About: I have my own dog & she is the love of my life! Ever since adopting her, I found a passion and deep love for animals! I used to volunteer with CDCK located in DC. Animals have become my passion and I love all animals like they’re my own ❤️ I live with my partner who is more than happy to help take care of your fur baby as well! I work remote so I will have tons of time to care for your pet. My apartment also has a dog park so it has easy and fast access outside. I have my own dog that I’ve had nearly 6 years now. I will treat your dogs like they are my own! I have done extensive research on caring for dogs and have implemented various different things with my dog to improve her quality of life best I can. Whether that’s feeding your dog healthy organic treats or finding different ways to mentally stimulate them! Not only will I take them on walks but I’ll be glad to play some friendly tug of war with them :)
About: As a fellow dog and cat owner, I love giving clients peace of mind when traveling, working late, shuffling schedules and more. ** Boarding requests: meet & greets required prior to overnight stays to ensure your dog is comfortable with my dog & cat, who are both docile, well-adjusted to other dogs. Thank you! Schedule: I’m a teacher who will be home for summer break so as long as my calendar is open on Rover, I am available! Full availability: June 19-August 9. Limited availability after August 9. Experience: I have experience with small to large dogs, special diets, giving medication, post-surgery care, cats, and more. Full availability until mid-August, then limited to weekends and evenings as needed. Once the school year begins I’m available in the mornings between 7-8 for drop-ins, and after 5pm for drop ins or walks during the week. I live in apartment adjacent to the east Bethesda neighborhood so we walk in the suburbs 2-3 times a day. Pets are fine on all pet beds, couches and human beds alike.
About: I bring a lifetime of diverse animal experience to every pet I care for. I grew up with a rescue dog—and even a pet duck—which taught me early how to adapt to different personalities and needs. Today I share my home with Halo, my black rescue cat, and Grover, my rescue Yorkie, both of whom remind me daily how important patience and trust are. I also cared for Daisy, my special‑needs yellow lab, and understand the gentle routines senior pets require. And with Teddie, my Coton de Tulear from a prestigious lineage, I’m familiar with breed‑specific care and structured environments. Whether your pet is a rescue, a senior, a purebred, or a quirky little character, I meet them exactly where they are and make sure they feel safe, understood, and loved. As a writer who works from home, I have a naturally flexible schedule that allows me to give pets consistent attention throughout the day. My routine is calm, predictable, and easy to adjust around your pet’s needs—whether that means midday walks, morning check‑ins, or evening visits. Because I’m home most of the time, I’m able to provide steady, reliable care and keep your pet’s day running smoothly and stress‑free. I provide pet care exclusively through walks and drop‑in visits, which means your pet stays in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. During each visit, I follow your routines closely—feeding, fresh water, medication, enrichment, and any specific instructions you share. I keep a calm, reassuring presence, make sure doors are locked, and always double‑check your pet’s safety before leaving. My goal is to maintain your pet’s normal rhythm while giving them attentive, reliable care and keeping your home secure.
“Annah is honestly hands down the best cat sitter ever. She knew all of Bee’s favorite toys and gave him the attention he craved. She would be my first choice in the future to look after my precious Bee!”
About: Grew up on a farm with a variety of animals, always had a pet in my life. Understand the nonverbal queues of cats and dogs. I am currently in nursing school through the army therefore I am available most weekends and holidays, possibly weekdays after 6 pm, for special occasions. I can follow the exact routine that you set, less stress for you and less stress on them, respecting their space and I prioritize safety.
“This was our second time booking Teffni, and once again, she was absolutely fantastic! We have three cats and Teffni is so patient and attentive with each of their personalities. She also carefully managed their different food routines. We loved getting regular updates and photos during each visit. We came home to three content, well-cared-for cats. We’ll definitely continue booking with Teffni! Highly recommend!”
“Juna continues to take fantastic care of my hound mix! My dog is always happy to see Juna, and I can tell from her consistent communication and her lovely walking/drop-in photos that my dog continues to enjoy Juna's care and company throughout each booking. Juna has proven to be capable and resourceful throughout all of her visits with my dog, and I'm confident she would be the same with yours, too!”
About: Hello! I'm Ellie and am available for occasional walking & drop-in visits. I love dogs and have been doing river for the last 5 years! I can also board and do doggy daycare (I do own a medium sized 10 year old Thurman as well but he loves new buddies!). I have 2 dog loving kids so for all boarding clients - dogs need to be kid-friendly. I love dogs - I will take them on long walks and plenty of playtime/pets! I've always loved dogs and used to volunteer with dogs at animal shelters and I used to work for a pet sitting company where I took care of all types of dogs and cats on the regular! Right now I welcome all sizes and I used to own large Goldens growing up :) Let me know if you have any questions! I am fully available right now for morning, afternoon and evening visits/walks. Weekly Monday through Friday (some weekends too). I love dogs and look forward to meeting furry friends!! I have an unfenced backyard but will keep any dog on a leash anytime we go outside. I will take them on walks around my neighborhood.
“Clara was extremely communicative and kind from start to finish. She always made sure both my cat and I were anxiety free throughout my trip. I would gladly book with Clara again!”
“Kaya took great care of my cat. Normally he's very needy when I come home from a trip but this time he seemed happier and more relaxed. I can only assume it was due to Kaya's kind care.”
“Caroline did an awesome job, and was so prompt and professional. Caroline was very accommodating with our older dog, and we loved the photos and daily updates. We would highly recommend working with Caroline!”
“Luisa is a lovely person and a compassionate friend to animals! She visited our kitties three times while we were away. Before we left, she made the effort to visit me and the cats to meet them and to review their feeding schedule. When she visited, she shared that she adores animals and that caring for animals is her passion. During her visit, she played with the cats and they were immediately comfortable with her. Each visit, she sent pictures of her playing with the cats and wrote a review of the visit. Luisa is the most wonderful and kind friend to animals. I am so grateful for her kindness to the kitties while I was away. She truly went above and beyond during the visit; I look forward to working together in the future. Thanks again, Luisa!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
Caden was great and super flexible while pet sitting my three pets on short notice!! My dog is very shy/reactive and he was very accommodating and understanding of what she needed to be introduced. Caden took thorough and kind care of my two cats and one dog, was timely, and kept my apartment in excellent shape. I’ve never seen such a neat litter box!! I’m excited to hire him again.
Leila was fantastic and took great care of my two cats while I was out of town. She was prompt, professional, and very friendly with the cats. She provided regular updates and did an excellent job with their medications. I appreciated knowing they were in such good hands while I was gone.
Abigail was amazing! I have four cats and needed 1 drop in visit each day for food/water/litter box. I really appreciated the recaps each day with pictures. It was a huge relief knowing my fur babies were in good hands while we were away. We will absolutely be using her for future bookings.
Alexander did an amazing job checking in on our cat during a recent trip. Our cat is shy and can have accidents from anxiety when we’re away and Alexander handled it all with patience and respect. He got our girl to warm up to him with play and she was a very happy cat when we returned. I would definitely recommend his services.
Claire immediately made me feel at ease leaving my anxious dog and temperamental cat! They responded so well to her, and her patience and kindness were palpable. She was so communicative and responsive to my pets’ needs, I hope I get the pleasure of booking her again!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Cat Sitting in Bethesda on Rover is $22.2 per visit (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.

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.

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.
