âThis was the first time we left our 5 month old puppy with a dog sitter. Leah took great care of Cooper and he didn't seem to want to leave when we picked up!! He is still getting used to other dogs and people & Leah was very patient with him. Highly recommend Leah!â
âJessica is amazing! This is the second time sheâs dogsat Marzipan. I appreciate her daily updates and photos. I love that my dog has a playmate, Nabi. With Jessica, I know my baby will be in great hands.â
âRoshni was such a great first boarding experience for my 4.5 month old puppy, Milo! She was clearly very experienced, took him regularly to the park to tire him out and so he could play with other dogs, and sent me daily updates on how he was doing. I felt super comfortable with her from when we first met, and she was very flexible when my first flight was canceled and I had to pick him up later than planned. It was a wonderful Rover experience and I will definitely book with her again! Thank you so much Roshni :))â

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
Romy and her family were absolutely wonderful with our 6 month old puppy. They provided a peaceful, dog-loving home and gave us complete peace of mind with excellent communication, including updates, daily summaries, pictures, and videos. Romy went above and beyond by purchasing a sweater for our puppy when the weather turned. We are so thankful to have found such a kind and experienced sitter and will definitely use Romy and her family again!
Johanna was a wonderful host for my 6 year old female kitty. She understands cats unique needs, and provided a safe relaxed environment when I was away on a work trip. You can tell she genuinely cares for animals and provides wonderful updates and photos. I would absolutely recommend.
Shuli is fantastic! We have been looking for someone who can take care of our beloved English Cocker Spaniel when we are out of town and I am so happy that we found Shuli. She responded to my request right away and squeezed us into her schedule at the last minute. Our dog gets anxious when we leave him, but he took to Shuli immediately during an initial meet & greet and then he happily walked right into her house when we dropped him off for his stay with her. She provided a warm and comfortable living environment for our dog, took him on numerous walks each day, sent tons of photos and videos, and took excellent care of him. She's very kind and responsible, and we'll definitely be using her again.
Kyle was FANTASTIC! He has a single family home with a fenced in backyard giving our pup plenty of space to play and roam. He is very responsive and sends a ton of pictures and videos throughout the stay. Our high energy pup came home happy (and âpoppedâ) from his stay with Kyle.
Remy and her husband were great with Pip. She got him to take his pills. Not an easy feat. I got updates a few times a day with photos. I'm so glad to have found people that he likes and treat him as hers. â¤ď¸đž Thank you Remy!! You don't know how much I appreciate you!! And of course The Admiral. đđŤĄ
Lee Ann and fam watched out 2.5 year-old Labradoodle for a full week and dealt with all the weird stuff our boy could deal out. Very warm environment for Zigg, who already misse his pal Oscar. She was also very flexible wirh pickup when we had travel issues. Great stay!
Abigail is the best sitter weâve ever had. Did pick up and drop off and took my kitty for an extra night. She played with my cat every day, and made special puzzles and treats for her. My cat usually takes a while to warm up, but was enjoying pets and cuddles with Abigail basically from the first day. I almost donât want to leave such a positive review because I want to keep Abigail to myself!! đ
Karen is a fabulous dog sitter. Our labradoodle had his first stay for five nights with Karen and her family and he did so well! Karen gave lots of walk, play time in the fenced yard and he just seemed to be very happy being in a comfortable, loving home environment. She sent great photos and communicated just the right amount! We will absolutely be rebooking and we are so glad to have found Karen.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost of Pet Boarding in Bethesda is $54 per night as of November 2026. Most bookings cost between $34 and $90 per night. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your petâs specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
There are 8,140 sitters on Rover for Pet Boarding in Bethesda. About 91% of Bethesda sitters can respond to requests in under 60 minutes. Whether youâre 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 petâs personality before confirming.
If you would like updates while youâre away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent youâd 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 Roverâs 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 casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet 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. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet.
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 Justiceâs 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 dogâs vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitterâs 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, youâre 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, Roverâs reservation protection means our team will work with you to find a suitable replacement as quickly as possible.
