“Another wonderful stay with Sarah! She was welcoming of our pup Suly, and I could tell he arrived home very content after a few days with you. Thank you so much, we'll be booking again with you :)”
“Shuli took excellent care of my puppy Piper! Piper has tons of puppy energy and Shuli gave her lots of extra attention. She even took her upstairs for naps and carried her down the stairs since Piper gets scared. Piper was so excited to see Shuli when we arrived so I know she loves her stays. My schedule changed last minute and I had to pick Piper up earlier and Shuli was very accommodating and worked with me. I look forward to scheduling Pipers next stay. Thanks, Shuli!”
“Mallory and Max were so wonderful with our pup, Nora! They took care of her for 2 and half weeks while we were out of town. Nora got along so well with their dog, Argos, and she came back so happy!”
“Our dog always has such a wonderful experience with Juliet! Our Cavapoo stayed overnight and it was clear from the moment we picked him up that he had been incredibly well cared for—he was so happy and relaxed. Juliet is terrific, attentive, and communicated with us throughout the entire stay, and we especially appreciated the updates and photos. We would absolutely trust her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and thoughtful dog sitter!”
“My dog Heidi had a wonderful time boarding with Supon. He treated her like a very important member of his family, and even though she is a shy dog, she fit right in with the pack. Supon sent adorable pictures that brought a smile to my face throughout my trip. I look forward to boarding Heidi with Supon again!”
“Rex can get anxiety especially with separation and being in new surroundings. Max was able to work through it well with him. He kept us informed the entire time which we really appreciated. I would recommend Max to anyone!”
“Lauren was a great sitter for my needy rescue dog, Rocky. I always worry when I have to leave him with someone, but Lauren alleviated my worries from the start. She sent me daily photos of Rocky enjoying his time, I started to worry he wouldn't want to come home with me! I highly recommend Lauren, and am hopeful she will be available next time I have to go away.”
“I am so happy to have found Madelyn. Hailey is not only safe, but loved. If I need to travel, my first stop is to check with Madelyn’s schedule before I make my other reservations. This is wonderful!”
“Maria is wonderful with my dog Teddy. And he is always so excited to see her when we drop him off. It’s a peace of mind knowing he will be well taken care of, playing with other dogs and getting plenty of attention and exercise with her”
“This was my first time leaving my senior dog overnight with someone I didn’t personally know and I was very nervous about how she would react. It took her a moment but Mike and Elise made her feel right at home and she settled in for her 4 night stay just fine. Mike was great about asking questions to get to know her and I felt confident that she was in good hands.”
About: As a child, I grew up in a household with multiple dogs around at all times. I have cared for and trained dogs of all sizes. My fiance and I would love to be around more dogs as we aren’t able to have one of our own yet! We only have experience with dogs at this time but we welcome cats as well! My boyfriend and I work from home during the week and are generally available to care on Friday and the weekend! We don’t have children so our schedules are very flexible. We are very attentive, affectionate, and responsive to the needs of our pets. We make sure to go on frequent walks and adventures around the park to remain an active and fun place for pets!
“Wonderfully loving and caring people. Exceptionally communicative. Appreciate the pictures and regular updates we receive when ever our dogs stay with Sasha and team. Our dog always seems to come home happy (and exhausted!) from all the play time and social interaction.”
“From communication to coordination and the overall positive energy that Chad and his wife had, we have been very happy and satisfied. I’d highly recommend him. Thanks for looking after our little one.”
“We always love booking with Alex and Daniel! They provide us with frequent updates and are incredibly responsive. Our dog seems like she is right at home at their place.”
“We couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter! Thomasena is absolutely amazing, and her daughter Robin is just as wonderful. They took such loving care of our fur baby while we were away, and it truly felt like he was part of their family. When we picked him up, he was so relaxed and happy—it was clear he had been in great hands. It gave us such peace of mind knowing he was being cared for with so much affection. Definitely will book Thomasena every time we go away. Highly, highly recommend!”
“Haydenn was a lifesaver after I had another Rover fall through super last minute. He made pick up and drop off easy and took great care of my dog! We'll definitely be back again.”

I had a great experience with Andy's overnight dog-sitting service. He was very communicative throughout the process and prompt with both pick-up and drop-off, which made everything incredibly easy. He also sent pictures during the stay, which I really appreciated, and my dog seemed like he had a good time.
Morgan was an amazing dog sitter for my whoodle, Cash! She asked so many great questions before watching him, and gave plenty of updates throughout the stay. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone in the area who has a dog. She went above and beyond and was super kind. Thank you!
Marcel came back to me well loved and cared for by Shanilka and her family! Marcel was very relaxed at returning home. Thank you for the pictures that you sent. Great thanks for your flexibility on our drop off and pick up time when our plane was late! I especially loved that Marcel slept with your mom and ignored the bed. He had a wonderful team to care for him. I will definitely use your services again. Thanks again❤️🙏🤗
Lee Ann communicated often with this nervous pup's mommy, making the separation anxiety minimal. Stella enjoyed her stay, the play, the back yard, and has been sleeping all day since we brought her home. Thanks, Lee Ann, Charlotte, Henry and Mr. Lee Ann for making our pup feel at home!
Karla is outstanding — she watched my small Dachshund for almost a week and paid special attention to his diet, exercise and stimulation wonderfully. Plenty of outdoor activities, lots of indoor care, and excellent updates throughout the stay. I would recommend Karla fully!
Ayah was wonderful with Nugget. She was very clear about directions leading up to the weekend and was so nice in her communications. She was great at sending me updates at night as requested. Nugget looked so happy when I picked her up and it was very clear she was so well cared for while I was gone. Ayah was all around fantastic!
Dave took great care of Penny while we were away for 10 days. Dave made the whole process very easy and was great to work with. We got daily updates with photos, and peace of mind knowing Penny was in good hands and sticking to her routine. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Dave followed the care instructions well. Reliable, communicative, and great with dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future trips and highly recommend Dave to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!
Meri is absolutely wonderful! She responds very quickly, is reliable, and loves dogs. My dog is very shy with most people, but she gets so excited every time she sees Meri, which says everything. It's such a relief knowing my dog is happy, comfortable, and so well cared for.

Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Bethesda sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Bethesda landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Bethesda home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Bethesda.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Bethesda sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
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 .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in MD ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
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 dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog 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.
