going on yet she made the time to care for the little guy. We really appreciate Kayla for being so flexible with our schedule changes and taking good care of our Domino! Really appreciated her always checking in with me and giving me his updates!
Ariana was amazing! She came to meet the kitties first and was great about communicating while I was away. I was worry free while traveling and came home to happy cats! I hope Ariana is available the next time I have to travel. Also, the absolutely adorable photos she got from the check-ins made me so happy <3

The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bethesda on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Cat 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 Cat Sitting. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,936 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bethesda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, 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.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bethesda. On Rover:
- 89% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 95% 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.
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.
