“Having Remy sit WallE over the weekend was a fantastic experience. She was extremely attentive and sent great updates throughout the weekend… my friends with children said I received more updates on my pup than they did with their children (which I loved)! WallE is very easy-going and I’m extremely happy to know he was a good boy all weekend and got along with her dog great. Remy kept great contact with me before, and throughout the weekend, which made me feel very safe and comfortable, so this was an overall fantastic experience!”
“Mallory and Argos are the best sitter and friend for our Rockyboy, she updated pictures and vdo of him everyday , we’ll definitely take Rocky back again :)”
“This was my pups first time with Kamille. Can’t say enough about Kamille’s very caring and attentive boarding experience for her. She gave my pup the time and space to get comfortable and provided me daily updates and videos. Will definitely use Kamille for all my boarding needs in the future.”
“Anastasiia was fantastic. She was super communicative, clearly loves dogs, and put me at ease knowing that my pup was in good hands. I'd happily rebook with her next time I need a dog sitter.”
“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!”
“We went away for 9 nights , which is the longest we've left our dog! I was so anxious, but every anxiety was eased immediately! Cal and Kelly took such amazing care of our giant, spoiled chocolate lab! We got so many daily pictures and videos and could see how much love and attention he was getting ! I could really tell they were treating our pup as if he was there own and welcoming him right into their family ! They have a beautiful home and perfect yard! I am so thankful we found them and definitely will use every time we need a boarding place ! You can trust them 100% with your fur baby !”
“Byamba and family did a great job watching Banjo for us, communicating throughout his stay, and sending us pictures daily. We appreciate them helping us in a quick bind! They were very kind, walked Banjo twice a day, and spoiled him!”
“Stacy did a fantastic job taking care of our great dane, Caroline. She sent updates daily and made sure to address our concerns. Very attentive. Will definitely be booking again with her.”
“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!”
“Cindy was outstanding with Elmo, he warmed up to her very quickly considering he has a reserved nature and resistance to routines changing. She was also very communicative and allowed for a straight forward reservation and handoff.”
About: My husband and I both grew up with dogs and are well-experienced dog owners. My husband, especially, has owned dogs of all different breeds, to include champion Russian Wolfhounds (his mom used to show dogs!). We have 3 young kids at the moment, all who love to pet and care for animals, espeically dogs, and will show them so much love and affection! We are responsible and will make sure pets are well taken care of and dogs are walked, fed and have a safe house to live in while they are away from their owners. My husband works from home full-time, and I currently work part-time, so there is always someone at home to watch over your pet and take them for walks when needed. We may have to step out for a couple hours in the evening to take kids to activities, but we are always home by bedtime/well before bedtime. We have a fenced yard, and can crate the dog if needed. However, if your dog is comfortable, they can also sleep on a dog bed in our kids' room, our room, or really wherever they choose in the house. For dog walking services, both my husband and I will make sure we enter the house as instructed and lock the door when we leave. We both like to run, so are also happy to take your dog on a run if they have the energy!
“Kerstyn took amazing care of Taffy for 10 days while we were traveling internationally and she sent regular updates and photos throughout the stay! Taffy had a wonderful time playing with Freya and was clearly sad to leave! Kerstyn also did a great job managing Taffy's quirks with patience and care! We highly recommend Kerstyn; your dog will be in excellent hands with this caring sitter!”
“Rodrigo is the best. He is considerate, accommodating, and sends great pictures and updates. My dog Curtis loves visiting for doggy daycare and extended stays.”
“Natalia and Edward were wonderful with my dog, Olly! From the start, they were kind, responsive, and easy to communicate with, which made me feel completely comfortable leaving Olly in their care. Throughout the week, they sent me regular updates and lots of cute pictures, which I really appreciated, it was so nice to see how happy he looked. They clearly took great care of him and made sure he got plenty of attention and love. When I picked him up, he was calm, content, and clearly had a great time. I’m so grateful for the care they gave him and would absolutely book with them again. Highly recommend Natalia and Edward to anyone looking for reliable, caring sitters!”
“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 needed 5 hours of dog care for my newly rescued senior Pomeranian and I’m so grateful to have found Donna. Donna provided a calm and caring environment for my dog to feel comfortable and relaxed, and they took a 20 minute walk together. Thank you so much, Donna!”

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Bethesda
Kyle was an amazing and attentive sitter for our old girl Phoenix. We had a vet appointment the day before and she had received more shots than we anticipated and it did not sit well with her. Kyle was so kind and not weirded out by the sudden bowl issues our pup had under his care and kept us updated all the time. We so appreciate that Kyle was so kind about this and made our wonderful pup comfortable. Definitely consider Kyle if you want an amazing time for your four legged loves!
Carly was great and treated my 10yo minpin like a princess. She had fantastic communications, very accommodating with dog specific instructions (we all have our odd dog routines that make them feel at home) and will be booking again 100% on our next trip. Thank you Carly!
Our dog was very happy. Anastasiia was very communicative and took great care of our dog. She is clearly a dog person and very professional. This was a repeat booking and we will book her again when we can. We were out of town and felt very happy with our dog in her hands. She also sent great pictures of our dog. Excellent job all around.
Lee Ann and her family did an amazing job caring for Murphy while we were out of town for a wedding. She was very communicative and kept us informed about how Murphy was doing. Her children and husband were very sweet and friendly, and Murphy seemed at ease. I would absolutely board him with them again and really appreciate the care she took with our dog, especially because he is still a puppy and still has some behaviors that can be difficult (marking in new environments!). Thanks Lee Ann!
Michaela was amazing! She took exceptional care of our sweet kitty, who needed meds three times a day during her stay. We booked her last minute and couldn't have been happier! Michaela communicated regularly; sent several adorable photos; and clearly made sure my cat felt happy, safe, and completely at home. I will definitely book with her again and recommend her highly!
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!!

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.
