“Our puppy Cavapoo Tia stayed at Andy for 5 nights during thanksgiving break. Andy was great sharing daily pictures. The stay was smooth and we would use Andy again for future needs.”
“Our dog, James, was in great hands with Evan! Very kind and communicative from first message through the visit. James had a great time and came home happy! Looking forward to booking again.”
“Alex and Daniel were wonderful to work with! They kindly gave us updates on our dog while she was with them and it really seemed like she warmed up to them quickly. We are so greatful to have met them and we look forward to working with them in the future.”
“Chad and his wife were wonderful carers for my dog! She experienced some GI issues while staying with them and they made appropriate modifications to her diet and offered helpful tips.”
“I couldn’t be happier with my experience with Edward and Natalia. We had a meet and greet a week prior where they asked a lot of questions and observed Ralphie with their sweet pup, Liz Lemon. I always worry leaving Ralphie with a new Rover. He has been described as “extra” and needs a lot of attention/human presence. Within an hour of dropping him off, I got a note that he is settling in fine with a picture of him cozied up with the family and this eased my mind immensely. They were very responsive when I reached out and had everything ready to go when I picked him up. The biggest testament, however, is Ralphie’s behavior on the drive home. If let’s me know if he didn’t like his stay somewhere, but leaving Natalia and Edward he was calm and well behaved. They deserve this 5-star review and j would recommend them to my friends and family without hesitation.”
“This is the second stay for my little dog. Feels so great to have a dependable sitter for my pup. Jeneffer is very responsive and I would definitely recommend.”
“We had an amazing experience with our pet sitter! She took such great care of Tini and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. We especially appreciated the regular updates and adorable pictures she sent—it really helped us stay connected. Tini looked happy, relaxed, and well cared for the entire time. We would absolutely book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!”
“Thanks so much for hosting Remy during the eclipse. He had a great time and we could tell he was well cared for. And the scheduling flexibility gave us the ability to do the trip!”
“Johanna is absolutely wonderful! Our sweet Millie has some extra needs and Johanna was so understanding and went above and beyond to make Millie comfortable in her home. We are so grateful to have found a reliable, kind, and understanding sitter!”
“Erica did a great job with our energetic bernadoodle Frances. She got Frances out to play a lot at the dog park and she sent us pics and videos every day. Thanks Erica!”
“With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!”
“Sonia and her family were a perfect match for my dog who likes to lounge around. Sonia was flexible with time and my dog seemed very comfortable in her home and around her.”
“Kamille was absolutely wonderful for my dog Bella. We did a virtual meet and greet & I immediately felt comfortable with having her care for Bella. Though it was a weekend stay, I believe Bella had a great time. Kamille was consistent in sending updates, videos, and was so thorough and responsive. She even gave me a goodie bag with a pic of Bella at the park, that I thought was a nice touch. I’ve been looking for a go-to dog sitter close to me, and I think I just found her!”
“Diana and her family took wonderful care of our Gus and provided lots of regular updates during his stay. They treated him like their own and he was very relaxed and happy when we came home.”
About: I’ve had dogs ever since I was little—even now my family has two (a golden retriever and a Shiba Inu)! My friends and family have trusted me to dog sit/house sit and walk their dogs for years, and I even spent one summer working in a veterinary clinic. I love all kinds of dogs and have experience with dogs of all ages, from puppies to seniors. I work full time Monday-Friday but am free to make visits during the week anytime after 4pm. My weekends are more flexible where I’ll be able to make 2-3 visits a day. I have years of experience dog sitting/dog walking and will do everything I can to keep your dog safe and happy! I can bring treats with me (if allowed) and am happy to do quick visits or take some time with your dog if needed.
“We really appreciate how kind and loving Lina is with our Roxie. Roxie can be hesitant and shy, but is comfortable with Lina. Roxie has visited with Lina multiple times over the past year and is well taken care of. She gets lots of love and attention!”
About: I’ve owned and cared for animals my entire life. I previously worked for a dog walking service in Bethesda. Let me enrich your dogs day with walks, pets, and treats! I care for animals as a full time job. Your pup’s happiness is my main concern. I’m available every weekend and all major (and minor!) holidays. I have a fenced in yard and two well-socialized pups who are just dying to run around with your fur baby! I provide walks every two hours. Conveniently located near BCC.
“Brianne took wonderful care of our minipoodle, Percy. She was very easy to reach and flexible when the snow storm through off our schedule, which was helpful. We will definitely reach out again!”
“What a great experience having Diana watch Stevie.From the minute we met at a meet & greet in her home, I knew Stevie would be in caring, trustworthy hands. My dog is very anxious and is usually scared of new people but she warmed up to Diana as soon as she met her. You can tell that Diana loves dogs (her own pup is adorable) and treated Stevie like she was her own. Diana wanted to know all about my dog’s schedule, likes and dislikes and personality. She was responsive, communicative, and sent daily updates and pictures so I knew my dog was comfortable and having a wonderful time. You could tell how much love Stevie was getting and I would absolutely book Diana again. I was able to have a relaxing trip knowing Stevie was happy and relaxed.”

Bethesda dog parents share their Rover experiences
Adam and Megan took great care of our dog! They were so communicative and sent lots of pictures, videos, and updates. Our flight was delayed and they were so flexible and patient! Our dog gets very sad when we leave and he looked incredibly happy the whole weekend with Megan and Adam!
Robin took great care of Charley. He usually takes a few minutes to warm up to strangers, but with Robin and her son Zach he was immediately comfortable and his friendly self, for which I was grateful. Robin was communicative throughout Charley’s stay, sharing photos and videos periodically. I’d leave Charley with Robin again without hesitation.
Michele was so loving and wonderful with our dog a five-year-old sheep doodle. He is very attached and I could tell she made him feel very comfortable and safe. We got pictures and felt good the whole time while he was away. We will definitely use Michele again!
Lee Ann and her family were great. They treated Simi like she was part of the family and she had so much fun with them! I was afraid Simi wouldn’t want to come home with me! We did a meet and greet before our stay to allay my concerns about leaving our pup with a stranger.Lee Ann followed all of my instructions and provided daily updates with photos. Lee Ann and her family will always be our Rover of choice
Robin was great! We had a good meet and greet to prepare Lenny for his stay. Robin communicated proactively and sent us lots of great pictures of his stay. She has a wonderful home for dogs, and Lenny couldn’t get enough of her beautiful backyard! We would love for Lenny to stay with Robin again.
With a senior dog, we do get nervous about leaving mango new places. I would say within five minutes of the meet and greet it was clear that Shanilka and her husband would be taking great care of him. They asked all the right questions and during our stay sent regular updates to make sure we knew he was in good hands. Would definitely use again!
