“Aashna and Sidanth took excellent care of our dog. Communication was fantastic – they sent updates and photos twice a day. We felt very comfortable leaving him with them and would definitely rebook.”
“Andy was so accommodating and kind when we had a surprise emergency. We felt happy and at peace knowing Spencer was in good hands. It seems like Spencer got a lot of love and care at Andy’s. Highly recommend!!”
“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❤️🙏🤗”
“Diana did an incredible job taking care of Roxie! I was away on a long trip and I felt at ease knowing Roxie was in great hands. I received daily pictures and videos and Roxie looked so happy and comfortable. I highly recommend Diana and plan on using her again in the future!”
“Erica Joy was tremendous! My dog got sick from some of his medication during his stay with her, and she made sure to take special care of him. She made him chicken & rice to soothe his stomach and made sure he was well taken care of. Would book with her again!”
“Evan and Megan were great sitters! They communicated well the entire time we were gone and sent us pics to keep us up to date on how our puppy was doing. Highly recommended.”
“Very great communication and sent a lot of pictures while I was away! Made my girls feel at home and the family was incredibly nice/hospitable. Did not worry at all leaving my girls in their care!”
“Johanna was such a wonderful sitter for our dog Rylo. He can be a little nervous in new environments, but we felt like we were in expert hands with Johanna. She shared regular updates and photos and was so great to work with. Rylo already can’t wait to play with her again soon!”
“Michael did a great job with my little rescue Yorkie, Gracie. He sent pictures and updates on how she was doing and was very communicative throughout the process. Gracie is a velcro dog who is very shy and anxious around new people and dogs. She seemed to acclimate to Michael and his daughter quickly which I could tell in the pictures. She had been very content and happy once since I picked her up. Will definitely be boarding Gracie with him again in the future.”
“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.”
“Chad and Regina are the best dog sitters I've ever had! They always take amazing care of my pup, and I strongly recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy, loving pet sitters.”
“Adam and Megan are amazing! This was Ozzy’s second stay and he absolutely adores them! He was so excited to see them and barely said good-bye (he is typically a very attached pup)! They took great care of him and sent lots of pics! We can’t wait for his next stay and 100% recommend them! Thank you!!”
“Jiao kept in close communication about our dog. She sent several pictures and videos per day. My dog acted happy and playful in her house. She came recommended by a friend and I would definitely book with her again.”
“Dennis loved his time with the family and Larry the dog was the most gracious host! We got daily update photos and will definitely look to book again in the future. BIG FANS!”
“Isai was great to work with for my dog. Just a short stay this time but he was easy to coordinate drop off and having a friend pick Watson up at the end. I felt that Watson was in good hands.”
“Lee Ann was a great sitter! I dropped off my pet Sia for a long stay and she was very communicative throughout! She asked all the right questions before the sitting and was very professional and sweet! She was also so considerate and flexible with my flight delays. Overall I know Sia had a great time and I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing Sia was in good hands. Exciting to reach out for our next vacation!”
“Armanush was wonderful. She was very responsive and provided plenty of updates and pictures of the dogs. My flight was delayed and she was accommodating of a later pickup time which was much appreciated. Thank you!”
“Maryjo and Jon took great care of Luna. They were very responsive and sent lots of pictures, will definitely have Luna stay with them for another vacation soon!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
Kyle was an amazing and attentive sitter for our old girl Phoenix. We had a vet appointment the day before and she had received more shots than we anticipated and it did not sit well with her. Kyle was so kind and not weirded out by the sudden bowl issues our pup had under his care and kept us updated all the time. We so appreciate that Kyle was so kind about this and made our wonderful pup comfortable. Definitely consider Kyle if you want an amazing time for your four legged loves!
Carly was great and treated my 10yo minpin like a princess. She had fantastic communications, very accommodating with dog specific instructions (we all have our odd dog routines that make them feel at home) and will be booking again 100% on our next trip. Thank you Carly!
Our dog was very happy. Anastasiia was very communicative and took great care of our dog. She is clearly a dog person and very professional. This was a repeat booking and we will book her again when we can. We were out of town and felt very happy with our dog in her hands. She also sent great pictures of our dog. Excellent job all around.
Lee Ann and her family did an amazing job caring for Murphy while we were out of town for a wedding. She was very communicative and kept us informed about how Murphy was doing. Her children and husband were very sweet and friendly, and Murphy seemed at ease. I would absolutely board him with them again and really appreciate the care she took with our dog, especially because he is still a puppy and still has some behaviors that can be difficult (marking in new environments!). Thanks Lee Ann!
Karen and her husband were amazing! I got updates and videos every single day and truly felt that my dog was being loved and cared for while I was away. Not only that but my dog had several medications to manage and Karen went out of her way to make sure Penny was taken care of. Will definitely be booking again thanks so much Karen!!
Daniela and Sergio were amazing with Jameson! They asked all the right questions and cared for him lovingly. He is an easy dog, but does have some senior needs. They went above and beyond to care for him. Daniela sent daily updates, which we really looked forward to and enjoyed. I could tell James enjoyed his time as well. Everything from the meet and greet to the stay was amazing. We would trust them with our guy at any time, no hesitation!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Bethesda on Rover is $63.57 per night (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding 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 Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of September 2026, there are 7,867 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Bethesda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
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.
