“I board Winston with Michael every time I go out of town. I get pictures of all of the activities they do together and all of the new doggy friends Winston makes. I feel entirely confident that my dog is getting the best care when I’m away.”
“Shaela took incredible care of my dog Harvey while I was out of the country! She was extremely attentive and responsive, sending me pictures and keeping me updated. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.”
“We have used Austin and Majid on multiple occasions (and already have them booked for our next stay.) Francis is always so happy when he recognizes that we are on their street. They take great care of him and are glad to have a safe place for him to be when we are away.”
“Sonia was the best sitter for my dog. She was so sweet and understanding from the moment we met. She kept me updated with Kleo's day and sent plenty of pictures. I will definitely book again, thank you Sonia for taking care of my baby!”
“Thanks for taking such good care of our Romeo! He loved your home so much that he didn't want to leave! Thanks for sending all the adorable photos and updates, too. I hated to be away from our little fur ball, but at least had the piece of mind that he was living the good life in your home. ❤️”
“Kyle was such a wonderful sitter for my pup over the long weekend! Ringo was well taken care of, socializing with his dogs, and I received daily updates and pictures. It was a wonderful, calm environment.”
“Rose is FANTASTIC! A loving, fun and calm spirit! Pippy was so very happy and content staying with her and Zeus! I would rebook in a minute and often! We found a gem amongst rocks! 🤗”
“Haydenn was a lifesaver after I had another Rover fall through super last minute. He made pick up and drop off easy and took great care of my dog! We'll definitely be back again.”
“Hermes had a long stay with Kelly, 17 days! Kelly took such good care of him including tick check and wiping his tear marks due to mild allergies. She sent me pictures and updates on Hermes on regular basis and Hermes was definitely a happy dog under her care and playing with her two lovely kids. I will book Kelly again no doubt! Thank you so much Kelly, Hermes loves all three of you!”
“I couldn’t be happier with the care my dog Bella received! She was watched for three days and came back happy, calm, and clearly well taken care of. I got regular updates, photos, and could tell she was in great hands the entire time. It’s such a relief to know I have someone I can trust with Bella. Highly recommend and will definitely be booking again!”
“Our dog, Margo, had a great time! Cal & Kelly T. were excellent hosts and sent us lots of videos and pictures. We recommend them 100% and definitely will ask them to watch Margo in the future.”
“This is the third and longest time Ozzy stayed with Megan and Adam. He adores them and they always take great care of him! They are responsive and so easy to work with. We (and Ozzy) are looking forward to the next time!!”
“Literally the best sitter EVER! Lina and her family were just superb in taking care of my baby and he came back so relaxed and happy. I would highly recommend them as sitters and will absolutely be sending my dogs their way again!”
“Anne Marie took such great care of Danny, she was patient and kind to him as a senior dog and just loved on him! I will definitely be asking Anne Marie to care for him again when I need it.”
“I am a clingy, overprotective dog mom. It’s me, I’m the problem. I get it. But my pup was so happy at Christine’s, she did not want to leave. My dog is super active (busy, always busy) but she’s currently still pouting and napping after 10 days at her new best friend’s house. Christine was the perfect amount of communicative to let me enjoy my trip out of the country, while allowing me to not have constant anxiety. She is also super understanding and flexible, which is a huge plus. My pup will definitely be staying with her again soon! So happy and grateful to her.”
“Chris is an amazing dog sitter! I had such a great experience with Chris! He is so nice, friendly, and truly cares about the pets he watches. While I was on vacation, he sent me videos and photos of my dog Isabella, which gave me such peace of mind. Chris took excellent care of her, and when I picked her up she looked happy, relaxed, and refreshed. I will definitely use his services again for dog sitting — he’s amazing! Thanks again Chris!”
“Kamille is the best! She alwaya sends videos and pictures and takes care of my dog like it’s her own. My dog gets more playtime than he does with me! I highly recommend Kamille- I’ve been leaving my dog with her for years now!”
“I've booked with Julia a few times now and always have a great experience. She spends lots of time with my dog and sends lots of photos. She has multiple spaces so she can group dogs by energy level and individualize your dogs experience. I love that my dog gets to socialize with another chihuahua, without being overwhelmed by higher energy dogs. And she has a great yard for the dogs to sniff around.”
“Faustine was an amazing dog sitter and was super sweet, flexible with great communication skills. We super appreciate Faustine and we would 100% use her again!!!”

Lee Ann and her family were exceptional puppy hosts! Our pup settled in right at home with their pup and kids. Their place is very dog friendly and Lee Ann responds so thoughtfully, with regular updates and quick correspondence. We even caught our puppy learning new moves to hint at wanting to go outside. Would highly recommend and rebook soon!
Daniela was a great Dog Mom to Kofi while we were away for almost a week. She and her husband showed lots of love and care to him during the stay. She was communicative with updates, including photos and videos, and very easy going and flexible. She followed instructions well for his schedule. Kofi adjusted very quickly which was a testament to the caring environment they provided. Thank you Daniela and Sergio for allowing me to be worry-free about Kofi while away. 🤗
Erin is a just wonderful. Super kind, was great to chat with, very loving with my dog, and overall a great person. I got updates and she is very sweet understanding with drop off and pick up. I will be hoping she is available again and would recommend her to everyone.

The average cost for Pet Boarding in Bethesda on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of July 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Pet 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 Pet Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
There are 8,127 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bethesda. About 91% of Bethesda sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether you’re planning ahead for holidays, need last-minute care, or need same-day coverage for an urgent trip, you can message multiple sitters at once to find available care.
Once you find the right match, you can arrange a Meet & Greet to ensure they are a perfect fit for your pet’s personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
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.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your pet, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter 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 sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters 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.
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. Cats may be required to have Feline Viral Rhinotracheitis and Rabies up to date.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
Emergency support is available by phone or email in English 24/7. When an incident occurs, we recommend that sitters contact our Trust & Safety team immediately so that they can connect your sitter with a board-certified veterinarian or offer other resources to help.
If a sitter needs to cancel at the last minute, Rover’s reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
