“Aashna and Sidhanth were great! They’re were very responsive and accommodating when I had to adjust the schedule. They sent pictures and updates twice a day. Will definitely be using them again!”
“Shanilka was an absolute lifesaver! This was my first time ever leaving Toby with a sitter, and she made the whole process completely stress-free. Right before I dropped him off, Toby got into a chicken bone (of course), but Shanilka wasn't fazed. She was calm and happy to keep an extra eye on him, which was such a relief. She sent plenty of photos and videos while I was away so I always knew how he was doing. It was so clear Toby got tons of love and had a wonderful time. I’ll definitely be booking with Shanilka again. I can't recommend her enough!”
“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.”
“Andy took excellent care of our attention seeking little Coco. He kept us updated with daily photos on their walks and she has come back to us happy and healthy. Loved the personal care and attention he and his family gave her. Thank you again! Would definitely use his services again!”
“Diana and her family took wonderful care of our Goldendoodle for six days. It was our first time leaving him with a pet sitter, so we were quite nervous. From the moment we met Diana, her warm, friendly and caring personality immediately put us at ease. She kept us updated throughout his stay with lots of photos, videos and messages, which gave us great peace of mind. It was clear that she cared for our dog as if he were her own. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and highly recommend Diana to anyone looking for a trustworthy and loving pet sitter!”
“Erin was amazing with my dog! Super sweet, kept me updated, and took great care of her. My pup was happy and relaxed when I got home. Definitely booking Erin again!”
“Great experience leaving Oliver with their family. The two of them were conscientious and considerate about understanding Oliver's needs and ensuring that I felt comfortable leaving him in their care while I was out of town. I wouldn't hesitate to leave Oliver with them again!”
“Alex and Daniel were absolutely incredible dog sitters. They were communicative, sending frequent photos and updates, and took extremely thoughtful and loving care of my dog, Pip. They really went above and beyond, brushing him, taking him on lots of walks, and clearly provided him with a warm, kind, and comfy home. We are so grateful to them for taking such good care of Pip, and can’t wait to book with them again for our next trip.”
“Erica (“EJ”) was awesome with our doggy, as our first Rover experience we could not be happier; she provided constant updates, photos and videos of our guy so we knew he was doing well and having a good time”
“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!”
“Chad has a warm and easy going nature and he and Regina made Murray very welcome in their home. This was our dog's longest stay away from home and familiar people but he was very happy there - I'm not sure he wanted to leave. Chad kept us up to date with Murray through photos and video clips. I will be very happy to have Chad care for Murray again in the future.”
“Anastasiia was fantastic. She was super communicative, clearly loves dogs, and put me at ease knowing that my pup was in good hands. I'd happily rebook with her next time I need a dog sitter.”
“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!”
“Lee Ann took such great care of our dog while we were away for 2 weeks. Our dog got an upset stomach while we were gone abd Lee Ann gave him his medicine and kept us updated on his care and health. She sent regular updates and our dog was very content and comfortable in her care. We would definitely leave our dog with her again!”
“We are truly thankful to Michael for taking care of our dog while we traveled. She clearly had a great time and we appreciated the regular messages and photos of walks during her stay. Thanks Michael!”
“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!”
“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
Our mini golden doodle stayed with Kyle for 9 nights. He was very good at communicating with us, sharing photos and videos and keeping us updated on how she was doing. He gave her her medication and calmed her during the thunderstorms. Lily seemed to really enjoy playing with the other dogs who were being boarded. We will definitely use Kyle again.
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!
Anastasiia was great with Kody!!! He warmed up to her so quickly, which means a lot because Kody doesn’t love everyone and comes with an instruction manual 😂 Anastasiia followed my detailed instructions and sent me a ton of updates to bring me peace of mind. I will definitely request to have him stay with her again.
Stephanie is amazing. She truly cares for our dogs as if they were her own. Stephanie sends multiple updates daily and it is very clear our dogs are comfortable in her house and right at home. The dogs have stayed with her twice and both times we were able to fully enjoy our trips because we knew the dogs were in excellent hands. Thanks Stephanie!
Sydney was so great! We left our dog, Bruno, in her care for 11 nights and she was so great with communication and occasional photos. We felt very comfortable the entire time and knew he was in good hands. He came home happy! Would definitely recommend and hoping Bruno can visit again when we need to go out of town.
Aashna and Sidhanth were excellent hosts! They provided regular pictures and updates on how our dog was doing. Our dog even had a brief episode of anxiety induced sickness for a day, but the love and care from Aashna and Sidhanth made him feel better soon thereafter. We will definitely keep them in mind for next time. Highly highly recommend them as hosts! Thanks again for everything!
Our dog Nessa boarded with Erin at her apartment for 7 days. She took wonderful care of our pup with daily walks in nearby parks, and Nessa returned back home happy. Erin also kept us up to date with information and photos. Scheduling the sit was also breeze and we greatly appreciated Erin's timely communications. We highly recommend Erin for dog sits!
Diana was an amazing caretaker for my dog Baxter! It’s clear how much she loves animals. Diana met with Baxter before my trip to get acquainted with him and Baxter immediately took to her. Her home was lovely and inviting. She sent me updates multiple times a day and my pup looked relaxed and happy in every photo. Her dog Charlie was a wonderful host too! Baxter was in great hands while I was gone. I am looking forward to being able to have Baxter stay with her the next time I need to go out of town. Thank you Diana and Charlie!

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.
