House Sitting in Bethesda

“Kevin was so wonderful with my fur babies. ( which was also a new dog that I recently rescued) He gave them a lot of attention and a nice walk.”

“Summar was absolutely FANTASTIC as our dog sitter this past week. She sent multiple updates per day with adorable pictures of Comet having adventures throughout the day as well as a description of his daily activities. She left us a welcome home note, printed collage of Comet picture from the week, and a treat upon our return! The house was in perfect shape and Comet was a very happy puppy. He LOVED Summar - she has a very natural, outgoing, loving personality that set me and Comet at ease immediately. I will use Summar as often as she is available to dog sit in the future. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! Thank you Summar for your thoughtful and attentive care of our beloved pooch Comet!”

“Omar and Claudia are exceptional!  They took excellent care of my puppy Ellie while I was away on a weekend trip.  After our initial meet-and-greet, my husband and I felt comfortable and confident that my fur baby would be in good hands.  Omar and Claudia are professional adults who are very polite and have kind, caring hearts.  As a frequent traveler, I feel so fortunate to have met Omar and Claudia, whom I can trust, and who can give good care and love to my baby Ellie.”

“Gabrielle was the perfect housesitter for our dog. They met with us ahead of time to walk through the house and meet our dog, showed up on time, gave frequent updates, walked our dog regularly, took fantastic care of our house and cleaned up after themselves, and were extremely communicative and responsive throughout our trip. We would definitely work with Gabrielle again and highly recommend them to others.”

“Mark always goes above and beyond, leaving your pup (and place) better than he found it. He’s a natural when it comes to dogs. Not only does he provide ample care for your pup, he encourages good behaviors and reinforces training. He will always be my go-to man for dog sitting, as both my dog and I adore him. Thanks for all you do Mark!”

Emma H.

“Nicole was amazing with our two dogs. They were well loved and cared for while we were out of town, and our pups loved her! Would highly recommend her. Thank you so much!”

Taylor P.

“Grateful for Jules’ attention and care for our golden! She figured out his unique personality and habits and he was happy to have company at home.”

Danielle R.

“Stephanie always does a great job with our two cats, including one that requires medication. She is very conscientious, leaves our house in tip top shape and communicates updates and photos every day.”

Monika H.

“Melissa was great with our dog! She was very responsive and reached out with photos and check-ins. She also left our home in great shape. We would love to have her watch Lolli again!”

Beth F.

“Rakia took great care of my two dogs. I have a special needs dog (all the anxieties/reactivity) and she managed her meds and needs perfectly. I highly recommend Rakia!”

Libby B.

“Sarah was so wonderful! Tonto can be an anxious pup and he seemed to really warm to her. She was very communicative and sent daily updates and pictures. Very thankful to have found a great and trustworthy sitter for my guy!”

Summer C.

“Karachi was amazing! She was able to house sit for us on short notice after another sitter canceled, and not only took great care of our dog but left the house even cleaner than when we left. Highly recommended and would definitely book again!”

Justin L.

“I had a last minute trip come up and Mari went out of her way to do a meet and greet the day after I contacted her. She was very attentive when I explained daily tasks and she asked insightful questions that showed she really knows animals and wanted to make sure my cat was happy. She sent me updates every day and always responded to me right away. Thanks so much, Mari!”

Stacey S.

“Shamaurie is wonderful and I will always recommend him to others, so thoughtful and professional, communicative and caring about all the needs of our girl Zoe.”

David T.

“Erica stayed at our house and took care of our 99lb German Shepherd. She was very communicative and attentive. We have worked with her more than once and will look for her again in the future!”

Brook P.

“Gabby was fantastic! She took great care of River and our house while we were out of town. Highly recommend her, and would definitely use her again in future!”

Minnie M.

“Neva was wonderful while staying at my place to care for the dogs. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which I really appreciated. The house was left clean and tidy, and my dog was happy and relaxed when I got home. I’d defiantly recommend her.”

Francine C.

“It takes a patient and calm person to patiently befriend and gain the trust of our dog. Sharon was great and adaptable and was also so great about keeping us updated on things while we were away. She also left a very sweet card and photos for us.”

Reuven W.

“Carol is incredible. She put my shy dogs immediately at ease, got my picky eater to eat without fail and kept me updated daily. We felt very comfortable every minute we were away. We highly recommend.”

About: Hi everyone, My name is Rachel and I am a huge animal lover who is passionate about providing the best care and companionship for our furry friends. I have been pet sitting for close to 7 years now, through Wag and also with Rover. Experience in administering medicine for both cats and dogs and currently in process to be First Aid certified for pets as well! (As of July 2025) I grew up with animals, as I had taken care of my own dog-Misia, a coackapoo, for 10 years and my mother with her Havanese dog, Tomo, of 4 years (and on-going!) I lead an active lifestyle and take dogs out for a long walk or find fun ways to play with cats too. I want to make sure I can provide a tailored approach to make sure your pets' needs are met as a photo enthusiast, happy to take pictures and provide an update throughout a boarding and/or a sitting especially. Coming up close to 7 years of being a pet sitter for Wag, Rover and individual clients, I would be honored to be your reliable pet sitter! Currently my schedule is very open and flexible. I can accommodate a boarding at my apartment, as well as pet sitting/drop-in visits, as well for all days of the week. *Note for Boarding requests* I have another 4-year old Havanese dog (very friendly) at my apartment. Happy to have another dog for boarding but please read this note before booking a boarding request!** Thank you 😊 First and foremost what's important is that I understand the client's needs and their instructions on how to take care of their pets. Once you book my service, I would be more than happy to do an in-person meet and greet or a video call. If there are any further instructions (beyond what is listed on the Rover app), then I am happy to provide my personal email address if you would like to e-mail the instructions. These are the steps I take to ensure I can take care of the clients' pets in a safe and trusting environment.
