“The best! So helpful and lovely. They made sure to accommodate all of the special requests and left a note to me about how my dog did! Can’t recommend enough.”
“Nakye was great with Michelle- he was able to meet Michelle the day before to get acquainted with her and she loved him! He helped me out a ton by walking her while I was at a work event all day- I look forward to having him help out again.”
“Kevin was fantastic with his communication and punctuality. I felt great coming home knowing that our pup Lucy was well taken care of! He even went above and beyond and took her for a much longer walk than anticipated!”
“Toni is an absolute gift of a dog walker. She was extremely responsive and attentive to my pup’s needs, leaving detailed notes and sending photos. I appreciated her level of communication as well as her deep care for my pup. She asked all the right questions, and I knew my pup was in great hands. Thank you, Toni!”
“Evelyn responded promptly to my request for a dog walk and she came over and met my dog and I within 48 hours. I have a rescue dog with anxiety when it comes to new people. Evelyn was so sweet and patient with her. I even had a last minute change up where I had to add another dog that Evelyn had not met (friend having a baby), and she was accommodating and happy to help. 100% recommend Evelyn!”
“Caroline was awesome with my babies and really cared for them as if they were her own. Communicated throughout the days with me and I appreciate that. Will definitely hire her again!”
About: Hi my name is Destin and I’m a working professional based out of Orange County NY. Unfortunately I’m not boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions! I always make time to care for any pet! I’ll move things around to prioritize. My daily and weekly routines are very similar with little to no changes. Unfortunately I’ve halted boarding due to owning a cat myself. However, I’m always open to other opportunities! Regardless of where I care for pets, they’re always safe, secure and will have fun!
“Genevieve was wonderful! Very responsible and clearly cares deeply for animals. As a new pet owner, she made us feel very comfortable and confident having her be with our new pup. Highly recommend her - we plan to continue to use her in the future!”
“Karen was very sweet with my dog and made sure he had some play time with his walks. She was great about staying in touch with me and sharing updates from her visits.”
About: Hi! I’m Lorena, a reliable and caregiver who truly enjoys taking care of animals 🐾 I have several years of hands-on caregiving experience, and I also cared for a reactive dog for over 4 years. Through that experience, I became very comfortable reading dog behavior, managing different temperaments, and using basic training techniques to create a calm and safe environment. I understand how important it is to trust someone with your pet, especially if they have specific needs, so I always prioritize patience, safety, and consistency. I’m happy to follow routines, reinforce training, and adapt to what works best for your pet. Whether it’s walks, drop-in visits, or spending quality time with your pet, I’ll treat them with the same level of care and attention I would expect for my own. I’m dependable, responsive, and committed to giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also happy to provide updates and photos during each visit so you always know how your pet is doing! I work from home, so I’m able to give pets consistent attention and supervision throughout the day. This means your dog will have company, care, and a calm environment while you’re away. I live in a secure apartment building, which provides a safe and controlled environment for pets in my care. I’m mindful about safety at all times and make sure pets feel comfortable, relaxed, and well looked.
About: I’ve been surrounded by dogs my entire life and absolutely adore caring for and walking/running/playing/cuddling with any and all animals! I’d love to care for your pet and hopefully brighten their day the same way they’re sure to brighten mine! As a cat owner, i make sure to follow a routine every day with feeding, cleaning after, playing with and challenging my cats! When a I’m living with dogs I will create a daily routine to walk and play with them! I will care for anybody’s pet with the same respect and caution i care for my own! Understanding their behavior and personality is the biggest key! Will be vigilant and communicative with their owner!
About: Hi I’m Rainy! My family and I have two dogs Skip and Snow. Skip was 15 years old when she passed away and Snow is a 10-year-old gentle lady. Growing up with them has been the best thing ever for me as a child. I also dog sit for my friends and family since I was little. I enjoy being around them! I work as a full-time nurse, doing three 12-hour shift per week. My schedule depends on the staffing, working weekdays mostly with rotating weekends. But I do have 4 days off per week to be flexible. I adapt fast in different environments and can accommodate the needs of your dogs. I have experience in taking care of puppies and senior dogs, which I understand the difference in energy and needs.

Whitney was an absolute lifesaver walking my two little pups. They warmed up to her instantly. She went above and beyond making sure they were safe and got good exercise and sniffs. Communication was perfect. I would absolutely reach out to Whitney as a top choice for future walks. Highest recommendation. Thank you Whitney!
Sidney has been walking my dog for two months. She is very dependable and shows up at the agreed time. She also provides notes regarding the walks with pictures. She is kind to my dog and has an overall friendly demeanor. I am sorry that she won't be able to walk Holly after the middle of September.
Caden did an amazing job during all the summer time with weekly walks with my Benny, reliable and trustworthy. Sometimes on my request, because of the rain he was willing to change the schedule time to avoid benny being outside during rainstorm. I highly recommend!
Toni is always on time for walking, even played with our dogs. Pets were completely relaxed in her care, and we received daily photo updates, which is reassuming. Toni is excellent, she treats ours like her own. We’ll definitely be booking again for our next trip.
Naomi did a fantastic job taking great care of our three rambunctious dogs while we were away on vacation. Walking them twice daily, sending photos on daily walks, and checking in. It was a relief to see them so happy and well cared for while we were away. Naomi was very kind and gentle with our dogs even though they have a tendency to pull and she kept us updated thru text messages. Since we arrived back home our dogs have been sitting in the window looking for Naomi most especially around the normal times she would arrive. I would not hesitate to have Naomi care for our pups again. Very consistent and reliable, Thank you Naomi for your great care and kindness!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Walking in Bethesda on Rover is $22.2 per walk (as of September 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Walking 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 Walking. For more information on service fees, click here .

Whether you want a solo or group walk depends on your dog's personality. Solo walks can be beneficial for dog parents with reactive dogs, puppies, or dogs who are anxious around unfamiliar animals. Many dog walkers on Rover offer private, one-on-one walking services.
Group walks are a good fit for social dogs who enjoy structured walks. If your dog prefers the energy of a group stroll, ask your dog walker about group walks in your Bethesda. Since all dog walkers are local, they may have a neighborhood dog who is a good walking companion to yours.
For dog walking services, you can request a report card update with specifics about your dog’s walk. Report cards require photos and can include a map of the walking route , total walk time, poop and pee breaks, and distance traveled, so you know exactly where your dog has been walking in Bethesda.

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 walker 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 .
Yes, you can find walkers who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bethesda. On Rover:
- 89% of walkers can help with special care needs
- 95% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 96% can help with daily exercise
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your dog, and a walker. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your walker 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 walker questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and walkers 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.
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 walker.
