About: My full time job allows for flexibility during the work day and allows me to work anywhere with wifi. I can often be in the home caring for your animals or taking them out more often than a traditional sitter who works a 9-5. I dog sit for many members of my family and have had dogs since I was 2 years old. I have a lot of experience giving medication and working with elderly animals. If I am available, I would love to set up a meet and greet to see if I would be a good fit! I work a flexible 9-5 and can drop in to walk or spend additional time caring for your animal(s) because of the flexibility! I wake up early as well! I treat each home like I am a true guest there and treat it and the animals if they were my own. I am very respectful of the rules and furniture.
“First time using Rover, and I'm so glad a friend recommended it! Tricia has great communication and attention to detail. She asked questions and everything was great when I got back from my trip. My elderly cat was well cared for. I will definitely book Tricia again!”
“Hannah was great and stepped up to help us with short notice. She is very good with a variety of cat personalities and comfortable following all our written notes. She is a quiet presence and allows the cats time to adjust and get to know her.”
About: Ive had pets since i was 7 years old. From dogs to hermit crabs ive been taking care of them for years. My neighbors rely on me when they go out of town and they need their pets taken care of. Rest assured I'll take care of yours too! I have two pets myself. I have a strict routine that helps my dogs thrive and i will keep your pets same routine as well. I have a huge yard and two pets. One of my dogs is calm while the other is not so to be on the safe side id rather pet sit in your home instead of mine.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for neighbors, friends, and coworkers since high school. From personal experience with my own pets to drop in visits for neighbors and friends, my love for animals drives me to provide thorough care with lots of cuddles (only if they like them, of course). I work a 9-5 schedule, so my mornings and evenings are always free to take care of your furry friends! My consistent schedule allows me to dedicate time to your pet's breakfast and dinner needs. I have years of experience with home visits! I will make sure I don’t leave a trace while taking care of your pets, whether that means cleaning dishes, consistently picking up in the yard, cleaning litter boxes, or whatever else you may need! I am happy to stay around for cuddles or be in and out, whatever fits your schedule and needs.
“She let my very energetic dog Koda out and made sure he did what was needed. I highly recommend Karen to anyone who needs someone to do the job needed. Great communication. This was my first time using rover and I appreciate her so very much . Thank you again”
“Makai was AMAZING!! He kept us updated the whole time and sent us the cutest pictures of our two kittens. He was kind enough to bring in some packages that were delivered to our house while we were away. We will definitely book Makai again!!”
About: Your pets are family, and they deserve the same care, attention, and affection they receive at home. I provide dependable, genuine pet care with a personal touch—treating every dog like they’re my own. I rescued my sweet girl Hashbrown when she was just a tiny puppy, cared for friends and family pets my entire life.I enjoy animals and their company plain and simple. I’m currently available M-F after 2pm for all your pet care needs. I can make myself available for extended care throughout the week if necessary and can do overnight stay as well. We have a decent sized fenced in back yard and a very friendly small breed puppy, so your puppy will feel very welcome. I am confident in my ability to care for your pup and their needs!
“Brooke was wonderful with my cat Jim!! She made me feel so much more at ease. She followed every instruction and took photos and gave great updates. I would 100% book with her a third time!!”
“Carmyne was amazing. She followed directions very well. Pitbulls can get a bad rep but she definitely took a chance on my sweet baby. Good looking out. Hopefully he sees you soon.”

About: I’ve had pets my whole life, from 8-week-old puppies and kittens to senior dogs and cats up to 13 years old, so I’m comfortable caring for pets at any stage of life. I love spending time with animals, whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or just keeping them company while you’re away.

I will care for them like they are my own and go above and beyond to make them feel comfortable and loved!
“I just love reading Bear's report cards after Soph's visits! It sounds like he's really coming around to her and this makes my heart smile knowing he gets these breaks and attention when we are away at work!”
“I am so thankful we were able to find Valerie to look after our babies. She sent updates, photos, and video providing us peace of mind. I highly recommend her and will definitely choose her again and again.”
About: hello! my name is Carrington. I'm 28 years old. I have a 5 year old husky mix named Shadow. I love animals and always have had them growing up. As a little girl when I lived in Michigan, I used to walk the neighbor's dogs. I even babysat my friend's dog and her puppies while on vacation because she only liked me and allowed me and her family near her and the puppies. I love playing at the dog park with my dog, training, going for walks, and just overall spending time with dogs. Honestly, I spend more time with my dog than most people. if you are interested in me walking your dog or taking care of your dog please message me! I hope you have a great day :) I am currently not working and going to school full time (online zoom classes) so I am available usually anytime :) my classes are on Tuesday’s and Thursday from 6pm-7pm I will make sure to keep your house the way it was, if not better. If I am staying at your house I will make sure to clean up after myself and your dog if there is a mess.
About: I love dogs more than most people. I’m very patient and love spending time with dogs. I love that every dog you meet has a different character. I’m looking forward to loving each puppy I get my hands on. I understand that accidents happen with animals, I’d be patient and understanding. I promise you, that I’m the best person for your dog. I’m passionate about every dog I meet. I don’t think there’s a better job for me. I’ll enjoy what I’d do and make sure to take care of your baby! Thanks for considering me, I look forward to working with you in the future in whatever capacity you may need me. I will make sure to be the most loving and caring sitter you will ever have.

Frequently asked questions about Rover
As of October 2026, there are 695 sitters on Rover offering Cat Sitting across Bethesda. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
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 .
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 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 .
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience with handling special pet needs in Bethesda. On Rover:
- 94% of sitters can help with special care needs
- 99% can help with giving oral medications or injections
- 97% can help with daily exercise
You can also find pet sitters on Rover who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies, kittens, or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
