“Kerstyn was so wonderful and attentive. She was super communicative throughout the time my dog boarded with her, sending me updates on what my dog was up to. I felt at ease knowing that my dog was in good hands and having a good time. It was a great experience both for my dog and for me. She was sensitive to any concerns or specific attention areas that I had as well. I will definitely reach out to her again when I need to leave my dog in trusted hands, and I’m sure my dog would be happy to return as well.”
“Marley had a great stay with Cal and Kelly! They were very accommodating to our last minute boarding request when we had a family emergency and had to rush out of town. We really appreciated the many photos and videos they provided during Marley’s stay and we could tell he definitely loved lounging on the couch and running in their backyard! They were super responsive to our questions during the stay and arranging pickup/drop off was very seamless. We would definitely recommend Cal and Kelly for ensuring your dog has a great time in a caring, home environment and will remember them for future stays!”
“Haydenn took great care of JenniFUR! She’s currently in an anxious stage where new friends and places can seem overwhelming, but Haydenn made her feel right at home!”
“Kamille gave our pup a loving home for the week and we are so grateful. The videos she sent us ware the whole so sweet and made us feel so relaxed that he was taken care of. She is also incredibly knowledgeable on collapsing dog cages! Will run to request dog sitting from her and her family in the future!”
“Dave took great care of Penny while we were away for 10 days. Dave made the whole process very easy and was great to work with. We got daily updates with photos, and peace of mind knowing Penny was in good hands and sticking to her routine. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Dave followed the care instructions well. Reliable, communicative, and great with dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future trips and highly recommend Dave to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!”
“Lia was great! Our older and anxious cat was very comfortable with her. We got frequent updates and photos and felt very reassured that our cat was in good hands. Our cat needs daily medication, which Lia also took care of without issues. Highly recommended!”
“Great sitter! We appreciated Antonio and his family treated our babies as their own family members.We were glad to see the pictures they send to us every day.Easy to communicate and flexible schedules.Highly recommend! Will definitely visit them again.”
“Meri is a joy to work with. She's so comfortable and caring with our dog. Our dog had a medical issue and she was very attentive to giving medicine regularly. She's energetic and our dog enjoyed her walks. Meri was also thoughtful in taking care of our place. We are so happy to know Meri and look forward to her care for our beloved family member in the future.”
“Donna is the best! My girl Finny is almost 17 years old and Donna is so patient and kind with her. I always know Finny will be safe and treated like family when I’m away.”
“We had a wonderful experience boarding our cat and dog with Derek. We needed a sitter last minute and he responded right away and was an absolute life saver. We got updates with pictures and videos daily and both Tiara and Coco looked so happy and well cared for. I miscalculated the date of our return by a day and Derek promptly extended the booking and made everything so stress free and seamless!”
“Christopher sent us plenty of photos and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel really comfortable and reassured. He took really good care of our dog, and our dog was super happy when we got back. This was our first time using Rover, and it turned out to be a great experience. We’d definitely recommend Christopher!”
“Bianca was a wonderful sitter. I knew the moment I met her that my pooch was in good hands which put me at ease. My dog takes time to warm up to people but he was well acquainted with Bianca so quickly. She provided frequent updates and I could tell my dog felt comfortable with her in photos. When I picked my dog up he was crying when she left and was searching for her. I would absolutely recommend her to look after your pet.”
“Abigail did a great job caring for my dog over the 4th of July weekend. I was able to relax knowing my dog was in good hands. As a bonus my pup had a great time playing with sweet Stella. Abigail was easy to coordinate with, gave regular updates and also was very knowledgeable about dog play styles/dog behavior. Highly recommend!”
“Mckinley watched my kitten Cashew over the July 4 long weekend, and she was awesome! A week before Cashew’s boarding stay started, she proposed a phone call to learn all about his care and any concerns I had. She sent consistent updates with photos/videos of Cashew throughout his stay, and he clearly had a blast playing with her cat!”
“Melissa was amazing from beginning to end. So sweet, so caring and so accommodating. She sent plenty of pictures, walks and love. My little pups absolutely loved their time with her. Thank you Melissa💕✨”
“Nadia was a pleasure to work with, prompt responses, professional and courteous, sent pictures of our dog every day, we will definitely book with Nadia in the future!”
“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!”
“Juliet was AMAZING. I boarded my dog with her for a few days and could not have felt more confident that he was being well taken care of. She asked about all his needs beforehand and communicated with me throughout the stay. She sent pictures/updates often and no doubt my dog loved staying with her and her dog Romeo. HIGHLY RECOMMEND JULIET — we certainly will be reaching out to her again.”
“Mallory and Max were so wonderful with our pup, Nora! They took care of her for 2 and half weeks while we were out of town. Nora got along so well with their dog, Argos, and she came back so happy!”

I had a great experience with Andy's overnight dog-sitting service. He was very communicative throughout the process and prompt with both pick-up and drop-off, which made everything incredibly easy. He also sent pictures during the stay, which I really appreciated, and my dog seemed like he had a good time.
Morgan was an amazing dog sitter for my whoodle, Cash! She asked so many great questions before watching him, and gave plenty of updates throughout the stay. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone in the area who has a dog. She went above and beyond and was super kind. Thank you!
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❤️🙏🤗
Lee Ann communicated often with this nervous pup's mommy, making the separation anxiety minimal. Stella enjoyed her stay, the play, the back yard, and has been sleeping all day since we brought her home. Thanks, Lee Ann, Charlotte, Henry and Mr. Lee Ann for making our pup feel at home!
Karla is outstanding — she watched my small Dachshund for almost a week and paid special attention to his diet, exercise and stimulation wonderfully. Plenty of outdoor activities, lots of indoor care, and excellent updates throughout the stay. I would recommend Karla fully!
Ayah was wonderful with Nugget. She was very clear about directions leading up to the weekend and was so nice in her communications. She was great at sending me updates at night as requested. Nugget looked so happy when I picked her up and it was very clear she was so well cared for while I was gone. Ayah was all around fantastic!
Dave took great care of Penny while we were away for 10 days. Dave made the whole process very easy and was great to work with. We got daily updates with photos, and peace of mind knowing Penny was in good hands and sticking to her routine. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well-cared for. Dave followed the care instructions well. Reliable, communicative, and great with dogs. We’ll definitely be reaching out again for future trips and highly recommend Dave to anyone needing a trustworthy sitter!
Meri is absolutely wonderful! She responds very quickly, is reliable, and loves dogs. My dog is very shy with most people, but she gets so excited every time she sees Meri, which says everything. It's such a relief knowing my dog is happy, comfortable, and so well cared for.
I really couldn't have asked for a better caregiver for my cat Boomer. David came over for a meet and greet before I dropped my cat off, just to get to know him. He suggested a new type of cat food that might work well for my cat. He provided litter, ordered toys (in addition to the toys I brought), sent me quality updates, and he dropped my cat off when my flight was delayed coming back. And Boomer was very calm and happy when I got back!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Bethesda on Rover is $62.16 per night (as of August 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 8,075 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.
