“Mariah always comes back to us happier than when she left. Haydenn is a great communicator and gives frequent pupdates. More importantly, he has a way with dogs like no other. We are so grateful to have him in ours/Mariahs life!”

“We’ve been using Nadia’s dog sitting services repeatedly and couldn’t be happier. Our dog is always well cared for, and Nadia goes above and beyond when it comes to communication and accommodating our needs. We’ll continue booking with her and recommend her without hesitation.”

“Kerstyn was so amazing to help us out last minute! Our dog, Wilson, enjoyed his stay and we could tell from the photos and videos shared that he was well cared for. We definitely will be reaching out to Kerstyn to watch our dog in the future!”

“Rodrigo was a lifesaver on multiple occasions in just a few short days - accepting a frantic last minute booking I had when some plans fell through and being very patient and helpful dealing with unexpected travel delays on my return. Plus I could tell Watson had a great time and got along super well with the lovely Luna. I have actually already booked again as I knew Watson is in good hands. Thanks Rodrigo!!”

“Cal was amazing. He was warm and welcoming to my pup and me - and clearly is comfortable and experienced with all kinds of dogs. He sent me a ton of pictures and videos - which showed how much fun my pup was having. I can't thank him and Kelly enough for watching my dog while we were away. The constant communication made me comfortable that my pup was being well cared for while I was gone. Will certainly reach out to him again next time we have to leave town without my pup.”

“I felt at ease the whole time I was away from my dog, I received photos and videos daily, which really made me feel comfortable with being away for so long. When I returned home my dog was calm and was clearly well taken care of.”

“Second time boarding my dog with Jennifer, and so glad I did! I got pictures and updates every day, Jennifer followed all the instructions for my dog's medication and daily grooming, and it was super clear that my dog was happy and well looked after. Thanks to Jennifer and her family for another great experience!!”

“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.”

“Had a great experience with Dave! Very friendly and accommodating. Flexible on drop off/pickup times. Has crates so we didn’t have to bring ours. Dogs came home happy and tired, which is exactly what we were looking for.”

“Christopher took excellent care of Oslo! He made sure Oslo stayed active and had plenty of playtime and it was clear he was having so much fun. I really appreciated all the picture updates throughout the day, it gave me peace of mind knowing he was in great hands. I would definitely recommend Christopher to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring sitter.”

“Christian was awesome with Hazel! She sent multiple pictures and very quick to respond. She was very accommodating when we needed to change the pick up time. Great experience!”


“The entire stay was smooth and enjoyable. Chloe made sure to update me during zula’s stay by sending videos and pictures. Drop off and pick up both also went smoothly. Definitely recommend this stay!”

“This was Jake’s 1st stay with Stephanie and her family. The stay went really well, her neighborhood is so quiet with plenty of green space for a great walk. Jake loved playing with her children and came home worn out.”


“Remy was superb! Yogi had a great time with Remy and her husband, and thought their home was his. I would recommend Remy and send Yogi to her whenever needed. Many thanks to Remy and her husband!”

“Ollie has the best time with Donna and always comes back so happily tired! And we love all the adorable updates she sends. Ollie is excited to head back to Donna’s next week for more fun!!”

“Melissa was very kind, friendly, and quick to respond throughout my dog’s stay. She sent lots of pictures and updates, which I really appreciated and helped me feel connected while I was away. Communication was easy, and it was clear she wanted me to know how my puppy was doing. Thank you for taking care of Kuma!”

“Lia was highly responsive, helped us out in a bind on short notice, was incredibly accommodating, sent several helpful updates, sent a lot of cute and reassuring photos and gave me a sense of ease immediately. Highly recommend and would definitely book again!”

“Bianca is fabulous. She is kind, loving, competent, caring. She was attentive to my tiny, anxious, elderly dog's needs. Bianca adjusted and adapted what I'd shared with her so that it worked in her home, e.g., my dog wouldn't eat with the same set-up as I use so Bianca tried out different ways until my dog finally ate. I was curious to see how Bianca's cat would be with my dog. At the meet & greet they calmly sized each other up. During the stay Bianca shared a lovely photo of my dog snuggled on her sofa with her cat on the armrest. Nice, mellow companions. I was thoroughly comfortable leaving my dog in Bianca's care and will absolutely do so again when I go out of town and can't bring my dog with me.”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
Our mini golden doodle stayed with Kyle for 9 nights. He was very good at communicating with us, sharing photos and videos and keeping us updated on how she was doing. He gave her her medication and calmed her during the thunderstorms. Lily seemed to really enjoy playing with the other dogs who were being boarded. We will definitely use Kyle again.

Karen and her husband were amazing! I got updates and videos every single day and truly felt that my dog was being loved and cared for while I was away. Not only that but my dog had several medications to manage and Karen went out of her way to make sure Penny was taken care of. Will definitely be booking again thanks so much Karen!!

Daniela and Sergio were amazing with Jameson! They asked all the right questions and cared for him lovingly. He is an easy dog, but does have some senior needs. They went above and beyond to care for him. Daniela sent daily updates, which we really looked forward to and enjoyed. I could tell James enjoyed his time as well. Everything from the meet and greet to the stay was amazing. We would trust them with our guy at any time, no hesitation!

Aashna and Sidhanth were the most amazing family to my cat, Mellow. I received at least 3 updates every day with pictures and videos. I have never ever felt more at ease leaving my little boy behind on vacation. I never even had to reach out to ask how he was doing . They took such great care of Mellow that when we got him, he seemed happier with Aashna and Sid than we us lol he gave us the cold shoulder. I look forward to boarding Mellow with them again, and I HIGHLY recommend this amazing couple ! You two are just the best! Thank you so much !

Anastasiia was great with Kody!!! He warmed up to her so quickly, which means a lot because Kody doesn’t love everyone and comes with an instruction manual 😂 Anastasiia followed my detailed instructions and sent me a ton of updates to bring me peace of mind. I will definitely request to have him stay with her again.

Stephanie is amazing. She truly cares for our dogs as if they were her own. Stephanie sends multiple updates daily and it is very clear our dogs are comfortable in her house and right at home. The dogs have stayed with her twice and both times we were able to fully enjoy our trips because we knew the dogs were in excellent hands. Thanks Stephanie!

Abigail was nothing short of AMAZING! She watched our two cats, gave them food, daily medicine, played and cuddled with them, and treated them as her own. She even offered to pick up and drop them off since she watched them for a long period. This was our first time using Rover and I wish we tried it sooner. We’ll be booking with Abigail every time we’re out of town.
Sydney was so great! We left our dog, Bruno, in her care for 11 nights and she was so great with communication and occasional photos. We felt very comfortable the entire time and knew he was in good hands. He came home happy! Would definitely recommend and hoping Bruno can visit again when we need to go out of town.

Our dog Nessa boarded with Erin at her apartment for 7 days. She took wonderful care of our pup with daily walks in nearby parks, and Nessa returned back home happy. Erin also kept us up to date with information and photos. Scheduling the sit was also breeze and we greatly appreciated Erin's timely communications. We highly recommend Erin for dog sits!
Diana was an amazing caretaker for my dog Baxter! It’s clear how much she loves animals. Diana met with Baxter before my trip to get acquainted with him and Baxter immediately took to her. Her home was lovely and inviting. She sent me updates multiple times a day and my pup looked relaxed and happy in every photo. Her dog Charlie was a wonderful host too! Baxter was in great hands while I was gone. I am looking forward to being able to have Baxter stay with her the next time I need to go out of town. Thank you Diana and Charlie!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Pet Boarding in Bethesda on Rover is $62.94 per night (as of September 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 8,084 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.
